3ds max 2012 - must click wireframe to select object?
polycounter lvl 13
I feel like I must have stumbled onto one of the landmine-like hotkeys Max has, like X killing gizmos.
In order to select an object, I must click where the wireframe is, even if I'm not in wireframe mode - if I click a flat polygon in the center of it, it will select nothing, and I must click the edge.
Since I obviously don't work in wireframe mode all the time, this is adding a lot of headaches.
Any idea as to how I fix this? the help documentation has a lot of stuff about selection tools but this is something I can't find in my preferences anywhere.

in shaded /realistic / and other modes except wireframe(as its supposes to behave).
rare issue,(considering that you didn't get any answers either..)
maybe check your drivers, or anything non-3dsmax like plugins, etc.
Nitrous is also very incomplete anyway..
