Select an object with a shadow. Look at the very bottom of the Attributes Palette. You probably have Shadow checked. Uncheck it to make the shadows go away. It must be on by default. So if you make sure nothing is selected and then uncheck Shadow, then no shadow will be the default going forward. If you decide you like the shadows, the little color box to the right of the checkbox sets the color of the drop shadow and the 3 dots will open up a dialog box to control the shadow offset, blur, angle and opacity.

There are secret parts of the forum 🕶️. It's a bug. Fixed in 2026 update 1. Fix is scheduled for the next update of 2025.

Weird! I wonder if it's a OS 2026 thing?

@Randene are you by any chance using a Mac running the new OS? 26, Tahoe?

Confirmed. When using either the Viewport Class Properties or Viewport Layer Properties typing in the search field does NOT filter dynamically. It filters after hitting either the Return key OR the Enter key (the one by the numeric keys).

whoa. For me it does NOT filter dynamically. Only when I hit either return or enter. Then it filters.

If I understand correctly I think it's working for me. If you hit return from the state in that photo it should show just layers that include the word DEMO. At least it does for me.

I just tried it in 2025 and 2026. Not seeing it happen. Does it matter if you use the return or enter button on the keyboard? What OS are you using?

@SoundDoingLight I use these menu commands to move objects to different layers millions of times a day: https://www.verysmallgroup.com/layeruplayerdown It's just using SetParent() As always @Jesse Cogswell has great advice. If you always want to go to the same layer you just need to get the handle to the layer, the handles to the visibly selected objects (probably a ForEachObject function), and use SetParent.

Those aren't plug-ins. They look like vectorworks documents. Are they libraries? I'm not sure why they are in CloudDocs or how that works.

Do you have the Clip Cube turned on?

I think I might know why. But I'm not sure how it's supposed to be used. Revision records are very weird. When you create your first revision the data it get's stored in the record 'Title Block Revision Data-1'. When you create your second revision the data get's stored in the record… 'Title Block Revision Data-1'! The first revision moves to 'Title Block Revision Data-2'. Every time you create a new revision it moves the new one to 'Title Block Revision Data-1' and all the others shuffle down. AND each sheet can have unique revisions. I'll attach a file with a worksheet that shows how it works. Something like this worksheet may be helpful for you. Revision Data.vwx

I'm probably not understanding what you're trying to do. Can you post a file with the truss the way you have it set up?
