Summary

There are objects in my level that I can’t even select because they are invisible or have some sort of transparency. All of Fortnite’s “Glass” prefab gallery is effected by this too.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Assign an invisible material to a cube in your scene.
  2. Try right clicking on it with your mouse to select it.
  3. Realize that it fails miserably to select the object and you have to scroll through the endless list of objects in your outliner just to be able to select it because you can’t click on it.

Expected Result

I should have been able to select an object even if it’s invisible.

Observed Result

Unable to click on an object with an invisible mesh or even some that are largly transparent such as the glass gallery prefabs
