Hi Sidney, A few years ago, while I was working with the Vectorworks India team i assisted numerous architects in integrating Vectorworks into their design processes. I am confident that we can also support you in preparing development and construction drawings. Our experience includes over 250+ residential/commercial projects in Melbourne, all of which have successfully obtained planning and building approval. I have sent you a detailed email outlining our capabilities. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you, Rishie

Hi Bahi, I hope you are doing well. My name is Rishie, and I'm an architectural technologist with 6 years of experience in the field. I serve architects, interior designers, and fabricators by producing schematic and construction drawings. Additionally, I specialize in BIM and 3D modeling, primarily utilizing Vectorworks Architect as my design tool. I manage VCAD Studio, where I lead a team of architects and architectural technologists who assist me with operations. You can learn more about us on our website here: Website: https://www.vcad.studio/ You can reach me via email at rishie@vcad.studio. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks, Rishie

it's a 6-story hotel building. We've decided to include stairs in all point cloud files for the building (a 6-story hotel). This will allow us to align all the storeys with the stairs. We hope this approach works well for us. Thanks, Rishie

Hi @Tom W., The surveyor has informed me that the point cloud is currently using the Swiss coordinate system, with coordinates ranging from 2'600'000 to 1'200'000 on the grid. He mentioned that if he could change it to a coordinate system very close to 0/0/0, it might be beneficial. As I'm new to point cloud projects, I'm unsure about the specifics. Is this something you can assist me with? Additionally, he mentioned uncertainty about adding a 3D loci in the point cloud system.

you are very helpful @Tom W. I'll check with the surveyor if they can include a special 'datum' point with known coordinates in each of the point cloud files. Also, I'll report this as a bug to Vectorworks.

Hello @Tom W. , @rDesign and @shorter, I'm facing another problem and need some assistance with it. I've asked my client to divide the point cloud file into six separate files, with each file representing a different floor, ensuring that each file contains fewer than one hundred million points. I've been setting the User Origin to Internal Origin and importing the point cloud with 'Center Import on Internal Origin' enabled. However, I'm now facing misalignment issues with all the floors. When I import all six files separately without setting the User Origin to Internal Origin and import the point cloud with 'Center Import on Internal Origin' enabled, all six floors align properly. However, I'm unable to work on it as it generates vertical lines, as mentioned in the previous thread. Could you please assist me in resolving this issue? Thank you, Rishie

Hey @Tom W. I set the user origin to Internal Origin, and this approach yielded better results. Thank you very much. This approach has been very helpful. However, it's worth noting that the .e57 file contains 361,562,352 (three hundred sixty-one million plus) points, and Vectorworks can only import a maximum of 100,000,000 (one hundred million) points at a time. Consequently, I was only able to import less than one-third of the points. I've requested the scanning company to break the point cloud file into three or more files, with each file containing a maximum of 100,000,000 (one hundred million) points. I believe this would enable me to import them fully into Vectorworks. I just want to check if there is a way to import more than 100,000,000 (one hundred million) points. Thank you very much for your assistance

Hi @shorter The number of points on the source file was 361,562,352. However, when I set the import percentage to 100%, the number of imported points was only 100,000,000. This discrepancy might be causing me to lose information. Could you please assist me in configuring Vectorworks to import all 361,562,352 points? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Hi @Tom W. I've recorded a short video showcasing the model in Vectorworks and CloudCompare. Just to let you know, when I open the model in Autodesk Recap, I can find more useful information. There, I can delve into the model, exploring floor plans and interior elevations with much more detail. Thank you for your assistance. Scan to BIM.mp4

Hello Everyone I’m attempting to import a point cloud file that I received in .ep57 format (around 5.5GB). I know that Vectorworks supports the .e57 file format. However, even when I import the file and set the data import to 100%, I don’t see much useful information in Vectorworks. On the contrary, when I open the same .ep57 file in Cloudcompare or Autodesk Recap, I can access more valuable information about the scanned model. Can anyone assist me with this? Do I need to request the point cloud file in a different format? Please let me know if I’ve to send more information to diagnose. Best Regards, Rishienathan R J

Hello everyone, I'm using VW 2024, and when I set the 'grey level for greyed layer and classes' to either 1% or 100%, I don't see any changes. Regardless of what I set, the exported PDF reflects the same in the viewports/sheet layers. Is this a bug, or am I missing something here? I have attached two PDFs—one with the grey level set to 1% and the other with the grey level set to 100%. Thanks, Rishie20240131 Schaffer 1%.pdf20240131 Schaffer 100%.pdf

is there any better way to create symbols within which text would remain upright when the symbol is rotated? I checked the above messages but could not find a solution
