  1. Hi, I am having 2 problem on walls now but it does not happen to all. 1. took a long time to join walls. (both are same wall style) 2. took a long time to create a rectangle / polygon if it is snapped to wall points. 3. took a long time to flip a wall What i can say is any operation on walls will take longer time. This problem started after i : 1. renamed my project file 2. renamed my stories & design layers Does my vwx file have problem or anything i can do to fix this? Thanks, IMG_2217.mov
  2. Sorry @line-weight , i am a bit confused on which method are you referring. 😇 i tried to set the classes to have hatching but nothing happen.
  3. Hi, I saw several posts which have similar problems with me. Can we have an option to make / override elements appearance to match classes settings when choosing 'Hidden Line' mode for section viewports? There is an option for it but it doesn't work. Elements in elevations will appear as solid white. Please see attached image. Thanks,
  4. Thanks @line-weight , I do prefer working by components & classes, the setup will be a bit complicated but its a good method if you ask me.Will have a try on this. So is it correct for me to say that i can't get any elements to have difference appearance if i choose 'Hidden Line' for Background Render coz it will appear as solid white only? I must go with OpenGL in order to get what i wanted. Thanks for the sharing.✌️
  5. Hi @line-weight , I did try all possible options based on your table but still can't get what i want. Thanks anyway. Will keep working on it. 👌 Hi @Boh , I tried open gl option. The thing is every elements need to have textures and not all elements will appear correctly. Thanks. 👌 😔
  6. Hi, I need help on 3d elements appearance settings. I have created an elevation sheet using section viewport. The problem is the elements appearance cannot be override by changing the classes attributes. It works fine on 2d elements/annotations but not on 3d elements ie: wall, door, curtain wall etc. Only line color will be override but not the fill. I choose 'Hidden Line' for the Background Render (Extents beyond Cut Plane) option in OIP. Need this so all elements are differentiate by color / pattern. Thanks,
  7. @Christiaan I tried that option but still the same. Thanks anyway.
  8. Hi, Is there anyone else having problem with vwx ifc imported into revit? Fyi, I am using VWX 2019. When i open / link the ifc files into revit, nothing is linked / visible. I did the same process in VWX2018 before and it work just fine. Any settings / workaround to resolve this issue? Thanks,😇
  9. Hi @Matt Panzer , This issue happens in certain files only. I have redo all the slabs affected. Shall share the file if the issue comes in future. Thanks,
  10. Hi there, I am facing an issue on slab editing after upgrading to VWX2019. What happens is i 'double click' my slab to adjust the boundary but there is no boundary appear. Once i click the 'exit boundary' option this dialog box will appear (refer attached image) and my slab will be deleted. This works fine in VWX 2018. Can anyone help me on this please? Currently we are making new slabs to replace the old one. ☹️ Thanks,
  11. Hi All, I recently upgraded to VWX2019. Yup, the processing is much better than VWX2018. I am trying to get the X,Y or N/E coordinates for setting out purposes. I used VB XY in previous version. However it does not work in 2019. Any workaround or method to get it done? Thanks,
  12. @Hans-Olav Following the same topic, what should i do if the administrator released all the item checked out by me using the "custom release" command? What happened is i cannot commit any changes that i have made to project file. A message just popped up mentioning i need to contact my administrator. Even he doesn't know what to do.😬 End up we create a new project file.😅 Thanks,
  13. Hi Jim, That is what i did. It turns out this issue not happening to roof only but to some of extrusion object as well. Maybe this is a disadvantage in separating model in several files. 😞
  14. Hi All, I have a problem concerning roof element. Sorry if i am in the wrong thread. Firstly my model / files are separated by floors and blocks since the project i am working on can consider as huge & i am using VWX2018. What happened is the roof element in its original file sits fine according to stories that i wanted. Once i referenced it into my overall model file the roof element 'z' value will not follow its stories but will appear floating above the building. Any idea where should i look to resolve this issue? Thanks,
  15. Got it @zoomer . I am trying to fully utilise vwx tools, in this case the curtain wall. I will work using my normal method which similar to your explanation above. Good to know there is somebody else having the same difficulty as i am. 😀
  16. Hi there, I would like to use curtain wall tools to create my building facade. The problem is i need to customise the frame profile and rotation. Any idea ? Reason why i am using curtain wall tools is the option of controlling the grids in curtain wall. Attached is an image of how i would like my fins to look like. Thanks,
  17. Hi Hans, That works just fine. Thanks.
  18. Hi there, I am working in project sharing environment. And this happened, When i wanted to edit the element (in this case it is one of my viewport), the warning pop up saying the element are checked out by another user which is my name. I know it sounds odd but this is happening to me. Can anyone help me on this? Thanks.
  19. Hi All, I am using VWX 2018 and yup this problem still exist. Once i close and reopen my files title block is not visible, only the borders are.What i did was select the title block and move 0,0 and it will appear again. Goes well too is you double click title block for editting, move by nudge etc. as long you do some operation on the title block it will appear again.Just imagine if i have hundreds of sheets. Hopefully VWX will find a solution for it. Thanks,
  20. Hi, I opened the ifc file in revit & the grid line does not appear, only levels are in the ifc file. I export using 2x2 & 2x3 ifc format. Tried also to link in revit using ifc 4 format. But still does not appear. Its ok, i am just curious if there is other user facing the same issue and found the solution. Btw, i am both revit & vwx user. :-)
  21. Hi elepp, Thanks for the option but i still cant export grids & propertyline to IFC format. I downloaded the sample file in the tread given but it use combination of lines,text to make the grids but i use grid tool for mine & property line tool. the grid lines are assign to ifcgridaxis similar in the sample file. but still no luck on it. Thanks anyway.
  22. Hi, First of all I am a beginner in Vectorworks 2018. Sorry if my question have been resolved before but I could not find the related tread in this forum. Just a simple one. I am working with consultant that used Revit. How can I include my property line & grid line to exported IFC format. I need to pass this setting out for them to follow.I found out that levels will follow when I create the stories. Can anyone help me? Thanks,
  23. Hi, I am upgrading from VWX 2D conventional use to VWX architects since I need to comply with BIM requirement to any current project. So I am really beginner to this workflow. I wonder is there any options to add prefix or suffix onto the property line segments annotation. In my country, what we are practicing now is despite the distance & bearings to be shown along the property line we used to annotate it according to its uses. Ex: boundary line. building setback line, basement setback line etc. As of now I will just put a text for it. Just wonder... Thanks.
  24. Thanks for the reply Pat. Will look into it.
  25. Hi Jonathan, Thanks for the reply but i know i can do that in a normal worksheets. But can i do this in the door schedule with the preset format? But i will get that tutorial manual.
