Areas selected for extrusion don't turn blue

Good morning everyone.

 

Since the last upgrade, whenever I try to extrude a new body or modify an existing one, the selected areas of the sketch don't turn blue as they did before, even if I see that they are being counted. I can get an idea of what part are being extruded only if I then select an height for the extrusion.

 

Can someone help me solve this problem?

 

Thank you

Hi,

construction lines do not form profile contours.
Change them to solid lines
1. via sketch palette
2. select + shortcut x

thank you for your answer but that's not the case. there is a construction line close to the the line that closes the area.

 

As you can see, it does not turn blue not even with a simple closed square

Hi,

1. change graphic driver selection > open GL ?

2. update graphic drivers

 

3. please share the file and mark the profile to extrude in a screenshot

 

File > export > save as f3d on local drive > attach to post

Thank you very much, changing the graphics driver to OPENGL solved the problem and selected areas are now turning blue again.

Just a side note, the openGL solution worked on a pc with a graphics card in it, instead it freezes my notebook that only has intergrated graphics.

 

I've also tried DX9 but i had the same problem with it, not seeing the selected parts turbing blue
