Selecting individual objects in AutoDesk Viewer

I've been using AutoDesk Viewer (free online version) for a while now and recently found I can no longer select an object in a model then isolate it or hide it. When I select an object now and right click, it only gives me two options, 1. Show all objects, 2. Pivot. Has anyone else experienced this? I can still isolate or hide the object from the model tree but that takes much longer. I appreciate the input.

Is it a block or xref?

Do you mean this website https://viewer.autodesk.com/
if yes, you've never been able to select anything AFAIK.

Perhaps you used to use this instead https://web.autocad.com/
And you still can select nd do what you want with modelspace content. It's not free and acts like a viewer when your trial runs out.

I'm not positive but I suspect it is Block. I received the Stp file which originally designed in SolidWorks.

Yes, I'm using this https://viewer.autodesk.com/<>. I think I've figured out my issue. It's a sequence of left clicks and right clicks from my mouse that gives me what I was looking for. Thanks for your input. I appreciate it!

To select individual objects in AutoDesk Viewer, use the selection tool from the toolbar, then click on the specific object you want to highlight. You can also filter by object type or layer for more precise selection.
