Post a screenshot, I don't know what a "magic icon" is.

Normally you can use the magic wand to find a polygon shape and draw a new element from it. usually it is controlled by the spacebar.

Hi Pilgonico,

I think you might be describing the same problem as on this thread -

I still don't know what causes it, but a restart usually clears it.

Also in future, please put your ArchiCAD version and operating system specs in your signature, as some problems are version specific.

I had this problem too.
Could not figure out what was the cause so usually I had to restart AC to get rid of it.
