Curtain wall is excluded from Drag command using marquee

[alexliz]

Very simple project, with 4 curtain walls for a small conservatory - 3 for vertical elements, the fourth one is for the roof. This last one was built in Elevation view, if that makes any difference to how it is handled by AC.

I want to move the whole construction. I select everything using the Marquee tool. The roof curtain wall element stays put. Only by direct selection using the Arrow tool can I move it. Nothing is locked, everything is in the Main Model Design Option (there are no other options on this project). Video attached.

Any tips anyone?

I don't recall reading anything specific about it.

But I rarely use curtain walls, so I wouldn't be reading up on them often.

I'm the same. Only for this small project, a conservatory extension in the UK, it looked like the tool to use.

I must say, from a user's point of view it is not very logical (although I do understand the point about there being no stretch selection nodes). In plan view you do see nodes, albeit the more faint type. And although Morphs' nodes are also a bit peculiar, they do get included in the operation based on Marquee.

 

 

 Thanks for looking into this, Barry.
