[Kitchen Cabinets Angle]

I think the best approach could be do a rotated cabinet and you can cover it with a countertop

[Project Sharing - Reset]

I'm having the same issue after a Vectorworks 2026 crash, all the PF where I'm not the admin are asking to be reseted, I've reinstalled Vectorworks with no luck

here is youtube link to

begin at about minute 18 to see a 20 min presentation on what a stair tool should do.

[Creating Textures w/ 3D Attributes; Specifically a Standing Seam Roof]

The best approach to create a simple, solid standing seam is to use the Framing Member and add a custom profile of a standing seam metal sheet, then duplicate it along a roof. However, this method will break down if you have complex roofs. Alternatively, you can use a Surface Array with a 3D symbol of a standing seam metal sheet. Both methods are somewhat overkill and can make your model a little heavier to manage.

[Stairs in Section]

Review of whether you are using the right Section line class and if that class is ts with a solid fill

@Diego - Resuelvector  Tell me that you are a master of Point Clouds. You stellar VW user.  Don't let me take this beating alone.  

Hi Mike!

I usually start by slicing the model very thinly at 2 or 3 feet intervals for all the floors of a point cloud and saving views for the Floorplans, and also several slices for sections

And try to find averages between corners of rooms, because the point cloud will have a ton of points and they are not like perfectly aligned in straight lines

A good software for extracting lines from point clouds is PointCab, it's a little expensive if you do a couple of point clouds a year, it's a cross-platform software and great for point clouds

[How to best manage large models, project sharing and lots of sheets]

A good way to do improve that is using referenced files, I'll reduce the file size and improve performance

[How to create these petal shapes?]

You will need to use several NURBS curves to achieve that or a play with subdivision modeling

[Stairs & their underside]

@Diego - Resuelvector always the master of the inner workings...Hope all is well with you.  

 

But let's see you master the underside of the stairs with gwb. 

Sadly for the underside of the stairs, I find myself doing some acrobatics too if there is a lot of space between the underside and the actual stair structure
Usually, I leave that part for the CD set, in DD sets I use 2D linework in sections until the design has been ironed out
When, if, the design moves forward then I'll play with Roof faces and wall components to even obtain schedules and BOM

[Stairs & their underside]

Is better to not use the railings built on the stairs, I had better results using the new Railing tool in 2024, you can control better how different flights of railing connect to each other

[IFC with georefereced geometry fails to export correctly]

Thank you, I'll check those options to see if I have the values and settings right

[IFC with georefereced geometry fails to export correctly]

Greetings, 
I have a Vectorworks model and it is georeferenced but the moment I export the file to IFC the georeference information gets lost, even if in the Site Data the Reference Latitud and Logitud are displayed correctly
What other settings must I check to ensure a proper georeferenced export from Vectorworks 2023?

 

[PROPERTY LINE REPORTS]

I won't have time to do anything on this until the weekend.

 

Can you please post or send me a simple version of the file that only contains a few of the property lines instead of the full 109 so I don't have to try and mock something up.

Hi @Pat Stanford, did you manage to fix this issue? I have the same problem

[Creating a skylight schedule/ data tags.]

As long as it's not inserted in a Roof...

Yes, I don't usually do that,I clip the roof and add a custom Skylight symbol

[Creating a skylight schedule/ data tags.]

For Skylights, the only way is create a Custom Record and a Custom Tag to show the desired info

[Slab objects clip walls and walls clip slab components just like roofs]

Yes, a quick fix in your situation, could be to use a 2D polygon to clip the underside of the slab, It would give you the desired section detail

[MEP plug-in for Vectorworks]

I hope there will be an option to access this plug-in through the Partner Products portal, is in german, but the plug-in does some amazing stuff
 

 

[Section Cuts and Cutting Plane]

1.The section fill is controlled by the Section Style Class, changing it you can show different fills/hatches , etc

2. Are you creating a horizontal Section Viewport or a regular 2D plan?

[Waffle slab modeller]

Congratulations!
 

[Export 3d symbols from vectorworks in IFC]

You need to assign a IFC definition to the symbols, even generic IFC definition will be enough, otherwise the objects will not be recognized by the IFC softwares

[Wall fit to roof angle]

You need to define a component in the roof to clip the walls

[Sloping fence possible?]

On 9/22/2021 at 10:35 AM, Ramon PG said:

I think I used to do it. Can't find a setting for sloping panels.

 

Put a 3D locus to each of the points you want the fence to lock, then use the 3D mode of the fence Tool

[Parametric tactile paving - for Free!]

Great work!!!

[Turned gable workflow?]

A way to do it is ungroup the main roof and clip just the remaining Roof Face in Top/Plan view

[How to add sink model to Base Cabinet?]

With the cabinet tool you can't do that, un-check the countertop from the cabinet, use the Countertop tool and then you can create an opening for the sink, but you will have to manually adjust the size of the hole in the Countertop to fit the sink
