@rDesign you may have just saved my bacon...

So the small firm tried to install VW2024. A few things developed.
1. They needed to upgrade the office to the latest OS.
2. There computers are not on the min requirements list (something with the graphics card)
So there ability to start this week with our collaboration is now being spent picking up the pieces.
Big headache. I guess it's my problem since I did the recommendation for the upgrade.
The whole versions paradigm is way past its expiration date.

I don't really like giving layers elevations, because I like to be able to paste-in-place between different building storeys
EXACTLY! I do this a lot. I paste to another layer only to have it move on me because I set elevations to the layers. I stopped doing that.

@line-weight thanks. That is what I have done, I just build it FF 1st floor at 100.00' in the air. Then I just turn on the foundation and place the sill plates, for example.
-
@zoomer thanks.. for concrete I just do solid modeling with no wall tool

then what story would all the walls that sit on the foundation be on? Ok. its the 1st floor story but what elevation do I use?

That kind of under the hood improvements are the best as it benefits everyone. Whoever worked on this stuff send them my thanks. Well done!

@EAlexander Thanks, anyone have a comment about the "no more versions for VW" or did I imagine that?
Also, my above comment about the other firm not being a power user of VW was not clear.
I'm running VW2024 and they are running VW2023. Granted not a big leap but the improvements in speed to the rendering of sections are not something to ignore.

Hello all, I thought I heard some time ago that VW was getting away from versions. Not sure how that would happen but I am currently going to be taking on a big project with another firm as the "heavy lifter". Currently I'm running VW2024 to take advantage of the (see below) the other firm is not really a VW power user so we are at this road block of what version to use over the next year.
So I guess it is really my problem but the whole version schema needs to go.

Is there an AI font builder?
-
ok thanks. I may have to go to the web site. @Pat Stanford do you have a link?
@mjm thanks but now I have another problem.
I applied one of these fonts to my spec sheet and now I need 2 sheets if I use these new fonts.
Currently using Times New Roman.
-
So without going thru every font...how can I find a font that is similar to this in VW?
I want my lower case "l" not to look like a "I" a capital "I" and so forth.
Should not the font list actually show the font look without having to apply it to a text then needing to scroll down again?

making icons bigger doesn't cure blindness.
I was hoping that larger icons would move things more to the right. Put another way, the right side would get filled up as icons would be larger.

make the icons bigger?

The 3 monitors are DVI so I got 3 DVI to USB-C cables and its all working. The cables are not Thunderbolt but I am using 3 of the 5 Thunderbolt ports in the back.

So in the video I would fly to a location (left hand) then grab an object (right hand) then fly to another location (left hand) but still holding on to the object with right hand...
Again I keep coming back to a cloud based universe where everyone on the team can fly around (first person) and assemble things...Architectural, Structural, Mechanical, Civil all in the same spot...(each discipline would naturally be able to lock their stuff so no one in Architectural can change Structural for instance) currently its all a big import/export mess.
