No workaround necessary. Use the Texture Tool from the Basic Palette to apply an individual color texture to each face. The only work you need to do is make the individual color textures.

There is no out-of-the-box solution just yet; however, I posted this method a few weeks ago.

I have had no problem selecting Data Tags with this tool. But it's not Data Tags that you have asked to select is it? I have found that selecting objects with the same Data Record with matching data entries will select just fine using Database records as the only criteria. Try it with this file..... Database Records criteria.vwx

I tried it on a Data Tag with a record attached before posting the earlier comment, and it worked fine. Now and then, I can't select objects because this button was selected in the mode bar by mistake - Could that be the problem?

Also, try the Select Similar tool with Database Records Active.

I don't think the ganging tool has been updated in quite some time, certainly not to work with Schematic Views. So no, you'll just need to draw polylines instead.

Glad that was the answer!

Ungroups fine for me too.... However, I see this alert. I wonder if, at some point you activated the "always do" check box and this is reason why you are seeing this problem. Try reverting the alerts back to the defaults from the Reset Saved Settings in Vectorworks preferences.

If you hover your mouse over the referenced symbol listing in the Resource Manager, a popup modal will appear, showing you the Name of the Resource, it's Resource type, and it's referenced source file name. If you select a referenced symbol in the design layer, then in the Object Information Palette, there will be a "Source:" field, which will give you the referenced file name as well.

How about Hidden Line? Also dashed hidden line looks like wireframe if you set the dash to a continuous line type.

To remove the crosshairs, you must select the truss object and set the pen to none. The crosshairs are always assigned to the class of the whole Truss object.

If you add the info retrospectively, then it will not be registered by any existing Truss items that have already been added to the drawing area. If you delete and add the Truss object again and then refresh the worksheet, all will be well. I hope that helps Mark

Trusses have no edit behaviour, but go back the symbol in the resource manager and edit the 3d and you should be fine.

This sounds like an interesting workaround, but I'm not sure I understand the process. Could you elaborate or maybe share a file? Many thanks

Works now! A straight Truss is best for this - especially as this is not designed to connect with another Truss object? Chord snapping is the key to it.
