Here are the curves as you had them if this is what you need. Curves.vwxCurves.vwx

Still a little unclear on what you want to do. You can use "extract" in the 3D tool palette to extract the curves. What is your objective after that? Paul

Would love the ability to build a sheet list that automatically hyperlinks to the relevant sheet layer when exported as a PDF. This would greatly improve PDF navigation on larger designs.

@Euler Please contact our technical support team at https://customers.vectorworks.net/support There we can then request the file to troubleshoot.

This could be better in the wishlist forum, but AI Visualizer seems a bit separate from everything else right now so I've put it here. I've used the visualizer a couple of times to 'de-computerize' some early concept sketches. It does seem that you have to hit "generate" and "create bitmap image" quite a bit in order to find a visualization that meets your esthetic needs... It would be nice if there was a history button so we could go through multiple visualizations and then look through to pick out the best. I've also found that I look back at my saved images and think - wow, image number 3 was actually pretty good, I wish I could use that to 'generate similar' with different views of the project. Maybe I'm miss-understanding what "Generate Similar" is, but if there was a 'history', it would be very nice to be able to use a past successful visualization to focus the new visualizations of all the views I want to render.

The arrows are sized based on your Design Layer Scale. It produces a 1/4" arrowhead when your viewport and design layer scales are set the same.

Did you ever get a symbol for those?

Check the Vectorworks Preference Zoom Line Thickness as a starting point. C

Having a problem not sure how to fix. I am on the 3rd conference space in one building. Each space has its own schematic. I have put each on its own design layer, so that I can seperate them easily, but also continue cable counts and include any connections. The 3rd space is very similar to space number 2. So I copied the entire schematic over to a new design layer. to begin renaming devices and renumbering circuits. However the circuits now appear very thick. In a lot of spaces they are overlapping and make it hard to read. The line weight is the same in connectcad settings. Its strange too because when I am moving around the schematic they look normal, then when I stop its almost like it loads the lines and makes them massive. The original design layer is unaffected. I would really hate to have to start from scratch on all these connections. Any ideas? Including a screen shot of the pasted lines that appear thick, and where i copied them from. Again this happens even when I clear cable numbers and change device names

Thanks Mihail!!!

Here is the file. fire safe fence clean.vwx The worksheet just has some test formulas. I'm really just trying to figure out what data you can get at this point. ...discovering that things like "post height" are the cumulative height of all the post and to be divided by the number of posts.

The automatic size of the heads of the arrows in my site model is so small the arrow lines look like lines only, no arrow. I see there is no setting for changing this. Is there a pre-step or roundabout way to get the arrowheads in the site model to be bigger? Anna

How would I go about creating windows that look like the ones pictured? My 3d model is primarily for ConnectCad and AVL design but I like to get it looking as close as possible to the actual building. I am not an architect so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

@Katarina Ollikainen Just noticed this is still happening in 2024 update 5 - Any thoughts on a workaround? Any way to remove these attached classes from a fence style --- or do we really need to recreate all our custom styles to not have them pull unwanted classes into new files...

There is a pretty good tutorial from the Austin VW User group. Is this what you are looking for?

Hello Scott, you are right, it is a curve. I am including the VW file drawn by someone else. I needed to modify the design, such as to change the height and the bottom wavey part but I couldn't quite figure out how it was done. Hope this makes sense. thank you. Curve fabric.vwx

Yes, you can do that with Referencing. When you have multiple options to display, put them on different Design Layers to facilitate quickly turning them off and on.

it seems like the top view of the boats (Chinese & Arabic) are 1st angle to each other as it is drawn as if the boat was rotated. Is that correct? Ok, so now I see where one would use 1st angle. As it would be silly to draw the plan above the sails and not directly under the boat elevation. Same with the Titanic. Upon closer inspection (note the blades) is seems that the elevation ends are 3rd angle and the plan is 1st angle.

CustomPanels_2024.vwx Thanks Jesse! Take a look at this and let me know what you think. But that answer was what I was guessing might be the case.

Alternatively, if you don't need that database portion, you could use use the AREA function in a spreadsheet cell with criteria. Something like: =AREA(((L='Design Layer-1') & (C='None') & (T=POLY))) You can use the Critiera Builder to make this criteria by going to the Worksheet INSERT menu and choosing Critiera.

Got it. Thanks again!

Do the update to 14.5. There is a known problem between VW2024 (and many other programs including Pages) and MacOS14.4 (and 4.1). You will be much happier on 14.5

Normally you'd have more than one column + you'd use summarise on one of the other columns to collapse everything into a single row then sum the =AREA column (which I can see you've done already). So you could add =OBJECTTYPENAME for example to one of the other columns.

Thanks Tom.... seems to be ok

Thanks! I didn't remember where to place that. Another question... can I make it more concise and just show the Sum Values and not the individual items?
