Our section viewports are loosing profile line after viewport update. Advanced settings are correctly set up. Has something changed since version 2022 and we have to be aware of or is it bug? Is there some way to fix it in meantime? It is the same for files migrated from 2022 as with newly created in 2023. Anyway, this 2023 release is huge, overwhelmingly rich on new feature and enhancements... so many great improvements. So much work to play with them all! 😄 Well done Vectorworks team!

Using Vw2023 SP1, I modified one of the built-in Elevation Bench Mark styles to my liking (using guidance from @sbarrett in THIS other thread). I added them to my file (started in Vw2022, migrated to Vw2023) and everything looked fine. Now I've returned to that same file several days later, added some more EBMs (using that same EBM Style) to other SL section viewports, and now the EBM Horizontal Leader line is transparent. This has also affected the EBMs that I had placed previously, now they have all lost their Horizontal Leader lines. Sometimes changing the EBM to use an offset leader would trigger the correct Solid color linetype, other times not... SO -- I found that by each time I edit the EBM Style, the Leader Pen Color is changing from Black to White (!?!) This change is also reflected in the placed EBMs in my SLVP annotations. See the attached recording: Note that I am not changing any settings in between the Leader Pen colors changing. ebm color changing.mov I have also attached a sample file with the EBM Style which demonstrates this behavior. What - the what - is going on? I'm really hoping to keep using Vw2023... but... 2023 ebm test.vwx

As a test I rendered a SLVP of a Renderworks Camera in both Redshift Exterior Fast and Renderworks, not changing any materials, only changing the Background Render style, and the windows in the Redshift version show much more refraction than in the Renderworks version. The roof beams are shown accurately in the Renderworks version, but in the Redshift version they have an unrealistic amount of refraction. The windows are standard Window PIOs. (Note: to make sure it wasn't due to some low quality setting on the Redshift Exterior Fast, I also ran a Redshift Exterior Final version and got the same inaccurate results, just muuch more slooowly).

After unsuccessfully trying to install Enscape in VW 2023, I found on Enscape's forum that the two don't work together yet. Is this true? https://forum.enscape3d.com/index.php?thread/21777-vectorworks-2023/&postID=77782#post78128 How can this be? Who changed the coding to let this happen? They worked so well together. Is there something going on here? These are the things that drive users crazy @Wes Gardner@Matt Panzer @KPrice. Does anybody have any answers. The Enscape forum said wait for SP1. What? SP0 just came out. Sorry, I'm so frustrated: I have a new thing and I want to use it.
