thanks Juelien, I was hoping that there was a magic function that would allow to implement the boomerang selection. Even if it was with vectorscript instead of python.

With the SDK I can activate 'Boomerang Selection' this way, but I cannot find nothing similar in Vectorworks VS:Function Reference. void CTool_EventSink::OnInitXProperties(IToolPropertiesProvider* pPropsProvider) { pPropsProvider->SetProperty(kToolXPropBoomerangSelection, TRUE); } Thanks in advance for any help on this matter! !

Thanks Selin.

Also suffering with this issue. It seems to happen only with boolean solids objects that are clip-cubed in renderworks.

Great! now I get it. I didn't realise I had to set the preference for all the objects I create in the PIO. Thanks!!!

thank you both for the quick answer. Maybe my question was not very clear (English is not my mother language). What I was trying to ask, in fact, is how to implement inside the code of a PIO, to redraw itself according to the layer or viewport detail level. I program my custom door and wardrobe objects and I would like to get them displayed according to the detail level of the viewport or scale of te parent layer.

hi, does anyone know how to implement detail level inside a PIO? Cannot find any function related to detail level in VW2019. thanks

I came across this issue and found this thread looking for a solution. The answer is directly in VW2019 help at this link: http://app-help.vectorworks.net/2019/eng/index.htm?#t=VW2019_Guide%2FViewports1%2FSection_Line_Instances.htm%23XREF_61030_Section_Line It is clearly explained, even though the handling of section line instances is not very intuitive. Attached is a screen capture to show the section line instances dialog where you can activate the section lines PIO in any layer or viewport.

Still mac only. I 'disconnected' from windows since version 2012 and I have no time to catch up with development in both platforms.

Thomas, I am Manuel, the developer of VectorBits plugins. I have received a message from Tolu, writing to me about the problem with the Quick Align tool and the undo system. I was aware of the problem back on october and I immediately updated all of my tools, but unfortunately I missed to upload the Quick Align tool to my site. I didn't receive any direct complaints from the users so I wasn't aware of this problem until Tolu wrote to me. I am sorry for all the headaches this issue has caused you and other users. Now I have uploaded the correct version of the Quick Align tool in case you want to give it a try. sorry again.
