  1. Hi, I think best would be to separate the "Transform Mode" from the U-Key-Modes and offer a new key to activate "Transform Mode". … and I never used 1st and 2nd mode. Greetings and Happy Easter Tobi

    Redshift - FAQ

    Hi, We have now reached Vectorworks 2024, which of the above limitations still apply and which are obsolete. Please update the FAQ. It would be fantastic if Vectorworks could get Physically Based Rendering (PBR) in the future! Best regards Tobi
  3. Hi, My preferred method is to model generic solids that represent the volume I want to subtract from the wall and edit the bottom or top edge of the wall with the option: "Fit walls to objects". Greetings Tobi
  4. Hi Letti R, okay, that's a problem if DEPTH gives wrong values! Can you post a sample file with some 3D IFC objects? Greetings Tobi
  5. HI Letti R you can try to use: =MIN(WIDTH, HEIGHT,DEPTH) =MEDIAN(WIDTH, HEIGHT,DEPTH) =MAX(WIDTH, HEIGHT,DEPTH) … maybe this can help you for sorting your rotated stuff in your Worksheet. … but only if the objects are not diagonal in 3D space. Greetings Tobi
  6. Hi, if you model the roof in three separate instances (left-, middle-, right-part) you got more control over the Eva Cut of the hole. I sometimes model my roofs with this technique. Greetings from Germany Tobi
  7. Hi Pat, thanks for that solution, I will try it tomorrow. It late here in Germany! I wrote a request for my idea to VW Inc, I think there is a use for it. Hopefully we'll get access to pop-up lists in spreadsheet cells soon. Greetings and have a nice rest of the week Tobi
  8. Hi Pat, greetings. The idea was to have direct access to the database and the database content (Pop-Up list content) itself without having to select a specific object. With =Formatfield() you can access the default value of the pop-up list, but not the rest. Greetings Tobi
  9. Hi VW-Forum, Is it possible to refer to a database field (type: pop-up) in a Spreadsheet cell within a worksheet and to be able to select (list) the pop-up entries in that Spreadsheet cell? Greetings and thanks for help Tobi
  10. Hi VW-Forum, I'm kind of stumped and need help with a formula. Idea: If there is a certain value in a Spreadsheet cell, then show the content of a database field with a certain value in an other Spreadsheet cell. Please find attached the test file with a further description. Greetings and thanks for help Tobi 24-02-29 Test.vwx
  11. ... so not everyone here uses macOS Sonoma, as I can read in the signatures, then I would assume that the error is more likely to be found in VW and has less to do with macOS. But I recognized the bug first with Sonoma an VW 2023 + 2024. Strange!
  12. The cursor is also causing problems for me again, the problems have only existed since macOS Sonoma. I suspect it is a combination of VW and macOS. Let's see how the behavior develops when macOS 14.4 comes. So far I have not been able to find out what is causing the problems ... Greetings from Germany Tobi
  13. Hi Tom, sure it is "only" a visual problem. I thought it would look nicer without the empty rows. Greetings Tobi
  14. HI there, I have a Data Tag for getting out the thicknesses of wall components. The code of the Data Tag look like this: #WS_IF(COMPONENTTHICKNESS(1)<>0; TXT(COMPONENTTHICKNESS(1); 'Millimeters'; 'Units'); '')# #WS_IF(COMPONENTTHICKNESS(2)<>0; TXT(COMPONENTTHICKNESS(2); 'Millimeters'; 'Units'); '')# #WS_IF(COMPONENTTHICKNESS(3)<>0; TXT(COMPONENTTHICKNESS(3); 'Millimeters'; 'Units'); '')# #WS_IF(COMPONENTTHICKNESS(4)<>0; TXT(COMPONENTTHICKNESS(4); 'Millimeters'; 'Units'); '')# #WS_IF(COMPONENTTHICKNESS(5)<>0; TXT(COMPONENTTHICKNESS(5); 'Millimeters'; 'Units'); '')# #WS_IF(COMPONENTTHICKNESS(6)<>0; TXT(COMPONENTTHICKNESS(6); 'Millimeters'; 'Units'); '')# #WS_IF(COMPONENTTHICKNESS(7)<>0; TXT(COMPONENTTHICKNESS(7); 'Millimeters'; 'Units'); '')# #WS_IF(COMPONENTTHICKNESS(8)<>0; TXT(COMPONENTTHICKNESS(8); 'Millimeters'; 'Units'); '')# The problem is that the data tag displays empty rows if a wall has fewer components than 8. Please look at the screenshot. Is there a way to write an "operator" or something else (maybe with regex) to get "EMPTY" if nothing is given out? I know we have "ELSE" for: =IFS() "ELSE" is not documented anywhere Maybe a "EMPTY" or something else exists, if a nothing is given out? Could this be a useful wish, I mean "EMPTY" as new option for Data Tags? Attached VW 2024 demo file Greetings and many thanks for your help. Tobi Test Data Tag.vwx
  15. … sorry for the screenshots of the German version.
  16. Hi Cristiano, hope I understand your question, do you mean you try to achieve different transparencies of your symbol instances? If you attach the record to the Solids inside the Symbol, all Solids of all the symbol instances will get the same transparency. If you attach the record to the Symbol you can overwrite the individual records of the Solids inside the Symbol, but if you have different solids inside the symbol with different transparencies, all solids get the same transparency. Greetings Tobi
  17. Hi, I often use a data visualization in combination with a record (only for transparency) to put certain objects into a transparent state. The "trick" is to use a transparent texture (like Tamsin explained) and use it in the Datavisualization. The Datavisualization will overwrite the current texture of the object with a transparent texture. You can think this further and make more textures with different transparency values if you like finer differences. Greetings and have a great Christmastime Tobi
  18. Hi Andy, I'm happy that it helps you. I asked in Jira whether the US version can also receive this plugin. Theoretically, I could pass on the plugin, but I don't think that would be allowed, so I'd rather not. ... I'm happy to help anyone who needs a hatch. Greetings and wish you all a nice week and don't fall too deep into the Christmas stress Tobi
  19. Hi Andy, greetings. Attached is a file with a hatch! Hopefully it's the way you wanted it. shakes rectangle v2022 v2024 v2022.vwx It's late in Germany now. Time for bed. Tomorrow, if needed, I could make one more for you Greetings and good luck with the project Tobi
  20. Hi Andy, I tried it, but you have to change the geometry a bit to make it seamless. With the German tool I have to draw a rectangle and everything within the rectangle then becomes a hatch. If you change the geometry that it fit inside a rectangle, I will try it again for you. Greetings Tobi
  21. Hello, now the "Loft Surface Tool" should be improved with a "History", as some other tools already have. That would be a very nice function. Greetings from Germany Tobi
  22. Hi Paul, greetings and thank you for your time to making this video! Greetings Tobi
  23. Hi there, @VIRTUALENVIRONS I'm interested how you achieved the Geodesic Dome both solutions (curved and straight). Thanks for help! Greetings from Germany Tobi
  24. Hi Tom, can you please send me a demo-file from you? Greetings Tobi
