Kim Robert Solar Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 No doubt this topic has been dealt with before, but for those of us just encountering it now a refresh will be appreciated. The problem: Vectorworks 2018 Online Help cannot execute a Search command. Whatever is entered as the search topic, the search just loops endlessly. Seems odd that the Help Tool is not working! In particular I am trying to recall the technique of using the Drape Tool on a DTM to get a simpler carrier of the aerial texture ... no luck draping my current DTM regardless of number of U/V points.

markdd Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Are you using the Safari browser? I have the same problem. Try Chrome. It works fine with that. Quote Link to comment
Kim Robert Solar Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 thanks but a bit problematic since I work in a large firm and IT will have to get involved to change the browser (Explorer) ... I heard from a colleague that some downloadable fix was floating around but I can't find it ... his machine is Mac; I am (reluctantly) PC. Ever hear of the fix? I've just joined this forum ... a reply in 8 minutes is great! maybe will get more involved. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I don't have any problems with search using Safari 11.0.3 or Chrome 64.0.xxxxx. I wonder if your friends in IT are blocking something? Quote Link to comment

Use this menu command with the site model selected. 15 hours ago, Kim Robert Solar said: The problem: Vectorworks 2018 Online Help cannot execute a Search command. If you manually navigate to:Program Files\Vectorworks 2018\VWHelp\HTML5\index.html and open that with Explorer, does the search work there? If not, then the issue is usually browser related.
