Basic Cell Fracture not appearing to work I'm new to Blender, and am using Blender 2.78b, and I thought I would try cell fracturing a cube. I turned on the Cell Fracture add-on in User Preferences and subdivided the cube a  couple of times. I tried to use the Cell Fracture add-on, and it seemed to be working like it did in the tutorial I was watching, but when it was done the cube returned to its original state. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
I am noticing on 2.77 that Cell Fracture will add the fracture cells to the outline, but they are not visible.  If I save the blend, restart Blender and load the blend, then the cells will show up.  I don't know why this behaves this way and would love to know if there is a fix.
