    Change your layer options to Show/Snap/Modify others if you want to edit objects on other layers. your class setting should always be Show/Snap/Modify others

    it worked for me on my Mac, 64gb RAM, 8GB graphics card.

    I wonder if your windows machine has enough memory for this?

    You might be able to use the Roadway (Poly) tool to speed up the boardwalk.

    Hi Mark, do you have a few layers in your file, and what are the layer settings?
  6. Jonathan Pickup
    Are your class options set to Show/Snap/Modify Others?

    are you using a Styled Hardscape? if so, try editing the style of the hardscape, or convert the hardscape to unstyled
  8. Jonathan Pickup
    you need to edit this plant style in the Resource Manager or convert the plant to unstyled

    This movie might help, at the 9:21 mark https://youtu.be/DpRRe79rrdM and this one https://youtu.be/L_kdMBcxL1s and this one https://youtu.be/84ukOjJgPjI?t=913

    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
  12. Jonathan Pickup
    Have you tried using Top/Plan, from the views menu, or key "0" on the numeric keypad
  13. Jonathan Pickup
    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?
  18. Jonathan Pickup
    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.

    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.

    In this movie, I show you how to draw a quick building using Vectorworks walls, slab, foundations, roof, and roof framing. The techniques I use on this simple building can easily be used on a more complex building.

    Angela, if i understand your question correctly, if you place the scale bar in a 1:50 viewport, it will scale correctly.

    there are two ways to do this. You can use roof faces, or you can use the roof tool and cut out the bits you don't want. here is a movie on roof faces:

    if you enter the information as "0.25m" Vectorworks will convert the number to mm

    Here is a movie I made on stories, layers, and levels
