   Except for your sentence about clearing the scene and then
everything working OK, I'd think it might be that you set the maximum
to be less than the minimum. Very easy to do. (I found I need to keep
a sharp eye on the rotation readout to see which is the min and which
is the max.)
   An obscure sentence in the manual says that if you do this, LW sets
both to the same value.
   (Why can't LW figure out the min/max by itself? It should just
switch the numbers if the max is less than the min. I thought
computers were supposed to be good at math... :)
