Hiya
I'm doing the scifi ship tutorial by Stephen Wells on 3dMotive.
I'm on the cockpit section which is basically Volume 1 at the start around 3 videos in.
I built up the cockpit shape (pPlane4) and as directed in the tutorial, duplicated the shell using CTRL + D.
This wasn't a -1 negative scale copy across the Y axis, just a straight duplication. Tutorial then mentions renaming renaming 'pPlane4' to 'hull' and then hiding it. The remaining copy (pPlane5) is unselectable for me. I can select it in the outliner and after that can change to object, face, edge or vertex mode but still cant select anything. So basically cannot select it with the mouse nor can i select it via 'drawing' a selection box around it. It can only be selected via outliner. If i unhide the original (called 'hull'), that one is fine and can be selected with the left mouse button. it's very strange. This is not an 'instance' of the original nor did i use duplicate special, just a simple CTRL + D duplicate.
Ive reset the tools, I've deleted prefs, reloaded the scene file, deleted history etc (although might still be an issue with these in my frustration)
In the earlier iteration of the shape, it's seems okay so what have I done to disable this selection function at this stage ? Soft selection isn't ticked either. When i put a selection box around both objects, only the original will then be selected. I'm not accidently selecting the image planes either as they are locked. Very strange and frustrating as most answers can be found by googling etc but this one escapes me and my search efforts.
