unselectable surfaces

Dec 20, 2004 4 Replies

Using SW 2005 sp 0.0 Created a model of with some fairly complex geometry, all was OK until I used the deform feature to do a point deform. now some of the surfaces are unselectable, attempting to select them just picks the planar surface behind them. I have tried r click and select other but the surface I want is not in the list. tried exporting as parasolid and opening in sw2004 sp4.2 and sp5.0 still no luck. I also tried filtering all but surfaces.



anyone else had this experience? know of a workaround?



TIA


I can't help you directly but I can confirm problems here in 0.1 with selecting faces etc and also ghost geometry showing up. I think there are problems with update/clean out of z buffers. I made this known during beta. It has been esp. noticeable in split windows- I span 2 monitors.

Yeah, it happens, and it's usually with trimmed surfaces or imported surfaces.

Figured out a workaround... to select the "unselectable" surface turn on filters and set to select only faces, go into desired command and window select face required (and any adjacent faces that happen to be included in the window select) deselect the undesired faces and continue with the command.

got me out of a tricky spot this time.
