Hey @The Hamma, A while back, I had a similar thought and expressed it as a suggestion. The idea was that pop-ups from record formats could behave like drop-down menus in individual cells. If this is technically possible, it could also work with phasing. by the way: If you write: =ACTIVEPHASE in a single cell, you can reference in other functions to that cell. and the Worksheet show the data relative to the active phase. It’s certainly not ideal for every use case, but it definitely is for some. @ashot Very nice approach! Greetings from Germany Tobi

Hey, Maybe it would help to go through SketchUp, then Meshlab, and finally Vectorworks? Meshlab is a free program for editing and cleaning up meshes. https://www.meshlab.net/ You could also try exporting the drawing from SketchUp as an IFC file and then loading the IFC into Vectorworks. Greetings from Germany Tobi

@Tom W. and @Ian M. "Framing Member" is not "Structural Member" =OBJECTDATA('member physical length') … works just for the "Structural Member" Greetings Tobi

@Pat Stanford … it looks correct to me tested: =OBJECTDATA((C=none); 'member physical length') … works in a spreadsheet cell c = class Greetings Tobi

Hey @zeno … sorry I do not understand? What do you want to achieve? =OBJECTDATA('member physical length') … can be used in a data base row. Greetings Tobi

Hey, In macOS, you can set the order in System Preferences when you have multiple active connections. First in list got highest connection priority. … maybe this info can help. Greetings Tobi

Hey Mateo, please use this function: =OBJECTDATA('member physical length') Greetings from ComputerWorks Germany Tobi

Hey, yes, it is a long awaited feature! Please do not forget to upvote this wish! We only have two votes at the moment. Greetings Tobi

Hey @shorter, The syntax for IF in Data Tag and Worksheet (WS) is different, BUT you can use the WS function in Data Tags. Syntax Data Tag for IF: OK@#Space#.#Area#>12:Achtung! Syntax Worksheet for IF: =IF(('Space'.'Area'>12)); 'OK'; 'Achtung') WS Syntax used in Data Tag #WS_IF(('Space'.'Area'>12)); 'OK'; 'Achtung')# Since VW 2025 (i guess) you can directly use WS Syntax in Data Tag. Greetings Tobi

Hey, Over the last few days, I've also been thinking about naming. I would prefer an option in the data manager. We would need all viewports as separate objects and all available data fields of the viewports. + a lot of useful new data fields in the data manager. If this were the case, then automatic naming including more creative solutions, since other data fields can be accessed) could be done via the data manager. A separate naming field for viewports should be used (and no longer the data field: Name). The new name field must also be designed in such a way that the names only occur once, of course. Greetings from Germany Tobi

Hey @Stephan Moenninghoff, I guess the demo file: VW 2026, or? Greetings Tobi

Hey, also a longtime wish from me. Please upvote this thread! Greetings Tobi

Hey @shorter. I have thought about this a lot and think this solution might work: If you want a wall to be thicker (with value or interactive), then it should only affect the “core component”, the other components should keep their thickness. Benfits: Significantly less wall styles needed I absolutely agree with you that the wall needs to be redesigned so that we can use the style system of the other tools.
