Ideally, you should set up the text you want and save it as a Text Style, saved into a library. That way you can apply the text style onto any text on any project. This might help

i find when i open really old files, changes to the settings do not make these files behave the way i want.

sorry, i was using a roof. When i change to a roof face, i see what you mean. The setting out point for the Double Cut Eaves is based on the roof slope relative to the intersection of the vertical edge with the horizontal edge. If you change the height of vertical edge the roof elevation changes .

they appear to be the same height to me... I copy the roof and kept the bearing height the same

that is a strong possibility. i have no idea what version of minicad they related to, they were from my old days in London. i found this: https://designexpress.eu/support/en/vectorworks/vw-en/download-vectorworks-convertor-for-minicad

i was able to open old Vectorworks file in Vectorworks 2026, even old .mcd files do you want to sent me a file to see if they can be opened?

instead of using layer of different scale, use two viewports on a sheet layer. each viewport has its own scale.

it should work if you keep the files in the same folder and use relative reference. You can’t rename the notes database, but you can rename the Vectorworks file.

thanks matt, but it would be powerful for planting. What if you relocate a hardscape, are you saying that the site model will not see the relocated hardscape?

is phasing available in Landmark?

good one tui!

my way around this is to create a database with the settings you want for each material, that way you have the description you want. for each project, i copy the last database and edit it for this project.

my setting look like this, does anyone else have the strange spelling of Sliding?

it does the same thing for me in a new file. You should report this as a bug. 359.9º works but not 360º
