Odd selection artifact. Seen often.

Hey guys.

Any idea what may be causing this odd selection?

I have seen this several times in different models.

A rather unhelpful bug that crept in earlier this year. I've got a part I helped someone on the forum with that worked perfectly in January now it will not generate at all. There have been quite a few post on it but they never seem to get much interest from support.Smiley Mad

 

Here's a pic showing it used to work.

Here's what the selection looks like now, should be just the surfaces at the bottom of each letter!

Generate gets stuck a 9% and never finishes.

For closed pockets you can work around it by selecting edges or by using a sketch but this doesn't work very well with open pockets.

Here's another thread with the same problem, the only easy workaround was to use a 3d op instead.

 

From that file, you can see the face selecting is all over the place, some open some closed some selecting the wrong side.

It is odd behavior and should not be tolerated. 😉

 

Actually the operation generated and simulated fine for these parts. At least in this instance, my glitch was only graphics. 

I did another clean redraw and the same thing happened, but in a different spot. It's only ever happened with one instance in an operation for me though. Not multiple times like you are showing.

Please understand Support can only report things like this to the developers, sorry we can’t fix them.
