Hi! You make a good point, that the current behavior might not make sense on desktop. We started out on Android and iOS and there "tapping" on objects makes a whole lot more sense. We should probably revisit the entire controls logic in the future. In the meantime, try it out on mobile, might feel more fluid.
I'm seeing the same behavior on mobile (surprised it worked so well on my ancient phone!). Make two items, tap the first item, then tap the second one. It still looks confusingly like nothing is selected.

I would love to have some info on particular object size and ability to set sizes/rotations precisely, so I can do some simple modeling for 3d printing.

The iOS app is a pleasure to use. I would love the ability to input numerical values via keyboard for things like dimensions, positions, rotations, etc. Another user mentioned the non– standard rotation widgets, however I actually enjoy the rotation tool in its current form. I would also like to express my appreciation for the ability to save/import/export files instead of locking those functions behind in-app purcha…

Some needed features:
- precise editing
- manual entry of dimensions
- different materials and transparency
- library of common items such as batteries, usb ports, etc
- sub-mm scale
- pencil support for ipad pro

First, thank you! I use the ipad version. Some needed features: - precise editing - manual entry of dimensions - different materials and transparency - library of common items such as batteries, usb ports, etc - sub-mm scale - pencil support for ipad pro
- manual entry of dimensions (planned)
- different materials and transparency (planned)
- library of common items (had multiple extremely long arguments about this, still no consensus on this)
- batteries, usb ports, etc (?)
- sub-mm scale (for 3D printing?)
- pencil support for ipad pro (not currently planned, if there is demand we could add it)

A lot of people have been asking for transparency lately. We can add it, but would need to rework how object selection/deselection looks visually. Thank you for the feedback.
What you probably want to do is draw an outline around your object when selected.
