cant use mouse to select genesis

telephotographer

once again DAZ3d has managed to be super frustrating, i cannot just click on my model with the universal tool or surface tool to select it, it works just fine on clothing not on genesis models, last week i couldnt select individual surfaces of the models and now this week i can't select the model, are there updates or patches going on that are effecting this????  I included screen shots, when i click on the piece of clothing it highlights that piece in the scene menu and it also effects the smart content tab if i have it selected it will show only related products to the selected item, but when i click on the genesis 8 nothing happens, it worked last time i used DAZ3d...

i can select the model in the scene menu, and surfaces in the surface editor, i also cannot change individual surfaces on a model without changing all the surfaces, IE if i apply a face texture to the face it applys the face to her body, to her arms, to her legs and to her eyes as well as just the face

I have reinstalled everything still doesn't work

If you scroll up to the Genesis 8 female line in the Scene pane and look to the left, does the arrow icon have a cross or a tick next to it?

So you finally figured out you had the Surface selection tool active.

The Surface Selection Node can select nodes (figures or props, not bones).
