rlb Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Hi, Selecting lines and objects highlights them but WITHOUT the handles allowing resizing. Prefernece box is checked (see image attached). I've tried restarting VW 2023 (Mac OS 13.2.1 on iMac 2019). Any ideas? RLB in Bro Quote Link to comment
0 Tom W. Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Check which mode the Selection Tool is in. Sounds like you are in 1st mode, 'Disabled Interactive Scaling' Quote Link to comment
0 VIRTUALENVIRONS Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I notice this even in VW18. It is only when I am working with NURBS and the Reshape tool. The object will stay highlighted, but no selection handles. What I do is deselect it, then reselect it with the Arrow tool, and then reshape. The handles seem to return then, but it is odd.

0 Pat Stanford Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 To expand on Tom's answer, the 2D selection tool has three modes, the first is No Interactive Resize. It means that if you have that mode selected you will be able to move the object but not resize it, so you will not get the selection handles. The second and third modes are Single object and Multiple object resize respectively. Check that you don't have the mode pointed to my the orange arrow in the screen shot below selected. 1 Quote Link to comment
0 rlb Posted June 21, 2023 Author Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) To Pat and Tom, Thank you for the prompt and accurate reply! Worked like a charm. I always wondered what those symbols up there stood for and did. The VW Community is just amazing. A graduate (and undergrad) education in Vectorworks. Thanks again to all.

Question
rlb
Hi,
Selecting lines and objects highlights them but WITHOUT the handles allowing resizing. Prefernece box is checked (see image attached).
I've tried restarting VW 2023 (Mac OS 13.2.1 on iMac 2019).
Any ideas?
