  1. I don't think VW can export to .3dm directly. Are you trying to open it in Rino? In any case there is no 3D geometry in the drawing. It looks like it is all 2D.
  2. This is one of the things that seems random when learning vectorscript. Some things are controlled with functions and some are controlled with ObjectVariable - Boolean/Handle/Int/LongInt/Point/Real/String If you can't find it, just keep asking 🙂
  3. I'm not the most qualified on this forum to answer VS questions - but… I usually use something like SymbolHandle := LNewObj; LNewObj returns a handle for the last object created by the currently executing script. That way there's no confusion if you have a handle to a symbol instance or a symbol definition.
  4. Wait. Just reread your post. You want to set an absolute angle, not a rotation from the existing angle?
  5. If you are trying to rotate a symbol already in the drawing: GetSymLoc(SymbolHandle, xLoc, yLoc); HRotate(SymbolHandle, xLoc, yLoc, RealNumberHere );
  6. Draw a wall. Set the height of the wall. Insert a door object. Set the door configuration to Opening or Cased Opening (looks like opening in your photo). Set the top shape to be round. Type in values for the width and height of the door.
  7. @hollister design Studio That is a great question. I don't see any way of doing it with regular worksheet functions. I took a quick look to see if there was a Vector Script way of determining if an object had a data tag associated with it. I couldn't find one. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist!
  8. @Cristiano Alves Double check your criteria. Line 1 says ALL criteria in this set. Then there are two criteria indented in. . Location is within Area Plateia 1 . Location is within Area Golden Circle If an object doesn't meet the criteria then it doesn't get to be in your database! The way you have it specified only objects that are in both of the areas will be included in the database. Change line 1 in the criteria to read ANY criteria in this set. Now the database will include any object that is in area 1 OR area 2. If you look at the bottom of the criteria dialog box you will see the number of objects that meet the criteria. This is a great way of double checking your work as you add and remove criteria.
  9. I don't remember there being a worksheet for this. I'm sure you found Tools > Reports > Create Panel Schedule… I thought it was always like that(?). Maybe there was a localized report. I agree it's strange for you to get a panel schedule with conduit in inches 🙂 . Do you have a 2007 file with a panel schedule?
  10. Open the worksheet. Right click on the cell that is truncating the text > Format Cells… > Alignment Tab > Check Wrap Text.
  11. I'd love to know the answer to this also! I almost always have to share files with other people. I used to have a fancy font that I really liked. I gave up years ago and now use only Arial.
  12. If you can post a file here with just the symbol in it, or if it's proprietary you can send it to me in a personal message, I'm sure we can figure it out quickly. It's hard to imagine all the possible settings and parameters without seeing it 🙂 .
  13. You can define working plans that are rotated and or offset from any or all axis to make it easier and more convent to work on rooted and offset objects. It's possible to have the front view, for example, be relative to the working plane and not the layer plane. You should get a slightly confusing warning when this is in effect.
  14. Go back and edit the Graphic Legend style > Define Legend Source > change reporting/Report by to INVNT Detail Info/Full Name. That sorts by your data which I think get's you what you want.
  15. Depending on your database criteria, it could be finding symbols that are nested in other symbols, part of a plug-ing object, in viewport annotations, or in a design layer viewport, even one referenced from another file.
  16. Are you in a working plane? Easy to do. Ask me how I know. If you can post an example of the symbol I'm sure someone will figure it out quickly.
  17. This file sends up a warning that it was made with an illegal version of Vectorworks and won't open.
  18. Interesting. Maybe it's a bug? Show Root Ball (I know what that means) has a pulldown in the worksheet with the defined choices. I would expect that the plant tags would do the same thing.
  19. I just tried price - because I know what price of a plant means - and it works as expected. It's possible that tag display isn't actually direct parameter (?). The data for that parameter is in pulldowns, but you have to type Left,Right,Center,None. So it may be a just for display parameter.
  20. I see. So it changes in the worksheet, but the actual position of the tag doesn't move. Right?
  21. You know, I never actually applied for that patent. Probably wouldn't have gotten it anyway. I am horrible with plants, both virtual and real. Can you post a file with a few actual styled plants and a worksheet with data you would want to edit so I can see what you're trying to do?
  22. No, there was something wrong with that symbol. I altered the 3D geometry data assignments and that made it happy.
  23. Make sure your layer options are set to show/snap others or show others AND make sure all your layers are set to the same scale
  24. The file you posted is 2023. Do either of these work? Robe Test 2024 v2023.vwx Robe Test 2024.vwx
