I've read about this problem elsewhere, but still can't make it work. The influence circle is apparently too large to be visible and the scroll button only has a regular zoom effect on the scene. Scrolling out doesn't help. Tried scaling up the object, and still nothing. Tried opening a fresh scene with the default cube with same result. I was able to use prop. editing once in a tutorial, but never since then. Using 2.82.7. Any suggestions?
