Hi Daniel!

It seems there's a bug with CC present on 2.12.4 and also in 2.13.alpha. When I load an OBJ, I cant select the "main" mesh no problem, but then I cannot interact with its sub-meshes. If I click on a sub-mesh, only the "main" one is selected. If I toggle the visibility of sub-meshes, nothing happens. I can even delete all the sub-meshes and the main object is still intact.

Meanwhile a friend using CC on his Linux machine has no problem interacting with this sub-meshes, like hiding them or deleting them.

This is an OBJ made out from an IFC model.

Anything that can be done? Many thanks!

Can you share a file with me maybe? (to admin[at]cloudcompare.org)

Hi Daniel, email sent. Thanks!

For anyone finding this thread, Daniel replied to me with the solution (in the end it wasn't a Windows/Linux problem)

So the issue seems to be simply that the top level entity is 'visible', so whatever change you apply to the children (sub-meshes), you won't see any change on the screen.You should simply 'hide' the top-level mesh entity.

Many thanks Daniel!
