Single click on to pick out? – SketchUp

I simply loaded Professional onto a brand new pc and this system is requiring me to click on an entity twice to pick out it.

Is that this a setting inside the program or ought to I be taking a look at my mouse settings?

Usually a single left click on is used to pick out a single entity. A double left click on on an will choose a face and it’s bounding edges. Double click on with additionally open a element or group for modifying. Triple left click on selects all hooked up geometry. Do you’ve entry to a different mouse to see if it’s the mouse that’s failing?

Choose Instrument – by ‘click on’.
One click on selects the item under the cursor – be it face, edge, curve, container [group/component/image], textual content, dim and so forth.
Two clicks – if the item is a face it selects that face AND its edges; if it’s an edge it selects all faces hooked up to that edge; if it’s a bunch/element and so forth then it opens it for modifying.
Three clicks – if the item is a face or an edge then it selects ALL linked geometry [edges AND faces]; if it’s a container – group/element and so forth – then it opens and selects all geometry linked to that half under the preliminary cursor-click [i.e. as if you had edited the container with a double-click and then treble-clicked on the face afterwards]

Choose Instrument by ‘fence’ – drag the corners proper>left to pick out every thing contained in the fence; or left>proper to pick out solely every thing that’s totally inside the fence [overlaps are ignored]

So as to add to a variety maintain Ctrl and choose, to take away from a variety maintain Ctrl+Shift and choose, to toggle choice maintain Shift and choose…

One click on just isn’t doing something.

I’ve to click on twice to pick out any object.

I attempted one other mouse and the contact pad and its the identical problem.

It’s nearly like this system response is one click on behind what I’m attempting to do.

Since this doesn’t occur to SketchUp on any pc I’ve seen, I’d strongly suspect some side of system or mouse configuration in your new pc. You’ve tried one other mouse and it additionally impacts the touchpad, in order that would chop it all the way down to a system setting that impacts all cursor-control (mouse-like) units.

Your profile doesn’t say what model of Home windows you’ve on the brand new pc. I’m on a Mac, however with that added data one of many Home windows gurus might be able to assist you.

Should you do what it takes to get one entity chosen, and also you then single click on on one other entity, does the primary one get deselected? Do each find yourself being chosen, or simply the second (or none)?

May be a graphics card problem, however as you solely have “sure” it’s exhausting to know.
Attempt turning off {hardware} acceleration in Window/Preferences/OpenGL
and test that your home windows updates are all performed and your graphic driver is updated.
If it’s Home windows 10 it could possibly be something.

Solved!

As really helpful I turned off {hardware} acceleration and the one click on works accurately.

I’ll replace my graphics driver.

For reference I’m on a HP Pavilion w/ Home windows 7 64-bit and a Radeon HD 6770M graphics card.

Thanks everybody. A lot appreciated.

Can you place that data into your profile so we don’t should search for this thread once more subsequent time we need to see what your setup is.

Only for curiosity you could possibly change the preferences once more to carry again the issue, then single click on on a face and delete it. I believe it’s going to delete okay. The one problem was that you weren’t in a position to see that the face was chosen. The double-click additionally chosen the sting, which then at the least seems chosen even when the face doesn’t.

Hello All,

I’m having an identical drawback and cant appear to determine it out.
So I’ve sketch up professional 17 on a floor professional which I’ve been utilizing with no issues for the final couple of years till right now.
I even have a brand new laptop computer with 17 put in and its the primary time I’m utilizing it.
I’ve tried two completely different mouse]and each the contact pads on the laptop computer and floor pro-nothing occurs.
If I click on to pick out a floor it doesn’t spotlight as chosen, if I double click on it selects every thing, floor and linked edges and linked faces.
Each laptop computer and floor professional are home windows 10.
Any assist can be appreciated.

Since SketchUp 2017 Make hasn’t modified since, nicely, 2017, it’s essential have a look at what has modified. Almost certainly that is GPU associated. In SketchUp, go to Window>Preferences>OpenGL. Untick the field for Use Quick Suggestions. Any enchancment?

You must also go to the producer’s web site and ensure you have or set up their newest drivers. Don’t let Home windows let you know if the drivers are updated. They push their very own modified drivers which as a rule break issues.

Thanks DaveR, similar occurs after I untick the field, in poor health double test the drivers now.

Additionally ensure you have put in SketchUp accurately. That I, you proper clicked on the installer and selected Run as administrator.

Thanks DaveR-re put in and all working okay thanks in your assist

Thanks, DaveR. I used to be struggling with my a number of clicks and now every thing is ok once more. Nice!
