Solid object invisible to snaps

[Will]

Sometimes objects become unsnappable. As in, their key points are not detected by the tool I am using to edit another object. In the attached video I edit a solid and try to adjust an extrude to snap to another solid object on the layer below. As you can see from the attached video, none of the points on this solid subtraction object are detected by the snap tool, but other solid objects on the same layer are detected. I think this must be a bug, I've noticed it several times in many different projects and versions of vectorworks over the years. The only thing I can think is that there is some way to make objects invisible to the snap tool. Its quite an irritating bug as I really disrupts my train of thought trying to come up with a workaround.

 

Also, if I am working inside an Auto Hybrid object I cannot snap to objects outside of the hybrid object group when in a 3D view, I think this also must be a bug.

I see this too in latest VW 2021.

Even with standard Selection Tool.

 

Can't remember what I do beside hectically scrolling Zoom In/out,

maybe switching between OpenGL and 2D Wireframe until it

works again ...

I have found with this one that placing a 3d locus will snap so I do this then I can snap to the locus.

I've seen this quite a bit in 2021.  I find that changing to a different layer and back fixes the issue and can be done without losing the current view.
