When using a polysurface in a Boolean difference set, there is a phenomenon that the polysurface is selected as a surface instead of being selected as a polysurface.
sub-object is unchecked.
can you record the screen showing this behavior , and send a file to tech@mcneel.com that demonstrates this? I cannot repeat it here.
I use screen to gif to record lightweight videos-
Could you be confusing a surface with multipe spans and a polysurface?
Looks like you are selecting with Ctrl+Shift+Mouseclick…
I only used one left mouse click. I didn’t use the keyboard at all to select the object.
I’m not a fool to the point where I can’t tell between normal clicks and keyboard+clicks.
I have been using Rhino for more than 10 years. Not even a beginner.
Video is attached.
Since the file used in the video is also attached, zoom in similar to the video in the perspective view and follow the difference boolean in the same way.
I used only one left click without using a keyboard.
However, it works like using ctrl+shift+left click as in the video.

Which release of Rhino are you running? There were some selection issues in the initial release (post WIP) which have been fixed. Maybe your problem is related to that. I’m running 7.3.21026.13001, 26/01/2021 and cannot reproduce your issue.

Looks like the posted file was created with IRhinoceros 7.3 - Commercial, build 2021-01-26 - (compiled Jan 26 2021)

CTRL + A /// command _What, you see it ?
Grouped and joined. (Your first screenshot shows it)
Run command _ungroup and all works fine

Hi @eddi,
Are you able to reproduce the error if you don’t ungroup first? Because so far it ‘all works fine’ here without needing to ungroup…
Hi Jeremy,
yes, I can, RH_7.3.2
That’s interesting, I wonder what the difference is?
But exact so,
- Open file
- Maximize View Perspective
- Zoom in, Bug occurs, zoom out Bug not occurs
- Run command _BooleanDifference
and see

OK, I can reproduce it too now. But it seems to depend on where you first click on the subtraction surface. And then it seems to start happening almost every time after you have done it once if you cancel the difference and repeat.
And it is only happening when the group is in place. Good catch @eddi ! Bug confirmed and workaround found in one hit.

This is the latest candidate release.
And whether you combine in a group state, the bug is correct, so please fix
This didn’t happen with the much older Rhino 5.
The ctrl+a shortcut is
I am using it by switching to object snap on/off. I have been using it like this from the days of rhino4 until now.
And thank you for the continued help
@pascal FYI, just to bring this back to McNeel - this is a reproducible bug in the latest SRC
