Originally posted by skywola I find it very hard to believe that it would be the graphics card when the tools show up in the prespective view . . . . There is no logic to that arguement. I am more inclined to believe that it is a MEL scripting error, or (worse yet) a internal coding error within Maya). More likely a MEL scripting error . . . . the tool shows up in one window, but not the other three . . . It would probably be solved by either updating MAYA or finding the coding in MEL for the windows and comparing to find out what the PERSPECTIVE window coding is doing that the other three are not. . . . That's my 2 cents, for whatever it is worth. :bandit: I was speaking from experiance, it happend to me, unless of course my card caused a fault in MEL, which I doubt, also someone else asked this question and installing the latest graphics card drivers worked for them???
