Thank you. We regularly reset the plug ins as a fix to random glitches, but I'll pay more attention to resetting them every time someone new opens the file. Pushing on deadlines is the best time to have tech issues, so we'll hammer through this then follow up with tech support.

Still happening in 2024, Sonoma, Mac. So frustrating!

We've used text as symbols for years to annotate our wall sections. Within the last 18-24 months, there are many files where the wall sections are updated and the text in the callout is microscopic. To fix it, we have to double click to edit the symbol, go into the symbol and double click the text, exit the text, exit the symbol, and it is the correct scale. We've modified nothing. There are two pieces of text in each symbol -- the dumb text that indicates "typical wall assembly" then the callout text explaining the parts 'n' pieces of the assembly. Only the callout text is screwed up. This seems to be getting reset to microscopic scale whenever another user opens the file or we change the name of the file to the appropriate date. Also, why do I need to keep confirming that I'm not a robot as I type this message? 4 times, now. Images show the text scale issue. When "editing" the symbol, no changes are done -- just double clicking the callout to edit it and then escaping. Problem fixed. . . .painfully. We waste a ton of time updating every single text callout on every sheet of wall sections before sending pdf's. Help, please! -Carol (Still not a robot)

What is the seemingly random keystroke combination that turns Unified View OFF by mistake? This is wasting a ton of time. Now, even the shortcut to turn Unified View on and off in the Menu bar is dead -- so it's File, Preferences, etc about every time I change views. Why does this need to be so complicated and dysfunctional?

Also, turning on a clip cube creates absolute havoc with these blatsted shards! ANY UPDATES, VW?

I have to reload my Workspace EVERY TIME, as a work around.

We're having a ton of trouble with symbols being on Screen Plane in VW22 (SP3) becoming grayed or screwing up the hatch scaling and I suspect it has to do with the "elimination" of Screen Plane in this version of VW. Is there a global way to change ALL screen plane objects to layer plane? Also, what is going on with the hatch scaling? The image below has an insulated slab -- it is the same symbol, inserted two times in the viewport, with two different results. Also, zooming in and out will make the grayed objects appear fine and then disappear. I've rebooted less than an hour ago, on a robust iMac. Images below are from two different Sheet Layers, same project, same symbols, totally different results. Any guidance (or general agreement with my plight) is appreciated. -Carol

I'm not using image effects. Computer is new as of last spring, if I recall correctly. iMac 18,3 model iMac Retina 5K 27", 2017. . . 4.2 GHz Intel Core i7. . . 32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4 RAM. . . . Radeon Pro 580 8192 MB Graphics Card. . .

I'm using a Mac, High Sierra 10.13.6, 4.2 GHz Intel Core i7; 32GM 2400MHz DDR4 RAM, with a Radeon Pro 580 8192 MB Graphics card. No camera effects. Just render a viewport, then it immediately goes black after the render is complete. Typically, I can copy the black viewport, re-render the new one and delete the old. More often, I've had to create an entirely new viewport because no copying of the "bad" viewport will render correctly. Rebooting, changing caches, only VW open, nothing seems to fix it. It is sporadic and still a problem.

I'm still having this issue in VW 2019 Service Pack 3!

Kevin, you're so right! Waiting nearly 20 minutes to update a window schedule is absurd. And a 500MB file should not take 3-4 minutes to save or ro regenerate a section viewport. -Carol

I've only been able to open worksheets on sheet layers. Not in viewports, but directly ON the sheet layer. Totally annoying -- I have to basically reload them on a sheet every time I want to edit something. Good luck!

I've gone through a ton of work to create styled walls for a complex renovation. After tagging an area of styled walls with the ID TAG, all is well. . . .until I move the tag, copy the area to the next floor up, or try to create a symbol of the tagged walls to copy to another area of the building. Tags look normal but do not update when the style walled is replaced with another styled wall. My walls are color coded, so I can tell immediately if a 1 hr tag is on a non-rated wall -- and they're ALL messed up! Assuming I can get this resolved ASAP, should the tags in the bathroom of a hotel, for example, be located on the screen plane or the "symbol"? I can't seem to edit them if I change them to "symbol", but I'm more concerned about having to tag every single wall and never moving the tag to make it stay "smart". Any help with wall id tags would be appreciated. Thank you! -Carol

This is quite ridiculous that this is STILL a problem! We use BG's solution of window tags on separate classes. It just happened to me with doors, too.

We're having the same problem and it is 2016!
