It would be nice to see how 'heavy' objects are. Sometimes your drawing will be acting slow. You can usually tell what objects are causing problems, but it would be nice if somewhere on the OIP you could see exactly how heavy an object is - and that way - if you make modifications - you can see how much lighter you are able to make it.

Thanks!

This happens both in design and sheet layers. I am attaching a open GL and then the hidden line. You will notice that those red lines are the only representation of the extrude along path.

Hidden line renderings of extrude along path with circular path objects do not render correctly, and do not render the outer bounds of the object. The only lines that are generated are the mid-intersection points.

Thanks.

Apologies, I must not have explained myself well. I am not trying to use the SUM command to combine rows. I am trying to add (or perform any function) certain values together. It just seems as if individual values in a database are not addressable. So if I had a database of 10 items, and I wanted to add a select subset of a particular value together - I would need to write an equation that includes D2.5..D2.9 for example - but that is not recognized.

I do not understand. I have a worksheet that lists spaces. I want to add some of these spaces together, but the =sum() does not allow me to select specific database cells. What is the fix here?

Yeah. The top is not too hard for VW. It is getting a nice underside that was difficult that had the proper slab relationship which was hard for us.

Thanks!

Where can I sign up for the webinar?

We do the same. We use the tool to help calculate the geometry, but then we redraw the stair to match our graphic standards. Also we have found that the stair tool is fragile and there have been several times where all stair objects because corrupt.

It would be great if these objects could come with additional 3D details. Blank faceplates are not good enough for elevations. Even better would be a way for users to select the 3D symbols they wanted to use for each com device. It would make 3D and BIM models much more useful.

There should be a way to modify record formats from the main OIP shape pane. Symbols with records would be much easier to edit if you did not have to scroll through the long list of records to find the one that is checked - select it - then have to then scroll through this of attributes, select it, then click on the edit pallet. If my custom light symbol could be edited from the Shape tab like other objects - it would be MUCH easier - and much more user friendly.

1.) +1 - This could be really useful now with project sharing - and files will now have more layers than ever. 2) +1 - This would be GREAT. A little more complicated now that you have all sheets in one document. You would need to set a prefix, then a series, then a sheet. This could be paired with the folder idea above. Folder A-1 would be contain the 100s, and sheets rearranged in there would auto-number relative to each other. 3) +1 again - now that we could have 100s of layers in a single document - this could be helpful.

+1 on the pallet idea. The single tool is not quite right. Also - the default style with the rounded corners and the gradient is a little ugly. I know you, Jim, do not like the current trends in flat design - but I think the next release should take a closer look at the visual design of the tool.

I would also love two levels of control. I would like an option to set global control - to set the style for all drawing labels, then only have the local options in the OIP - so that is a much-simplified pallet - with just the drawing lable fields rather than ALL the style fields. There could be a checkbox that would allow you to "Take Global Style" - if this option is turned off - then you could have access to all options make that instance different.

We tried for a week to properly model the underside of a curving stair. We got close, but it was VERY difficult. On site they simply used plaster netting to pin the points. Other programs seemingly have better stair tools. I would love a more interactive live stair model that I could work with.

+1 Season 2 would be great.

This is a pretty basic question, but I was wondering if you could use a marionette script to act on object. I have been teaching myself - and just ran a little experiment where I wanted to equally divide a rectangle and then draw lines at the division points. This was fairly straight forward, but I had to generate the initial rectangle within the script. What would be more useful is if I could get that script to act on a rectangle that I draw, and which I could resize with control handles rather than having to input the size in the OIP. I am sure there is a simple way to do this. The videos seem to show scripts being controlled by objects. Thanks! Tom

+1 - This would be a hugly helpful. Consider putting it on a toggle in case you have too many symbols with records and do not want to see 500 little triangles.

Yes. You must remember though that to move the viewport from one sheet to another you must select the viewport, and then change the layer from the OIP. If you cut + paste your tag will disappear. Wishlist - It would be great if you could get a warning if you try and delete or cut a viewport that is linked to a tag. That way you will be notified that the tag has been erased and give you a change to move the viewport the right way.

I would love a tool that would create a Lighting Layout object. It could be generated from a rectangle, space, or auto-generated by rooms enclosed by walls. The tool would generate a basic edible lighting grid with center lines and, if desired, switch/gang lines. You could then easily adjust the grid from the OIP or by dragging centerlines. The light symbols could then be easily replaced across the whole grid or each light instance could be selected to have the symbol changed. Even more advanced would be ability to upload an .ies file and have VW propose a layout based on desired footcandles. There is a nice little online web tool: http://www.visual-3d.com/tools/interior/ which does this pretty well. If this could be integrated it would be amazing. Huge time saver.
