Selection Tolerance

[Anonymous]

Hey there people,

Maya recently decided it would make selecting edges and vertex's harder. About 2 weeks ago I used to be able to select near an edge/vertex and it would select it fine. Suddenly this changed and now I have to be within 1 pixel of what I want to select to get it done. This is slowing me down and frustrating me.

Is there an area that specifies the selection tolerances where I can adjust this back to a more workable setting? I don't really want to do the whole 'reset prefs' thing for the 50th time this year because some of my custom key bindings are always a real pain to reassign as they are impossible to find in the hotkey editor.

Thanks for any help in advance. 🙂

Hi!

A) Preferences -> Selection

B)  Try a reset of your preferences.
Rename the folder prefs in folder 2018 to something like prefs_backup, or to reset everything, the folder 2018 to 2018_backup (or even the maya folder to maya_backup). Maya creates new folders (don't copy preferences from previous Maya versions). Detailed at:

Your hotkeys are in prefs\hotkeys, just re-apply them after resetting prefs
