imported dwg file to vectorworks cant insert doors in new walls

[M.Derrick]

I imported a dwg file with no problems, scale is good etc.

I was adding walls with no problem but then went to insert a door and it willnot let me pick that option. or windwos either.

I can add columns and stairs and other features from the building shell but cant seem to get doors.

Now drawing from scratch puting a door into a wall is easy.

just on imported dwg files I have the problem.

any ideas?

I've come across this before. The dwg has classes called "window" and "door" I'll wager. Try renaming them. Works for me.

yes that worked great. thanks. I was pulling out what little hair I have left trying to figure that one

Thanks again
