    Hello, I am new to this program and tried making a simple program in simulation where when you use a dip switch a lamp activates. It works fine but when I put in the visuals, I get the error listed in the title. I am also getting two warnings, "missing elements configuration, element may not be usable". How can I fix this? Thank you.

    Hello.

    I am a new user. On generating the first test project I am receiving this error message.

    You are using inconsistent overlay settings, please check your compilerdefines for the current application (-> GENERATE_OVERLAY_VISU) and the setting within the visualization manager.

    Can anyone help?

    Disable the setting "Support client animations and overlay of native elements" in the Visu Manager.

    Activating this setting should also set a compiler define (GENERATE_OVERLAY_VISU).

    Maybe the compiler define is set and the feature is not activated in the visu manager or or the other way round..

    rightclick the Application -> Properties -> Build
