It looks like you have three monitors, and all of them are using your Intel 630 integrated card rather than your dedicated Nvidia Quadro.

First: Make sure your monitors are ALL plugged in ONLY to the dedicated graphics card's ports on the rear of your machine. Do not use any ports for video up near the USB among the rest of the ports along the back of the machine.

Second: Perform the following, reboot, then see if the issue recurs:
 

This is a bug we are actively tracking in 2018. I was able to replicate it here as well.

Yes, I have it filed as a current bug. The only way I was able to get it to stop happening was to restart Vectorworks or close all open tabs once it begins.

VB-146728

This is because we added a new preference value that didnt exist before related to storing palette locations. It will not appear again, sp3 will have the warning removed.

If you drag the worksheet from the resource manager back onto the sheet, it does not appear? Same if all classes/layers (for the document, not the viewport) are set to visible?

Moving thread to Known Issues, reposting a Best Answer since this seems to be common:
 
If you are on a Mac and experiencing the issue where libraries do not install, try the following:
 
1) Close Vectorworks.
2) In your Application folder, right click on the Vectorworks 2017 folder and choose "Get Info"
3) Set the permissions so that each listed user (System, YourUsername, etc) is allowed to Read and Write.
4) Then, click the lock at the bottom right, unlock it with your admin password if prompted
5) Click the gear and choose "Apply to enclosed items" like so, it may take a few moments to finish:
 

 
6) Reboot your machine, then restart Vectorworks and try installing the libraries.

Nope, same thing happened here in a test, the same odd fins appear even though they have no cage geometry defining them.
 

 
Submitting this as a bug now. VB-139591

Request submitted: VE-96827

Request was submitted awhile ago, but catching up on the cross referencing: VE-94232

Request submitted.

Go to View > Rendering and see if you have Sketch enabled. Set it to Wireframe instead.

Agreed, request submitted: VE-97461

Agree entirely, submitting request now. VE-97276

I get requests from users for this on a regular basis, this is absolutely something we should make much easier and non-destructive. INNOV-242

Agreed! If anyone has not used it before, it looks a little something like this, a collapsible panel that saves you from having to pan around looking for the area you want to focus on next:
 

You can hold Ctrl and drag (a little plus sign will appear next to the cursor) to create a copy, you don't need to ctrl-c first. Ctrl and Shift and drag will copy along a locked axis.

There is an existing issue tracking this as a bug for the moment, I have added this thread to the case: VB-138696

View > Unified View Options > uncheck Ignore Layers with Different Scales.

Nah that one is probably my fault, checking now.

Submitting requests now, some went in as new items and some were added to existing cases:
 
Allow EAPs / Sweeps to use symbols as profile objects: VE-93147
 
Keep/don't convert the original EAP path geometry: VE-96005
 
Path From Selected Edges (select desired edges rather than drawing out a Path object: VE-97174
 
Snaps not only along edges of profile geometry but also path edge/vertices: VE-94923
 
Active preview of EAP during creation / 3D Live draw editing: VE-89734

Maintain separate class and visibility control for separate profile objects: VE-97173

Tools > Options > Vectorworks Preferences > Display There is a "Show other objects while In editing modes" option and under it the setting for greying those objects.

This is an active bug currently being tracked: VB-126062
 
It's been a long time however, I'll stir the case up again.

I really, really like this concept. VE-97100

I think a "Keep as Resource" option during import is the way to go, the image resource should be selectable as both a source image for renderworks textures as well as image fills in addition to being draggable from the resource manager into the document as a bitmap. Submitting request now. VE-97166

Agreed. Request submitted. VE-97163
