Can't select Items

Anonymous
Not applicable
I can't select items like the walls, columns, etc in the 3D window or plans anymore... Prior to this happening, I had just discovered how to generate a 3D section and use filters to display only certain floors, etc... I'm sure I have turned something on/off to cause this problem but I don't know what... One other hint maybe that the area on the floor plan where I sued the marquee to select for the 3D wall section is still more bold than the other items.

When I try to select just a wall in the floor plan (with the arrow as the selection tool), the prompt says "complete selection rectangle"... Almost seems like its stuck in marquee mode.

My project (national competition) is due next week and this has killed my productivity... Help!!!

Thanks!!!

I dont know what the grip snap is...

I THINK I figured out my problem though... in the Info Box, the "U shaped magnet" looking button wasn't selected.

It is easily toggled on/off with the S key.
