The wierdest thing...

[-WOODY-]

While messing aroung in a scene I was clicking on various center axis points in side view to select different parts of my model then hitting the "adjust object center" commands to center everything up.
I clicked on one axis point to center it and a green selection box appeared in the upper left hand corner of the screen. I couldn't grab it or size it and no matter where I panned around, the green box stayed in the upper left hand corner.
The wierdest thing was that when I selected the axis point, I could see my forum name "-WOODY-" in the object name box.
What in the world is going on there!!!!!???

I didn't create anything and give it my name LOL.

I'm not sure why woody appeared in the name box - perhaps the window became corrupted with other bitmapped graphics?

Anyway, the green box problem indicates that there was an object with no vertices/surfaces. Because it has no geometry, the green box gets the wrong size and is drawn at the top of the window.

On deleting vertices, any empty objects should be cleaned up automatically and it looks like, somehow, you've managed to make the object hang around (and it's selectable from the object centre that's displayed).

If you can remember what you did to get this 'empty' object or can duplicate this, please let me know.

ROFL......

I wish I knew what the heck I did to get it to do that because I was trying to see if I could create an empty for rendering or modding purposes. Now that it happend by accident, I can't remember what it was I did in the first place.
If it happens again I'll play around and see if I can figure it out.

Edit: You know on second thought, sometimes when I'm logged into the forum, someone will ask a question on how to do something and when I try to answer, I'll have AC3D running at the same time. I"ll jump back and forth between the forum and AC3D piddling around so I'll know how to answer. Maybe somehow AC3D picked up on the log in info or something like that. That's about the only thing that I can think of.
