Visual Style Locked in Paper Space

[Beeftimer]

It's been a LONG time since posting, so forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong section or whatnot. I've got a 3D drawing that I'm trying to plot using the HIDDEN visual style, but the properties window (when no objects are selected) is showing 2D Wireframe (and that is indeed what the drawing is showing as). How do I change the visual style in paper space to my desired style?? 

 

I searched the forum and didn't find anything on this one. Is it a system setting??? Please help. I've attached a photo of the properties box.

The accepted solution on that article is what I tried to do, although on MY properties pane, it doesn't allow me to change that visual style; it's locked. That's my problem. Why is it locked? Why can't I change it? How do I fix it? It's a dilemma.

Maybe upload the .dwg and some images of your plot settings.

AFAIK, to plot a Layout with Hidden Visual Style, you need the viewport setup.

 

I couldn't find the article, but I did find THIS POST.

 

If that doesn't work, I'll have a look when I get back to work.

Interesting article, and it seems to be directed at my problem, but it doesn't work. It did point me to an observation, though... the subsequent layouts (Layout 1 (2), Layout 1 (3)...) are all copies of Layout 1. However, Layout 1 is the only layout that is showing properly as hidden. The rest show as 2D wireframe and you cannot change the visual style on any of them and even Layout 1 shows 2D Wireframe under the properties pane, though the model looks like it's in Hidden style on that layout. Also, in the article, they say to change the Shaded Plot setting, but in the image, they're changing the Visual  Style setting, so that's a little confusing; mine doesn't even show a shaded plot setting (EDIT: the shaded plot setting appears when clicking on the viewport... disregard).

 

It's making it difficult to build this thing from the plans, that's for sure, but it's just something that I designed to put together and sell if it looks nice enough. It's not a HUGE deal, but if you can figure it out, that would be cool. I used to be the CAD guy at my job years ago, but this one has me stumped.

I just realized something that I forgot. There's a huge difference between Layout 1 and the rest of the layouts, and that is that I've used the CHSPACE command to pull the objects through to the paper space on those subsequent layouts. So that would be why they're showing correctly on the first layout, but not on the subsequent ones (because they are no longer INSIDE the viewport). But still, is there a way to show those as hidden after I've done that?
