How do I make the smaller leaf of an unequal leaf door unit glazed. All the attribute changes apply to the larger (master) leaf, but don't seem to have any effect on the smaller (slave) leaf.

I created a plugin object using python. The main code was pasted into the script editor via the plugin manager. I compiled the script and the plugin item works as it should. Now I would like to lock the script. I'm on a mac and recently made the jump from Vectorworks 2008 to 2016. In the past when creating a vector script I could lock it by holding down 'command' + 'option' + 'shift' + 'caps lock' (it was important that all external files had the extension .px) Now i'm in 2016 and scripting with Python. I only have 1 other file in addition to "import vs", which is, "import shapes" when i compile my script (shapes.py). It finds this file via the scripts options/environment paths. How do I go about locking or encrypting this plugin object? also, I do have a __init__.py file included in the folder that contains shapes.py

Hello guys, I work in a landscape architecture office and recently we moved from VW2016 to VW2017. So we have this shared Project File that 4-5 people work on at the same time. The problem is when someone sets the order of the overlaying objects in the same layer he's working on and sends the changes to project file, the others get another whole different order of the objects. And this happens also everytime anyone closes the file and opens it again. The Objects remain in their right positions as long as the file is open, but only on your own computer. It seems that VW2017 totally igonres the order of objects or doesn't send it at all to the project file. We worked so far with VW 2014 - 2015 and 2016 and this is the first time this is happening and it's really annoying, since everytime we want to export a sheet layer, we shoud first get inside the respective design layers and redo the objects orders. Also clipping or trimming the overlaying objects is not an option, since we use many symbols, transparent objects, and also it makes the further edits harder. So does anybody know what is the problem? maybe we miss something here? Thank you

Can anyone please tell me how to delete an object when I can't select it. I don't know what class it is in but have tried all of them and yet I still can't delete it. Lynn, St Albans UK
