Hover over objects

[Anonymous]

Over the past couple days in a particular Revit project, when I hover over any part of an object it highlights the object. It seems to me that prior to this I only had to hover over the objects edge to be able to select it. The latter is much more convienent, allowing me to draw selection boxes wothout dragging an object along with me. Does anyone have any idea how to change hover options to only highlight an oject when on the objects edges? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Maybe activated select by face (bottom right of your screen)?

Yes! That was it. I knew it had to something simple that I was missing. Thank you for your help!

Relevent note: Right next to the Select Elements by Face toggle button is the Drag Elements on Selection toggle button. That would solve the problem you described while as well, while still allowing you to select things without having to go to the edges.

If you're like me, that isn't the desirable configuration, but I though I would put it out there.
