Andy Broomell Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 How do I change the color of the black wireframe box which appears when you turn on the Clip Cube? I often work with a dark RW Background, so the Clip Cube is hard to see. I had assumed I could adjust "Clip Cube - Edges" color under Interactive Appearance Settings, but this seems to not be the answer. (What is this element actually affecting?) I can successfully change the "Clip Cube - Solid Fill" color from Red to something else, but the Edges option seems to change nothing. Quote Link to comment
halfcoupler Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 just checked it, I can't even change the solid fill, even if I restart Vectorworks. Another bug with the clip cube is that the shortcut does something else than the menue command, never got an answer to this tread. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 The screen shot you sent is showing the settings for the standard background. You said you are using the Black Background. Click the Black Background "button"/"tab" at the top of the window and try and change it there. Quote Link to comment

Pat Stanford Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Seems broken. I tried in both 2018 and 2017, both White background and black background and could see no difference in changing the Clip Cube Edge Interactive Appearance settings. Quote Link to comment
markdd Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I'm not having this problem and can change the clip cube pen colour fine. (Using a black renderworks background in OpenGL) Something else must be different about my file? Clip Cube.vwx Quote Link to comment
Andy Broomell Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Oh you're right - that option does indeed change the "pen color" (if you will) of the sectioned objects on the cutting plane. So I suppose the conclusion is that there is no way to change the black wireframe outer cube of the Clip Cube? Quote Link to comment
markdd Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Now that WOULD be a good idea. Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Maybe it is controlled by another setting. Looks a bit like the „grayed“ mode or similar. Maybe such a setting could work without much negative impacts elsewhere .... Quote Link to comment
