Hi Tom Thanx for the Note. Good to know for future...... Sorry for the quick crude images, but below shows the setting. So i've check all the setting I could find. I've opened the same file in VWX 2023-2025 now. All version have the same Wall settings of Layer Elevation in OIP, and Layer WALL HT was set to 0. Whats weird though is in 2024-2025 the walls show a physical Height but show 0 in the OIP. In 2023 the walls are fine as is. Am I i going crazy or am I missing a setting somehwere (human error).

Hello @RSawall, Try recreating the formula in the custom naming dialog to see if this fixes the issue. If not, can you share a test file showing the issue? Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov

That would be terribly disappointing. As per today's VW store site information, subscription cost for the Design Suite is listed at $1,980.00 billed annually. Service Select is a friendlier $ number to manage in comparison. I could imagine many would see this as a reason to look around for alternative ways to produce design work deliverables.

Hello, Thank you for sharing your post. Just a touch of my background: I’m a Los Angeles born, California Native, now living in the geographic center of CA since 2021. I have worked as an Art Director and Set Designer for Red Carpet/ Live Events, Film and Television for over 15 years now. I am proficient in Vectorworks (2D/ 3D) SketchUp and LayOut, Photoshop and Illustrator. Due to the work climate in film and TV, I was moved to search for ways to sustain. For the last 15 months I have been working as a Designer for a small, thriving architecture firm based out of Clovis, Ca., applying my skill set and experiences in every way possible. I am interested in freelance work and curious as to what your projects may be and entail. Attached in a link to a Dropbox folder with some of my work samples, along with my resume. Please let me know your thoughts upon review. I look forward to your response. Fine day to you!

I found out, the object needs to be classified as structural... that's a bit bad for detailing furniture, I'll need to remember to mark all of them as structural... 😕

I'm trying but I can't. I've created a class with a thicker line ("Estilo-Corte" class) but the cut only shows the style of the object's original class. I would like the wood to have the style of the wood class, but in the cut an extra strong line on the cut wood.

this might help:

Wow this really helped a lot, thanks for sharing. I'll try to implement it in the next project!

There are discussions in your forums for this solution. I assume there is another. For G keys, the LDF is not required. Or was not in the past and had a passthrough. Start-Process -Wait -FilePath ".\resources\installer\Install Vectorworks2024.exe" -ArgumentList '--mode unattended','--unattendedmodeui none','--Serial "G#######################" ','--installdir "C:\Program Files\Vectorworks 2024" --LDFChoice licenseID' -passthru What should the new command be as it is not listed in the commands via running cli.bat. When trying to run online or offline options: Could not download LDF. If this is an offline installation, please supply a local LDF file with --ldf <file> Could not get a valid LDF. Thank you!

In comparison with the competition and the cost/disruption of switching to other software. I’m wondering how many Service Select license holders will take a look at other options if they’re forced into a higher price point and subscription. Or, like me, would plan on making due with the last “permanent” version, at least for a while. Before VSS we only updated every few years and it worked out fine.

Thanks Mark, I'll have a look!

They really need to up the pace of useful features in updates if they are subscription only. Or drop the price to be competitive. that is thing with subscription promises of future good no longer matter. The software can only charge for what it delivered that month.

Done - and it went through. Go figure. 🤷‍♂️

For what it is worth folks, I upgraded yesterday onto my M1 MBP Max (64GB) and the zoom in/out and screen lag issues when using one or more external screens has been fixed. I have two external screens and have been running VWA 2025 without any issues for the last two days. Yay!

Maybe suggest improvements to the roadmap in the roadmap?

Hello, I, as well as several people at my firm, sometimes run into this issue where the keynotes disappear when we export to DWG. This is something we often have to deliver to clients. Any ideas what might be going on or run into a similar issue before? Thanks for any help or insights you might have!

I'd imagine if the posts were super complex, that would a lot of sense. I'll keep the generate button in mind next time.

I honestly can't believe it was that easy...

Hi @Guillermo B Those files were made with an illegal version of Vectorworks. When someone tries to open one they get sent to this website: http://piracy.vectorworks.net/IllegalFile.php? Have whoever made those files contact their regional distributor. I can't guarantee anything, but VW has been really good about unblocking files when the owner gets a legal copy of VW.

@James Narduzzo If you accidentally watermark your file because of this issue please contact technical support directly. They will want to know which file you imported the resource from to confirm the problem and to make sure no others have gotten by our testing. We have identified 4 files that have this issue. If you find any others please let us know. /Libraries/Entertainment/Stage/Rose Brand/Rose Brand Winch.vwx /Libraries/Entertainment/Stage/Scaffolding/Layher Allround Event.vwx /Libraries/Entertainment/Stage/Scaffolding/Layher.vwx /Libraries/Entertainment/Stage/Scaffolding/Ringlock.vwx

This is all working as expected. A post symbol needs to be a 2D/3D hybrid symbol if you want to see it in Top/Plan. This is good because it means you can control exactly how it displays. The best way to generate a 2D component for a symbol is to use the right-click 'Generate 2D from 3D Component' command within the component edit mode.

Yep! I actually updated this in 2025 and exported to 2024.

This is scheduled for correction in Update 1. We are currently testing to make sure that the fix was correctly performed.

Is there a way to adjust the line weight of a Wall Closure Wrapping? It appears to take on the line weight of the wall as opposed to a component. Edited with a file attached if it helps... Untitled 2.vwx
