0 michaelk Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 You probably have a styled wall. You have two choices. Edit the wall style. In the OIP 3rd from the top is the pull down for style. I'm guessing it does not say "Unstyled". click that pull down and choose edit style to change every wall in the drawing using that style OR click the pull down and choose replace to choose a different wall style. OR Unstyle the wall. Click the pulldown and choose "Convert to Unstyled Wall" Now you can click on Components… in the OIP to edit the selected walls components OR Delete all the components to get a "default" unstyled wall whose thickness can be controlled directly in the OIP.

0 Jonathan Pickup Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 if the wall is styled, then you should not be allowed to edit the wall thickness. If the wall has components, then you should not be allowed to edit the wall thickness, afterall, which component should adjusted? I wonder if your wall has components? Quote Link to comment
0 Ornette Posted March 13, 2023 Author Share Posted March 13, 2023 hi, thanks - the wall is unstyled and has no components Quote Link to comment
0 michaelk Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Can you copy the wall into a blank file and post it? Quote Link to comment

0 michaelk Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I tried in both 2022 and 2023 and it works as expected. It looks like you are using an older version that that. What version of VW, what kind of computer, and which operating system are you using? Quote Link to comment
0 Ornette Posted March 13, 2023 Author Share Posted March 13, 2023 ok that might be it - I am upgrading both computer and vw in the next few weeks Quote Link to comment
0 michaelk Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 This should let you know if your system is out of sync w/ Vectorworks: https://www.vectorworks.net/sysreq If that's not it, I have no idea how your wall got broken 🙂 Quote Link to comment
