Hi Dave, Was dragged into other territoties and had to get off this project for a bit. Thanks for your response. Responding to your question, "So you want to select only the edges in the model or at least within a selected region? You could select all of the geometry including the faces"? : Ideally what I was looking to do was select (in the example image) only the line [and all its connected segments] between the hand-drawn blue endpoints/arrows. I probably should have colored that entire length. This section of line (essentially 4 connected arcs in this case) is co-planar with all the other visible elements. So I don't believe its not categorized a true "edge"; its a kind of "island edge" submerged within the larger face. The select/deselect method is one that I often use (or version of that toggling between face/wireframe visibility) - but in this case the trick is selecting just that area without selecting other edges (which would also then remain selected). If I were to do that a be left with multiple, connected edges, I'd either still need to manually, individually deselect segments (if the curves were 'broken'), or arcs (if they were true welded arcs). For some reason, 2x-clicking to remove the unneeded lines/edges as entire connected lines was not working - and 3x-clicking was reselecting the faces. Thx

@orbital said: (...I might have not understood the issue properly or repeated what someone else has said ) Yeah. What you report is true and has been reported as a bug. Not the original issue here, though. This issue has more to do with padding around the text affecting the size of the dimension text box. Reducing the font size or using leaders eliminates the problem and in most cases probably makes the dimension easier to understand.

Hi, Thanks for responding. Funny, I've never had this happen to an entire viewport before though. I already tried you second suggestion to no success. I will try the first Whats curious is how it didn't do the same for the same conditions on a different view. Same components, just different cut. I'll also try maneuvering the section in-question.

dcauldwell - no, that's not the point of his question... i would also blame the GI settings (either the LC subdivs or the irradiance map sample settings), could you post a screenshot of those two?

I've also noticed this problem and find it a bit frustrating. I like to use Scene Tabs at the earlier stages in my project (when the number of scenes I've got fit nicely across the top of my screen (I work on a laptop). At a later stage in my project I've got too many scenes to fit across the top of my screen nicely (I do an interior view of every room as well as the usual plans, sections and elevations), so I'd rather use the Scenes Manager and switch off the (by now messy) scene tabs. It would be nice if this setting could be saved with the file, but, as we've seen, they come back every time the file is opened again. Not the end of the world, but maybe could be 'fixed' in a future update. Thanks for the shortcut key suggestion. Good workaround.
