I just discovered a work around. If I right click on a wall and select 'join' from the menu, I can then click on the second wall and they join appropriately. What the heck.

I put in a Service Select call for help on Wednesday and haven't heard back. This is so weird. New file, old file any file---wall joining simply doesn't function. I can drag a wall into another and the auto join function takes over, but that is it. Very frustrating. Any suggestions?

Keeping this simple--is anyone using the fatter one with 16GB of ram? If so, with Monterey and VW 2022 is it sufficent to render in a reasonable time and to use TwinMotion? File sizes maxing out at say 400MB.

Same layer as is active. I will call support later.

Nah…been doing this since 99. no error I get the highlighting when clicking but nothing happens.

It simply stopped working at all. I thought it may have been a corrupt file. Nope. Brand new fresh file today and same result. VW 2022 Sp3 using latest Mac OS. Need a solution as this is untenable.

My primary screen is a 5k iMac 27 and the second is an older 27. This is adequate. At this point all,I care about is enough horse power to adequately render redshift and use TM. it seems the economical route may be a new release of a mac mini. Likely projects maxing at 400 or so MB. Honestly, right now it is confusing.

For giggles. I opened a 300 mb file and the AM immediately showed a 3.4 mb usage and its stsyed the same when in the process of rendering Redshift of whole model….reference the above system.

Reading through this leaves me shaking my head and wondering 'what the heck to do' concerning a future upgrade. And I thought it was difficult determining the best method for smoking brisket on the offset. LOL Seriously--sort of---I am running a 2017 iMac 27" 3.4GHz Core i5 with 40GB ram and the Radeon Pro 570 4 GB card. For the most part it is working fine with VW 2022 running files between say 250 & 350 MB. Looking forward, I have two goals---Redshift rendering that doesn't take a week when not 'freezing' and the ability to use Twin Motion. I reckon I will keep reading this thread. 🙂

Have a look around the FileMaker Pro website. I used it years ago in my building remodeling business, to creat integrated apps for estimating, proposals, contracts, invoices and job cost tracking, etc. These all in a database form. The FM communiity is large and many solutions have been built for all kinds of things. Worth checking out.

I agree as I am learning a lot. Often, if I have a question I just do a search here! Great resource.

Short version: back in 1999, I began to use VW as a value add for my home building (mostly additions) and remodeling. I got a couple archtectural textbooks and read up. I did all the trades from the foudnation up for many years and can build a house in my head, so that is kinda the way I look at drafting. Most of the work didn't require plans, so I didn't actually do a lot. Pretty much retired now and upgraded to 2022 Arch/RW and now hyper-focused on getting up to speed and learning much more of what VW can do. My goal is to make some grocery money with this--I am not in a hurry, as I know I have much to learn--but having a blast. While learning, I am working to build a portflio. This const set is the result of just designing a house and learning VW as I go. I would love to hear some 'constructive' 🙂 criticism and advice. Thanks folks. SUNHOUSE:RO CONS SET.pdf

I did as suggested in creating a new folder and this seems to have quieted things down.

My pics are NH...have hundreds of them, as we rode a great deal. Most fun was snowshoe packing trails we made with NEMBA and then rolling them with the fat bikes.

I will try the first suggestion and get back. I am using a stock workspace--always do.

Yup--2022 newest patch. Intel with 40GB ram. Crashes for no apparent reason at various times. This is getting old. This morning while annotating a VP. Most aggravating of all is not being able to select objects in a design view. All kinds of objects. I have to force select and even that doesn't always work. Hard to establish any kind of workflow like this.

Yes, I grok. Thank you very much, shorter. Very helpful.

Can you say that in English? What means 'models' and what means origin in that context? 🙂

Shooting for a little levity and fell shorter.

Good luck to you…sounds great. The area is indeed beautiful and the old mill area in town is cool.

Why can't everyone in the world just use Vectorworks! 🙂

The reading I did earlier indicates getting up to speed with IFC is a key must do. I have a lot of work to do. 🙂

Thank you, Juan. I appreciate it.

Same frustrating intermittent problem with selection objects yesterday. I may run repair…never have before.
