Sel Layer command selects wrong layer

petumatr · November 12, 2019, 3:41pm

Hi,
when I execute the SelLayer command (everywhere where this one is part of another one fe. copy obj to layer etc.) and choose option _Pick, it selects the wrong layer.

Hi John,
sure:

1_sellayer command 2_Pick 3_ select green box 4_layer 3 (blue) is selected

This works as expected here in our latest (6.21) at least - green box is selected. What version are you running?

aha, ok, I am running 6.19 here. so I will update then but 6.19 is still the latest proper RC right? Newer are candidates right now…

John_Brock · November 12, 2019, 6:11pm

Right.
6.19 is the current released build.
6.20 is the current Service Release Candidate.
6.21 is the in-house development build.

6.19 also works here… does the problem occur for you if you open the file that you posted, in a fresh Rhino? I’m wondering if there is not some state that it gets into that goes away when closed and reopened.

hmm…interesting, I am not able to reproduce it after restarting pc and fresh rhino session.

HI @pascal
Got it! It occurred again now, I think it has something to do with sublayers. It works for layers on the same hierarchy level, but I experience weird results when trying to match sublayers. See the picture! Are you able to reproduce it?

Hi! Again, I am experiencing this odd behaviour when selecting layers by Picking…I am attaching the file I work in with quite elaborate layer system. Check if you can reproduce it! sel_layers bug.3dm.zip (2.7 MB)

run SelLayer command
choose Pick…
select one of a few rectangles
selected layer does not match - wrong one is highlighted (here at least)

will be glad for any input @wim, @pascal, @dan

Running Version 6 (6.24.20070.23252, 2020-03-10)

I’ll take a look, thanks for the file.
@petumatr - I see the problem here as well.
