Select System Object not working

Recommended Posts

Yes, I have double checked. I have switched workspaces. It does the same whether I use my library or factory VW symbols. Its happening in both 24 and 25. 

 

I have gone as far as even uninstalling and reinstalling VW. I wish I could figure it out. 

If I change the trim height it moves the fixtures with it but they will not select when using the "select system objects" command.

 

I have also noticed when I change trim height it doesnt go where I tell it too. If I type in 25' the truss goes to 24'6".

I've been having an issue lately that when I use the select systems command it will only select rigging objects and no longer selects lighting or audio. 

Hello N.

 

 

I've tried each truss system in both sample files using the same VW 2025 you're using and I'm able to select system objects without issue. Would you please make a video so we can see your steps. Here's my video. 
Or, am I misunderstanding the workflow you're using?

Do you have a sample file showing this? All the truss in the samples you shared show the same trim and z values. When I move them to the new height, they report accurately. 

Is it possible you are changing the height of a truss that has a 90° roll applied? If yes, that makes sense as the trim is from the lowest part of the truss and the insertion point of a rolled truss would be different due to the rolled angle.
