VW2009 problem: objects not selectable

[doug shaffer]

Hi -

VW2009 SP2(build 99197)

iMac intel osX 10.5.6

We have been using VW2009 for several weeks now. I started a new file in VW2009 and have been working on it for several weeks now. On several occasions, I have had a problem that is a little hard to describe.

Occasionally when I switch to a design layer that contains any number of objects (lines, walls, PIO windows and doors, etc) all or most of the objects are "gray" and NOT selectable. It is as if they are locked somehow, but they can not be unlocked because they are not selectable.

For example, on my screen right now is a design layer that has 40 or so walls, some wide flange columns, some doors and windows. Nothing is selectable except for the wide flange columns and two windows. (all other windows are grayed out)

I should also note that I CAN snap to all of the grayed objects, and smart cursor cues appear.

Also, I can quit the program, restart the computer and problem persists.

PLEASE HELP! (and yes, we have a good backup system)

Thanks -

Hello everyone -

I discovered my problem. Somehow I managed to change the class visibility of the problematic objects to gray. I don't know how I managed to do it, but it was obviously my dumb mistake. Thanks for your replys, and sorry for any unnecessary head scratching I caused.

don't be upset, this happens a lot. Class options are one of the things to check when your selections don't work
