I am a complete novice at TBC, have been using other CAD software for a while and just recent i started learning TBC, so please bear with me if i am asking armature question on the other hand kindly assist if you may

I am using the tutorial data, and i have a photogrametry and scan module enabled dongle license.

But when i try to use the polygon select command the mouse shows a prohibited sign, why is that?

Kind Regards

David

Hi David,

Does your screen look something like this? The prohibited sign is appearing because the "focus" is on a box in a command (as shown by the upper arrow). TBC is expecting input in a command box that cannot be entered by selecting something in the plan view. To make a selection in the plan view with the polygon select command, you will need to remove the focus from the current box.

Thank you for trying out TBC!
