archigraphica Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Here's a pretty common (once a day minimum) problem. The attached screenshot shows a piece of unselectable geometry that's generated after any number of operations. I used Cntl-A to select everything to show it was indeed not selectable. This one was came from using the reshape tools. I haven't pin pointed which tools cause it and which ones don't but the reshape tools are pretty common causes. The only way I've found to fix it is close the file and reopen it. Then you can select the geometry and delete it. Not a huge problem just a workflow speedbump. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Hi Archigraphica, Sorry you are having trouble, but we have not heard of this before. If it ever happens again, Undo to make the object selectable again, save and close the file, then reopen it and try to do the same operation again. If you reproduce this, then please send the "before" file and the steps causing it so we can investigate this further and help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setz Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 MacPro 2010 OSX 10.9.5 FZ 8.5.6 Make a cube, begin a reshape inwards. Mid operation CMD click to change direction (surface-ref pane) and then hit escape prior to committing edit. A non-seletctable solid is created. Save and reopen to make new object selectable. I too often create these types of objects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setz Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 In addition to the above, If you make a cube, Reshape and change the direction mid-edit, commit the edit with a click , an then Undo the operation, a new non selectable object is created as well.

Tech Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 We were able to reproduce this problem, thanks for the report, we will get this corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZTEK Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I also confirm it and I think it happens since version 7. It's not very frequent but it's pretty annoying. My temporal workaround, to not save, close and reopen to delete, is select all and isolate to hide temporary these unselectable objects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¢hris £und Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I think I have reported such behavior. Where I have to restart the app to make it selectable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibui Design Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Have definitely experienced the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archigraphica Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 I wrote this then got busy and forgot to check back. Guess it's not just me. Glad to head someone has figured out a process to replicate the (minor) problem. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Gentlemen, Thanks for the notes that you have seen this before, and especially thanks to Setz for submitting a report as to how to make this happen, since this is exactly the info we need to be able to identify and fix it...

archigraphica Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Good deal. Since you can reproduce it we can finally get it fixed. Let me throw another issue in that would be great to have fixed in the next patch: I'm going to email you a zip file. This has also been happening since 7. And since it happened again today now's a good time to bring it up again. When exporting to 3DS (and other formats) smooth geometry is not always exported in the file. I have to select everything in FormZ, convert it to faceted/plain geometry and then export it. And yes, I've reported this before. In the zip file I will include the original FMZ file, an exported file missing the smooth geometry and a converted model that includes all the geometry. thanks!

Tech Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Hi Archigraphica, Well, if you have reported something before, you don't need to report it again, but it is good to make sure we have an example where this occurs, so please send it and we will check it out. (Note that we should only need a file with the smooth object(s) that are not working to test it here...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archigraphica Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 Well, if it hasn't been fixed in multiple versions it does need reported again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
