Is there a way to say to VW that I'm the project owner?

I'm using VW 2021 SP3 and still having this issue. I saved, committed to the project file, closed and released my work last night I was working on this project for the last couple of weeks and everything was going really well. Today morning when I started to modify the object that I've created in the same machine that I've used for the last couple of weeks I'm getting this error. Attached screenshot (FYI I'm the user 'rishie' and I'm using in the same machine and same login) Please note that last night the working file crashed while I was working so I took the backup working file from my machine and overwritten it to my original working file. Also, I saved and commented on my work to the project file later. Is this activity connect with the above issue somehow? How can I move forward now? I've restarted my machine, created a new working file from the project file with no luck yet Thank you, Rishie I remember checking out

This looks like a bug. Can any one let me know how can i ping the concern team to look into it and so they can validate and keep if it in their WishList if they find it has some value.

Hi I got a second display and now i want to have one of my sheet layer on it while i'm working on my model in a design layer in my primary display. I researched and found that i can achieve it with by creating a floating view plane in Vectorworks but whenever i create a floating display it just comes out with a empty space and i don't see any information of my model there just a empty space as it shows in the attached screenshot. Can anyone help me with this? FYI, I've VW 2021 SP3 runs in a Mac with Mac OS Catalina Version : 10.15.7 (19H2) and the second display is iPad connect with Airplay.

Don't we have an option to control the Graphic properties of roof fascia?, just checking here I'm using VW 2021 and I don't find a setting to control roof fascia texture and 2d graphics. I want to show my roof in dotted line in plan view when I use VP class override I'm able to control other parts of the roof but not the fascia. Can you explain if there is a way to control the graphic attributes of roof fascia?

Is the issue still the same? Don't we have an option to control the Graphic properties of roof fascia? I'm using VW 2021 and I don't find a setting to control roof fascia texture and 2d graphics.

Hi All 🙂 In my worksheet, i want to extract only the unit size of my door and window for window I'm able to extract it by the formula, ='Window'.'OverallWidth' and ='Window'.'OverallHeight' but I'm unable to do it for my door. I don't find a formula that returns the overall (unit) door width and height. I use ='Door'.'Width' for now, but I'm inserting the door in my document by its door's leave size and not by unity size. While I'm sending this to the manufacturers I need that worksheet to have a unit size, not the rough opening or leaf size can you let me know if we have a formal similar to ='Window'.'OverallWidth', this for the window in the door?

Thank you Dave this works 🙂

Hello Everyone, I'm really happy with forum as it makes me to learn more and make Vectorworks and my life easy 🙂. Thank you so much! Can anyone here help to understand how can i remove the grey shade around around my site, i need my site to be brighter as my second screenshot attached here. FYI the second screenshot shot is captured by setting the sun to be at noon and so it's bright. can i do any specific rendering setting similar to it when my sun raise and sets?

Hello, When I export an IFC file it makes the file size 3 times larger than the VW file size. The VW file is around 800 MB and the IFC file is around 2.6GB which makes my client find it difficult to operate with it. Can you advise me with a good settings which will reduce the export file size? Setting that works with the facilities management industry. Thank you very much in advance! Note: 1) IFCZip is not working well with my client for some reason. 2) I'm in top plan view and the 3D conversion resolution is set to 'low' still there is no improvement in the file size. FYI, I've imported an IFC file which was exported from Revit and i'm fixing the spaces with VW 2020 and exporting it back to IFC. it will be helpful if you can advice me a better setting in the whole process which can reduce my file size.

Hi, I'm creating a fence from a line and I want the line to be on the left edge on the fence. i.e, the fence should be inside the line touching it at the left side of the fence. Is there a way to achieve it while creating the fence from "objects from shapes command". Also how the offset works here, I've tried all the offset command but the objects is place exactly on the line, I don't think the offset command performs here. Can anyone here me with this?

Extracting room dimension extracts length x width of a space. "length as the longest side of the space I would like to have the label to be consistent, i.e., if show the dimension in 'x' distance and 'y' distance and not length and width Attached a screenshot for clarity For now, I'm setting up two custom Space Label one has Width x Length and the other has length x width and assign it manually based on the geometry. If there is a way to automate this, it would be helpful. Thanks!

Thank @jnr, yes I'm able to get the shape:)
