Robert HG Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I want to get rid of this thing, I find it distracting. Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) This is a new mode for the selection tool, added in v2024. Change the mode in the Mode Bar of your Vwx interface - the modes are in the upper left corner of your screen. Choose instead one of the other modes by clicking one of the other 3 icons. I will get back to keyboard and offer an image, if others do not post before. -B Edited April 19 by Benson Shaw 1 Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 You can also use the U key (American keyboard version) to toggle between the different Selection Tool modes. 1 Quote Link to comment
Robert HG Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 (edited) Can y'all explain this behavior then? Why does part of the mode bar change? And then never go back? And why does the gray handle never disappear after I go to the transform mode once, but isn't present initially? New error.mov Edited April 19 by Robert HG Wrong video 1 Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I think I saw posts about this but can't find them now. I think it just affects Disabled Interactive Scaling Mode (i.e. the 3D Dragger is only present when it's not meant to be in this mode). It is a bug but I only use Unrestricted Interactive Scaling Mode so have never experienced it myself. Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 What OS and Vectorworks version are you using? It looks like a bug. I'm on a Mac (current versions of both) and don't see the same behaviour. The only difference I can see is you've dismissed the interactive scaling warning dialog (see attached). Kevin Quote Link to comment

Kevin Actually if you change modes while the dragger is set to Re-position mode it happens for me too. Move it off reposition mode and it resets (graphic attached. reposition mode is the one with the arrow, move it to the other one). Definitely a bug. Kevin Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I see it in both Re-position + Translate + Rotate modes. Can't recall if bug has already been filed Quote Link to comment
Robert HG Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 I am using Ventura 13.5 and an M2 Macbook Pro with 16 GB of RAM. If I need to add this as a bug, I am happy to, but I don't know how to do that. Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) The Gizmo only appears in 1st and 4th Mode. When you switch to 2nd or 3rd Mode, there is no Gizmo. In the Video you switched through all Modes already, but you Selected in Mode 1 and 4 only, the ones with Gizmo visible .... Why it does appear in 1st Mode at all - no own knows ...

Is there any way to not have it appear in the 1st mode? As I don't want to translate in that mode. Also, it doesn't always work in that way, as seen in this video. It seems a flag/boolean value gets set once entering the 4th mode for the first time, which then makes the "gizmo" appear in the first mode. Same error 2.mov Edited April 19 by Robert HG Quote Link to comment

Benson Shaw Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) 5 hours ago, Robert HG said: Is there any way to not have it appear in the 1st mode? Yes, sort of. The dragger remains, or reappears, if Mode changes from #4 to #1. But if mode is toggled from #1 to #2 (or #3), then back to #1, the dragger disapparates (nod to H. Potter & Co.) Still a bug, but can workaround easily. -B Edited April 20 by Benson Shaw A is for apparate 2 Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I wonder if this is related to the other thing I'm noticing with the Selection Tool recently: it keeps changing to the first mode (Disabled Interactive Scaling) of its own accord. 1 Quote Link to comment
