Problem selecting Hulls - Nurbs sphere

Problem selecting Hulls - Nurbs sphere


This issue has been brought up before, but those solutions don't work for me.
I am having a problem selecting Hulls, specifically on a Nurbs sphere. I can't select the top most hull, or the tip of the sphere's Hull.
After playing with it multiple times I can grab it but it sure is a pain.
Using Maya 2011.
Anyone experiencing same? See snapshot.
thanks
Dan

Does this happen to other components? If so, it could be that you have soft selection on.

Thanks for reply.
I do not have soft select on. I have been thinking maybe on a sphere it is just tricky to select that top hull?
I do get it to work, after many attempts - may be just users (me) fault.
Thanks
Dan

Hmm, I don't have any problem selecting the pole hull, but then again, I am pretty amazing at the left mouse clicking. Try renaming your prefs folder to prefs_backup, and Maya will create new fresh prefs; might be some strange selection priority issue.
