new pc, installing 8.3.30, select not working?

They won't fix it.


Unfortunately the integrated Intel graphic card is not very good for 3D work.



This may help with the antialias:

I'll look into it on monday when I get back to work, but most of that looks like its grasping at straws. Meanwhile why would the select work with "select-through" turned on and not when select through is turn off?

We use AC3D for a lot of stuff at work, I really want to see it work properly on the small computers we are going to be putting out in the field.

When select-through is off, it is reading data back from the graphics data buffer. If antialias is on, this data is not the same as what was originally drawn. Intel drivers are not very fast but usually do work. It does sound like anti-alias or something similar is switched on. Perhaps check for any updated graphics drivers or related software.

I did that, and I was able to tag AC3D as a program with special settings including turning the anti-aliasing off (it had a setting.) Nothing changed when I changed those settings. Same result with the AC3D 9 software.

So now I have a brand new dell inspiron 16 with a nividia card running windows 11 pro, and its the same issue what is going on? If I use the vertex button, and the select through is off It won't select any of the vertex'.
