Marquee tool, ArchiCAD 10 - weird experience

[Anonymous]

I cannot get the marquee tool to actually select a marquee. I am attaching a screen shot of what I see now as I try to select a marquee area.

Minutes before this the tool would appear after I selected the area, but not with usual trailing line defining the marquee as I selected area.

slightly off topic: do you mean the 'rubber band' that follows the cursor?
if yes, you don't need to restart, just go to your 3d window and come back to the plan, that sorts it out.

Thanks, xristina. You're absolutely correct. I was aware of this too, just slipped my mind. Hasn't happened for a while.

And sorry, jrh323. Wasn't implying you don't know what you're doing. I just couldn't see from your description what you were doing that was causing a "problem".

Cheers

Didn't mean to appear snippy, just frustrated by the quirks... I wouldn't want to leave an impression that I DO know what I'm doing with ArchiCAD!!

Thanks again all. You have provided a wealth of information, and soothed my fears.
