Quote - With DS4 the Surface selection tool also selects the item, so you no longer need the two step process.

 

You'e right, that was a ds3 trick, but I turned that function off as it was super annoying to have your whole screen flare up with yellow. Sometimes Studio4 was not terribly precise while differentiating between a character's surface and the giant wall of pipes behind them, for example.

I have noticed that sometimes it does pick it for you, but sometimes not. Seems like a crap shoot by model/prop.

Speaking of, for anyone who has the same problem, you can go to your tool tab next to your scene tab in the left hand side window and change that from bounding box and surface to bounding box only, should you wish.
