3D selection problem SW2013

3D Design Volume Model
1

Hello everyone,

 

I have a big problem on Solidworks, sometimes I can't select certain parts with the mouse, as if there were no part displayed.

 

Has anyone ever had this problem on SW2013?

 

It's a big problem to add constraints....

Can you send us a picture?

 

I will lean towards a problem of transparency but to see....

Hello

 

It sometimes happens because of a graphic problem.

 

Are the drivers up to date?

Does a CTRL+Q (rebuild all) or a 3D movement (with the mouse wheel) solve the problem?

I had exactly the same problem with a non-certified graphics card

so as said + above see the appropriate driver on SW

Hello

 

Transparency problem? I was going to say it, I have exactly this problem on folded parts, I want to display them in transparency, but nothing to do they remain opaque....

 

I have an nVidia Quadro 4000, I'll try to meter the drivers up to date and I'll keep you informed;)

 

Thank you for your answers.

Do not take the latest update of your graphics card but the one recommended by SolidWorks by following the link of @Lucas.

 

There is a very special case where you can't select the part, or even you can't see it, and that's when you move a part from one assembly to a sub-assembly or from one sub-assembly to another. In this case, you have to open the subassembly that has just received the part and press Ctrl+Q.

All appearances must be removed and the selection works again.
