i think this has been around for a while. There are times when viewing in wireframe mode I can't select solids. I could be the entire solid or just a face during a move face command for example. Sometimes when I click near the edges, the solid will select. The only thing that consistently works is to go to shaded mode and then back to wireframe mode. The other two seats we own are having the same issue. Are we the only ones?

I see this selection problem in wireframe quite often. Switching to shaded view seems to allow selection.

I did not have this problems in CU. I just upgraded to Shark and this is a pain.

Surely this is easy to fix?

In wireframe mode, we don't regenerate the facets to improve performance in wireframe mode. But... if the facets are not there, it's supposed to pick the NURB/analytic faces.

I'll check it out why its not picking the nurbs stuff if the facets are not present. I've repeated here as well.

In wireframe mode, we don't regenerate the facets to improve performance in wireframe mode. Normally selections are based on facets. But... if the facets are not there, it's supposed to pick the NURB/analytic faces.

Tim,

Thanks.

I assume you know it happens to surfaces as well.

Tim how long before we can see this update because this bug is vary costly to me and can we fix the the model to sheet line scales, the plan views scale are 1 and the sections are 0 when exported to Autocad v13. These bugs are unacceptable.
