A better description of what. you are doing would probably help us to understand what is happening. What do you mean you have added "areas of color"? What kinds of object and how are you setting the colors of those objects?

I think you have to be logged into the forum, not just viewing as a guest to be able to download. I was able to download without issue.

I could not make SetLayerRenderMode to work in either Python or Vectorscript. Even with redraws and rest objects. I dropped back to DoMenuTextByName. import vs # Get the current render mode current_mode = vs.GetLayerRenderMode(vs.ActLayer()) # Check and toggle if current_mode == 11: # Wireframe vs.DoMenuTextByName('Wireframe Render Chunk', 1) # Set to Shaded else: vs.DoMenuTextByName('OpenGL Render Chunk', 1) # Set to Wireframe The following thread has a tutorial on how to make a script into a Plugin Menu command and how to add that command to your workspace and add a keyboard shortcut.

It does work giving them different layer or classes. Classes are better. But after you put the new and old versions in different classes, you have to set your class visibilities to only show one of the two versions. You can control the class visibilities in Viewports by using the Classes... button in the OIP. Or if you need to be able to see them at different times on the design layer you can use Saved Views to have a young view and a mature view. If this is not enough to get you where you need, you need to explicitly tell us exactly what you are doing so we can understand where you are going wrong.

Create a Workgroup Folder in a location that is accessible to both computers (Dropbox, Google Drive) available to offline-access. Store the objects in the proper folder of the workgroup folder so you can access them from either machine.

There was another thread recently talking about objects being located at a Z height of something huge (e305) but I can't find it right now. It sounds like part of your problem is the "far out object" issue stemming from objects being more than 5 km from the origin in any direction. There may be another thread about far our object by Jesse

Or save a step and edit the TBB settings first before you make the style from the unstyled object. You can also access the TBB (and other plug-in styles) from the resource manager and edit them from there.

What type of an object is it? Maybe you need to edit the object back to the original 2D "creation objects" and see how it regenerates. Or copy/paste that into a new file and post it here for us to take a look.

Edit Pane:

Check the 2D and 3D Conversion Resolution in Vectorworks Preferences. That looks like they may be set to low.

And my daughters want a pony. 😉

Use Wireframe instead of Shaded. Turn off the Grey Other Objects option.

If you are to the point of having to get rid of thumb drives to have enough space, I think you need a bigger office. 😉😂

Probably not. Installers back to 2014 are available from the Customer Portal.
