Selecting UV's, vertices, edges, faces or shells not possible in UV editor. No problem selecting these entities in the model.

Hi @Anonymous

Thanks for posting! Have you tried Resetting your Preferences? This is a great place to start when Maya starts acting funky.

I found another post that indicated the issue was with the mesh. Their solution was to optimize the scene and remap: Can't Select Edges in UV Editor

This post suggested toggling the camera-based selection on/off: UV shells grayed out cannot do anything

Please let me know if those suggestions resolved the issue 🙂 If the problem persists I would be happy to continue assisting you until we figure it out!

Hi Jordan,

The problem is now solved although partially. I reset the preferences as you suggested but it didn't seem to be enough. So as you said, I went to the other thread and did as another advisor suggested: to freeze transformations of each geometry piece, but this needed to be done getting the pieces out of the group that had the problem, and then getting them again inside its group. Unfortunately, this needs to be done every single time working with some models. Perhaps the geometry is somehow corrupted.
