Is it governed by a RW camera?

There are times when we perform an action only to have to Undo, and redo, only because we've used the wrong mode of the tool. This can be more time consuming and error-prone than you'd think, as sometimes selecting an accurate reference point, line etc, may be non-trivial. Eg. Select an object, Mirror - oops, I meant to Mirror-with the duplicate mode. The new command Undo-Redo (Shift Cmd Z perhaps) would elegantly undo and redo the action cycling to the next available mode of the chosen tool. This functionality would enhance all tools with modes.

New Update to VW => All custom Workspaces need to be manually updated. (I'm looking at you Morpholio Trace) A simple: "Add all new Tools & Commands to existing custom Workspaces" prompt in the updater would elegantly resolve this.

Reminds me of piano keys. It would be cool to see a photo of a built cabinet with this. The Visibility tool COULD solve this - IF it could see objects within PIO's - in this case you could set create a custom handle and it's shorter version coincident with each other and then turn off the relevant one on each side. Of course this wouldn't help with BOM's but it would get the visibilities correct. Shown here offset a little for clarity.

that's novel, could catch on (pun 👊)

I think it's a bug

Is there a simple way to update a custom Workspace with the new tools & commands? I see the new Phasing lives in several places, (Menu Item, Demolition tool, contextual menus ...) A simple Update Workspace (with recent changes) button in the Workspace Manager would be nice so we don't miss something important.

With that setting turned off activate a View Pane and set it up the way you want. Each one has its own visibility settings.

Turn off: View>Multiple View Panes>Use Same Visibilities in All Panes

Try changing to the default Workspace

This works! from https://deepwiki.com/Vectorworks/developer-scripting/3-function-reference def get_nurbs_length(nurbsHandle, numSamples=100): """Approximate NURBS curve length by sampling points""" totalLength = 0.0 prevPoint = None for i in range(numSamples + 1): percent = i / numSamples result, point, param, index = vs.GetPointAndParameterOnNurbsCurveAtGivenLength( nurbsHandle, percent ) if result and point: if prevPoint: dx = point[0] - prevPoint[0] dy = point[1] - prevPoint[1] dz = point[2] - prevPoint[2] segmentLength = (dx**2 + dy**2 + dz**2)**0.5 totalLength += segmentLength prevPoint = point return totalLength

I'm not having any success with totallength = vs.LengthN(hObj) or totallength = vs.PerimN(hObj) where hObj = vs.FSActLayer() for either Polylines or Nurbs curves. any tips?

Where do you place this so PyCharm can find it?

There is a similar one in the Cabinet tool. It indicates that a value will be calculated from an input
