Maya 2017 placement nodes not visible/work

[nickeays]

I have had to convert my set up from maya 2018 to 2017 as i needed the legacy particles available in maya 2017 so i have installed and set up maya 2017 and reinstalled the miarmy plugin to 2017 maya and in my scene i cant seem to figure out how to make the placement nodes visible, i have them scaled to 30 so it isnt a size thing and when i go to place my original agents its not working either.

Would really appreciate some help here!

Im working on windows 10 so i figure there should be a solution out there

i solved the problem myself, i had to change to legacy viewport!

[Yeah YANG]

Yes, it is, Only Maya 2018 fully support viewport 2.0
And before that, there are always some bugs of viewport 2.0
So we removed it.

Cheers!
