How to enable selecting another object ?

[Frank1100]

i'm not finding out how to enable 3ds to select another object. the select functions are grayed out. probably i'm in a function and don't see it.

How does this work ?

What tool do you have selected? Did you press 'spacebar' and lock the selection by mistake?

Hi Dara, probably yes. 

thx for tip

Has anyone else (in max 2015) noticed a problem with selection using the auto crossing options ? As far as i can see its broken (i.e. when i choose auto crossing based on left to right or right to left - "everything" gets selected when there is a crossing (it can no longer make the distinction).

Yes - see this thread, and please don't post unrelated questions in threads on an entirely different subject - better to search for existing threads or create a new one.

Hi Steve, i did'nt get what you meant with the linked page or if it was posted by accident ?

[Steve_Curley]

I replied to the post immediately above mine, not to you (the thread question). If you look at the top of my post it says "in reply to leochester", so no it wasn't relevent to the thread, but neither was it accidental 😉
