if you use the structural member instead of the column, you have a lot more control over the shape of the columns and there are several shapes to choose from

When you import the PDF file, do you have options for importing the annotations or not importing them. The annotations are the comments that have been made. Please see the two attached images. Both are the same PDF file, one with the annotations included, and the other without.

Editing the Arch standard dimension pref?
Jonathan Pickup replied to Ramon PG's question in Troubleshooting
I think the standards are not editable. After creating your new standard, make sure you set that as the default in the tool bar. That way, you will just use your new standard. Don't forget to add it to your template as well. -
there are two ways that I sometimes use: 1. texture bed. If you just want the 3D colour of the drive, but you do not need the kerbs, use a texture bed. It will represent the drive in 3D, the texture will be connected to the class you assign it to. 2. Custom kerb road. You will need more than one custom kerb in this situation, but the custom kerb can change its width along the road. You need to use the Reshape tool to edit the custom kerb after placing it.

Colour fills issue, they keep changing to grey. Help! Please
Jonathan Pickup replied to BLong's question in Troubleshooting
You might need to do some more testing. No the colours change on when the file is exported from Vectorworks 2023 to 2022? do they change with a particular user? does everyone have the same colour palettes on their computers? -
this movie might help
-
It would be good to know what context you are trying to use it in. Some screen shots would help. You can only use the automatic working planes in a design layer and when you have a creation tool ( a tool that creates objects such as rectangle, line, etc) selected.

Doors missing jam/frame and leaf thickness - VW22
Jonathan Pickup replied to S12R's topic in Architecture
Hi Pat, I hadn’t thought of that one, I was thinking if might be a class issue. S12R, I couple of screen shots of the issue would help me to understand the problem. -
do you want to post a file so we can look at it?

There is a document preference to switch to black and white only, and you can chose to make the viewport black and white only (in the Object Info palette).

I have a couple of playlists on YouTube that might help. The first is a beginners course for Vectorworks: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjt2JD0muIE96sU4vM1D_ecYwgXgcfWJy the second is an Architect course that goes though the creation of a two storey house. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjt2JD0muIE_JHp8ofJSrpzn-emuvTYHM

VEVECTORWORKS 2015 KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS IMAGE
Jonathan Pickup replied to mendezarcediego's topic in Resource Share - Templates
if you want the latest shortcuts on all your keys, try exporting your workspace from the workspaces dialog box: -
that is a quick way to remove one class, and it also works with several classes at once, if you select the classes you want to remove.

Merge Files. Is it even possible?
Jonathan Pickup replied to arquitextonica's question in Troubleshooting
another way to do this is to create a new layer and copy the contents of a layer from the other file, then use the Layer and Class Mapping to merge the layers together. I made a Youtube movie to show this... -
you can edit the standard drawing list by adding a column to the worksheet. You will need to learn about worksheets and editing the report. This movie might help to explain how Vectorworks finds the information to add to a report.

different heliodon times for different viewports?
Jonathan Pickup replied to hollister design Studio's topic in Rendering
I suggest the same method as Tom W. once you learn to control the lights in the visualisation palette, you will find that you can use it on all viewports, making some lights turn on, some lights turn off, change the colour of lights, change the intensity of lights... oh... so much fun! -
Offsetting Windows and Doors in a Wall on Floor Plans
Jonathan Pickup replied to CW2020's topic in Architecture
if you want the jamb to be longer or shorter than the wall, you can turn off the Use Wall Depth option and type in your own value. the other way is to add a trim to the window that looks like an extension of the jamb. . -
