  1. Hi,

     

    When I was relaying the floor plan I removed a few internal walls that were connected with the external wall's core components. I can find a glitch in the external walls where the internal cladding does not connect again while removing the internal wall.

     

    I tried to replace the external wall style with the same style to check if this refreshes the wall again but with no luck.

     

    Can anyone here help me to connect the internal wall cladding?

     

    FYI, I also tried with the component joint again with no luck.

     

    Thank you,

    Rishie 🙂

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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?

  5. Is the issue still the same?

  6. 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?

     

  7. 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?

  8. 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.

  9. 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?

  10. 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!

  11. I'm finding difficult to create a similar window style in Vectorworks 2021. I'm going for a symbol (with 2D/3D attributes) and insert in wall to achieve it?

     

    Is there a better way to create the similar style of window in the native window plugin tool? If yes can you help me with it?

     

    Attached the 2D and 3D style below. Thank you very much in advance!
