Title: 3dsmax2018 - select camera only
Post by: SHORT CUTS on 2017-09-18, 18:21:20

We recently upgraded to the latest 3dsmax version and the first thing i noticed is that you cant select only the camera anymore, if you click on the camera the target will also be selected. Anyone knows how to avoid it or turn it off? Right now i always have to deselct the target afterwards by a single click right on the target (cant do a marquee unselect because the camera will be deselected too) and then move the camera...

yes this is a known bug. I believe it's reported in the beta forums. i've been able to select the camera in viewport by turning on the motion path, if your cam is animated

In the Command Panel, go to Cameras to create a camera, and CoronaCam is in there along with Physical, Target and Free :)  (Using the latest daily builds of 1.7 of course)
