You misunderstood me. As a reporter of the bug, I give priority. And if I set this to “Low”, then this bug should have a lower priority than “Medium” or higher. For the bugs that I report, I try to give a serious assessment of how troublesome the bug is. In recent years, I have been very happy with the balance between new features and fixed bugs. It's not about simply accepting bugs, but rather about prioritizing them correctly and recognizing whether or not they affect daily work. The cooperation with Vectorworks is very satisfactory for me in this respect.

For me, it is absolutely OK if from me as the reporter errors defined as low-priority are only rectified when the affected area is renewed.

Unfortunately, in 3D it only works on the bottom of the wall. I will enter a request for this.

Many users of other BIM authoring tools are still waiting for the correct wall component insertion in the lintel area of windows. We have this feature thanks to the (first part) of the wall reengineering. For me it works well....attached a short video. Which function do you miss? Video.mp4

Perhaps 🙂 Do you work with walls without components and the fill attributes of the wall are set to "None"?

Do you work with blank walls, i.e. walls without a fill? I know the behavior from there.

I'm active in reporting bugs myself and in the last 2.5 years over 200 of my reported bugs have been fixed. The oldest bugs are from Vectorworks 2011 and about 50% of the fixed bugs are from Vectorworks 2020 and older. So I can confirm that many old bugs are still being fixed, especially when the area of the bug is being further developed (f.ex. mode bar). Nevertheless, every bug that is still there annoys me too ;-)

I'm very happy with the new features (I use some of them almost every day) and Vectorworks runs very stable on a three-year-old MacBook Pro M1. However, I have 64GB of RAM, but I also work on really large BIM projects. My top list of 2025 features: - Object Visibility - On-Screen View Control - Room Finishes - Two Point Perspective

Hi chrissy In the past I saw a lot of projects, where a BackUp-File was used and leads to big troubles in the project sharing workflow. The cause is that a BackUp file (almost always) has incorrect authorizations: E.g. objects are released but not yet in the BackUp file or checked out objects are actually released in the working file, but in the project file already reserved there by other users, etc.

I really have nothing against SketchUp and have even worked as a certified SketchUp trainer for several years. But Vectorworks really offers so much more functionality that I would never switch back.

Hi Stu Do you search the command in the attached screenshot? Best regards, Marc

I would find it useful if there were some improvements in the animation functions that would make the tool more valuable. Let's see what the future brings. I'm also looking forward to Enscape coming out for macOS...the connection to Twinmotion works very well for me already.

Hi line-weight Thanks for hint. Yes, it is indeed difficult to control when the camera gets a different angle. I have just reported it to the development team. I'm familiar with Cinema 4D's animation features, and I think they're deliberately and sensibly more feature-rich. But I'm still happy with this simple and fast feature of Vectoworks. And I think it's not realistic, that every user will learn another Tool just for a simple Animation of his next project. But clearly, if you make money with animations, you should acquire additional software. This was my very first attempt without having tried the animation tool before. I also have no technical background on what the "rules" are for calculating the transitions. I am satisfied with the ratio of the time spent and the result. Together with the students, I was able to gain a little more experience. No, I don't have time for that, I'm in the forum all the time 😉 While the students worked on their own animations, I was able to try out various things and also reported one or two errors to the development team. Best regards, Marc

Hi line-weight I know the tool very well, because I'm teaching the students how to create Animations in Vectorworks. Marc Here is a 20min. Animation Tutorial for students (in German): https://vimeo.com/showcase/9399723/video/687131119 and here the result, after Garage Band & Premiere Pro:
