According to the new possibility, given by Vector 2020, of "Managing Data Visualisation" should be very useful to add the possibility, in the "Create Report" window and/or in the "Edit Report" window inside the worksheet, of filtering the color of the objects listed inside the worksheet iteself showing the setting used in a certain saved Data Visualisation. I.e. if I save, into the Data Visualisation a new set named Fire, the ability of showing in RED all walls the with fire protection rate and in GREY all the other walls I need also the possibility of listing, in a certain worksheet, the walls drawn in that view with the "Image" field showing the Red color (of the fire protecting walls) and not the class color of that walls.

Would be useful in the Object Info palette (as in the Navigation palette), after the selection of a object in the drawing, to click on the class (or layer) pop up menu having the position of the cursor already on the line corresponding to the selected (or active) class or layer and not on the top of the list as it happens now. This action could simplify a fast change of the class or of the layer containing the selected object.

It doesn't work neither in the sp2 release. It should be fixed.

To copy and paste all the drawing into a new empty file does'nt work, but I have seen the trees right beside the drawing like having a offset. If I zoom toward the new position of the trees nothing is visible. Anyway if I click a tree in the right position inside the drawing I can see the orange fence and the info palette confirms the selection: but the tree is not visible in Open GL render mode. I attach the file as requested. The problem is that there are trees made as image prop that are no more visibile in Open GL render mode. They were ok with the first release of vw2017 but not with the sp1. If I copy and paste them in a new file they work again. The same happens opening the file on a computer having the first release vw 2017. May be I have to copy and paste all the drawing in a new empty file.

After upgrading to vw2017 sp1 image props are no longer visible in Open GL render mode. Could you help me?

In Italy the Elevation Benchmark units are usually in meters and the drawing units are in centimeters: would be nice to have the possibility to set the desired units of the elevation benchmark in the control window.

I thank you everybody for the examples and the suggestions: I'm going to try your way. It doesn't fit exactly with my expectation but it could work. The best would be to have the possibility to retrieve and use, in the worksheet, the data input of the component and its layers used in the setting window of the wall. Thank you again.

Anybody knows if: Is it possibile to list, in a worksheet, the thickness of each components forming a wall? Is it possible to list in one single cell the name of each components forming a wall? (using for instance a command like "=ComponentName(1..6) for a wall made of 6 layers). Thank you very much. Pierluigi Feltri

Windoor unfortunately seems no longer available for people living outside Australia and New Zealand.

Do you know if there is a way to put manually the dimensions in a door (symbol in wall) without affecting the drawing itself of the door in the wall. If I put the dimensions in the door manually using the "edit 2d component" at the end of the process the door extends its own blank area outside the perimeter of the trims. Thanks, Pierluigi

Thank you Wes: I'll wait for the next release. Here in Italy the way of drawings requests this kind of informations. Bye, Pierluigi

Door and window tool (door in wall or window in wall). Is it possibile to show in the drawing, in 2d view (top), the height and width of the door (window) (see the enclosed image (door P3))? Is it possible to show in the drawing, in 2d view (top), the hardware of the door like lever or push bar? Thank you for your help.

Dear Miguel, it works very well. Thank you very much. Pierluigi Feltri

In the Space palette (VW_Architect 2012), in the section "Additional Data" is it possible to fill the fields using numbers instead of the default text? Of course you can type a number but the field content remains a text that you can't use inside a worksheet to make further mathematical processing.
