Hi dexyd,

can you provide a detailed step-by-step description how to use the mcloth function in 3dsmax? That would help us to reproduce the issue.

Thanks,

I have exactly the same problem using 3DS Max 2017 (also wasn't working on 2015). Just uninstalled 3DConnexion drivers and it works.

In answer to your previous, open max, create a sphere above the ground plane, open the Mass FX toolbar, then, with the sphere selected, press the add cloth modifier (T-SHIRT). Then hit PLAY in the MASS FX toolbar. the sphere should drop and crumple into a mess. Before uninstalling, the sphere would not do anything!

Need a fix for this as I use my Connexion mouse for Solidworks!
