[the beach ball just keeps spinning and spinning and spinning...]

It was a suggestion that possibly fixes the problem, as you can see I have 2 different iMacs of which neither show this problem.

[the beach ball just keeps spinning and spinning and spinning...]

a hard drive cannot do a full repair on itself a better result is achieved by using another mac or external startup drive or even an usb stick with OS.

I suspect the mac behaviour is not related to VW

[the beach ball just keeps spinning and spinning and spinning...]

do a disk repair preferably by firewiring your computer to an other mac in target mode

[heliodon]

Also check "Visualization" palette very handy

[Corner Windows]

Or do I misunderstand the problem?

[3D Structural Grid]

Would this work for you?

Bubble grids on layer planes

[View question]

I would use your first option

[WinDoor 17 config]

make sliding door left or right and choose 4 doors

[Pad tool wont work]

set a side view and position your pad manually and check oip, i think you'll find it is the z height and make sure your boundary is not intersecting with the pad, you'll get there

[Editing 2D symbols opens them rotated...and that's bad!]

does this also happen when you right click them in the resource browser?

[putting your lighting Legend on your sheet layer?]

put it on a design layer and use a viewport to scale on a sheet layer

[exporting graphics as jpeg image]

You can draw a marquee which will eliminate a white border

[elevation model in shade...]

one can actually use the visualization palette, better than classes even

[elevation model in shade...]

not that I know off, I create a lighting design layer with 4 directional lights @ 45deg, 135deg, 225deg and 315deg each in their own class add that layer to your VP and switch on required class to give you a different 45deg shadow on each elevation

[viewports border]

set your crop outline (original crop object) to a line weight of 0

[Section Viewport Text]

put your annotations in the viewport not on the design layer

[No color fill behind text]

see attached

[dormer wall join]

You'll have to split the wall horizontally, make sure wall 2 is in the same location but z height exactly on top of wall1

[Associative Dimensioning]

What is this VW on iPad?

[Dimensions bug?]

Indeed switches sides when zooming in, in these instances in screenshot on the left edited when zoomed out, when zoomed in it asked if I wanted to disolve troublesome associations if answered in the affirmative this was the result, when associated dimension came in they moved the whole wall now it is a bit hit and miss

[Live three-point perspective sections?]

You mean this?

Set up design layer section VP go to top plan set up camera set up sheet VP

[Finicky Resource Browser]

does this problem persist if one logs in on a guest account?

[Finicky Resource Browser]

log in as guest user and check, maybe reinstall

[Dutch Hip Grayed Out]
