A person with a keen eye in our office has just pick up what appears to be a spelling mistake in the Title Block Border Settings under drawing stamp. Display Drawing Stamp, 'For Developement Application Only" Should it be Development ???? Over to you

@Tom W. Well that was easy!! thanks Alan

Hi Is there a way to change all the stair tread components at once rather than one at a time? Thanks

Hi Have an issue with text in a symbol. Rotate it 90 deg and shows sideways. Rotate it 180Deg and shows ok. Rotate 270Deg and shows sideways. Anyway any way to make it horizontal. Regards Alan Text Rotation.vwx

@twk Hi i know this tool but it selects the complete face of the wall. Was sure there was one that did the wall within a room like second pic. Thanks

I seem to recall a tool that would extract a section of a wall surface within a room rather than the whole wall. Am i dreaming or does it exist? Thanks

@Tom W.Hi Thanks Tom cant play file it requires a HEVC Extension which i have to pay a few dollars for. But I added the file to the Defaults Standards folder as you said and this time restarted VW and all is good. Thanks for your patience, much appreciated. 🙂 Alan

Hi Thanks I must be a real NOOB. I can see the drawing but to bring in say 10 selected classes into a new file from my template file i cant see how to do that. Back to my original question click on new class and you see all the standard templated from which you can choose a number of classes. Navigate to my template file and while VW is open i can continually choose classes from template. Close vw and restart template doesn't show, so i have to renavigate to template. Would like it to stay. Aim is to choose multiple classes at a time and import. Thanks

@Tom W. Thanks Tom, I have put a .VWX file and a .sta drawing in this location. i can access it continually while i keep Vectorworks open, but when i close VW i have to browse to it. Would be nic to have it viible all the time. Thanks

Hi all. I know how to import new classes into a drawing but i have to continually navigate to the template drawing, the reference location stays while i have VW open. Open a new drawing i need to navigate to it again. How do i place the template file so it is always visible in this dialogue box. I have tried placing it in the server workgroup folder but with no success Thanks

Hi All and again Thanks to Vectorworks Australia for working out my issue . My graphics driver was way out of date. well if other have the same problem this should be the solution.

Hi Anyone have issues with update 4 when you try to render an elevation viewport it crashed the program everytime. Have tried it on Update 1-3 and all works fine. How can i roll back to a workable version. Thanks

Hi When you import to Twin Motion make sure you have double sided ticked. see attached

These are the only tool that are available to me. Which one is used all the time? Thanks

@Tom W. HI, Which VW tool are you referring to? There are a few and i seem to still have the Aus one. The Aus one is called Draw handrails. Is this now incorporated into the Global version?? and i dont know it. Thanks

@Tom W. Definitely, You instantly get the option to choose a fence style and so simple to send to surface etc etc etc.

@Tom W. Yes thanks for this, i did finally use that option and made life easier. Thanks again.:)

Hi, When i try to place a class to a part of the fence tool i can only select 1 then the dialogue box closes, so if your class is deep within the class hierarchy its a pain. Am i doing something wrong? See small video attached. Nemetschek Vectorworks 2025.01.28 - 15.55.17.02.mp4

How do i send to surface now???

Using 2025 and looking for the fence tool that used to be in 2024. Was able to create a myriad of fence types. am i missing something. the Aus fence tool was wonderful but appears not to work with 2025. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Special thanks to the team at VW Australia for their responses, feedback and advice on setting up Workgroup Folder, Templates and Favourites and solving my problem. 🙂

@Dave Donley@Gunther OK Found the problem So I did another reinstall and exporting worked fine. So I found the problem, it’s our user file when I attach it in tools options Vectorworks Preferences/ User folder I cant export C4D, If I remove the user file and restart VW all works ok again Not sure how to create a user file properly and also our template file has been used from an older file and I recall that this needs to updated to VW2025 but can’t remember how. Maybe you can tell me the steps. At least I think I have found the problem.

@Dave Donley@Gunther So still persists. Thinking about another program that may interfere with it, I use Photoshop to create image for new renderworks texture. So I did another full reinstall of update 2. All worked fine so then I opened photoshop then closed and reopened VW and couldn’t export C4D. Will try another reinstall and just open and close VW to see if its ok.

@Gunther Hi yes done a repair and no fix, did a clean install with update 2 to new folder and all works fine for a while then stops. I have been tolt it ay be a 3rd party software causing the problem. Will have to do another clean install and try other programs to see id one of them makes the export fail again. Thanks

Hi Window and when executing no dialogue box comes up. no error or crash. @Gunther@Dave DonleySo i have done another full uninstal and a reinstall with update 2 and it all works ok now.
