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.

Now you have my attention.

@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?

What story is this on? What would the elevation be? I have 3 layers. Foundation Wall, Footing and Slab. each one is asking me for an elevation.

So the above image was sent to the small firm I am helping out...they are now in the process of upgrading.

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!

for those interested... That is an impressive improvement.

@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?

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.

This is working well so far...

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.

one really needs the 3d connexion space nav for 3d pipe work.

it the context of you already have the job but people want to change stuff and are happy to make the changes by way of email...as in "just change it like this, add some there and subtract there...no need to draw it up" there are always hidden things that do not come out until you draw it up and place in context.

An architect I worked for used this word to define a situation where people (contractor, client, etc) tries to get design information out of you by talking. While you insist that the situation needs to be drawn up to fully understand the situation, "architecture".

ok
