@FranAJA Yes please let me know if you see this again. Thanks for the details! Just to confirm, were you using VW 2025 Update 1 when you saw this problem originally?
-
@FranAJA yes please email it to me at tconnors@vectorworks.net. Or, you can go into the Messages here (top-right, envelope icon), click "Compose New", and send it to me privately from there. Thanks again!

@David Poiron would you mind sending me a VW file that shows this when you get a chance? You can send it in a private message if needed. I don't recall seeing this in the past so I'm thinking there's something specific about these Image Props that's causing it. Thanks!

@FranAJA would you mind sending me a VW file that shows an example of this? You can send it in a private message if needed. We haven't seen this problem before as far as I know, so there's likely something specific in your files that's triggering it. Thanks!

@naturelover Happy to help!

@naturelover one more thing I noticed In your file: the user origin is currently offset from the internal origin by a large amount. This can cause lots of issues with graphics and rendering, since it forces your machine to have to calculate very large numbers related to the objects' location. If you run the Tools/Origin/Center Drawing on Internal Origin command, it'll move the internal origin closer to the user origin, which should fix any origin-related problems. Hope this helps!

@naturelover as shown in the attached movie, there are actually 5 "Pyrus" Plants on that layer, they're just overlapping each other so they're hard to see. The Script in the attached VW file will select all the "Pyrus" Plants that are visible, in case it helps. Extra Plants.mp4 Selection Script.vwx

@naturelover here's a short video showing how to set the Criteria so that it only counts the Plants from the "Planting plan" design layer. It looks like you also have Plants on other design layers, and in some cases you have Plants that overlap each other. For example on the "Planting plan" layer there are five total "Pyrus salicifolia pendata" Plants. Two of them overlap two others, so you may have just accidentally duplicated two of them at some point. Hope this helps! Plant Count Criteria.mp4

@naturelover it looks like the Worksheet column on the far-right is actually empty. I've attached a short movie showing how to set up this column with the correct formula so that it shows the count. Please let me know if you have any questions. Plant Quantity.mp4

@naturelover would you mind DMing me a copy of this file so we can take a closer look? This doesn't seem to be a general problem so it might have something to do with the Worksheet formula or the Plants themselves. Thanks!

@Biscontin as Hernán mentioned this could be related to Unified View. Can you try unchecking this box in the document Preferences and see if it fixes the problem?
-
Thanks @Biscontin, checking with the engineers and will get back to you asap.
-
@Biscontin can you check and see if you have the "Accelerate Graphics" preference enabled in your Vectorworks Preferences?

@Biscontin would you mind DMing me a copy of a VW file where you're seeing the problem? If it's file specific, there are a few things I can think of that might be causing it so it'd probably be easiest to just take a look. Thanks!

@Ian M. Hi Ian, when you switch to Wireframe can you continue to work or is the render blocking you? We do have a few rare cases where the teapot can get stuck in an ON state, even though nothing is actually being rendered. You can usually continue working as normal, and I've found that switching to a sheet layer and then back will usually make the teapot go away. Does that seem to be the case for you? If not, would you mind checking your CPU usage to see if it actually seems to be processing a render when in that state? You can see this in Activity Monitor on Mac and in Task Manager on Windows. If it's actually rendering something you should see much higher than normal CPU usage. Thanks!
