Thank you for your help. With regards to the polygon issue, what you describe is exactly what I generally try to do. I have tried both paste in place as well as simply paste - after clicking on the desired location. Only inside 3d objects does this happen. I guess it comes down to the fact that sometimes I have to get info from a coworkers file, or maybe one of my own that I have copied/moved objects around.

@grant_PD I see. Thank you.

@Robert Anderson If I want to create a parametric symbol that I merely want to customize to different lengths, how would I do that? These symbols are hybrid and have text linked to them. I would like for the 2d shape to adjust to the same length as the 3D extrusion. Mark

Ah. I see. Thanks!

Thanks. Sounds like the better choice of the 2. Unfortunately, Apple no longer makes RAM upgradeable, as it is soldered in place. That makes me sad. Can Video cards be upgraded after market?

Our office uses Macs. I work in 3D and render complicated files all day. I also work with Adobe Creative Cloud. I am required to choose from available computers with a preferred vendor, so my options are limited. Though my files tend to be around 50-60 Megs – once or twice a week vwx crashes. Here are the 2 computer options I have to choose from. Which one is better? (Essentially, the choice is between processing power and ram) 16" MacBook Pro 2.3GHz 8‑core 9th‑generation Intel Core i9 processor 16GB DDR4 memory AMD Radeon Pro 5500M with 4GB memory 1TB SSD storage OR 'Older' model 15.4" 2.9GHz 6‑core 8th‑generation Intel Core i9 processor 32GB DDR4 memory AMD Radeon Pro 560 X with 4GB memory 2TB SSD storage

I made sure that option is on, but it is still not working correctly.

Thank you Tamsin. That worked, but the light is shining through my walls. How do I correct that? Mark

I have started using light instruments and when I render, there is no illumination. See attached image. The selected instrument is a light instrument. The others are standard light objects. Thank you, Mark
