Chris Dordoni Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 Hello, It appears that some functions are missing after having updated to 10.5.0, (21095). I am on Mac OS 9.2.1 and using Carbon Lib 1.6 as required. None of the additional functions that should appear in the "Model" menu show up. Other new functions, such as in the 3D Tools palette, are there. Note that I already have uninstalled and dumped the preferences, and then reinstalled 10.1 from CD, 10.1.2 patch, and 10.5 patch so I'm pretty sure its not my system. Perhaps I have a "bad" 1.5 patch??? I'll be away for a few days, so I won't be able to respond to any questions until I return late Thursday. Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment
MikeB Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 You have to add the new functions to your existing workspace. Or you can use one of the preset workspaces. Quote Link to comment
Adam E Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 I just started playing with VW10.5 today and noticed that some of the new tools are missing in action. I had to manually add the Protrusion/Cutout tool and the Revolve with Rail tool using the workspace editor. This is a little annoying as I would expect any new tools to be already part of the workspace (how else would I know they even exist if I didn't read every page of the tutorial pdf?). Bottom line: try finding tools that you want in the workspace editor and manually add them on. Quote Link to comment
Chris Dordoni Posted September 15, 2003 Author Share Posted September 15, 2003 Mike and Adam, Thanks for the Workspace editior tip ... this worked. I agree, it is odd that new functions would have to be added this way, though I suspect it is due to the plugin or modular nature of the program. Regards, Chris Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 When you updated to VW 10.5 - were you using a custom workspace you created, or one of the standard workspaces that comes with VW? If you were using a custom workpsace, that may explain why the menu's weren't there. It's still weird though. Quote Link to comment
Adam E Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 I was using a custom workspace. Quote Link to comment

If you're using a custom workspace, we're not going to modify that with an update; consider how many complaints we would get about messing up people's nicely laid-out tool palettes and menus if we did.

Chris Dordoni Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 Hi, I'm not using a custom workspace, though I am using templates. However, none of my templates use a custom workspace. I noticed the functions were "missing" using the default project that opens when VW is loaded, as well as with my template files. Chris Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 iF you are missing certain menus and commands you think you should have, make sure you are in the correct workspace by going to File>Workspaces. You may be in the Standard workspace which would cause a number of menus and palettes to not be available. Quote Link to comment
Chris Dordoni Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 Thanks Katie, Yes, I am using the standard workspace. I have added the new tools and commands as others here haver indicated, by using the workspace editor. Chris Quote Link to comment
