Unable to select room separators in plan view by selection via window

[liMVT68]

Hi Revit users! Not sure this has happened to me before, but suddenly unable to select room separators (a group of them) all at once in floor plan view. I can definitely see them, but if i click and drag a window over them, they will not select. I am able to select them one by one, but would love to have any input to see whether anyone has encountered this and is able to help? This is in Revit 2022. Thank you!

Crossing-window selection?  Lower right to upper left?

Are you in a Design option?

[liMVT68]

yes, both window drag selection does not work. 

[liMVT68]

yes, but even if i uncheck "active only" i am unable to select them. i can select them one by one easily.

Pinned with Select Pinned Elements unchecked?

Did you set the Design Option to active?

Can you show the bottom screen prior to selecting the lines?

[liMVT68]

not pinned either. i have not had issues like this in the past.

here is the screen shot of the bottom

Are they in a workset that is not editable?  

[liMVT68]

just checked, the workset they are in are editable.

Your Main Model is still active.  Change it to the actual Design Option you want to edit then see if it helps.

They are not inside a group, are they?  Does that happen for everyone or just one person?  Maybe restart Revit.

Lower your View Range Bottom Plane.

everyone, unfortunately, but in another colleagues project, in 2022, it works, so I'm thinking it's some setting I have missed.

Check the bottom of your primary view range.  It should be at or lower than the lines.

[liMVT68]

that was it!! thank you!! apparently the view range was set up a couple of inches! thank you, everyone!

[barthbradley]

Yep, that's exactly what I suggested above.
