Working Plane tools still don't behave
Jonathan Pickup replied to ajpen's topic in General Discussion
Vectorworks will switch to a working plan if you use a 3D object. So, if you click on a 3D tool, you will get the change. If you work mainly in 2D, use the "0" key on the numeric keypad, or CTRL+5 (command+5) to change to Top/Plan -
Have you tried using Top/Plan, from the views menu, or key "0" on the numeric keypad
-
if you have a 3D object at Z=0, then you could use the Align Plane tool to move the plane of the object to the plane on the ground.

I have a YouTube movie that might help. it's an older movie, but the principles are the same -
I have not had this issue. Is it with a big file, or have you used a custom symbol?

Project a rectangle to a curved surface
Jonathan Pickup replied to Flair-Studio's topic in General Discussion
you could also try the Project Tool to project a shape, but this might create more of an extruded object depending on the option you choose. -
Copying Viewports Between Files
Jonathan Pickup replied to willofmaine's topic in General Discussion
my understanding is that copy and pasting groups of viewports from one file to another was a technique that some of us used, but caused trouble in the file. I thought that this had been prevented in VW 2022. You used to be able to resize a viewport by grouping it and strecthing it. I couldn't do this in VW 2022 last time i tried. -
If you make a symbol from the plug-in doors, you can add the text to record. If you use a symbol, you can add the record inside the symbol so that as you place the symbols drawing, it automatically adds the record. Michael’s idea should still be used, you will find the data tags much more flexible.
