I was running into a weird situation where I couldn’t select the clipping plane. First I couldn’t figure out what kind of object the clipping plane was so I was just trying to turn on everyting one by one and trying to select the clipping plane. It seems like Rhino now disables the selection filter every 4th time you try to select something you cannot select. My questions:
Is the automatic disabling of the selection filter expected behaviour?
Is there a reason why is there nothing in the selection filter to only select clipping planes? I’d expect anything that can be an object in the rhino environment would be able to be filtered.
Note in passing there is the native command SelClippingPlane…
Designed behavior - yes. Expected behavior - well, people will have different opinions I guess. I personally think this is a dumb thing, I hate when software makes decisions based on what it thinks I want to do. It’s akin to Windows when you press some combination of Ctrl+Shift too many times, it asks you if you need impaired keyboard assistance. At least it asks first…
I guess Clipping planes are covered in the “Others” category in the selection filter. Below is a scriptlet that will allow you to pick/select only clipping planes if it helps.
I don’t see the “Others” category in the selection filter? Have a look at what I see on the video
Edit: It seems like “Others” was there in Rhino 7 but not in Rhino 8 anymore. I was wondering why this felt so weird that I run into this problem for the first time.
Possibly. This box is a bit weird - for example I have mine docked next to the command line and it shows me the little >> to indicate there is something not shown, but all the boxes are indeed visible…
Is that rhino 8?
