    I think it also has to do with what might be called the wrapper "All criteria in this set" which I added to wrap the other two "Any" criteria.
  2. Bruce Kieffer
    Trial and error and I got it. I can't say how or why though!!! I do wish that defining the criteria was more intuitive, like asking how many of these parts are on these layers.

    I need my worksheet to correctly display the parts for sconces I plan to build. This criteria setup should work, but I have something wrong. I want to display the sconce parts on the East Wall layer and the West Wall layer, but not the Sconces Parts layer. This setup does not exclude the sconce parts on the Sconce Parts Layer. The total count should be 30, not 36. What do I need to do to fix that?

    The parent class of these objects is "None". Their parts have different classes. They are not visible until I select all or use a selection marquee where they are inside. They are not selectable if I turn off the none class, but that affects some visible objects I need to show. Why are they selectable if they are not visible?

    I know to check for that, and I did. I set the number format to decimal and like 30 points out. Then I removed the summarize of the worksheet. Both widths of prat C showed as 10. I think the problem was something else. It's fixed now.

    I rebuilt the side piece and that fixed it. It makes no sense why it would not worked flipped before. Vectorworks can be SO frustrating at times.

    I have a symbol of a mantle I am building. The sides are tapered but they are mirrored images of each other. I duplicated a side, then flipped it horizontal. When the side is not flipped, my cut list worksheet shows it's summarized by Part ID width correctly, but when it is flipped or mirrored the worksheet shows the summarized by Part ID width as ---. What's the problem Vectorworks!

    Please tell us the solution that @shorter had? I don't see that in this thread.

    Does anyone have a storm door drawing to share? I need one for a 36 x 80 Andersen 4000 storm door. Anything close I can modify. I did contact Andersen and they said they don't share their storm door drawings. That seems strange since they share all their window and door drawings.

    Yikes. Time to increase the Prevagen!

    So obviously there is no interactive setting to do this. That is sad since that is where we can go to modify the colors for many settings. Wish list here I come. @Pat Stanford, I'll see what I can do about getting your daughters that pony they want.

    Wireframe instead of shaded is better. Turn off grey other objects is not what I want. I really want to enhance the grey of the other objects so I can see them (a bit more).
  13. Bruce Kieffer
    Is the a way to change the appearance of other objects when editing a solid? I can barely see the other objects.
  14. Bruce Kieffer
    Thanks @Tom W. and @Pat Stanford I found it.

    I can hide objects in a viewport using the hide object mode of the visibility tool. How do I get all of the hidden objects in the viewport to show again? I tried double clicking the tool icon and I tried the Unhide Objects command, but they don't work.

    I have added a few new devices and updated the record to include the brand. Here's the file: Electrical Devices.vwx

    Thanks @Pat Stanford for trying to help figure this out. I'm going to walk away from this now since it appears the info Vectorworks is trying to convey is not info I need, but I do still wonder if maybe they use this info for VoiceOver. For my use, I would find it more beneficial to enlarge the hierarchy so I see that better.

    The C changes to O when the nested class is expanded. I assume the letters designate something to vision challenged people, but what?
  19. Bruce Kieffer
    I see "C"s too. The mystery continues!
  20. Bruce Kieffer
    I use Accessibility/Zoom on my Mac (don't get old!). When I hover over the classes there's some other text. I see B1, B2 and C1, maybe others too. What is Vectorworks telling me when it shows B2 here?
  21. Bruce Kieffer
    Thanks @propstuff and @markdd. Both of those methods work. I knew there had to be a Vectorworks way!
  22. Bruce Kieffer
    Is there a simpler way to bisect this angle? I used geometry, I drew an arc, then I drew a line from the corner through the arc center. I wonder if there's a faster way using Vectorworks tools?
  23. Bruce Kieffer
    It was not, but it is now! Thanks @markdd
  24. Bruce Kieffer
    I thought I had this working. My "Scale" data tag says the VP is 1:1, but it is really 1:28. Is there a way to make the scale data tag display the correct scale for a VP?
  25. Bruce Kieffer
    Nope, can't remove the command. Oh well, I will just ignore it then.
