[SML] VW Objects not displaying after insertion

[Jon Ares]

Andrew, did you get any response on this? I have had this happen in the
past as well, and somehow it's either corrected itself, or I jostled
something, and it came back to life, but I have no idea what I did.

I've got a (similar? related?) problem with one plot (currently in VW2024)
- I have two fixtures in use that I can't find anywhere on the plot/file.
I've looked through every layer, every class... nothing.  The paperwork
lists them, and with correct data, but i just can't find the fixtures -
like their hidden. Their brethren show just fine, it's just two fixtures...
and so your post reminded me that maybe they're suffering from the same
affliction....

 - Jon
