Sorry can't help further. Sounds like a bug. Have you got the latest service pack update for 2019?

I'm not using vw2019 yet and I understand there are some issues with space objects with 2019. Might be a long shot but one thing you could check is that the floor, wall, and skirting finishes .txt files are present in your library defaults. You must have a "Room_Finish_Library-Ceiling.txt" file present to get the ceiling finishes to work. So maybe the other ones got deleted somehow? The factory default issue finishes will be in your program files. On windows they should be here (On Mac they will be somewhere similar): C:\Program Files\Vectorworks 2019\Libraries\Defaults\Space\Space - Room Finishes If you have custom finishes then the .txt files could also in your user or workgroup library defaults which are set up in your VW preferences. These are user defined locations but will have the same library folder structure as the program folders. i.e. [user defined location]/Libraries\Defaults\Space\Space - Room Finishes

It may be because sometimes you have to "Reset" the worksheet-space object connection. If you select a space object and in the OIP toggle on any setting then straight off again, then recalculate the worksheet you may find it works again. E.g. flick "show 2d boundary" on then off again.

Have you tried adjusting this in your preferences?

Yes! You would think though when you ask the RM to search "Everywhere" it would actually mean everywhere... Thanks Andy.

Hi Tamsin, can you please tell me what I am doing wrong as I don't get any results when I search for Metal Mesh? 2019-04-26 09-58-49.mp4

Hey line weight. Are you aware if this plugin for downspouts? Quite handy. https://andreafacchinello.wordpress.com/downspouts-free/

Hi tsw. I don't think there is a simple way to do what you are asking in vw2016 (Your signature says you are using 2016). You could possibly do it with stacked viewports? In vw 2019 you can display objects that are in front of the cut plane in section viewports. The visibility of the objects is set by class. Also in 2019 2d/3d hybrid symbols can have 2d elevation information as well as 2d plan info so that may be an option too. I'm not fully immersed in 2019 yet so can't say for sure. You would have to play around with those options a bit as they may still not do exactly what you want. Maybe someone else has some better ideas.

Welcome to the forum! It maybe that you have turned the grid snaps on so you are starting to draw from the nearest snap grid point. Click once on the highlighted grid icon to toggle grid snaps on/off. Double click to adjust the grid settiings. If you can't see the snapping palette go to Windows>palettes and put a tick next to the snapping option. Hope that helps.

Ok I’m not the worksheet wizard that some others on this forum are however I think if you have “=count” as a database column header then this will be a count of whatever is listed. If you also summarise the class column then the count column will show the count in each class. Similarly summarise the rectangle width or height and the count column will return the number of rectangles with the same height or width. Summarise class AND width then the count column gives the number of rectangles that have the same width and class etc hope I have answered your question and it was helpful!

Hmmm... don't you want to make sure it IS checked? I may be confused...

Visiting this old thread. Is there still no way to bring .pat autocad hatch patterns directly into vectorworks? I just want a concrete roof tile hatch but can't find one in vectorworks. Have found a .pat file that looks ok though but don't have autocad so can't import it

I have used walls in symbols for apartment/hotel work where there are multiple room types represented by different symbols. I use stories but not wall styles that are storey level dependant. You could try using wall styles in your symbol whose height is not defined by storey level. Still i have found the wall height control becomes erratic for walls inside symbols. The walls would at least have a height and not collapse to zero as is happening for you. I have occasionally had to redo walls in symbols whose height was not correct.

Script to update all VP's on a sheet. I use it all the time.

You could create a worksheet calling up callout records. Have a look at this, it may be what you are looking for:

I have had this happen when the design layer opacity is not 100%. I am using ve2018

I have a script I can share which updates all SLVPs on a sheet. I can do it when I’m back at work on Monday if you want.

Sorry I can't provide useful comment on vw2019. You can update your signature on your account settings:

I take it you are working on vw2016 as per your signature? I haven't used the space tool on 2016 but have on 2018 with success. I have a standard space object symbol I use with multiple labels that has my preferred space object settings including classing of elements. I am not using 2019 yet as from what I understand, mainly from this forum, that it is too buggy.

Thanks @Pat Stanford & @twk. These are really useful.

There are a couple of 3rd party plugins for breaklines you could try. The Breaker_v1 pugin is really good and seems to do what you want. I got them from this thread:

You might be able to do it with cloud services or tech support. Not sure. Anyway here is your file in v2018. I need to be careful as soon everybody will be posting here wanting 2019 files converted! 🙂 Antwerpsesteenweg 840 19-03-07_app v2018.vwx

Apparently this is better in VW2019.

You can’t turn the classes on off inserted symbols to my knowledge. Someone cld prob write a cscript for that tho. You can can however change the class a symbol is inserted into in the edit symbol dislogue sorry bad spelling was on the bus!
