  1. it may be a banal question but is there a way to insert a column in worksheet at the right end as opposed before last col on the right?  I know the instructions: To add columns to the right side of the worksheet, click and drag the bottom right corner of the worksheet - it makes no sense, clicking and dragging resizes the worksheet window

  2. you need to select the the sheet (click on it) then the option will became available, you can select all and have same option set up for all or do it individually, I would recommend to select all and set one setting, the most efficient (no raster and, perhaps, reduced image size to 150DPI) and see how it comes out, then fine tune it with different settings.

  3. you might run onto more problems as you work, I have ru into unresolved issues with rendering and viewport qualities which I enumerated in a post whole ago, no worries now, but if you run into the same problems let me know, the problems are better visible when on a big screen:

     

  4. thanks, now I have a better understanding.  Interestingly when choosing other "conditional" values like lights or trim the pull down option menu includes IF but not for transom, that is how I originally arrived at my formula - I think it should be IF by default.

    Anyway, given this experience I think it would be good for the cell parameters to be accessible in one window like, for instance class attributes, as opposed to in many separate menus, just an idea to reduce number of clicks.

  5. yes, the cell format was wrong, it was leftover from the original door schedule column which was set to boolean.  Many thanks.

    I noticed another thing which may be a bug of sorts, if transom value is set to more than 0 and transom is inactive it still shows the value as if the transom was there as opposed to N/A.

  6. Actually, I am in 2020 Architect (need to change the profile) and I copy pasted If from my worksheet and it still yields asterix, when I input the If formula the record switches from "spring" to "transom" which I believe records whether there is transom and not the spring value.

  7. I am trying to have the transom height show up in the door schedule, I picked "spring" from the pull down menu but its only showing asterix.  I tried:  =IF(('Door'.'Transom'), 'Door'.'Spring', 'N/A') and it doesn't work.

  8. totally agree this is an issue, including the palette position which is not perfect. I work from a laptop, most of the time I have additional big screen sometimes not, when I switch it creates a total mess of windows and palettes. I wonder if there is something like a project/file associated "workspace" that remembers all of it, and preferably int one or two versions depending upon screen set up.

  9. I wonder if there could be improvements:

    1.  Have a separate button @ top of spreadsheet to recalculate as opposed to scroll down menu.

    2.  I understand "one way street" with worksheet, but I wonder if a change to any data base object could trigger recalculate button to go red, even if it doesn't belong to the particular spreadsheet - a reminder of sorts update.

  10. I have a single object in both elevation and section.  

    1.  It appears that the section is actually cutting the object and changing geometry from smooth to faceted, I tested a different smooth object and it was fine when cut, however,

    2.  Doing a section cut of the test object resulted in correct first view, I noticed some strange shadow line when zoomed icon the viewport, I changed the line to white, well,  the section view is no longer updatable, red line around the viewport doesn't go away and 'update' button is no longer red even though the viewport indicated is out of date.

    3.  When trying to do another section viewport it resulted in elevation without cut mark. I removed, presumably, a corrupt viewport and made a new section viewport, it works but it is faceted again right next to elevation viewport of the same object.

    4.  Viewport resolution.  In model space, of course, everything looks sharp.  In viewport, despite setting the sheet raster to 300 dpi it looks like 72 dpi, of course I can go to 600 or 1200dpi but that is simply unworkable.

  11. Something happened with graphic attributes in space tool.  It seems impossible to have a label 100% opaque and 2D boundary in less than 100% opacity.  This functionality was working in VW2018 but 2019 and 2020 has rearranged info and settings boxes and it is no longer possible.  Its kind of indispensable when dong planing and color coding different uses etc.
