3DS MAX 2015 Select hell

[glorybound]

I am sure you have experienced elements not being selected, when you select them, but is there a fix? It's costing me a ton of time to selecting, delete/move/copy..., zoom and select again, and again...0

You get used to it

[glorybound]

It is a nightmare.

[jacksc02]

are you using SP2?

[glorybound]

yes, I think so. I'll have to double check.

are you using SP2?

I have had a few issues with 2015 and at one stage I deleted my 3dsmax.ini file and it seemed to fix quite a few problems.

It is a nightmare.

I find that it's a little better if you're in wireframe

It's what you pay subscription for - so they can fix things they broke last year and break things to fix next year.

I went back to 2014 I could not stand the selection bug. Autodesk said it due to an issue with Wacom and Spacemouse drivers and they are "looking into it"

[glorybound]

I don't have either the Wacom or Spacemouse, so they are looking at the wrong thing.

[glorybound]

Yes. Also zooming lets you get another stab at it, zoom again for more....

Try this...I found it on the Area forums it seems to help with the selection bug.

NitrousGraphicsManager.HardwareHitTestEnabled = false

[glorybound]

I'll sure try, thanks.

i can confirm this works

[glorybound]

I guess it worked for me too, not that I think about it. At first I thought it had to be done each time, but maybe not.
