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.

Use Wireframe instead of Shaded.
Turn off the Grey Other Objects option.
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).
-
Is the a way to change the appearance of other objects when editing a solid? I can barely see the other objects.
-
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:

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?
-
I see "C"s too. The mystery continues!
-
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?
-
Thanks @propstuff and @markdd. Both of those methods work. I knew there had to be a Vectorworks way!

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?

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?
-
Nope, can't remove the command. Oh well, I will just ignore it then.

It’s meant for editing Interior Elevation Section Viewports. From the Vw2025 help file page on Editing Design Layers From a Section or Elevation View
Thanks @rDesign. Since I will never use it, I will remove it from my context menu. That is my plan.
-
I see this command when I'm in a Viewport and I right click on the VP. I can't tell any difference from Edit Design Layer.

I am having repeated problems trying to install it
- this is the third time the update has failed. A reboot immediately prior to the latest attempt did not help
I suggest you call to support on that one.
-
Yep, patience is the key. I see it now.

The message center says that Update 4 is available, but my install say I am up to date. What gives? Do I just need to wait a bit?

What does that mean? Do you want the objects to move with it?
Just like redefining a saved view. No, I don't want objects to move. Say I created an object and set a working plane to the top, and save that WP as "Top." Then for some reason I rotate the object, set a working plane for the new orientation of the top, and save it as "Top". Then I want Vectorworks to ask me if I want to overwrite the exist WP named Top. As it is now, all I can do is cancel because Vectorworks says that name is already in use.

It sure would be nice if we could redefine a working plane.

Only I think by right-clicking on it in the 'Working Planes' palette + selecting Edit... but that requires you to enter XYZ + rotation values manually which isn't really the same thing. If you edit a Working Plane in the drawing then go to resave it with the same name it doesn't let you overwrite it. So no, you can't redefine a Working Plane as far as I know. It would be useful to be able to though.
Wish list item!

Hey @Bruce Kieffer,
after placement of the WP, I can single-click to one of the axes to rotate.
Greetings
Tobi
As @Tom W. pointed out I have to have 3D axes turned ON in grid settings, and I had that turned off.
