THANKS! That was exactly my problem. The VW update was just what I needed. I should have known they would have been available. Joe

I pretty much tried all of those things already. Thank you for replying. I opened up a house plan that came with doorswings that were colored blue in the 2D view. I could plainly see the doors were the same colors as the jams. There was a door class in which to control this attribute in the class menu. Somehow, whichever way I place a door a "door's" class will not be made. The door shows up in a 3D view just fine and I set it to be open at 90?. It just wont be outlined in the 2D view. The weird thing is that in this premade house plan, I placed the exact same door that matched some that were alrady there on a random wall, and it didnt follow the rest of the door class. Even when I set it to the pre-existing door class, it didnt change anything. What am I doing wrong? Can you give me an example on how to place a door? Just simple steps I can follow, appearantly I'm doing something horribly wrong. Thank you so much for your time. I'll get this all down eventually! I took a few pictures of the problem but I dont know how to post images on this forum.

I seem to be having some problems creating 2D symbols. I just recently started using vectorwork. I bought a fairly comprehensive manual to go along with it. When I got to the section about how to place 2D symbols, I did everything it said but it seems there was a problem. From the plan view (not 3D) the door swings and door casings show up but not that door itself. I can change the fill color of the door but the outline stays white. if I put no fill color on the door, the door appears to be invisable. I have the same problem with windows. How do I change the line weight on these 2D symbols? I'm using the default sets that came with the porgram. Also, these doors DO show up in 3D view, but not 2D view.
