Can not select through decal even when visibility turned of

Henrik_Horlin — Fri, 29 Apr 2022 11:21:35 GMT

If a decal is applied to a surface to a body it will always be selected first even if the body it has been applied to is hidden. It is only when hiding (turn visibility eye off) the decal group in the tree one can select through/behind it. It does not work if the individual decal has visibility turned off.

I have tried turning decals off in the selection filter, no go.

"Select through" on/off does nothing in either case.

I expect the behavior that I can only select geometry in the main window that I can see. If I want to make it visible again I can do that in the tree on the left.

Take a look at the Screencast. With all selection filters on, you should be able to hold down your left mouse button to get the selection list for everything below the cursor. If this does not work, please attach a Screencast showing your process.

Thank you for your help, but none of supplied soliutions adresses the issue.

If a body is hidden with a decal assigned to it (this means that the decal itself is also hidden), the decal will still always be "in the way" of selecting anything behind it. Yes I can left click and choose another element and yes I can hide all decals but that should not be nessessary for a hidden object regardless of type.

It could be my perticular combination of graphic drivers (always up to gate (GeForce 1060)) and/or other hardware config but I have experienced other graphic bugs such as left clicking on the last active sketch does not allow me to edit it again (some menu items appear but not all) but another sketch works fine, sometimes the context menu does not show up at all for any sketch and the last one I was working on har a blue square around it in the timeline (sometimes several items has this behaviour). Sometimes some bodies will stay blue (like selected) and not revert to normal unless I close the file and open it again, recalculate does nothing.

I've been using Fusion for many years now so I'm familiar with most functionalities like left clicking and such.
