Objects not deleting? Use repair mode

[u/steele330]

If you ever run into the issue of not being able to delete objects whilst in build mode, especially when using the eye of oculus, then don’t worry there is a quick solution - repair mode!

If you switch to repair mode it seems to always delete the object (and is much more precise too).

It took me ages to figure this out and thought I’d share to hopefully help other people who have the same issue as I used to have some objects which would just refuse to delete. With repair mode active I have never had this issue.

Yeah that was something I ended up figuring out for myself not long ago. Allows for more experimentation.

Not only that, if you delete it, you retain all materials used to make it.

Is that true always or just in Oculus mode? Very x good to know

[u/Norjack96 → u/justadudeinchicago]

Always. I just happened to notice this when I was deleting furniture.

It's actually a better way to do it anyway. If you're dealing with stacked items, this gives you much more precise aim.
