My Wish List of Vectorworks 2026
Tom Klaber replied to Francisco J. D. Rogers's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
- Better Wall Framing Would Be Great - Better Door Tool (How can we be in 2025 and not have a pivot door....) - Stair Tool - the revision has not really fixed the problems - we need a real modern stair tool.- 1 reply

Really could use a parametric pivot door right about today....

Wall Component Viewport Control
Tom Klaber replied to Tom Klaber's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
This is closer to the set up I guess we will need to have. Right now - we have a series of "Material_Wall Component_XXX" classes to control the look of the component - we must have close to 20. It only takes one component to be on the wrong class - or one class to be on when it should be off - for the whole thing to come crashing down. I still thing a toggle switch is a great and easy idea. Same reason we have B+W Only - certainly possible to do without it - but sometimes - just easier to toggle it. Now I just have to find the time to remake all 48 standard wall styles we have in our office library.... -
Data Tags as Own Object Type
Tom Klaber posted a question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
It would be great if Data Tags were their own resource type as to get them out of the catch-all that is Symbols. -
Wall Component Viewport Control
Tom Klaber replied to Tom Klaber's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
I guess I am not totally following. I just want an easy way to flip between 2 different views - one with the components on - and one were I see the wall poche'd and displaying the class attributes that the wall is in. How do materials help? -
Turn Off Hierarchal Class Listing for Dropdowns.
Tom Klaber replied to Tom Klaber's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Amazing! Thank you! -
I really do not like the hierarchal display - I find that it makes things harder to find. I would much rather just scroll a single list - then have the classes nested. I am not sure why - but it seems that I can only turn off the nesting in the main class window - all class dropdowns are displayed as nested. I need a way to turn this off everywhere.

Wall Component Viewport Control
Tom Klaber replied to Tom Klaber's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Thanks. Correct - Plans. I do not want to lose the detail with doors and windows. I just want the ability to turn off wall components in particular scenarios without changing other graphic elements. -
Wall Component Viewport Control

We need a button that turns off wall components in viewports. This system of turning all component classes off - as the only way causes issues - as there are times when other objects share that material class. A simple checkbox next to "B+W Only" - would be great - turn it on - show wall components - turn it off - default to the wall overall graphic. -
Grouping of Layers - PLEASE
Tom Klaber replied to bjoerka's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Yes. Saved sets are OK - I wish it would not ask me EVERYTIME I exported anything if I wanted to save it as a set - but it does not solve the fundamental issue of long term project organization - its like a little time saver at the very last step - a seat warmer in a jalopy. -
Grouping of Layers - PLEASE
Tom Klaber replied to bjoerka's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
I do not know if you would be willing to share a dummy file of a dog house or something that shows how you do this - I have never been able to understand how to get the investment back when trying implement materials - and so am so curious to see how you set it up and how you are extracting that information back out. -
Grouping of Layers - PLEASE
Tom Klaber replied to bjoerka's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Getting a little over my skis here - but what would be really cool is to have connected sister sheets - or mirrored sheets where the content is the same - so you could have Site Plan in 2 different collections - maybe with different sheet number as that set requires - but still make sure the content is the same. We would have a Construction Set, Building Set, DOB Set, LPC Set - some of the pages between those sets would be identical - some would not. -
Grouping of Layers - PLEASE
Tom Klaber replied to bjoerka's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Not sure what the difference between a drawer and folder is - but I like this. If a sheet can only live in one drawer only - then we would need the ability to have each drawers have independent numbering - where our construction set and our filing set each have their own A-100 with different sets of notes. -
Went to the Instagram page - do not see any video about new features. Is it the Auto Hybrid video?
