We would appreciate this too - we have been known to manually draw colour over sections of the worksheet, to match our colour-coded landscape plans. If we update the data have to remember to manually edit the graphics, frustrating. This would be an easy conditional formatting task in other spreadsheets/databases...

I can see why it might be confusing, but I actually find it very useful to have the options. I can either: 1. Click 'through' the viewport to get back to 'model space', and use the viewport settings 2. Activate a design layer in the navigation palette, or uncheck 'use viewport visibilities', to get back to the view as I had it before I entered 'paper space' 3. Use a saved view, to get to whatever configuration I thought worthy of saving to get back to. I use all of the above for different reasons, and find it nicely flexible. Only frustrating when I forget to save a view, and have re-entered via a viewport before realising I want the other visibility set back!

Sounds like an odd design to have only 1 species per area... but - have you tried playing with the eyedropper tool settings? Not sure it's possible to separate out density from species, but you can certainly eyedropper landscape area characteristics.

Only just spotting this - but our plea would be for very lightweight, options of different generic-looking but attractive plants as a starting point. We could then work into them if we wanted to. Experience of trying to use the laubwerk plants is that we gave up very quickly because they made things so slow as to be unusable.

I haven't got round to playing with it yet - but is it easy to export back to excel, and edits made within vwx will be reflected in the excel?

If it gets resolved in a way that might be applicable to others, please do share - I can foresee us wanting to do this too, now we have a drone to play with!

Thanks, much appreciated. About to be away moving house for a couple of weeks, but will put it on my list to have a play when I get back to my desk!

Thanks @Jesse Cogswell. Can you please remind me how to run the .vsm file? I've done it in the past, but can't get it to work... I've tried to follow these instructions https://app-help.vectorworks.net/2025/eng/VW2025_Guide/Scripts/Running_scripts.htm but don't seem to have a scripts palette, and the 'Running scripts from files' route doesn't recognise the format.

Have you got the object itself set to use class shadows, in the attributes palette (as well as within the symbol settings?) The angle of the shadow looks different as well, there must be a setting amiss somewhere.

I'm getting this sort of thing too - many of the grades seem to unlink themselves between closing and opening the file where they were previously all linked! Frustrating.

Ooh, I do hope so! When is it out?

I agree - it's great but quite frustrating. I would add: - would like ability to edit the rise/run ratio in object info palette - would like to be able to tell it to round the resulting level to 2 dp when I'm specifying the rise/run - would like much clearer interface to be sure which end I'm editing the level at - would like to be able to follow a curve (e.g. edge or centre line of a curving path, currently have to threepenny-bit it) @Marketa Hermova / @Katarina Ollikainen, any insights welcome?

I haven't had this, but haven't been editing an aligned site modifier.

I'm on 2025 4.1.

I have had this too - my text has a transparency to the fill, which helps to flag up the issue to me because can see the incorrect number overlaid, and then I re-link them, but still not ideal!
