snapping

I have Sound Forge Pro 18 How do I tell if snapping is enabled or not? Particularly, snap to zero crossings. I know where to find these options; Options > Snapping, but the buttons don't change color or anything to indicate whether they are active or not.

Also, my RX Declick, Dehum, and some other plugins failed to install. Sound Forge heir buttons show in the default layout but I get a message saying they aren't installed when I try to use them. I'm pretty sure they downloaded. Does anyone know the default filepath to where the installation files are?They aren't in downloads unless they are hiding under another name or something. I'm using Windows 11; Rysen 9 CPU Idoubt the rest of my setup info makes any difference. Thanks

There should be is a blue box at the far left of the items that that enabled. See the screen-shot.. I have Enable, Snap to Event, Edge and Zero Crossings selected, Grid and Markers are disabled.. IMO it would be nice if the boxes were more obvious,

Are the RX plug-ins folder listed in the VST search menu. If the they are VST-3 format, they would be in the 'Program Files> Common files> VST3' folder. Have the ybeen activated through iZotope?

btw, welcome to the Magix Sound Forge users community @John-Husted.

I just shut down Sound Forge for the night but will look for the little blue squares tomorrow. I clicked on them several times and didn't spot a difference. I wound up just zooming in and clicking a spot that obviously weren't zero crossings while fiddling with enable and snap to 0 crossings until I hit the right combination. I agree, it needs to be more obvious.

Plug ins didn't come up in a windows search and I'm pretty sure I manually checked that folder. I've become pretty familiar with likely spots VST's wind up from installing various instruments to use in Cubase 14. Now I'm about finished with the composing phase of my first song since about 2008, it's time to start fiddling with FX VST's. I had Cubase VST 32 v5 back then with Wavelab. Cubase 14 has certainly come a long way, so have VST instruments. I'm looking forward to playing with the current generation of FX, especially, the AI enchanced stuff. Thanks for your help!
