Then you should really change to Maya 2016 Ext2. AKA 2016.5. I'm not sure what are you doing, but here the transition from 2016 to 2016.5 has been totally smooth and the data is retro compatible with 2016, and the selection is not as bad as it used to.
I've heard a lot that those kind of problems can be caused by using a GeForce. So, a few years ago, about a GPU generetion ago, I bought an old Quadro. Just to see if I should upgrade to a newer and more expensive Quadro later. Maya selection was as bad as it was, and my overall experience didn't change at all. I've already switched back to a GeForce, Martin On Thu, Feb 1, 2018 at 7:54 PM, Morten Bartholdy <[email protected]> wrote: > I should have mentioned I am on Maya 2016 SP6, due to collaborative > compatibility requirements.
