Select tool showing green area larger than what is actually going to be selected

Anonymous — Mon, 17 Jun 2019 22:19:57 GMT

Hi there,

It's been awhile since upgrading Meshmixer. On the latest version, when I have the brush/paint mode of the tool selected and I hover my mouse over the object, I have a flourescent green selection area. That would be fine, but what ends up getting selected when I click with my mouse is smaller than the green selection area. Is there a setting to turn this off that anyone knows of?

I'm not entirely sure how I fixed it, but it may have been view menu then transparent target. All good now.

I also had this problem.

The only thing that helped me was removing MM along with the libraries installed in the Documents section on drive C.
After rebooting the computer, everything was restored.

I know this is an old post but I just developed this problem on a new install of MM and found that turning off "Show Printer Bed" gets rid of the green highlights.
