I tried the option and restarted, but it did not work. I did try my desktop rather than my laptop, and the desktop did not have the issue. So I am assuming it is some sort of grpahics card/driver issue with my Dell laptop. (Mobile Intel 945GM Express graphics) Thanks for all the help.

Here is the file. Try to push the 2x4 back to the only refrence line. I labeled it with the dimension.

push/pull problem

Yes, my problem is happening after I "Edit Component". I can move the mouse between the faces, the poke-e-dots will display on the "2" face or the "4" face of the 2x4, but not the end face. If I hold the mouse down and move, the tool will have selected one of the other faces. (The one that was behind it from the perpective I was using.)

I am trying to design a treehouse for the kids, and am running into strange issue with the push/pull tool. I have lots of framing components in the drawing, 2x4's, 4x4 etc. Sometimes when I am making a new length, I can't select the end face of a 2x4 for push/pull. It seems to select the "other" faces, even though I am on the end face. I have tried selecting from different angles with no luck. The only think that always works is to orbit around so I am inside the component looking out the end of the 2x4. Then I can select the end face and move it. Is there a selection trick I don't know about?
