I'm in 3ds max and I'm working on my Mac 10 and all of a sudden I notice that the verts are extremely tiny what do I do?

Happens sometimes by accident, I would just save my progress and restart 3ds Max, it should fix any unusual problems without having to go technical.

kk Thanks. Sigh A bit stuck on the mac 10. If you don't mind helping can you tell me how to make this? How would you model that hole on the top ? Well it's kind of a hole where you pull the thing back to load it.

use the boolean tool m8, make the shape and then use the boleean tool to cut the hole out of your mac 10. use google if you need to learn how to use it

The tool is fine to use, you may just have to do some clean up work. Always use Edit poly not edit mesh. And a few tutorials wouldn't hurt :wink:
