quick selection and roofs in AC22

Anonymous

Good morning,
AC22, the quick selection tool (magnet) does not work on roofs in plan view/model view. The only way I can select the roof is by the edges. Does anyone have the same problem?

Thanks,
Jim

In AC22, surface selection on Overhead elements was removed to give priority to surfaces of Uncut elements below (on Floor Plan).

Under "Selection" section (need to scroll down a bit).

Thanks, that answered my question.

So there is no way to select overhead elements with the magnet any more?

It seems not, because the overhead portion does not have a fill any more.

You can still click on the ridge/hip lines.
