[Mysterious Pyramid in Site Model over the Locus]

I've input the coordinates by the grid method for a site and when I try to create the site model, there is a mysterious pyramid over the locus and I can't get rid of it. What gives? Thanks!

[Selected Items Don't Show in Object Info Palette]

Everything went back to normal. I just opened a file and it's like nothing ever happened. Freaky. Thanks everyone for all your suggestions but I wonder what happened???

[Selected Items Don't Show in Object Info Palette]

By the way, I have quite Vectorworks and started it again and the problem still comes up. I think it's more than transient.

[Selected Items Don't Show in Object Info Palette]

This is what I thought. I think the program is suddenly corrupted and I need to uninstall and reinstall.

[Best File Compression Software?]

Thanks all!

[Best File Compression Software?]

My files are too large to email and I am wondering what the best compression software is for Vectorworks. I have 2008, Mac OS.

Thanks!

[Selected Items Don't Show in Object Info Palette]

Would this affect all my files?

[Selected Items Don't Show in Object Info Palette]

Yes. Actually ALL of my Vectorworks files behave this way so I think the program itself is corrupted. Does this make sense?

[Selected Items Don't Show in Object Info Palette]

I tried what you suggested and still nothing. When I select something, the object info palette says "nothing selected". It happens with all of the files. Should I uninstall Vectorworks and reinstall it?

[Selected Items Don't Show in Object Info Palette]

Thanks!, I'll try it. I WAS working in 3d but I don't know if I was in 3d or not when this happened.

[Selected Items Don't Show in Object Info Palette]

Help! All of a sudden, when I select an object (eg "wall"), I don't get anything on the Object Info Palette. I have Vectorworks 2008, Mac OS. What changed?

Thanks!

[Linking Layers in 2008]

THANKS,

I'LL try it.

[Linking Layers in 2008]

I've run into another problem. I got the stacked layers and show both floors. However, I can't get select both floors so I can't copy both floors to do a hidden line rendering. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks again.

[Texture not rendering on all sides]

What is odd is that I used a rectangle command and then extruded it. It only renders the sides, not all around so I"m sure it's a closed object. If it didn't render at all, I think then, the object wouldn't be closed.

[Linking Layers in 2008]

Thanks all, I'll try your suggestions.

[Linking Layers in 2008]

Probably simple but the command location has changed from 12. I can't seem to figure out how to link layers in v. 2008. I have a mac OS. Thanks.

[Texture not rendering on all sides]

Vectorworks 2008, Mac OS. Thanks. It's an extruded object

[Texture not rendering on all sides]

Vectorworks 2008, Mac OS. Thanks

[Texture not rendering on all sides]

I can only get the side surfaces of an object to accept textures. What am I doing wrong with the mapping? Thanks!

[Are there any add-on fonts like Chisel Point types?]

[Is there a shortcut for the move command like Autocad?]

Is there a shortcut or icon that can undo/redo like there is in Autocad? Thanks.
