  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. ... 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!

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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.

  7. 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

  8. 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

    Brilliant. Thank you so much @Tobias Kern!!

     

    While the conversion process with that command doesn't seem to be 100% accurate, it's pretty dang close (and a million times easier than trying to create something from scratch with the Hatch Editor). Would definitely be used a lot if we had access to it in the States.

    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

  10. 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

  11. Hello Tom,

     

    hmmmm?

     

    The error I reported has been fixed.

     

    The beta version I have access to is not affected by this behavior.
    I tested my own demo file from this thread.

     

    We are not getting an official update 2 in Germany.
    I expect it for end of November or beginning of December.

     

    In previous beta updates for update 2 I tested the file, and it worked for me.

    If possible, send a demo file from you.

     

    I will test it out

     

    Greetings

  12. Hi,

     

    today I created a Jira request that the script we can use in the German version

    should also be made available for your version in the future.

     

    Maybe I'll also get permission to share the script directly,
    then you can test it to see if it works for you.

     

    It is possible that the script is already included and is not integrated

    into the menu of your installation.

     

    The script is called: Convertir en hachure.vsm
    and could be located in the Plug-Ins folder.

     

    Best regards
    Tobi
