"Framing member" vs "structural member" tools

Hi Tom, greetings. … sorry if I misunderstood line-weights wishes. … I'm not native in english. Greetings Tobi -
"Framing member" vs "structural member" tools
Tobias Kern replied to line-weight's topic in Architecture
Hi, in the 3D symbol, you can also draw your own 2D geometry to represent Top/Plan graphic, you get a hybrid symbol if both 2D and 3D geometry exists. The 2D geometry (in the 2D part of the symbol) is also affected by the scaling. … you can have the best of both worlds in one scalable symbol. AutoHybrids are also possible in symbols. / / / By the way: An overhauled "Truss Engine" is part of the Public Roadmap. https://www.vectorworks.net/en-US/public-roadmap I hope this will enhance the "Structural Member" too. … let's see what we get?

Dividers for Layers and Sheets
Tobias Kern replied to Tom Klaber's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Yes, filtering is needed too! The palette is not very user-friendly at the moment. I only use longer names for the views because of the sorting i want. -

I will write a Wish, specific for the "Saved Views" palette to VW Inc. and refer to this Thread. -
Dividers for Layers and Sheets
Tobias Kern replied to Tom Klaber's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Hi, The Save Views palette must also be updated: - Sorting options - Search options - "real" Divider - Colors options - Tags At the moment, this kind of palette has no more options like showing us the views, not more. There is unused potential in my eyes! Greeting and have a nice Weekend Tobi -
Hi Kevin, Merci beaucoup for sharing this. Have a great Xmas time. Greetings from the gray and cold Germany Tobi

Dividers for Layers and Sheets
Tobias Kern replied to Tom Klaber's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
… maybe the dividers should disappear for another sort order. Colors (text and/or underlying) are one of my wishes too for better visualizing Layers and Sheet. This shouldn't make problems with sorting. Greetings Tobi -

Hi Pat, greetings and Thx for help. I test your suggestion, and it works, but I think it is too complicated / time-consuming for a “standard”-user. Therefore, I think it would be useful to have extra formulas for sumIF and countIF with the possibility to search inside database subrows, with the same syntax, the Excel formulas work. Greetings Tobi

Hi, greetings. This thread describes that we need new formulas like: SumIF + countIF (with the ability to search inside database subrows). Example: =sumIF(H2='xx') OR =countIF(H2='xx) It would be fantastic, if we could get new formulas like these. Greetings from Germany Tobi

Navigation palette
Tobias Kern replied to joey altalef's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Hi, big yes! The palettes are not really up to date! My wishes: - Underlying colors for layers AND classes - color for layer-names and class-names - separation-line as own object (no dummy layer) + jump-over-function if shortcuts are used: "CMD + arrow down" OR "CDM + arrow up" - layer-groups - Ability to showing notes and tags in palette (if I want it) - custom ordering of headline (e.g., if I want "#" at first) - UI-scaling (the fonts are too small) - better reading standard menu font! The used font is not good to read! There are much better fonts, specially designed for displays, for the whole menu in VW. Greetings from Germany Tobi -
Wall End Cap Screws Up Window Openings in Wall
Tobias Kern replied to E|FA's question in Troubleshooting
Hi Matt, greetings and Thx for reply. Great to hear it will be fixed in SP2. … just one week to wait for SP2 in Germany Greetings Tobi -
Hi, I would try to filter “Materials”. This method would also be handy if you use different materials for different phases. Each “Material” for: new, demolition, … So you can visualize many component phases in just one wall. You can perfectly filter Materials and it works also perfect in Section-Cuts. It should be clear, that the Brick component is load-bearing, only the Brick Component will be colored, but if you want to have the whole wall colored, Pat's solution is working.

Wall End Cap Screws Up Window Openings in Wall
Tobias Kern replied to E|FA's question in Troubleshooting
Hi Matt, greetings. Here you go! In the screenshot, you see the component overwrite the opening of the first 2 openings of the wall, beginning at wall start. This behavior changes, as you flip wall-start-point (2nd wall in the background). Please notice that I used wall end caps with two component on both wall endings!

Wall End Cap Screws Up Window Openings in Wall
Tobias Kern replied to E|FA's question in Troubleshooting
@Matt Panzer Hi Matt, greetings and hope you are fine. Is there any progress on this behavior so far? I have a lot of problems with bug! Your proposed workaround does not work, if you connect two components. Openings from Doors and Windows will be closed but only with the combined component, the bug only occurs (in my test) from the start point of the wall and only occurs in the first two openings (see attached screenshot and test file = VW 23 SP1.0.2 German Version). Door 1 and 2 is affected. If you delete door 2 then door 3 (= new door 2 after deletion from start) will be affected. BUG: - start from wall - only first two openings Hope we see this bug fixed in VW 2023 and don't have to wait until VW 24. Greetings from Germany Tobi 22-11-18 VW23 BUG components.vwx -
My Cut List Template (worksheets)
Tobias Kern replied to Bruce Kieffer's topic in Resource Share - Worksheets
Hi Bruce, greetings. I solved a long time problem this week (with help of Pat). I often draw 3D symbols with 1 x 1 x 1 cm and scale these symbol-instances to my needed size. The problem was, that I can't get a working quantity take-off, because the symbols have different rotation in plan and formulas like height, width, … won't work. The solution is to get the scale factors into a worksheet formula. This can be done with: =OBJECTDATA('OBJECT VARIABLE', 102) | = x-scale-factor =OBJECTDATA('OBJECT VARIABLE', 103) | = y-scale-factor =OBJECTDATA('OBJECT VARIABLE', 104) | = z-scale-factor Now it is possible to get valid quantity take-off from every “simple” 3D geometry/symbols with worksheets. It doesn't matter how the symbols are inserted in plan the axis of the symbol counts, not the VW main axis. That's a huge improvement for me. Greetings from Germany. Tobi- 1 reply

Hi, I found a overview here: https://developer.vectorworks.net/index.php/VS:Function_Reference_Appendix_G#Symbols … but the "scale factors" are not listed there. It seems the overview is not really complete! Greetings Tobi

Hi, tried … … and works! Perfect. This solution means a lot for quantity take-offs of "simple" 3D geometries! Greetings and many many Thnx Tobi

Hi Pat, is there an overview for all 'object variables'? Greetings Tobi

Hi and Mercy beaucoup! I will try it out in the comming days! Greetings from Germany Tobi

Rhino.Inside for Vectorworks
Tobias Kern replied to elepp's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Hi, Rhino.inside would be very welcome! The tools for Nurbs are very limited in VW. Greetings obi -
Hi VW-User, greetings. Unfortunately, I do not have any experience with scripts yet. I have an idea, but do not know if it is possible to achieve. Often I use symbols with 1 x 1 x 1 cm, in plan I scale these symbol-instances to my needed size. The plan was to get the scaled size into worksheet-reports, but in worksheets, the symbols are reported without my custom scale-factors. All scaled symbols are 1 x 1 x 1 cm in my reporting. For symbols as objects, there are no formulas or other functions to get directly information into worksheets. Now I want to know if it is possible to get the “scale factors” for x, y and z (each separately as own script) with scripts, so that I can use it with “run script” in my worksheets to get accurate reports. / / / It would be great, if we can get functions and formulas for symbol reporting in worksheets directly, without the need of a script.
