There are probably some criteria set that is making it impossible for you to select the object… that’s what that message means. 2 Quote Link to comment
0 diskoper Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Hi. I have the same problem. And I have tried to configure the tool. "I have tried all the options 🤪". Don´t know how to make it work again! Is there a "reset to default" somewhere? Did you solve the problem @Patterson Company? /per Quote Link to comment

I tried all the options at once.. release most of the options and just selected "object type" and it works as I want it to do. Was pretty sure I´d already tried that! And, the option "symbol name" doesn´t work on Light Instruments, or stage decks generated by Spotlight. /per Edited September 8, 2022 by diskoper Quote Link to comment

0 unearthed Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Sometimes (across several operations including Booleans) I get errors like this and it's because I'm in a rotated view - it should matter but going to normal view solves it. Quote Link to comment
