Hello,
why this happens. It is the same material, vertices are all in the same plane, same mapping and smoothig groups. Only difference is that some have yellow color vertices and other white. I am using 3DS Max 2024.
I had to boolean the numbers cause when I had them over the mesh below, sometimes, some of them would not appear/show.
First image is the glitch, the yellow mesh is sunken into the asphalt.
Second image is as I would expected it.
