Big problem: Can't select valves!

I did some spec changes to existing items in my project (valves and flowmeters).

I saved my spec and returend to Plant 3d and ran the command Plantspecupdatecheck.

 

The effected items was updated but now I cant select them. They are visible but are totaly dead.

As I can't select them I can not do anything to them. The valves are listed in data manager but even selecting the item there does not select the valve as it usually does.

 

Same things happen when I add a new valve from a spec. I can place it correctly in the model but after that it's dead.

 

 

I have tried creating a new project but it's still the same.

I need to find a solution to this problem FAST!

I have now narrowed down the problem to "2d Wire Frame" mode.

Using realistic display mode the valves can be selected.

 

Not that this does not effect all valves in my model. Most still works as usuall.

I've just had the same issue with flow meters. Thanks for your solution. Everything I do is in 2D wireframe so I can see what's going on. I don't think I would have thought to change to 'realistic' shading to be able to select something.

 

Thanks,

Dave
