If I understand correctly the wish is for 2 parts A) a better system to combine a group of elements together and have that group react to each other if further edits are required. So once you've created the the flat and trimmed it with a baseboard you could combine them to a symbol-like "thing" or a super-group. The Object info would expose some controls from the combined object (like styled objects do) to allow selective changes to the object. ie a Flat with Baseboard could be resized and it would all grow in the way you've told it to grow. B) on the back of new system complex plug-in objects break up in to smaller easy to maintain object, allow 2 complex objects to use the same sub-object so for example a Stair-object and theoretical Balcony-object would both internally use the same balustrade object to the point of exploding either would lead to a group of the sub-objects.

Which is there for when you do Reflected ceiling plans.

If there is something in the works it could be called "Vectorworks - Director" for those who've outgrown their desk bound career as a Designer but don't think going back to paper should be the answer in this day and age.

Add iPadOS benefits over base iOS. I'd be willing to pay for another 1/2 license to use on the iPad for users who need access to some but maybe not the full feature set.

Open Recent Files to be more current after crash
Matt Overton replied to Mat Caird's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Also should report if the Back up file is more recent than than the recent file in the list. -
Did it just become possible to run VW on an iPad Pro??
Matt Overton replied to Kevin McAllister's topic in General Discussion
Well I was kind of hoping if they seriously looked at an iPadPro Version of Vector/Nomad it might get them looking at how bad some of the old interface like OIP is regear it totally and make it better for everyone. -
When working on BIM projects that are multi-storey doing Facade/Elevation treatments I find a lot of time I'm bouncing from a full model, Active only it would be most useful to isolate just the active layers of the current storey of the building.

More Purge control
Matt Overton replied to Tom W.'s question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
I have script somewhere that makes an object in every class with the attributes by class. Make a symbol of that have it in your library and if purge gets to happy you drop the symbol back in and bingo classes all back. Have that symbol on a layer that is other wise empty unlikely to get turned on like a group divider and purge then says there are object in those classes and leaves them out of the purge list. -
Will Viewport styles even make it to VW2024? It hasn't even made it past "Active Research" since the roadmap was first released.

That looks to basically the same Versioning system software engineers use to manage complex projects larger and small. I'm very envious of the those tools and how useful they could be to BIM projects. Would dearly love to see a GIT based IFC federation system that worked with Multiple venders and lots of useful tools. No more file formate worries or dealing with contract boundaries stopping co-ordination. As Blame and CodeOwners could really help streamline a single model being worked on by multiple companies.

make the publish output path unique to each file
Matt Overton replied to grant_PD's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Or even relative to the file. If your standard folder structure allows it these options would avoid the need to think about it. -
'Types' or 'Saved Views' For Viewports
Matt Overton replied to Tom Klaber's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
It’s in the roadmap under viewport styles. When that arrives I have no idea. since this was posted we now have storeys and story layers have a type as well strikes me a viewport style could have a target story as well and visibility of layers could be automatically set by that. -
Door Handing
Matt Overton replied to digitalcarbon's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
If this happens what would be the effect of the flip button? -
With many still working both in office and home or other remote locations. (some because they discovered how good it is others for many other reasons) It would be good to have a recent files list that covered files we opened in either location. Sure files would need to be accessible both locations like Vectorworks Cloud, dropbox, et al and office server but would be great if it was synced. Even maybe have a team options to share my recent list with co-workers.

Scheduling stuff by association to a space?
Matt Overton replied to Matt Overton's topic in Architecture
Do you have another larger spaces called 1? I've found the function returns an array of spaces in that location anywhere vertically in the file. -
Have more than one Units type in a drawing
Matt Overton replied to MHBrown's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Until you hit a tool that Is hardcoded to only use the primary units of the file and can't switch to dual. -
Have more than one Units type in a drawing
Matt Overton replied to MHBrown's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Also, and it depends on usefulness to you, A reference of the original file can have different units. So our working files remain millimetres we often reference presentations files set to metres so Space objects work well. -
Unsure why this setting is still marked slow. Is it really slow? you can set so the snap loupe zoom is independent. I have line thickness on in main view but off in the snap loupe to make the line ends clear.

Agree fully anyone using Project sharing probably worked or still works with Workgroup referencing. We are very much geared to dividing layer (which are free after all) to allow more people to work in files without tripping over each other. Checking out a full layer is faster. as you only need to do it once per layer. Not sure I've seen any advantage all all to per object check outs.

Thanks This is looking very promising indeed.
