I looked at your file. It worked perfectly in Max 2019. I don't have 2016 anymore. 

 

I took your file and tested it by isolating various objects and found no problems. I was thinking it might be a 'Group' issue or something. So, I 'ungrouped' everything and resaved it back to Max 2016. 

 

Open this file and see if resaving it solves your problem.

Edit: This is also something I do now and then when a file acts strange, open a new Max file with the same scale settings. Then 'Merge' the entire problematic file into this new file and save it. I've had this solve many odd issues in the past.

Hi, thanks for help,it's wried,I tested the file you sent me,in 2019 it works fine,but,I still cannot isolate some objects in 2016,I am not sure if it is a bug of 3ds max 2016,as you can see below:

Is there a reason you are working in Max 2016? You said you tested it in Max 2019 and it was fine. Why not work in Max 2019. 

 

Aside from that, maybe it is a bug in Max 2016, I can't say. I'm afraid I have nothing else to offer. 

 

Maybe one of the Autodesk Monitors or Guru's will pick this up and help you. I'm not a software engineer so I'm out of ideas for you.
