Polygonal marquee tool does not stretch everything

Anonymous
Not applicable
Since we got Archicad12, the marquee tool when used in polygonal (free form) mode, does not stretch everything that is within it's area. It will stretch almost everything, but there is always a couple of lines or fills that do not get stretched.

If I use the marquee tool in rectangle mode, everything gets stretched.

Does anyone else have this problem? I can't seem to find any info on it.

And after the stretch.
All the walls have stayed as they were.
No layers or elements are locked.

Did any one else having this trouble have multiple copies of Archicad open at the same time, or maybe other programs that aren't usually running?
My colleague who was having trouble just tried again and all was fine.
but remembered he had to other Archicads running last time.
Started up two more sessions and the problem was back.

In your screenshot, it does not look like you suspended grouping. Perhaps that is related to the problem?

Hi,
I missed this topic back in December. I actually posted this as a bug back in beta testing. The biggest problem is it is almost impossible to duplicate. It also seems to go away when switching between computer platforms. Or if a line in the marquee area is modified sometimes that would fix it. I have not had the problem since we got out of beta.

My recommendation is that you take the file hot spot the corners of the polygonal marquee write which direction you were drawing it and where you were stretching and send it to your rep. Maybe if enough people do this they can track down the bug.
