  1. Except that if I turn off the class with my stamp it universally turns off my stamp on all pages, not just the engineering pages. I was hoping there was a way to do this so I could print the entire set with my title block, my seal, and their seal. then send out for digital signature. Creating a separate title block doesn't necessarily solve the problem of duplicate seals being visible, but could be a workaround. I just want to avoid that as it creates confusion in the office when working with multiple people.
  2. Is there a way to have more than one stamp on the title block? I.e. we have engineers that we want to show their stamp on the MEP sheets but not our architectural stamp. They are in the same location. Is there a way to control visibility on an individual sheet?
  3. We have noticed all of the same issues. and some others. One of my interns is making a list. I'll post it here next week when she's back from vacation. I noticed the base and upper cabinet tools are now "legacy". I really hope they don't do what they did with the Custom Stair tool that everyone loved and they made it completely non-functional.
  4. I think the issue is your handrails are not continuous points. Start at the deck and work your way around with a continuous line. That should work.
  5. I'm also having issues with custom windows in VW2024. The mullions move to the jamb. I've been a user since 2013 and have never experienced this many issues. Seems like 2024 might need a mulligan.
  6. I have had this issue as well. Just gave up trying to set up camera views at this point.
  7. Juan, we've noticed these issues on multiple files. I'll figure out which one has the most and try to send. Thanks.
  8. Also, custom window object has center mullion on left or right side of window not in center.
  9. Is anyone else having major issues with VW2024? I upgraded the first day, as I always do and I've never had so many issues. First, the link to camera function for the renderworks camera is completely non-functional. I set up a view then go in to edit it and it flips me to a top view no matter what I do. Next I've had issues with floating pallets not collapsing. The roof objects are acting all kinds of wonky - like floating sheathing and shingle layers. Most of this seems to be related to importing 2023 files. This is happening on multiple files and it's getting cumbersome to work in. Anyone else?
  10. Is anyone else having trouble with the VW Cloud Service? Our office is unable to print through the cloud. I have downloaded and reinstalled the VW Cloud Service and still get an error. What's the deal? I'm working with VWArchitect2021 latest service pack.
  11. Has anyone else had issues with the parking space object? The accessible space is all sorts of screwed up. The aisle is placed over top of the adjacent parking space instead of next to it and the width of the accessible space is 5' larger than what is specified in the OIP. HELP! Untitled-1 (dragged).tiff
    Works great! Now, can we make one that is the HSW type? That would be amazing.
  12. This seemed to work. Not entirely sure why as the wall was highlighted when I originally inserted the clerestory window. All is good now though. I'll keep an eye out for this in the future. Thank you for your help!
  13. I've tried that and it is not working. The work around is to have a separate wall above on another design layer, but this is not ideal in almost all situations. Any other thoughts?
  14. Alright, this has only started happening recently. Anyone have an idea why this happens when I insert a clerestory window above a door? Instead of seeing the wall cut by the door it isn't cut by either the door or the window above. Help greatly appreciated!
  15. OK, so I've created a bathroom as a symbol for a large multifamily development. But I need to have the door tags editable for each symbol instance. How do I do that? Thank you!
  16. Thank you, everyone, for your replies and advice. This has been incredibly helpful and instructive. Moving from mostly single family and light commercial to large Multi-family has been an interesting transition. I appreciate all your advice! Cheers.
  17. My most sincere thanks for the input you've all given so far. This particular project is a little complicated so I'm going to adopt a hybrid of just about all the suggestions above. Breaking out the units so that I can reference them (i.e. only draw/detail them once) is going to be a huge savings. Pulling out the elevations, section views and other details into separate referenced files is also going to be a huge savings of both time and CPU power. This will also allow me to bring in outside help without necessarily having to go the Project Sharing route. There have been too many bugs with that lately. Thanks again!
  18. @herbieherb Thank you for your input. I hadn't thought of creating a layer for the units and then referencing them onto the individual stories. This particular project is a historic building, but the units stack vertically so that could save me a boat load of time and frustration. I'll give that a shot and hopefully it will help with the computing power. Currently I have 16mb of ram and a decent graphics card. I may be upgrading near the end of the year so we'll see. Thanks again!
  19. I'm looking for advice on what the best workflow is for a large multifamily project. The project is 5 floors, 145k+sf. Currently my file is 500mb+ and is seriously killing my computer. It takes forever to do simple tasks. Should I break apart the floors into separate files, then reference them into a master file to pull all my sheets together? Or is there a better way? Thank you!

  21. @Matt Panzer The entire wall comes unjoined. I don't know what custom component joins are. I use the join wall tool, not the join component tool. Is that what you meant?
  22. @Matt Panzer It's generally noticed after I have have saved, committed and closed the file then come back to the working file. I do not notice it happening while I'm working in the file. However that's not to say it doesn't happen. One thing I can think of is that all my wall types are different. This particular project is an old historic masonry building and so I have about 15 different wall thicknesses all as their own wall style but with the same class and texture assignments. There are also a fair number of wall projection elements for pilasters at the perimeter of the exterior walls. That may or may not have something to do with it. Thanks!
  23. @Matt Panzer I do not have any idea what might be causing the problem. I am using Project Sharing, though it isn't necessary right now. I am using Design Layer Referencing but not within the building model. The references are for 2D details on separate design layers not tied to stories. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
  24. Lord give me strength. Can someone tell me why all my wall intersections are un-joining when I open the file? It's really getting annoying to spend hours every week re-joining my walls on a 145,000sf multifamily project.
