Thanks for the help Dave!

Problem still exists as I sit here waiting for something to render that I didn't want to render... and can't cancel. As soon as you hit that last "Publish" button you're locked in.

Did you folks ever get this solved? I'm having the same problem in VWX 2023 - Spotlight. I have some custom decks drawn in, and all of my overhead lighting bleeds straight through the deck and lights up the area underneath.

So here's the problem: The menu options for class, layer, and working plane grey out. Here's the issue: I can't create the problem... it just happens. SOMEtimes, on SOME files. I haven't been able to pinpoint a command or action the precedes the issue. Our company has multiple licenses so I tried hopping onto a different license and had the same issue. It's likely not my computer because it happens on both of my work computers (one is brand new within the last 6 weeks.) Has anyone else had this happen? Know any fixes? Currently my fix is to Save, close the project, reopen the project (problem soved)... and repeat as necessary. It's more annoying than anything... not "Show Stopping". Contacted Customer Support a few weeks ago and haven't heard anything. 2023 Vectorworks Design Suite, Renderworks, Braceworks - SP3 (Also happened on SP2 before I updated) Computer 1: 2017 Macbook Pro i7 Ventura 13.2.1 16GB RAM Computer 2: 2022 Mac Studio M1 Ultra Ventura 13.2.1 64GB RAM

No change. However, I have all of my lighting fixtures organized as LX>[Fix type], and if I turn off each individual layer I get no change, but if I turn off the whole "LX" class, then the problem goes away.

Also just had this happen... Trying to put in truss around video walls. I think it happened when I went to a wide perspective to check the 'audience view'. Now it won't go back, just stuck with layering issues and everything is black. And my backups are corrupted in this same way too so I can't even go back to "earlier in the day" and try again. Copying, deleting, pasting in place didn't solve the issue either.
