Layer(s) Turned Off, But Remain On

[CW2020]

On VWX2022 there's times I turn off a layer, but it remains on. The attached screenshot shows layer "GRIDLINE - GRADE BEAM" turned off... confirm by looking at the Navigation pallete. And I selected the object (gridlines) that's on that layer... confirm by looking at the Object Info pallete. Any thoughts are appreciated.

The Active Layer (and Active Class) the one with the check mark is always visible regardless of the visibility settings.

Thanks, Pat.

 

And yes, I clearly understand your point. In this case though, the active layer is "GRIDLINE" ...which has a check mark in Navigation visible. The layer "GRIDLINE - GRADE BEAM" is turned off in Navigation... also visible. But "GRIDLINE - GRADE BEAM" (in actuality) is still on... both visible and interactive. It's technically turned off, but it functions as if it's on. In the image, I have an object (which should not be visible) on "GRIDLINE - GRADE BEAM" selected and it's attributes reading in the Object Info Pallette.

 

Am I missing something?

To maybe add clarity, the glimpse of the gridline in the image with the "P.37" marker, is selected and on layer "GRIDLINE - GRADE BEAM." That layer is turned off (as you can see in Navigation). It's shouldn't be visible. I definitely shouldn't be able to select it. Unless I'm missing something... which may very be the case.

I have no idea what is going on.

 

Have you tried restarting VW?

Can you post the file (or a subset showing the problem) here for us to take a look at?

[CW2020]

Yes, I've restarted and such. I even removed then re-uploaded the entire program. The problem has been occurring over multiple files a dozen times a day. I've tried recreating it on a test file, but haven't been successful. And the files it's occurring on are in the 600MB range.... too large to upload.

 

Anyways, thanks Pat.

I'll follow-up in additional postings. But as a follow-up to you Pat, moments after my last posting my my Tool Sets pallette disappeared from being docked on the left side of my VWX window. I go to turn it on, and now it's a solid black square (see attached). I repeated this several times with no fix. And yes, it was corrected by turning VWX off and back on. Between crashes and bugs like this however, I probably need to restart VW several times a day, most days across 10 versions 6 Mac's over 15 years.

I don't know what to tell you. What you are experiencing is not typical of most users. 

 

Send a file that does this regularly to Tech Support and see if they can find a problem.  If it is repeatable, VW definitely wants to find the problem and fix it. The hard part is getting a repeatable case to be able to figure out what is happening.
