Hi Benson, The strangest thing - I have just started work on a new document and changed the page size to A4 and the scale is 1:1. By default all my documents open in ISO A0 and have a scale of 1:25. The problem I originally had is gone and when I draw objects in the resized document it all works perfectly and I can no longer see the grid through the 2D objects. I have also resized the document back to the default ISO A0 and scale of 1:25 and even this works when I draw objects. Not quite sure what I've done wrong or if this is the only way I will get to see the solid objects. I Also think that you may have a point about the planes and I'm looking into this. Many thanks, stellastar

Hi, Thanks for this. I have checked the layer opacity and it is set to 100% Thanks, stellastar

Hi Oyvind, Thanks for your response. I have in the class attributes checked for Use at Creation, but unfortunately this still does not work. Thanks, stellastar

Hi, Please forgive me if this seems that this is a very basic question. Unfortunately, I have been unable to make new objects that I draw in 2D opaqaue. I have set the attributes of the class and still this does not happen. I have the grid on at the moment and have set the fill colour to white. However, I can still see the grid through the object. I have played around with design layer opacity, unckecked and checked the GDI setting in preferences, but still to no avail. I have looked on the techboard and saw a similar problem with a user back in 2002. I did try to follow these instructions, but this did not work. I have made a 3D object from an extrude and again, I still cannot make it opaque in plan or top. In the knowledge base I have watched 2 good movies and this still has not helped with this problem. I am a new user to Vectorworks but have knowledge of AutoCAD and other visualisation software. I would appreciate any help with this matter. I am currently using: Vectorworks 2010 SP4 Windows 7 64bit Professional Thanks in advance stellastar
