SSE Easy way to select fences?

[Wolfstorm]

These objects are quite complicated (farm fences in particular). You click on it, it wont select, even if there is no tree around, no obstacle in front of it. I assigned new meshes (which I found in the LE section of the nexus, then converted to SE) but even with these, its still difficult to select the object. Is there any trick to select fences, maybe some shortcut I dont know about?

Select them where? In-game? Doubt it. In the Creation Kit? When you have the render window open with the fence(s) in view, the Cell window should have a listing of all the objects in the cell. Look for the fence(s) there. You can double click an entry and the render window will snap to it.

 

You can also locate the base form in the Object window, right click and select Use Info. This should bring up another window that lists all the places it is used. You can go down that list by double clicking on the entries to bring them up in the Render window too.

 

If you're trying to edit the placed object via the Reference window, you can access that from the Cell window via the right click menu.

 

Hope that helps...

In addition to what Ishara said, if you're in creation kit, you can click on anything that might be in the way (including sometimes fog or clouds, usually trees that don't look like they are close enough) and hit the 1 key twice to hide them. They will vanish and can't be selected again. If you still have them selected, hitting 1 a third time will bring them back. If not, for example you hid them and then clicked on the fence or something, using ALT + 1 will bring them back. F5 will also bring everything back, and if you forget it's not a big deal. They'll still be there in game, and the next time you open the kit.

 

If you're in game, I'm assuming you're using something like Jaxonz positioner. Sometimes very difficult to select things without console help. As a general rule, if you're pointing right at a vase, for example, but there is anything displaying use instructions "search skeever" in your view, it will select that instead of the vase. What you can do is move out of the way of it, open console and click the console mouse on it, then close console and use the regular select/move/drop/set buttons. Remember to re-open console and clear out the ID number, or you will keep selecting it.
