Howdy, long time Punch user, first on older versions while we built our last home and now on v20 as we build this home .. super useful!

This time I am having issues that the eye dropper to select a material and trying to drag any material onto the walls or ceiling doesnt recognise the wall or ceiling when I am in a room, exterior materials seem fine. I have half the house done and everything was fine, then I added the second half (all first floor) and something has created this issue.
Example: I look down to change the tile floor, it doesnt see the tiles or floor, it selects the grass instead.
Example: I look up to select the ceiling, and it selects some random object elsewhere, or the walls, or the outside landscape photo.
Example: I try everywhere to select some interior wall but it finds random objects and the grass or fence mesh outside.

What does work is when I am in satellite view and I can drag materials onto the floors and some parts of wall.

Hi there,

Hi there,

This is a hardware issue.
1 - Go to => Edit => Preferences => System => Graphics => Hardware Acceleration. By default, the level of the accelerations is "Full" => Move the control to the center and see if your issue is solved. If not, move the control to the left (None) => check if your issue is solved.
2 - Always important => update the drivers of your video card.

Hope this helps.
