I had to select the edges shown below on all of the feet of my model in order to give them a 0.1'' fillet, but for some reason they were VERY difficult to select.



It didn't matter if I had hidden lines displayed or not, my ability to select the edges that I needed seemed very finicky and dependent on my view angle and zoom, as well as mouse position. I tried it in V1 and there was the same problem, although it might have been slightly less so. I've since changed my design to no longer include the feet, but I still attached the file to see if you can reproduce the problem. Thanks.

Of course yes if your are in "3D view" as "front view" some edges are behind themselves ;)

Ps Why not compress the file linked. More speedy for everyone and win some place on the server :)

Hi LOTRJ, thanks for reporting the bug!

I can't seem to repeat the problem over here - this combined with your description makes it pretty likely that this is a video card dependent problem.

MoI relies on your video card to draw some lines into an off-screen buffer as part of the selection process, and if your video card does not do a good job of line drawing, like if it stipples the line and leaves out pixels, etc... then it can have a negative impact on selection and behave just as you describe.

Can you please tell me which kind of video card you have on your machine?

Also, has it been a long time since you have updated the video driver on your machine? If so then you may be able to resolve this problem by updating to the latest video drivers.

Hi LOTRJ, also one other thing to check about the video driver - some drivers may interfere with MoI's selection process if you have set anti-aliasing to always be on directly in the driver settings.

If you have done that you may need to turn that off in the driver settings.

I actually do have video driver anti-aliasing on, I can't turn it off because the Nvidia control panel has been acting wonky.

There is a new driver though, I'll update and see if the problem is fixed once I turn off forced AA.

I have a GeForce 8600 GT

Also-----Have any of you updated to the new version of Norton just now?

Hoping my guru will be able to fix some oddities that seem to be happening in various places.
