Can't select objects in viewport

Anonymous

I able unable to select any objects in the viewport. I've spent quite a while researching this problem and the regular reasons why this happens aren't the case for me... It only locks for one project file. If i create a new one everything works fine. It happened to me right after accidentally entering the wrong hot key. So what ever it is it's activated by a hotkey. I can create a new object but I can't move it or anything except modify it. Any idea's what It could be?

Hi,

 

Maybe you hit the space bar at some point? This is the selection lock toggle - check the padlock icon in the bottom toolbar.

Hope this helps! 🙂

Maybe, the problem is that you have a selection filter. With these filter you can select only geometry, lights, cameras, or custom combos of these. You can see this option on the main toolbar.
