Mitchell (the other one)

I have an office dimension standard setup with dual dimensions, primary is feet and inches, secondary is inches only. I don't often use angular dimension but needed it today and the displayed angle is showing both a primary and secondary angle. The object info palette doesn't have the field to switch to primary only. Interestingly when I select all dimensions including the angle dimension the object info doesn't have the primary / secondary view field. Deselect the angle dimension only and the primary / secondary view field is now available. I've switched the angled dimension to Arch standard to resolve the issue but is there anyway to correct this within my office dimension standard?

To see if someone can help Lowe42, there is an issue with exporting this image. The texture on the two buildings is supposed to be the same but is not showing up that way. The second image shows the result when the texture from the first image is applied to the rear building - still not a match. Lowe42, Koennen Sie uns sagen welche Version Sie bearbeiten und wie Sie exportieren? Entschuldige das schlechte Deutsch.

Not a direct answer to your question but to offer what might be the way the facility handles the issue, what about 3 tables with 10 chairs each?

In VW 2020 go to Help > Install Partner Products > Windoor. Once installed, check either the VW University or Youtube for some learning and see if that improves your window experience. (I'm assuming Windoor is available in all countries)

Not sure what I am missing today, could just be a Monday but I can't get the door and trims to render as solids. A nudge, hint, out right point in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks

If 3,561 miles is considered "far off" that is the problem. Copied the layer into a new file and it rendered as expected. Thanks. Now to fix my template file so this doesn't happen again.

I'm sure the answer will be one of those obvious face palm moments . . . . but what the heck am I doing wrong here. Open GL rendering, same settings as another file with no issues yet somehow I have ended up with a rather unusual wall finish.

That third image pretty much nails what I like to take to client meetings. Thank you, I will explore those.

I have been seeing this as well during the past week.

I do this as well. I have a master file with all of my details. As details change / evolve, I duplicate the original to leave it unchanged, then revise the duplicate. Then a note or two off to the side to myself on why the detail changed. Early meetings with structural on a new project, I print copies of the details I think are needed and bring them to a review meeting for discussion and mark up. Midway on a project, both structural and I are fairly clear on the project detailing. And then of course the client or contractor changes something fundamental. (smile)

Your first screen shot matches the Classic Vectorworks Colors palette on VW 2021 here.

When you place the first rectangle it remains selected until you performa new action. Could you not just copy, click at centre point for the next rectangle and then paste? And now for my first cup of coffee of the day after which I will probably realize my suggestion did not address your issue. If so, my apologies.

I always wonder why this works . . . usually after it works. It's a computer, it isn't supposed to get confused.

I suspect this may be a legacy item that has been migrated through a few versions but thought I'd ask before I tried trashing it. I get the following message while VW 2022 is starting up.

Thank you - with three installed versions the different icon colours are needed. Perhaps Ferrari Red next year?

The font is Technical. I've used it for ages. I think it might have come with CorelDraw way back when dinosaurs still roamed the earth.

First image is a callout with the leader line centred on the top row of text - sheet is 1/4 scale. Second image is that callout copied, pasted on a 1:100 sheet and the note revised. Now the leader line is at the top of the top row of text. Is there a control I'm missing that allows me to position the leader line . . . other than the Vertical Position, top, centre, bottom, etc.? And I've never managed to delete a leader line from a callout with several leaders, I select delete leader, get the pointing finger over the red X but no matter where I click, the leaders are unchanged.

(face palm sound) Thank you, that worked.

Just updated to SP3.1 (yesterday) and I am now having a problem with my cursor. When I click to select an item, no problem, everything is working as expected. When I click on a blank area of the drawings to draw a marque to select multiple items, my cursor becomes the 2D polygon tool. I can click on another object to 'escape' the tool or click Escape. Thinking this was an issue with the Smart Options Display I turned that off, however the issue persists. Any ideas / solutions? And this issue has quickly taught me how much I use a marque to select several items at the same time.

Thank you - green it is, green it will be.

In my resource libraries, all of the item names below the thumbnails are black in colour . . . . except for Line Types which are green. An unattractive green. And a green which I find hard to read. Is there a way I can switch the colour of the Line Type names to black as well? (I'm hoping this is easy but not so easy that I feel dumb for missing it)

Sure make me want to go to my desk to see this . . . . . . . .

Just tested Tools > Options > Edit Marker List and it works for me. Rather than add yet another marker to the list of 15, I edited one that I have never used, No. 15, what is that marker? After editing, the outline shown under type seems to be based on the marker root type you started from, the width, angle and thickness are the new defaults you entered. After closing and re-opening VW, the changes have been saved and I can apply them within the document. They can now be set as defaults.

Go to the Vectorworks Libraries in the Resource Browser > Object Styles > Drawing Label and open that file. In the Resource Browser select either All Resources or Symbols / Plug In Objects and you should have at least 12 drawing label styles to choose from.

We have similar configurations and I have not had 2021 crash on me yet. (now I'm sure I have cursed it) Have you done the usual step of running VW alone without anything else open in the background? Have you contacted VW tech support?
