Point Picking problem

Post by Steve L~ »

When using the measure angle tool I have real difficulty in getting points (always seems to be the second and third ones) to be picked, often taking several hundred clicks on a point for it be selected. Pretty sure my hand is stable ;)

Could it be related to having to pick 'through' a primitive cylinder that I have set to wireframe display? Because without it there point picking is OK. I need it visible though as I'm using it's vertexes as a picking guide.

Indeed, I think the fact that the primitive (mesh) is displayed as a wireframe is not taken into account in the CPU based picking process!

I guess this is something we should fix.

Ok this is fixed in the latest beta version (the wireframe meshes are now ignored by the CPU-based picking process).
