Parking Spaces Hybrid 3D
Matt Overton replied to Laura Stone's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Also 3D clearances for parking structures -
AI command interface for Vectorworks
Matt Overton replied to Christiaan's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
In theory, the AI could already author a vectorscript description of the Wall type you'd like to replace the wall type you had if there was enough of the function exposed in the VS documentation. -
AI command interface for Vectorworks
Matt Overton replied to Christiaan's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
My first lecture in my first year of architecture started with that very line. 30 years later it is only marginally more true today than then and fails to understand how much further it has to. So sure maybe in my lifetime I might read about it happening while in the nursing home. -
AI command interface for Vectorworks
Matt Overton replied to Christiaan's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Or the Program ship from your local distributor with most of the common ones in your market. Then you'd only need to make a small handful of uncommon ones each year. -

Add the potential VisionPro is showing and you have the specs sheet for the last CAD program I'll invest in, in my life time. -

That shouldn't need AI just features like Materials to do the job they are said to do. 😉 Save the AI for Fun things. -
Default Storey Levels
Matt Overton replied to shorter's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Storey Styles, LOL I sort of Kid, but it does seem like the way they do things like this these days. Still, a Storey Style might not be a bad single place to update in the project. We could have multiple in the same file, and we could transfer them from project to project or have a library of common project/construction types. That said, I will always upvote better Storey/Layers/Levels to better represent common building practice. -
Import PDF pages more sensibly

With an option for stacking them all on top of each other but creating a layer for each- 1 reply

Event Production/Festival Design Wishlist
Matt Overton replied to AndrewYVR's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
If you have a symbol, you want to lay out a regular spacing along a line, why not use the repetitive unit tool? -
Layer Grouping
Matt Overton replied to Neves+Creative Inc.'s question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Yes, it would be nice. -
It would be great if we had a hot project list that looked to see what folders the recent files were in, then kept the most recent folders and even allowed us to pin folders. Although it might need to look up the chain a level or 2 to get meaningful names; otherwise, in our case, it would just hot list 10 folders named "CAD".

We've hit an issue with files converted from VW2022. The 2 attached images show an example of the problem. The source file has everything as it should be, but when referenced, lots of Planar Geometry jumps around from where it should be as per the second image. It should not be that the geometry in question is within groups and a mix of simple lines or rectangles. But digging in deeper it seems like the groups are offsetting. It seems to not be a problem for files created from scratch in VW2024, but we do have a few longer-running projects we'd like to bring over, as well as long-term clients we do ongoing work for. Has anyone seen this and know of any tricks to resolve it?

Give us a curved leaders option with callouts.
Matt Overton replied to Bruce Kieffer's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
It took me a minute to find this interface, and I'm still unsure why it sits where it does. -
Hopefully, these quirks (I'm being generous) will be addressed as part of Roof/Slab Modernisation that is in development on the roadmap. This may or may not be a direct link to the item... https://www.vectorworks.net/en-AU/public-roadmap?url=roofslab-modernization

Attributes By Class Keyboard Shortcut
Matt Overton replied to Andy Broomell's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
The script above can be added as a menu command and will reset the basic drawing environment to draw all by class but oddly doesn't trigger the interface to update to reflect the changes it makes. until you click back on the drawing area. -
Request: Option in the OIP to "Replace" a worksheet.
Matt Overton replied to yasin2ray's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
For instance, I have a complex worksheet that sits as a summary of the project on the cover sheet. I duplicate the coversheet and want to switch out the worksheet for one with slightly altered information I can put in from another project. Area schedules, compliance, drawing lists and the like. -
We have 3 computers all fairly similar in age and specs. 2024 runs very well, stable, with no obvious new slowdowns on 2 of them and almost unusable on the third. Although did improve on SP2 but still not enough we transitioned all projects. Still, good that VW lets you keep 2 different versions open at the same time on the same machine. (I assume both need to be "same" serial number for each version)

AI integrated Rendering
Matt Overton replied to twk's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
To me, the interesting bit kicks in when you can overlay your style in the generated output of the model. https://blog.metaphysic.ai/custom-styles-in-stable-diffusion-without-retraining-or-high-computing-resources/ I could see us creating many styles in the years to come as this sort of function becomes more mainstream. A suburb style that would push the context of the image to be similar to the site surroundings. Company presentation styles are based on the hand-drawn work of people in the company. Interiors based on photos of our own work. -
I would have thought the consequences were already ready there and needed to be dealt with due to IFC mapping. There is currently no simple way as part of our core workflow to allow us to annotate how we want them dealt with. The new model of how things should relate is defined. How we make it useful is up to us if we have an interface that makes that information available in a generally useful way. This model would seem to translate to a lot of things, not just Architecture. https://ifc43-docs.standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4x3/HTML/lexical/IfcBuildingStorey.htm If Filters were meant to be the answer, then firstly, that should have been said so it could be tested to see if it meets the brief. Secondly, they should have been upgraded to allow summaries that group the items in the interface by the same types as filters act on. allowing filters to be a more fluid interface by folding in groups in the summary that don't meet the filter requirements at the time. Edit to add: A nice visual interface could make assignments far easier and more direct as well. We could drag a layer from one summary group to another, the system would then apply the right data to the object to make that true.
