I’m trying to select faces and edges and the grid keeps getting in my way, so i can only select the grid. Such a time waster

It’s like the grid is a fence or force field preventing me from using the app

Can you elaborate a bit? Actually you can’t select the grid, and you should be able to select objects behind it.

I have found that my system behaves similarly on infrequent occasions.  
As this is not easily repeatable it has not been tendered as a problem.

My solution is to properly **Exit** Shapr3d.app and then **Open** the App again.  
Note that Apple directions need to be followed to do this, simply dismissing the App and then switching back to it will not help matters.

Alternatively **Shut Down** the iPad Pro and then **Reboot**.  
This, of course, set everything up afresh.

Both methods have always regained normality for me.
