Selection of faces during "Deep Paint faces" in group/components
Hello,
When I use "Deep Paint faces" in an open component this tool still selects faces outside of this component. This blocks often the reach of faces within the open component and you can easy make an error to paint an face outside the component, which you can't see during the process. Only to discover this after you close the component (when you hide geometry outside the component, which is easy to see and reach the geometry within the component.
Only the faces in the open component (or group) should be selectable.

Hi Dale,
Often you have surfaces you can't paint directly because there is an other component blocking the view. Even in wireframe you can't select the wanted faces, because all kind of geometry is front and will be slected first. So you can't even reach the wanted faces...
In the attached image you see an cabinet, but it's part of a row cabinets. The highlighted blue rectangle is the door of the cabinet on the right side of the open component.
There are several reasons to paint sides you don't see:
- if you reuse the components you need all the faces in the right color.
- in production preparation the color determines the material uses. Often extensions use the material information to creates data sheets.
Besides these it paint much quicker if the selection is narrowed to the open component. (hide the rest of the model option)
If you need more feedback, let me know...
