my name is Francesco and I am a Vectoworks user with very limited experience. Also, this is my firs post in the forum so apologies if I break some rules.
I have an issue I can't seem to work around regarding hiddenl line render mode on viewports.
If I render a top plan view (not the regular 2D plan view) in perspective (either straight by option menu or a personal value), the resulting viewport will consistently have the same issue: vectorworks won't render some lines (bottom of the baseboard) or entire elements (everything but the net opening in windows) (IMG-01), while everything works perfectly fine in the design layer with the exact same settings for HL render, classes and layers (IMG-02).
The same problem is not present in a perspective section cut (IMG-03).
In IMG-04 and 05, you can see that shaded and x-ray render modes show a perfect representation of the model.
If I cut a an horizontal section instead, the problem is solved but either doing so with a clip cube or with the "creat horizontal section cut" command results in very funny perspective and camera issues when switching from orthogonal view (IMG-06)... If anybody could solve these, then this might be workaround I needed!
Also, the problem is not resolved by changing the class, the attributes or the type of the windows and dashboards.
This is happening on both my PC and my laptop and I don't recall having this issue up until very recently. I was working on a furniture job, one dark day it happened.
I might be over anxious but I sincerely hope this is not a core problem... I hope it's lil' ol' me messing up.
PS: you see one more window in the section cut because I wanted to see if bringing in an unstyled element solved the problem, which it does not.

Good morning everybody,

Thanks a lot to whoever will answer this, bye!
