One transparent block makes all blocks non-selectable in 3D view
This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.
One problem with the new feature of independently changing view properties on multiblock data sets is that if you make one block transparent, the entire data set becomes inaccessible to right clicks and selections in the 3D view. Generally we have disabled 3D view selection of transparent objects, but you should still be able to select the opaque parts of a multiblock data set.
To replicate, do the following:
- Open can.ex2. Apply.
- Change the view to see both the brick and the can.
- Right click on the brick. In the pop-up window, select Set Block Opacity.
- Change the opacity to something lower than 1 (e.g. 0.5).
- Right click on the can. You don't get the pop-up menu for that object/block.
- Try to do a select cells on surface anywhere on the can. You cannot do so.
