create the main roof and bay roof separately with polygon tool -> create objects from shape - once you have all your angles you can combine them both

[Add handwritten notes on presentation]

[Corner Window Post Colour]

does anyone know how to change the colour of a corner window post to match rest of window? 
(its a corner window , span wall , corner post ) Have changed everything I can find in OIP

[Palettes remember their size]

does the save palette positions not do this? window -> palettes to find

[Insulation Tool]

I only know this one in the menu?  batt insulation tool...

 

[Create movie; Final Quality Render problem.]

3 days!!??

maybe an external render engine like twinmotion (free) would be worth investigating? 

[Bullnose Stair treads]

not possible with the stair tool  -  you'll have to model the stairs if you want it to match reality 

[Lost a day's work bc VW froze]

check in your vectorworks preferences -> Autosave and see where the backup location is. 

Hopefully you have turned autosave on........

[Updating Workgroup Library for new version]

I set up a new 2025 folder on the server and use migration assistant to transfer 2024 -> to 2025. 

Then just change the folder location in your vectorworks settings. Usually pretty quick.

There's no easy way to quickly switch to orbit (Flyover tool)

There's a hot key option for it?  Absolutely already part of workflow.

 

[Twinmotion & Vectorworks classes]

you have the option in TM to replace material (which will apply to all of same material ) or just to apply to object - you just need to change the selection option as below.

 

Ideally, try and class your objects in vectorworks before exporting to twinmotion if you want to separate items out.

[Cabinet Tool - heights grayed out]

click the calculator looking icon first !! 

[Custom Window muntins]

you had no sash selected on other window - change to sash and it works:

[AI integrated Rendering]

getting the same as @twk - blank screen with saved view?

 

Update: @twk restart vectorworks and it seems to work! 

[AI integrated Rendering]

can't install it!  UPDATE: I must read the instructions first !

[Representation of Window Sills in Masonry Walls - 2D]

if using a corner window and 'use wall closure' then cills are even more messed up! 

 

second image is without wall closure.... slightly better !

[Representation of Window Sills in Masonry Walls - 2D]

the window cill won't show correctly in plan if you select an extension to the window cill - 
with and without window cill extension option below? (using update 2 also)

[Not-so-Final Quality Renderworks]

41 mins for the redshift render is just dreadful.... and so far away from the quality of the corona render its not worth a comparison. 

(I confess I do use corona also and would only use shaded render in vectorworks for quick early stage views) 

 

If you want photorealistic/high end it's off to corona or twinmotion you go....
