I tried to reply array and very soon this operation generate a crash on 2026 upd2

Good morning @Hippocode I installed vectormep and I intend to study it as soon as possible. Where can we study the instruments from? Is there a user manual? I am interested in IFC export and BIM interchange. Can we focus on the MEP project entirely done in vectorworks? Thanks

I think could be helpful if you share the organization dialog in design layer and stories screens..

Whatever is inside a symbol loses reference with the stories. If the walls have lost the reference, I would say that that reference is no longer there or has been modified. I suggest you reset the style of the walls and then reset the height of the walls after checking the correct heights of the constraints

Thank you for the answers but: 1- @Katarina Ollikainen yes, what I meant was that I know I can do it with the plant tool and I understand that using the landscape area tool I could define the writing without converting it into a plan 2- @bcd using DAP is not the solution, becauseI can use only one plant (please don't tell me to create more DAPs and overlap them). However, I didn't know the tool for the report, thank you. I know that there are warkarounds for what is required, in fact it is a request for implementation and not a request for "how to achieve this result at all costs". My intention was just to inform you that these enhancements added to the landscape area could be useful to many designers. You will be the one to think about whether to implement them or not in the next releases Thank you

Good morning @Katarina Ollikainen and sorry for the delay in my answer. You have identified a fundamental point. To be able to manage individual plants within a vegetation area according to a controllable matrix. But not just a matrix, it would be necessary to be able to organize the surface array technology to be able to manage the duplication of plants even according to paths (even a nurbs curve) within the vegetation area. In this way, if the user wishes to define a quinconce arrangement, he can do so regularly (it is a very common arrangement for the design of vegetation areas) or possibly use a duplication path on which to place the plants. The user should manage the offset of the path and the distance of the plants (and the area off course). Or in the case of the quinconce be able to individually manage the direction x and the direction y of the positioning of the 5 plants on the vertices of the square and the one in the center of the square. The square could obviously widen and stretch becoming a rectangle. For the issue of the text on plants, another important argument often recalled in design practices is to be able to put a text of the essence above the 2D symbol of the plant, and it should be a function that can also be visible in the vegetation area. I'm not sure but I think I've already tried to insert a 2D text in the geometry of the plant and recall it in the vegetation area, without the result. I recently saw a video on your YT channel where you can clearly see this technique, even if they talked about another topic. I'm attaching a screenshot. If possible, I ask you for other updates on the subject. Thank you and good work

Good morning @Katarina Ollikainen and thank you for the answer It could be a way that at least partially solves the problem. Could you please share the file above with me so I can see the exact settings you used for the triangular array? Adding the row spacing for 2026 is great news. The fact that you can use a controlled plant mix is another aspect that could be treated individually or in connection with the quinconce. The control should take place by deciding the distance x and y between plant and plant, both for the rows and for the columns. Another aspect that some customers pointed out to me is the possibility of seeing a text acronym on each plan also in the landscape area tool. Thank you

On landmark planning users need to create a _quinconce_ plants distribution. Users shall be able to manage x and y distance between plants. Quinconce is the set of five objects of which four are arranged on the vertices of an imaginary square and the fifth is located at the center of this. The analogous figure built over a rectangle instead of a square can also be defined as a quinconce.

More and more people are using the BIM methodology that is becoming mandatory for construction processes. The integrated use of bSDD in Authoring software can be an extra gear. Although you can download the XML file of each classification, a direct link or a integrated UI could also be useful to distinguish yourself from other BIM software. see also https://technical.buildingsmart.org/bsdd-software-implementations/?pagenum=1&sort[3]=asc Thanks

Hello there is some update on this direction? Thanks

Good morning A long time ago I was passionate about video games. A long time ago. I stopped playing with the PS1 YouTube, however, offers the possibility to easily see how the updates are progressing. But this is very interesting You should be able to see it by the title "architect life" and I actually admit that having a fotware based on this experience would be nothing short of extraordinary. What do you think? Z

I have no problem with m2max. But no hdmi used and 3 monitors connected.. If you want I can try with your file if you share it with me and I'll tell you how it goes
