                Hi Tim,
Sometimes the Display in Wireframe does not display anything. But The Display with shading works.
Like in the attached project with a 50x50x50 blue cube. I have observed this behavior 3 or 4 times.
kind regards Danny
(Tested on Sonoma 14.3)

Strange : if I change color of one face of the cube, and then move this face ---> The color change is canceled and .... the wireframe is back working..
Is it a hint Tim ?

There is a Move Face feature operation with a move direction of (0,0,0) which is invalid. If you Remove Feature, it should be ok.
I need to see if I can recreate how that move feature of (0,0,0) got assigned and correct.

                @Tim, Thanks, I have only observed the missing wireframe issue with the new 1649 build and only after assigning colors to two or more individual faces with "Select Deep" and by change the color via the context menu or inspector. Then when changing the colors again it sometimes happens..... (I probably also did som rotation of the view with the navigator which I use a lot)

                Thanks Danny for the background info.  I suspect when we are clicking on the face it is somehow detecting a face drag and putting that bad feature into the tree. That should be enough info for me to check  further into a fix.

                Hi Tim,
I noticed a minor issue with the display of a hexagon cut-out in a solid with 14.10-1649 ViaCAD pro.  After adding a 30 degree chamfer on the hexagon edge cut-out, one edge will display an incorrect chamfer angle. This was also the case in the previous WIP version.

Same trouble with "Two length" chamfer.

 This is fixed in the next build impacting Mac and Windows builds.  Same for radial menu.

                Using build 1649 I can't seem to change an objects layer from the inspector window. I select an object, go to inspector attributes pane and the Layer drop down - select a different layer and "apply" and the layer goes back to what it was. If I right click on the object and select Layer and choose a different layer, that seems to work.
I'm on a Mac: 13.6.4.
I also just noticed that I can now deep select a face and change the color of that face, but if I save the file, close it and re-open the file the colors are gone. If I select the face again, the "Object Pen" shows the color that I set it to, but it just displays the base color of the object.

For me it is the opposite.  It just resort back to Two length possibly from a previous design which uses two lengths.  Now with any file it will not move to any other choice then to Two Lengths.

Would it be possible for you to post a file that does not work.  It may be a object type I'm not testing.

                Hello Tim,
using ViaCAD Pro with Powerpack build 1649 on Windows 10 Pro and found following subjects not working for me:
- Tool window 'Render Library': only item 'HDR Backgrounds' is selectable, not 'Backgrounds', 'Materials' or 'Texture'. If I'm trying to select one of the last 3 items 'HDR Backgrounds' stays selected.
- Trying to use 'Object Animate' is only successful if I choose 'OpenGL to Screen', except for the attached texture which is removed throughout the movement. After the movement the texture is recovered.
  'PhotoRender to Movie' is rendering 21 frames in spite of the setting '# Frames' = 20.
  The Progess Window' isn't showing a preview.
  Sometimes no AVI-File is generated. I have no idea what that depends on. In this cases even no file 'lux_log.txt' is generated.
  When an AVI file is created, the first bytes do not appear to have any meaningful content. I've attached a screenshot of my hex-reader.
