A few thoughts. Last spring I paid for two annual VW subscriptions, 1700e or so each, for two new employees. After three months the building industry ground to an almost complete halt and many ongoing design jobs were put to ice. Suddenly there was no work for all of us. Annual subscriptions cannot be suspended or "parked", stated my vendor. I thought I had already paid for a year of use (beforehand, full amount) and not for a particular product. So, factually, I ended up paying about 570e per month per seat for these licenses, since the work situation hasn't improved and very likely will not this winter. I cannot help feeling that I was stolen money from. From now on it's only monthly licenses for new employees, no matter how solid the job situation looks. Or another software product from the same parent company.

So far, no.

Interesting, we had a similar issue with 2023, the program was crashing if any windows were touched. When I deleted the windows and made them from scratch, everything was fine again. I don't know where the troublesome windows originated though. They might have been copied from some previous version files. In general, immediate shutdowns have been an ongoing issue for us for many years now...differently set up PC's suddenly just exiting VW. No crash dump or anything. But the issue does not occur in all projects, only some and usually the larger ones. Most while editing windows or worksheets.

Multi-page legends would be very much needed in architecture as well. Door, window and room schedules are typically a stack of portrait A4's. If I recall correctly, I saw this capability (for worksheets and legends to span multiple pages) mentioned somewhere in the road map...can't find it now though or then my memory doesn't serve well. I think Archicad can do this, at least with doors and windows.

An architect's practice has a bit different angle at stairs...parametrics, editability, reporting, IFC...to name a few. If not for those I would do everything in Rhino...

I'll just leave this here... 🙄

This is a much needed feature, also sometimes called perspective correction, shift lens or parallelism. Good work!

No stair tool rehab in sight...or have I missed something?

Like this, screenshots from a phone video. The black "curtain" travels down the screen a few times before crash. Both different Intel and AMD machines and Win 10/11 OS's. This is a bit rarer than the sudden exit crash, though.

We are experiencing a strange "black curtain" also that slides down the screens and precedes a crash. This is a separate issue from the sudden speedy exit, I think. Again, across completely differenct setups and Win 10/11. VW version 2023, SP8s.

Not sure if this is related, but after doing graphic legend annotations the program stops to think for a loooooong time, after eg. moving something in the annotation space.

Yes, with 2023. The projects are native 2023.

We are experiencing these sudden crashes a lot, too. Worksheets seem to be the usual culprit, but also while drawing something (no pattern detected there). It happens in a blink of an eye, the program simply gone from screen. Across all different pc's and in both Windows 10 and 11. Across brand new machines and very old ones.

Well that does work, sort of! If I set line thickness to .5mm in the attributes palette, the cross looks like a plus sign: No leader line though like you say. Thank you!

Happy new year to everyone. Is there a way to display the stake object elevation so that there is only a plus sign followed by the elevation value? I can't get rid of the dash: Displaying the dash is not an option due to regulations. Thanks.
