    Default Picking end points on 3d objects

    Hello all,
    been a long time since I browsed these forums...I see alot of updates! Anyways, I've upgraded to ACAD 2013, and I'm having trouble picking end points of 3d rectangles now. even in a wireframe view. Can anyone point me in the right direction, as to what to check?

    Thanks!

    What do you mean by a "3d rectangle"? A brick?
    Is it made of surfaces or a solid or 2d geometry with thickness?

    ENDpoint snap should pick a corner of a solid.

    If you are trying to pick an endpoint of a 3d object while in paperspace and the vport is hidden then you could have a problem. (Do not pick while hidden)
    If you are in model space then I would have no idea why you couldn't pick endpoint.
