Cannot select parts in opened project containing a support blocker (Cura 4.10.0)

Posted · Cannot select parts in opened project containing a support blocker (Cura 4.10.0)

When I create a new project and add an stl model and a support blocker, save the project and then reopen it (it doesn't matter whether I choose "Open as project" or "Import models"), I'm unable to select the model or the support blocker individually. It doesn't matter which one I click on; all I see is this image (the reason it's dark gray is because I have created a custom filament which is black):

I can still slice the model and the support blocker will do its job properly, but I cannot select the support blocker to move it to reshape it. I can create a new support blocker, and then it seems I get two selectable objects: 1) the model and the support blocker loaded from file, and 2) the new support blocker. In this image I have selected the former:

The disability of not being able to select the support blocker and the model individually, plus the inconsistency between support blockers loaded from a project file and newly created support blockers, makes this feel as a bug, so I tagged this topic as a bug.

 

I'm using Cura 4.10.0.

    Can you right-click and Ungroup?  CNTRL+left-click any object?  Select from the object list in the lower left of the screen?

    Ah, so that is how you do it! 🙂 Okay, well then it's just me not knowing Cura well enough.

     

    A question along a similar line: If I have two objects, of which one is completely inscribed by the other object, how can I select the innermost object?

    If it isn't part of a group it will be available in the object list on the lower left.

    There may be a way to cycle through the objects of a group but I am unaware of how to do that.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
