Customer reported version
Modo.17.0v5
 

Customer reported platform
Windows 10

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Modo.
2. In the Create toolbar, hold Shift and click on the bottom right Primitive to add a plane.
   
   

   

3. Press F3 to open the Brush Tools window and navigate to the Particle Tools tab.
4. Scroll down to find the Particle Paint tool.
5. With the Particle Paint tool selected, drag the tool over the mesh. This should normally generate visible particles on the mesh, but in this case nothing seems to happen.

Expected behaviour
Visual particles should appear on the mesh. The stats window should also update to show the number of vertices added to the scene. 

Actual behaviour
Nothing has happened, either visually or in the stats window.

Workaround
Unknown.
