Selection tool

[DougM]

In Cross section view, I need to draw a few polyline solids. after editing a few, and down to the last one, I'm unable to select it. I was able to select it once and changed the line lengt. when I tried to change the oppisite side. I couldn't select it. Iv been tried everything. NO LAYERS ARE LOCKED.
Any ideas why I'm not able to select it ??

Thanks,
Doug

I'm sure others will have a better answer, but sometimes it is just
**** near impossible to select some things. I zoom in, I click all over, I select something near it and then use the tab or "select next" and sometimes it just won't select. Very frustrating.

Putting things nearby on separate layers and turning off those layers helps (sometimes).

It would be nice if we could draw a select marquee and be able to "select next" (or tab) rotate thru ALL objects within that marquee.

For some objects it helps to get into that "mode" by selecting the tool first. For example, click on the wall icon, and then try selecting walls and Chief makes selecting walls easier. Maybe, you were in a different "mode". I still don't have a good handle on getting and staying in the right "mode".

for some objects it seems that you have to click on an edge to select it, and for others it seems like you have to click on the object "middle".
Not really sure about all that, except it can be "fun" (read frustrating).
