Problem with selecting objects

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 14:26:18 GMT

Hello,

I have a fresh install of AC16 and I have a problem with selecting objects in 3D window. I used to select objects, let's say walls, in the middle of the object and it was selected. Now, when I try to select it, it automatically uses rectangular selection tool .Is this related with snap settings?
Thanks in advance,
Rok

In 3D it is easier to select elements by clicking once on their surface.
To do this you must have the 'quick select' magnet turned on.
Sounds like yours is turned off.
Personally I prefer to leave it of and then use the space bar to togle it on when I need it.

Barry.
