In Vectorworks 2021, in a blank file, I create a simple extrude and apply, say, a brick texture. When I activate the Attributes Mapping tool, I'm asked to convert to "Plane." For whatever reason, the reshape grips are at the file's origin, but there's a hand-with-rectangle icon that lets me click on any surface of the extrude, after which the mapping plane is applied to that surface, and I can manipulate the reshape grips as desired. I can even click on the 3D axes if I'm looking for a little extra misery; getting back to the reshape grips from those axes can be a bit of a challenge.
But in Vectorworks 2022, when I repeat the process, things seem quite different... When I activate the Attributes Mapping tool, there's no request for "Plane." Instead, a set of reshape grips appears on each face of the extrude, along with the hand-with-rectangle icon. After which the happiness comes to an abrupt end. Wherever I click, the extrude becomes fully rendered (instead of just the single tile associated with each set of grips); the reshape grips are nowhere to be found; the 3D axis can't be selected; and what appears to be an attributes mapping plane remains visible.
