[Bug] Since ProBuilder 4.0.4 on MacOS 10.14.5, you cannot select faces, edges, or verticles

[HunterAhlquist]

After ProBuilder 4.0.4 on MacOS, it is impossible to select a face, edge, or vertex by clicking.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Create a blank project on any Unity version on MacOS.
2. Install ProBuilder (any version from 4.0.4 onward) from the Package Manager.
3. Create an object such as a cube, attempt to select a face, edge, or vertex.
4. The attempted selection will highlight on mouse-over, but upon clicking, it will blink as if it was selected and deselected instantly.

A workaround is to select using a box selector, but sometimes that picks up a backface or an adjacent part.
Any version before 4.0.4 works just fine.

I’m able to reproduce using Unity 2018.3, I will get this fixed asap.

Edit - I lost the ability to reproduce after re-importing the entire project. If this is feasible for your project size, can you please try this and let me know if it works for you as well?

How should I “reimport” my project? Found no process to do it on Google.

UPDATE: I think I may have found the option in Assets > Reimport All. This hasn’t worked for me, if that is what you wanted me to do.

Yes, that was it. Okay, I will keep looking for a reproduce-able case.

I too am having this issue. I’ve “reimported all” and no dice. I’m using 4.1.0 of pro builder and 2019.2 and I’m on a mac.

Thanks for working on this!

Hi @kaarrrllll

This reproduces 100% on my machine and I was able to track it down to s_PickingDistance being 0. Because of that if (pickedElementDistance > pickerPreferences.maxPointerDistance) in DoMouseClick is basically always true, which shortcuts into selecting nothing.

I also see that s_PickingDistance was intended to be a configurable setting, but because no category and title are set for it in ProBuilderEditor.cs it doesn’t show up in Unity. Also from that file, I see that the default value for s_PickingDistance was intended as 128 so how it becomes 0 I don’t know.

I have fixed the issue for myself by making s_PickingDistance configurable in Unity by setting a category and title for it and then set it to something larger than 0.

Hope this helps.

I have this happen, my fix is to open Probuilder Preference and do a Reset All.
It happens on pretty much every new install of Unity.

Thank you @MaxedHuk , that’s great work. I will look into why that value is being set to 0.

Just wanted to chime in. I’m having this problem as well with pro builder 4.1.0, Unity 2019.2.6f1 on macOS Mojave 10.14.6. However, I was able to fix this issue by going to the pro builder preferences and doing “reset all”, just as [artysta]( [Bug] Since ProBuilder 4.0.4 on MacOS 10.14.5, you cannot select faces, edges, or verticles members/artysta.12243/) mentioned.

Yes, going to Probuilder’s preferences and “reset all” worked for me too. What a frustrating bug! I couldn’t even do the most basic things needed to use probuilder…this to me is a very serious bug (for Mac users)

[Skyler_Hawkins]

Just incase someone else felt like a dummy while trying to look for the “Reset All” in the Probuilder Preference

It’s the small cog in the upper right corner.

There will be an update out soon that addresses this, just need to have it run through QA
