      Help!

      I have been building a fairly large and complex model. When I opened it today I found that I coundn't select a number of the part of the model apart from by a selection box (i.e. I can't select a line by clicking on it) nor can I snap onto any part of these identities. Anybody got any idea want has happened or how I can fix it?

      I was experimenting with styles the last time I used the model. Could this be a factor?

      Thanks in anticipation.

      Jon

        Hi Jon, hi folks.

        Maybe you made a group or a component with you whole model.

        Maybe you imported your model instead of opening it and it came in as a component.

        When you click on a part of the model, do you see a large bounding box instead of the highlite of only the selected part ?

        If not, can you post the model here ?

        Just ideas.

          Thanks for that.

          It definately not a group or component problem. Further work seems to suggest that I can only select the item at the back of the view I am working in (which is not at all helpful).
