AlanW Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Hi,If you select create on layer and re choose a layer it should become visible. Or select to create a new Layer. HTH Quote Link to comment

idris.davies Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I'm having the same problem. Vecotrworks Architect 2016. It happens often that I can only create a viewport that contains layers from within own document - I'm unable to click the 'Select Source' button ... Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted December 16, 2016 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 16, 2016 Make sure the layer you are going to be creating them on is a Design Layer and not a Sheet Layer. Quote Link to comment
bicameral2 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 was this problem ever solved? i'm having the same issue. Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I think as Jim said you can only create a design layer viewport on a Design layer (stand corrected) Quote Link to comment
FendrickDesign Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 This has driven me crazy so many times, and I always forget how to fix it, but this is what's typically awry for me: in the Organization dialogue box, under the References tab, there's a Settings button; on the lowest setting (Use this method to reference Vectorworks files) the FIRST circle (Design layer viewports) needs to be chosen. Hope this helps, if this was still a problem, or if anyone new is coming to this thread like I was today! 4 Quote Link to comment
