Well go figure, after re-booting my computer after other oddities in other software & re-opening VW it started working. My graphics card driver is up to date.

When saving a new file & starting to draw some of the time my Smart Option Tool set is not selectable and is greyed out. But I can move my curser over the Basic Tool Pallet & select the tool & start drawing. I had this happen before & not knowing what I did it suddenly stated working correctly. IS there a new setting in VW 2026 for the Smart Options Display?

I use this Split Tool a lot to split a polygon in a close up detail & do not want the polygon to close automatically, but no it does & takes more clicks to get the cut edge open. Funny because it only took one click in the Object Info Pallet to close it.

Thanks Tom, I now see that I have to create an Wall Closure component that is at a height above the selected cut plane, then it is visible the same as VW2025. One other question is in VW2026 help I'm reading the Wall Closure Settings but do not see where this setting is to change. I do use 2 different styled walls each with a core component. But in both I do not see where the Wall Closure Setting in the Edit Wall Style dialog box. Mine does not give this option.

Thanks Tom for posting this, I've watched it many times & now have my walls core component of hatching visibly shown. As I can tell from this video we now have to have 2 new classes, Wall at Cut Plane & Wall Below Cut Plane in each VW file. Would be nice if they explained this more. I would like to see the see the settings for each. Also, think I am figuring out we can not use 2D doors & Windows in our walls any more. The Bel Attr. Cls. is not highlighted to be used when wall is selected, guess I have to make that class first, not sure. So far I can not get my 2D doors to insert with no wall where door is. I'll keep trying when I can but will be using VW2025 to get my projects down.

Hey Pat, attached if my default file with the Leader Line Tool & Break Line Tools that I'm having issues with. the leader line tool is changing the class to where I want the leader line but leaves that class as the default. The Break Line tool does not use the light weight I have selected. it used the default one that is selected in the Attributes panel. I see these along with other custom tools in the Resource Browser folder Custom Tools. Thanks for any advice, but if needed I can change it as I use them. Default-Studio.sta

I will not be using VW2026 until another production because the TV production I'm working on now I've already have many stage sets drawn & is a mess when opening them in VW2026. As far as the Custom Command light weights I can deal with that.

Thanks very much for letting me know VW changed that setting in 2026, I have never had that option selected in previous version because the majority of my drawings are 2D & never needed that design layer wall ht.. And YES now it looks like my previous walls in plan. And Yes I did not read the Read Me Notes this time.

I'm noticing a couple of things I can not get to work correctly. First my Custom Commands/Tools. I have a Leader Line Tool made that uses line weight 5 & places the leader line in my Text Class which it does, but it is changing my current class to the Text class, not switching it back to None which I use mostly. This works correctly in VW2024, but not 2025 & now in 2026 Secondly, I can not get my wall styles to show visibly correct, even with using a wall style included in Resources. It is like the Hiding Wall Components is turned on & stopping all components from being visible. But I never have that selected to not show the components. There must be another setting somewhere for this. It works fine in 2025 & 2024 I have down a repair re-install & it did not find any bad files. Any suggestions would be appreciated File included VW2026 Issues.vwx

I'm having issues with VW2026, can't get some custom commands to work correctly & no matter what I do non of my Walls are working right, not getting the hatch or line weights, even with creating new wall types.

UPDATE in the effort to keep trying things to see if there is a work-around, I've noticed the active class selected is not displayed correctly between the ribbon across the top & the Navigation pallet. When changing the active class in the ribbon above it does not change in the Navigation pallet.

I use a wall type for set design that is a set wall with finish on one side. This is shown with a shaded hatch for the wall thickness & a heavy line showing the finished side in 2D & painted gypsum on finished side with all other sided blacked out. Everything works except for the visual on the screen when drawing the wall. After drawling the wall it does not show the finished wall line unit you move the wall or drag copy the wall. See attached video. Yes my graphics card driver is up top date & have accelerated Graphics selected in Preference & have Windows Graphics settings set to graphics card High Performance for VW 2026. This shows up correctly in VW 2025 Update - after confirming the wall types attributes work correctly in 2D & is shown correctly in 3D I saved the VW2025 file. Then opened VW2026 & opened the file, imported the wall types & saved the file. Same issues but noticed after moving the wall in any way the attributes would show correctly, but when Undoing, the wall moved back to where it was & the line attributes turn off again just like it was.

I'm rebuilding VW 2026 like suggested instead migrating my 2025 settings & trying to remake my Custom Tools. In both 2025 & 2026 after running the script to use a certain class, constraint,& tool, it is not leaving the class to where I was before using the custom tool. In 2024 it does like it is suppose too. Anyone else having this happen? Another Custom Tool question, in the tutorials to create one says to selected the Class, Tool, Constraint, Pen thickness-type-color. With the class already being set for Pen type, thickness, & color; why do you need to set these when creating the Custom Tool?

Go figure, right after posting this I noticed as a symbol in a 2D plan I could not see much of the trailer model because there was no 2D drawing of it. so I pressed Control "K" & selected convert all objects, then in right side view I hit Control "L" and it rotated 90, hit it again & now it is finally upside down. I guess I can not have any symbols in the model? I still do not understand why it would not rotate.
