With Vectorworks 2018 (and maybe 2017 - I can't remember) I've been plagued by invisible 3D geometry - especially, and most consistently, by the invisible 3D geometry of hybrid objects contained within hybrid symbols when the 2D component of the host (container) symbol is edited. The geometry is there (in 3D views), as expected: if I hover over it with the cursor, its preselection highlighting shows; and if I select it, its selection highlighting shows, and it's present in the OIP. Otherwise, it's not visible. An exception to this does seem to be walls, which are visible in all cases. See attached file.
Then yesterday I found this post:
Unified View?!? So I tried turning off Unified View and, voila, suddenly, the 3D geometry of hybrid objects is visible in the 2D component of hybrid symbols, as expected!!
I'm guessing this may also apply to the other instances of invisible geometry that I've been experiencing, but those are sporadic and hard to verify.
Of course, having to constantly turn Unified View off and on is not ideal, so hopefully this issue can be confirmed and, maybe along with the invisible 3D loci, be fixed. (I sort of feel like the invisible 3D loci is a problem that was previously resolved, but that has now I guess returned to haunt us some more?...). VWIS112
