Matt Brown Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Why do I get an "x" at each end of the my window and door opens? See attached. Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 These are 2D loci which control where the wall gets cut in Plan View. They are in the NonPlot Class and if you can see them that is either the active Class or you have that Class visible. The NonPlot Class should always be set to not visible. It is the Class that is used for drawing elements that are not meant to be seen. Quote Link to comment
Andy Broomell Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Also, FYI, locus points don't print and never get exported to PDFs. Locus points are simply points in space (X,Y) and are indicated in Vectorworks with the X glyph. You can add your own with the 2D Locus tool (hotkey "0" zero). There is also a 3D Locus tool which incorporates Z coordinates as well. Quote Link to comment
Matt Brown Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 I've set the NonPlot to "not visible" but they didn't go away. Thank you for the responses and help! Quote Link to comment
Matt Brown Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 I'm a Vectorworks novice. I'd like to employ the services of those who are more expert. I basically use the software to create home floor plans and small commercial new build and remodel projects. Is there a place online where I can employ the services of those that are more expert?

Pat Stanford Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Did you set NonPlot to Active as well as invisible? The Active class (the one checked) is always visible regardless of the other class visibility settings. So if you make a class active and invisible it still shows. The next time you make another class active those objects should hide. Quote Link to comment
Andy Broomell Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 You can see what class is controlling the Loci by selecting a Door, clicking Settings, then in the 2D Visualization section looking at what the "2D Loci" are assigned to. If this class is turned off and is not active, then the Loci should not be visible. Quote Link to comment
Andrew Davies Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Or "force select" a loci (right click then choose force select directly over a loci) and you can see what class it's in in the info palette Quote Link to comment

Instead it just selects the entire Door object. Quote Link to comment
LCarm Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I"m having this same issue but everywhere nodes/loci are showing up. I have nonplot not visible and class for loci on doors are nonplot. hide guides is set. Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Are you saying those loci in the drawing appeared without you placing them there? If you select one what class is it in? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 The Active Class is always visible. If NonPlot is active then the objects in that class will be visible. Quote Link to comment
LCarm Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I have my floor layout as active and active class as none. Yes, I was working on this file and everything was going swimmingly and then I inserted a 2nd double patio sliding door and the entire drawing started giving me loci when drawing new rectangles or inserting doors. I closed and restarted VW and they were still there. You can see in the second clip, the first slider I inserted has no issues, that work was done yesterday. Did I accidentally turn on some setting I'm not familiar with? I have not tried printing yet but it is distracting while modeling. Im attaching the file for reference. Thank you! 20.10.21 G ave 839 v2021.vwx Quote Link to comment
LCarm Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I figured it out.... my linetype was set to fence! 🙃 1 Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Brilliant! Have you noted that one for future reference @Pat Stanford ? 😁 1 1 Quote Link to comment
RLL Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hi, continuing with the visible loci points topic as above- how do I make the non plot invisible please. Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Just click in the 2nd column next to that class in the Visibility palette to make it invisible Quote Link to comment
RLL Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Many thanks Tom W - feel pretty foolish now to have asked the q in the first place :)) Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Definitely no need to feel foolish! All questions are valid 1 Quote Link to comment
