    The Architect I worked for just added a couple of the latest tricked out Mac Minis for them to work on. Don't know the specs but I think they are as high as can be.

    They run on Mojave.

    They currently run 2017 but have purchased 2019 and have yet to install it.

    Does anyone have any input regarding their upgrading to 2019?

    What would be the pitfalls, if any....anything to be wary of?

    I am aware of the obvious better features of 2018 and 2019 and was just wondering overall if there any issues and  if waiting for Service Pack 3 would be advised.

    We would be working on new files and not importing from older versions.  I plan on creating new Title Blocks.

    Would 2018 be better for them?

    Any thoughts would be very appreciated.

    Thanks

    If you are planning to use Mac Minis, I'll suggest you to check some eGPU solutions, because the Mac Minis don't have a good video card.

  2. That article is nice, it explains a lot what we are saying, The LOD level depends on the stage of the project and where is going to be sent afterwards, the LOD level for a architectural project woukd be 350, and in Vectorworks you can go up to exactly that, in a door you can start just with a generic door with the aproximate size, no hardware, no manufacturer  (LOD 100 or 200) and at the end of design you end up with a door with the real final size, hardware and manufaturer specified (LOD 350), for the slabs and roofs, you can start with a generic roof, with no componets and in the final stage change and add the final components for detailing and output.

  3. Inside the BIM workflow, you have the LOD schema, the "Level of Development" in the early stages of a BIM project when we are studing alternatives for a project, the BIM models are simple enough to perform form and function analysis, but as the project approach the Bid-Build phase, the detail and development increases, because we need to extract more information from the models.

  4. I think you have 2 posible ways to do it, you can use the Wall Framer tool to generate all the studs and blocks. For the slabs you can use the Joist tool and the Roof Framer for the roof, all this tools generate 3D objects.
    The other path would be to create the studs and joist just as 2D graphics inside the viewports.

    These may have been shared before, but I wanted to get some more current feedback. These videos include mockups of an improved Vectorworks UI by @Stephan Moenninghoff. Not only am I extremely grateful for the obvious time investment that went into these, I tend to agree very strongly with many of his functional improvement suggestions:
     

     

     

     

    Wonderful work!!!
    Vectorworks would look and behave like application for this century!!!
