Wish list item!

As @Tom W. pointed out I have to have 3D axes turned ON in grid settings, and I had that turned off.

So is there a way to redefine a saved working plane?

That's it!. Thanks @Tom W.

I have done that and I don't see any "grips". You can see the working plane is selected by the cross in the middle.

How do I rotate this working plane? I recall there were controls, but I cannot find them now.

Thanks @rDesign. I can watch that video. We really need an updated video. Where is this in 2025?

I want to learn to activate them, look at them, rotate my view to them, and redefine them. I've watched some of Jonathan's older WP videos, but they use the old controls.

I haven't used working planes much, so maybe I'm thinking of earlier versions of Vectorworks. I want to learn how to navigate around them as they are currently. Things like these toolbar actions, and the fact that the "Plane" designation in the OIP is gone (Thank goodness we no longer have to deal with layer plane and screen plane).

It seems there are many changes to working planes in 2025. Are there any videos that show the changes?

@Merlijn Toussaint I downloaded the "Cut List Template" file embedded above and I updated it to v2025. It has the use instructions too. Here it is. Cut List Template v2025.vwx

Darn! @line-weight you are correct. I was fooled again thinking I had found a solution. I switched the vp view to right ISO and there's everything again. Crap!

This discussion about Clip Cube got me wondering if I could do what I want to do using Clip Cube, and it looks like I can. Here's my pantry without the doors. I hid all the classes I don't want to see. I used the Clip Cube to cut like a section VP, then set the render to wireframe. I switched the view to Right View and created this VP. It works!

True, but it does not work using the hide selected objects command introduced in 2025.

I understand your concern, but in my case all of this could be solved if only there was a wireframe render setting for section VPs, or the ability to hide objects inside of a symbol.

Thanks @Tom W. I have it working now.

Thanks @Pat Stanford. VH help told me to look in the View Bar, which I assumed was at the top right above my drawing window.

Absolutely. But in my case if I could set the section VP to render hidden line that would be the best solution. I have added that to the wish list.

I can't find my Data Viz menu in the View Bar.

I used a Material too, and the material has a fill. I need the material for my worksheet criteria. I removed the material and fill form the bottom two shelves here:

What is the setting you are using in the Hidden Object Display? I've tried everything, but I cannot get rid of the black fill.

Yes I can! I've been working on the example for our user group to explain it later today. This may not be the best example, but it does show what I need. The right VP is a section VP. Wireframe is not an option (sadly). The horizontal dividers have been "sectioned" by the section VP cut. They are filled black and I cannot see the biscuit grooves, and I need to see those grooves. The left VP is a "standard VP looking from the right and set to wireframe. The best solution for my needs would be if wireframe was an available render option for a section VP. Hiding objects seems to be the next best workaround.

Looks like @Pat Stanford is (unfortunately) correct. I am in a sheet layer.

Am I doing something wrong? I'm trying to annotate the radius of these roundovers, but nothing happens.

Wow, that is nice! FYI... It does not work if the VP is of a symbol. Then the entire symbol is hidden, and that does limit this trick.
