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
-
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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

... 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!
-
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 ...

Hi Tom,
sure it is "only" a visual problem.
I thought it would look nicer without the empty rows.

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.

… sorry for the screenshots of the German version.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Hi there,
I'm interested how you achieved the Geodesic Dome
both solutions (curved and straight).
Thanks for help!

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

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

Ability to angle vertical sides of a wall

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
