Hi Michael, Yes, I found that to be true. The file was originally started for a project in 2015 that I'm revisiting.. it's been opened and updated several times, which I think has caused some anomalies in addition to the differences in wall display in 2026.. def. a bit of a pain to go through the entire file for such things as screen plane items, wall cut planes, old door objects and it goes on and on. etc etc etc

This didn't work for me, aa number of objects were found, but the custom modification palette that appears is unable to change the attribute from screen to layer plane. The quickest way I know is to use the Custom Modification command from the Tools Menu and set the selection criteria to Plane > Screen. Then change everything to Layer in the Object Properties box that appears. You can make sure that it looks inside groups as well..... You can also set the tool to create a script which will semi-automate the process after that.

@Pat Stanford thanks for the quick response, being a relatively seasoned user, that was the very first thing I checked, and it was indeed set to Show/Snap/Modify Others.

Hi All, Recently, I've been having one of those vexing but all too common experiences. i.e.: In a particular file, many elements (walls, windows etc) are not highlighting on hover and some others are. Makes the file hard to work with. I'm still in the process of solving this problem, but one of my first steps was to run the repair utility.. The result was "Found and repaired 347 files." OK, so I ran it again... same result.. "Found and repaired 347 files." Since I have a very fast internet connection, I installed a fresh copy, the ran the repair utility on the brand new copy... same result. I know that we're not supposed to put too much stock into the results of the repair utility.. but this seems strange.. Any comments, thoughts, similar experiences? Is it possible that the install utility doesn't have permission to do the file modification that the repair requires? blah, blah, blah... Thanks.

this plugin works well... thanks to @The Hamma

Just a comment.. all this fiddling is really non-mac like. I can only speak for myself, as I do have decent technical abilities. Downloading an installer, and keeping the incremental updates, can be very helpful for customizing an installation to deal with bugs that inevitably occur on either the OS side or the VW side. ex> Maybe I'd want to do an installation of VW on a new machine that would be then updated to something less than the most recent version.. the new system makes this type of thing more of a pain.

Thanks @Tim Ardoin, very easy solution.

Question still remains.. is there a .dmg available to download? I do have some (limited) command line abilities, but would like to download a dmg for easy re-installs if necessary later.

Thanks Pat.

I assume that layer and class visibility cannot be changed in the viewer.. can anyone weigh in to confirm?

Hi All, Just checking in to see if anyone is using the Sequoia Beta as their daily driver.. and if so, which one.. Public, Developer, 15.1 with Apple Intelligence?.. curious about VW usability, stability etc.

I'm getting serious lags on 14.6, on a very simple residential remodel file where I'm testing some different roof intersections. Simple geometry.

In my experience.. VW has been stable on (developer beta 4) (by my fairly limited testing) with a medium size file consisting of a residential remodel including a site model, and a number of worksheets.. HOWEVER.. Sequoia itself kernel panics on sleep, forcing a restart.. so it's not usable for me yet.

FYI, I've had the same experience, certain surfaces that should render as white, render as black.. I'll let the forum know if I come up with a solution or contact support.
