Blue highlight for tab selecting gon in AC14 on Mac??

Hello all,

I just recently upgraded to AC 14 (haven't been allowed to use AC for the past year, only Rhino or Revit allowed...boo), and am dismayed to find that the shift-tab-select method for tabbing through multiple objects on top of each other seems to be gone, somewhat. It still shows up in the tracker, saying what will be selected, but the blue highlight lines never show up anymore?

My friend has AC 14 for PC, and they are still there, so I am assuming there is some sort of setting or glitch I dont know about?

Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks!

Sloan:

Check Work Environment > User Preference Schemes > Selection and Element Information > Element Information: Highlight element contours before selection.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
