markdd Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 When I convert an object to generic solids, some convert so that on selection they are highlighted along their geometry. Pic 1 Some are converted so that they highlight in a 3d cube (like a group does). Pic 2 Is this intentional, if so what is the distinction? It's been puzzling me for a while now. Thanks in advance.

0 zoomer Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I want to know that too. I often have those strange Solids that contain multiple independent Solids. Whenever I saw ones with bounding boxes, I thought that would be a sign that soemthing is wrong with geometry. Not 100% sure but I thought these will also be selected already when you only touch the bounding box without any geometry near. (Or was this some Meshes only ?) Quote Link to comment

The reasoning behind its current behavior is technologically sound (it avoids incredibly bad performance problems) but not something we want to continue. The end development goal is for all highlighting to be along the geometry and do away with the highlighted bounding boxes in 3D. Quote Link to comment

Thanks in advance.
