    T model window

    I find the window tool very limiting in what configurations you can make.   Lately I've just been placing window or door openings in a wall,  then using the curtain wall tool to create what I want.   You can create almost any shape you need with the curtain wall tool.   Then I make a group from the curtain wall and place it into the opening.


    It would be really great if VW would allow you to place a curtain wall into another wall. 

    Thanks for the tip, I will try. What it concerns me is that when doing fast sketches, then workflow will be a little bit slower, but is nice to have a workaround.

    The Australian distributor actually has a far superior window and door modelling tool called Windoor.

     

    Nemetschek should buy it from them and put it into the standard VW version.

    And it is ridiculous that in this era where globalization is here and you can work in any part of the world for anybody your tool is "limited" to an specify region... not good at all. Additionally, I find it really sad and ironic that a CAD/BIM program needs a window tool plugin 🙄.

    Vectorworks is REALLY SLOW lately!

    I have been using VW since MiniCad era and yes all I can say is that VW has become a really slow heavy software, if you  ask me I think that the team should stop what they are doing and just focus on making the program lightweight.

     

    For me VW behave like a bloatware were are so many features (unfinished btw). On the company that I work now uses Archicad and that thing is lighting fast compared with VW. Just to put it in perspective, with VW I draw basic one stair houses and I suffer of slowness all time around, and in Archicad I draw shopping malls, schools, buildings and that thing don't even blink when dealing with that kind of complex models... I hope the developers could make a benchmark tool so they can see by themselves how slow dog VW is.

    Replacing symbols

    in Known Issues

    Posted

    Hi all,

     

    Since the last two SP if I replace a symbol with some Record ofrmat attached this records doesn´t update to the new symbol, it "remembers" the record format from the old symbol.

    I´m on Win10, VW 2017 SP3

    Cheers,

    Auto join walls switch

    in Architecture

    Posted

    Hi all,

     

    In my work I often need to switch between enable and disable Auto join walls and it is really tedious open the preferences all the time, so my question is if there is a way to create a script that enable/disable this to have it all the time in the workspace?

     

    Cheers,

    Looks like your object are 2D. So maybe this could be an option?

    Complex at first view but you can generate hundreds of different Window-Sizes out of one prototype geometry.

    Thank you so much, this is excellent. :D

    PS. May I ask couple of questions?

    1- Is there a way to "hide" the p Name field from the OIP?

    2- I would like to generate a text using the param Dim, I have a setup for it but no luck.

    Thanks for the video, I have check thos already and I couldn´t find an answer for it.

    I have created my very own object already long time ago but now it´s time to improve it and reduce the amount of nodes, as you can see here is far from perfect because I´m generating each object separated, but if I use a current geometry and just modify the size this will reduce and simplify the object

    I will explain a little bit the purpose of my question.

    I make many drawings for a house factory and they have their own window representation in floor plan view, and this windows can´t be reproduce it by VW windows tool so I need to make my own library (which I have with too many symbols) but now I would like to make my custom window object using marionette in order to ease my life when the windows sizes changes and my goal is to make this object as less nodes as possible so it doesn´t become a memory hog drawing.

    Hi all,

     

    Is there a way to modify the x and/or y size of a group object?

    The only thing that I find in marionette is scale and I would need a real x/y value not scale ratio.

     

    Thanks in advance,

    Juan

    Jim, another query :)

    I currently have c4d visualize 13. I would like to upgrade but want too keep the cost down. Will vw work with c4d prime?

    Thanks.

    I have R17 Prime and VW2016 send the files fine as far as I have tested.

    Cheers,

    Juan
