    I will fill in a bug about that and make sure this is editable as well and not constantly set to 2/8.

     

    Hi @Nikolay Zhelyazkov , sorry for bothering you. The bug with the worksheets keeps on occurring. Do you know when will it be fixed? Have you filed the bug?

     

    Thanks in advance.

  2. With the release of VW 2020 and Mac OS Catalina just around the corner I hope very much that the story of VW 2019 and Mac OS Mojave does not occur again. I hope that VW 2020 and Mac OS Catalina have a friendly relationship from the start. It would be awesome to update directly to Mac OS Catalina when it comes out and not have to delay the update because of Vectorworks! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

  3. It's a whole different story though if the wall feature is placed at the end of the wall... Wall projections are not meant to be placed at the end of walls, am I right?

     

    I attach a file in which a wall with a wall projection should then pass to a wall that doesn't have brick cladding. Can't find a way to model this.

  4. Hi,

     

    I attach a wall that has a wall feature attached to it. The wall has two components, one of the components (the brick cladding), has an offset relative to the wall of - 50 cm

     

    I'd like the wrapping of the feature component be done by the brick cladding but at the correct height. Is this possible?

     

    I tag @Alan Woodwell and @Matt Panzer as you both seem to know very well the wall tools. I would appreciate very much a hand!!

  5. Hi,

     

    I've been trying to solve this for a while now but i can't. Maybe someone can give me a hand.

     

    When I activate the caps of my wall, it caps both components with black. I'd Like the grey component to be also capped with grey.

     

    Thanks in advance

  6. Many thanks for your answer @zoomer. It's a real pity one can't change this. It's much more comfortable to reach the space bar (it's larger and more centered on the keyboard) than the ctrl key. 

     

    If I wouldn't have a three button mouse and only a two button mouse, I would leave the space bar to pan, but, when you have a three button mouse what I do is that when I pan I don't press the spacebar, I simply press my middle mouse button. So with a three button mouse it makes more sense ergonomically to press the space bar an not the ctrl key to temporarily invoke the orbit tool.

     

    I hope this preference gets implemented somewhere in Vectorworks Preferences in the future! Either in a service pack or in a future release of VW.

  7. Hi all,

     

    When using Vectorworks and a mouse that has a middle mouse button one can hit ctrl + middle mouse button to invoke the ORBIT TOOL. If one simply hits the middle mouse button than one can PAN.

     

    Here's my question. I'd like to hit space bar + the middle mouse button and invoke the ORBIT TOOL. Is there a preference somewhere that one can change in order to do this?

     

    Thanks in advance!

    Are you sure the "Use Hinge Marker Class Attributes" option is selected?

    If so, can you send me a file showing the problem?

    Hi @Matt Panzer I was just editing my response to you.

     

    The bug is not present any more.

     

    Use hinge marker class setting was activated but I was doing something that did not make sense in another place. In my section viewport, under advanced section viewport properties>Objects Beyond/Below Cut Plane>Line Style> I was using a class setting and not the original attributes of the window.

     

    My apologies, my bad!

    @JHAM Alan's right, unchecking this option will fix your immediate problem.

     

    But I think there's still a bug when using the Class attributes option that causes the line to be solid in Hidden Line render. Rendering in OpenGL using this option is fine, for instance.

    The bug of not showing the correct line characteristics using the class attributes in a Hidden Line render still exists. I hope it gets fixed soon.

  10. Hi @jeff prince 

     

    I'd go for the iMac instead of the iMac Pro. It's Intel i9 processor is very good and according to what I've been seeing on the internet has been managing thermals very good. 

     

    It's a shame though that the new iMac doesn't have a T2 chip or two more thunderbolt ports and the 10Gb ethernet port but all of this stuff are not essential at least for me...

     

    Also never buy RAM from apple if you have the option to upgrade it yourself and buy it elsewhere.

     

    A video comparing both machines: 

     

    Here I leave you two screenshots of a beast of a machine under $6000 ($4249.00 + $948.99 = $5,197.99)

    Hope all this helps a bit on your decision.
