OK, I'll move on. Thanks. Sad!

I made a profile shape that I want to extrude, but I'm not sure the profile is correct, so I made it a symbol thinking I could later come back and modify the symbol's profile shape and then all the extrudes would change. I tried to extrude the symbol, but no luck. Is there a way to do this?

No go on the refresh.
No go with renaming the user folder. Vectorworks really did not like that. It wanted my serial #. OK. I added it, then Vectorworks said I had reached my limit.
Yes I am using .sta files, in fact I made a few new templates from the file menu and none of those show on the Home screen either.
I'm going to give up on this and I will just open templates using file/new use template.
-
I checked and I have all set up correctly. I even added a Workgroup folder and placed a template in that. I restarted Vectorworks a few times, and restarted my Mac, but still nothing shows in the Home Templates tab.

Templates do not show in the "Templates" tab on my Home Screen, but I do have a template. Is there something I am missing or doing wrong?

This is a problem with Mac OS Sequoia and Vectorworks 2025. I can now reproduce the problem. If I right click an object and hold the mouse button down and go to a command, then the command does not work. If I right click an object and release the mouse button down and go to a command, then the command works. Another user confirm they see this same behavior.

More testing is making me wonder if this is a conflict with Keyboard Maestro. There's something definitely strange going on. If I long pause on a Vectorworks 2025 contextual menu item, click it, then it works, and then all the context menu commands work after the first one does. Keyboard Maestro running or not. I hate troubleshooting!
-
I found the problem. It's a conflict with Keyboard Maestro. I don't have this problem with Vectorworks 2024, or any other app. I let support know I found the conflict. Hopefully they will fix it soon.

Are you running antivirus software? This sounds like something is blocking parts of Vectorworks.
No, but I did think about booting in Safe Mode. And I have a few other things to try this morning before I call support again.

It works for me. Are you sure you're right-clicking in empty space + invoking the Doc Context menu...?

Nope. No fix. Sad. Now what?
-
I found out today that none of my contextual menu commands are working. I'm reinstalling Vectorworks now. I sure hope that fixes this problem.
-
I will call support tomorrow.

Yep. It does not work for me.

Try adding it to the Document Context menu instead.
I tried that too and it still does not work.

I (with great difficulty) added the Hide Selected Objects command in my object context menu, but it does not work there. The menu command does work. Anyone else notice this issue?

That would be a script. I won't have time to think about this for at least a couple of weeks. Hopefully someone else chimes in sooner.
Thanks Pat, don't do work on it. I don't have much need for that functionality beyond last night. I was just wondering if was built into Vectorworks and I did not know.

Each palette has its own search field, and Quick Search only searches Tools and Menus or both simultaneously. I want to simultaneously search the layers, sheet layer, viewports, and saved views palettes.

Say I want to find all those that have "grille" in their name at one time.

@Rob C., Vectorworks stopped hosting community groups about 4 months ago. Our group held its last meeting in July. There are 5 groups remaining that have virtual meetings. Here's a link to a calendar showing their meetings.

It is likely that you have gotten the 2D rectangles included in the Symbol Definition.
In the OIP, do the symbols that display in Top/Plan show as 3D Symbol or Hybrid Symbol? What about the ones that don't show.
If they are Hybrid symbols, then only the 2D portion will show when in Top/Plan. Edit the symbol to remove the 2D objects (or if you need them, convert them to 3D Polygons) and you should get them to show in Top/Plan.
Exactly what was going on. I found out a moment before you replied!

This must be some setting I have goofed. My cabinets display fine in top view, but the bottom one disappears and changes to a group of rectangles when I look in top/plan view. How do I fix that?

I have data tags placed on sheet layers. Those tags are in my Data Tags class. If I've viewed a layer without the Data Tags class on, then I activate a sheet layer my data tags are not visible. I know I could create a saved view to solve this, but typically I just click a sheet later to view the sheet.

I tried adding a .01" x .01" extrude to the solid subtraction and that worked. It's there, but so small that I can't see it.
When I change a symbol's name I want the symbol name in my worksheet to change?

I have a worksheet that counts symbols by symbol name. If I change a symbol's name in the RM, then my worksheet losses that symbol's reference, and I have to edit the worksheet's criteria and reassociate the symbol's to its revised name. Is there a way to update the worksheet to recognize the symbols revised name?
