    Can't select STL

    I have just started to use this GRBLGRU and it looks great. However my very first try with a 3d model is not going well. I have loaded a stl model but I can't select it. I "click" on it and doesn't select. Did I miss a step?

    To select an STL object press CTRL and the left mouse button. Then press CTRL and the right mouse button to open the context menu.
    Here you can choose what you want to do with the STL object.

    Thanks for the reply. I was using that command and it wasn't working. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program 4 times and the last install started working. I have no idea what was wrong, but now I can select a stl. Thanks again.

    Thanks. I have another issue. When using the probe on a real part,the points it creates are way off to the left of the probe. How do I get the points to show at the probe location? This is also happens when doing a probe of the part surface.

    Sorry for the mistake the points are off to the right not the left.
