HI Jonathan, what's new with "fit walls to roof" in VW 2024? Greetings Tobi

Hi, I noticed the same for me. After my accidental update to Sonoma (I only wanted to download it, but Sonoma installed it itself= my fault), I have problems by quitting Vectorworks, even with the new Sonoma update 14.1. Yesterday I installed VW 2024, (release day in Germany) and I also got crashes by quitting VW. So VW 2024 got installed after the migration to Sonoma. Vectorworks is the one and only software with crashes like this after my update to Sonoma! Things I tried: - permission reset via Terminal - Repair with Vectorworks Updater - rebuild of the user-folder Things that I think could still lead to problems for me (completely subjective) - my User in macOS (maybe I try to a new user) - my custom Workspace setting Best would be to by a new Mac! 🤣 Greetings from Germany Tobi

Hi, In one of my recent projects, I have an opacity setup with the combination of record entries and data visualization. In the record save a pop-up list with the following entries: -, 25%, 50%, ... Create different textures with the same amount of transparency, like you have in the pop-up list. Create a Datavisualization and overwrite the texture with it. This solution works relatively well. It is the most versatile solution that I have tested myself. Greeting from Germany Tobi

Thank you Senthil! Hope you can find, what's causing the problem! Greetings from Germany Tobi

Hi, okay, okay! I took my time and made a report: VB 199975. Greetings Tobi

Hi, did you use "Poly Smoothing" on the original Polyline of the Extrude? If i (re)set to "No Smoothing", I can bend the Extrude with the Deform Tool. If that's the problem with the Deform Tool, someone has to make a Bug-Report or a Enhancement Report, if it is not possible to bend smoothed Polylines/Polygons Greetings from Germany Tobi

Merci! ... maybe you are more familiar with prepositions than I am, even if I've been awake for a long time. 😎 Greetings Tobi

Hi Michael, and thanks for the opportunity for our users here. ❤️ / / / I installed the plugin into my Plugin-Ins folder in the main application folder, and integrated the plugin into my menu with the workspace-editor. Is that the way you recommend? … or can it be done faster, maybe with the Plug-In-Manager? by-the-way: I always have to use Deepl to translate my weird English into a better format. Greetings and many thanks for your help Tobi

@michaelk Hello Michael, Many greetings and a great plugin. I love it. I don't know why this is not a standard plugin in VW!!! May I introduce your plugin in the German forum? I think there are many overseas customers who need such a feature. I refer to you as the author. and will write a small how-to (installation, integration in menu, …) Greetings from Germany Tobi

… don't forget to vote for this thread!

Hi, a "Ribbon" for worksheets alone would be worth a yearly update for me! … so please, please, please. 😉 Enjoy your weekend. Greetings from Germany Tobi

Hey, it would also help, if we are able to join/connect roofs with all existing geometry types like: solids, subdivisions, Nurbs-Surfaces, …, Imagine you have a existing high wall, and you can easy connect/extend a lower roof-face with the connect/combine tool to this wall.

Hi, I would love to see the flexile way of editing Solids like Subdivisions. Lesser complicated editing, a more easy and intuitive way could be a worthwhile investment.

Hi, @Matt Panzer I made a report: VB-199582. Hope we see a fix in a foreseen future! Greetings Tobi

Hi, no luck with all settings I tried so far. I also tried to rebuild the whole situation in VW 2024 with new walls and roof or roof-face. … it must be a bug! Greetings Tobi

This is what I get with my settings in VW 2024.

Hi, my test-file was from VW 2022. I opened it with VW 2024 and it seems that something is going wrong with 2024. I need to investigate what may be causing the problem and fill out a bug report. Greetings Tobi

Hi rDesign, that's what we are here for, to learn from each other! The VW community is great. ❤️! For me, the tow-roof-technique helped me much, I learned that sometimes you have to think around the corner and be creative with the given tools. But I hope also, we can get an improvement for the roof-tool, that we don't have to use two roofs anymore to get perfect roof/wall fittings. Greetings from Germany and have a nice week. Tobi

Hi rDesign, greetings. Sloping the wall in the blue circle is achievable with the technique I mentioned above. In my test-file you see, every wall is sloped to direction the 2nd roof (the interior roof). I tried to draw walls in various directions and all walls fit perfect to the roof. The walls cut the roof perfect with the settings I made in the styles. The shape of the interior-roof is defined by the inner side of the outer-walls. You can also use a dummy-roof with just one component with 0,00001 cm (components with a value of 0 cm aren't possible) to clip the walls. Attached some screenshots from the inner-roof connected with inner-walls.

Hi, helpful is to use two different roofs. One for connecting the interior-walls and one for connecting the exterior-walls. We (here in Germany) often split slabs to a load-bearing slab-style and a non-load-bearing slab-style. This technique is adapted to roofs in my attached file. Idea and credits goes to: DomC (CH)! If you use this technique, you can achieve perfect wall/roof-connections. Please see my attached file (VW 2022) and the video from DomC (German). 22-07-26 Dach Test.vwx Greetings from oversea Tobi

Hi, the new View Bar version 1 is very good and i like it much. My ideas for Version 2: - I would love to see the “Attributes Panel” integrated into the View Bar. This could be the best place for that kind of information! - Custom ordering for the View Bar AND the “Quick Preferences” - An option to define which of the palette left / right goes to the top so that the View Bar sits in between. This would bring the information in the View Bar, more in focus for users like me with a 21:9 monitor. - Text Panel: Some options are hidden (see screenshot). We have the space to bring it to the front AND please a font-size-adjuster for +1 and -1. Greetings from Germany and have a nice weekend Tobi

Hi, just a quick boost! Any news to the detailer tool in 2023 / 2024? Greetings Tobi

Merci Pat.

Hi, okay, we can get the field type with script. Is it also possible to integrate such script into a worksheet itself and specify from which field type I want to get the data? Greetings Tobi

Hi Tom, greetings and many thanks for your answer. I will test it. Greetings and have a nice day Tobi
