Thanks Alan. I could resort to adding formulae [and that's what we've done] to the schedule but it's not very BIM compliant.
Ideally all of this information would be contained within the door object itself.
Agreed, Jim, one for 2017?!

I don't think so, people, what is the simple answer to all the script mumbo jumbo above, is it possible or not? :grin:

Yeah, been on the wishlist quite a while now:

I like how easy to use and intuitive they seem to be! Nice if that came with VWs out of the box!
However there are 3rd party plugins for this:

Andrew, sounds like you are used to Revit?
In Vectorworks we show and hide classes in a more traditional fashion (like AutoCAD and ArchiCAD), through class settings.
However if you would like a work flow more like Revits Temporary Hide I would suggest the Visibility Tool, basically you can hide/show objects in a similar class by clicking on them depending on what you have selected in the mode bar. If you would like to show(unhide) something that is hidden press the V key while the Visibility Tool is active to temporarally show hidden objects and click on the ones you want to show again after selecting the correct mode.

You could try with an IFC export, chances are great his software can import it (however only 3D objects are export no annotation etc.)
If you want to check what the IFC looks like you can use these free IFC viewers, (he can too of course

Do we need to download the viewer on to his computer or can we run everything from the flash drive?
You need to install the viewer on to the computer. It can be downloaded from here (no need to include it on the flash drive):

You guys Move me to tears.....

Kinda odd we dont have this feature in Vectorworks - as I can tell you from using it in other apps its very nice.
If view-ports could on a design-layer and "active/live" that would be very helpful.
Live section VPs have been asked for for a long while now......

Anyone know if VWs has a tool that does these trusses?

We were all Noobs at one point
but as I recall that was how I felt exactly when I first started out, now we're all happy to repay old debts when we can

Thanks Wes much obliged!

... as well as a segmented collapsible OIP, since often on objects like Windows or Doors, the OIP can get EXTREMELY long and collapsible menus would be more ideal than scrolling,
Perhaps adding an option for ribbons would be nice as well, I think it would be easier to jump to the correct 'section' in doors/windows/stairs/spaces etc. by selecting the correct ribbon.
Even nicer would be if a little dialog would appear next to the cursor when hovering a door/window etc with these sections to click on. This would mean only one click to go to the correct section in the OIP to edit!

The third elevation one I just like...
Ooh I like the trees in this one Wes, where did you get those, are they part of the Default, VSS libraries or 3rd party?

Duplicate the texture and rotate the duplicate.....

You enjoying this Jim :grin: ?!

It is possible (but it should be easier than this NV!):
1. Take your window and make it into a Symbol
2. Edit the 2D Component and draw the window reveal with 2D elements so that it looks like you want around the window (see image below, I made one red so that you can see what I added) make sure the window has full break without caps to make the 2D and the wall merge.
3. Edit the 3D wall hole component and create a 3D element that will be cut out of the wall to create the correct reveal in 3D. (In the image below I just created a random shape to show what is possible.....)
show wall lines at door - problem

Roger, I can go into settings in all doors and Cancel and choose OK and nothing happens....all is well?!
Check these things:
1: restart VWs see if that helps
2: check the class settings in the Door settings
3: check that Draw Wall Lines is off in the OIP
4: check that the Threshold is off
5: check that the corresponding classes are actually turned off....
