    ID Label Tool & Curtain Walls

    in Architecture

    Posted · Edited by Samuel Derenboim

    Hello everybody,

    For Vectorworks 2016, is it just me, or does the ID label tool not work on typical curtain walls? Before the 1st Service pack, my id label tool didn't work at all, however after the service pack (1) for VW 2016 it works on regular walls but not on curtain walls. This is considering that the Mark id is filled in under the wall style in all cases.

    Could anyone help me out please? Thank in advance!

    Details vs. Viewports

    Hm...for some strange reason it keeps repeating this operation. It works on a section viewport but not a design layer viewport. It only works with convert to lines - and even then it doesn't keep the viewport box size it just simply creates a whole new line drawing of the entire layer that its referencing.

    Hey everyone,

    I have used Vectorworks for a while, however i still can't seem to wrap my head around a few Vworks functions. Is there a way to create a design layer viewport and convert it to polygons like the section viewport? The reason why i want to use design layer viewports is that because i don't use 3d capabilities of vectorworks, instead I draw out whole building sections in 2d and just reference the connections or required details via the main section cut through design layer viewports which i then annotate differently. That way if i need to change something all i need to change is one detail section. Now I have a problem - I need to export to autocad and when my design layer viewports export as to dwg the details do not remain, only the main section cut does. Is there a way i would be able to go around this problem?

    I have checked almost everywhere on the forums, but either way perhaps this might have been addressed. Is there a way to be able to reference in place drawing files so that if a dwg file is updated - so is that reference in Vectorworks? This could really enhance workflow for standalone users in offices that use autocad but users who want to use vectorworks. Please let me know if this is the case - it would be my biggest motivator to buy it for myself.
