Selection in VP2 doesn't work anymore in rawfootPrintNode, our plugin also fails

[Anonymous]

Our plugin uses similar approach as rawfootPrintNode sample to draw in VP2. Up until Maya 2016, everything works perfectly in VP2, including selection. However, starting from Maya 2016.5 (Maya 2017 included), we noticed that selection in VP2 doesn't work anymore. rawfootPrintNode sample also exhibits the same issue - in VP2, you can only drag a rectangle in the center of the object to select it, whereas before Maya 2016.5 you can select as long as the selection box touches any part of the object. Any thoughts?

Hi,

In case of selection in VP2.0, Autodesk Maya moved to hardware selection in Maya 2016 Extension 2. Please check this link for porting selection from VP1 to VP2. If you still wants to use the VP1 selection, that is still possible. You can use MAYA_VP2_USE_VP1_SELECTION=1 environment variable (make sure that you are in VP1 mode or VP2 non-core profile mode).

Thanks,
