Curves change colour and become “ghosts”, and are unusable, uneditable, cannot be highlighted

Hello - are they very far from the world origin?

-Pascal

Hi Pascal,

This is a small model, around 100mm in size, so quite close to the origin.
I would appreciate your help as this is not the first time this has happened.

thank you

Lynton

Hi Lynton - please post the model, or send to tech@mcneel.com and someone will have a look.

…and the object and layer aren’t locked?

Hi @Lynt

Could it be that “history” and “lock children” is on? Shooting in the dark here - post a file, and I’m sure someone will figure it out :+1:

-Jakob

Hi Brenda,

Thank you for replying, no the layer neither the children are locked

Thank you Pascal,
I will send you the file when I am infront of my PC

Hi Pascal,

Here is a link to the file…

Please let me know if you need anything else.

Thank you,

Lynton

Hi Lynt - the objects are locked - use the Unlock command, or UnlockSelected.

-Pascal

Hi Pascal,

Thank you, that helped.The thing is that I did not purposely lock them, it seems to happen of it own accord.

It also doesn’t show them as locked in the layer window.

Do you perhaps have any suggestions for me on this issue?

If you find a reliable way of making this happen, please inform us of the necessary steps that are involved.

The layer panel only shows the status of the layer, not of individual objects.
