It seems this Issue is solved with the latest VW 2024 Update 3

@Matt Panzer I am experiencing the same issue, see attached video and file: if I am not mistaken I had a similar issue in the same file with a different configuration - can't remember if with doors or windows in VW2024 - but I am not able to reproduce it any more (might be after the latest software updates?).

A package command, similar to the Adobe Indesign one, to group master files and external references into a specific folder for exporting and/or archiving without loosing links paths.

we are having a similar experience with macOS Sonoma
-
With VW24 Update 1 and 1.1 on macOS Sonoma (latest) we’re experiencing incremental crashes not related to specific commands till it becomes very unstable (>2 crashes per hour).
Running “Repair” from the installer does not seem to solve the issue. Clean reinstall does solve it, at least for a while. This was a recurrent behavior on 2 different users/devices (MacBookPro Intel and MacMini M2), starting from a few crashes and quickly in a few days becoming very unstable.
We have already shared this issue with our local distributor, and we got answered Sonoma is not officially supported yet, but we still believe - as VW addicted 😉 - it is worthy to share here.

When working on more than one file, it happens to us that navigation palette contents (e.g. layers, classes etc) fails to update/change when switching from one file to another. Let’s say we are working on file “A”: after switching to file “B”, leaving “A” open, navigation palette keeps showing “file A” content while “file B” is active.
This seems recurrent in VW2024 (macOS Sonoma), more than it was before.Anyone else experiencing this?

Hello,
Just wondering how to change hinge side (and/or main and 2nd leaf) on a swing bi-part door with non symmetrical configuration in VW2024.
Looks like hinge side always stays right (see the video below, VW localised Italian), and it is not possibile to set a door with main leaf with left hinge.
@Pier Luigi @Matt Panzer thanks in advance for any help/tip.
PS: minor issue with doors and windows UI/UX. On smaller screens (e.g. MacBook Pro 14inches) the tool "UI/UX window" struggle to fit in the screen height, while door configurations names are barely understandable being the text "cropped" and the window not scalable

Thank you @Peter Neufeld., I’ve submitted it via @Pier Luigi

Hello everyone,
At the office we've been and we are - both VW2023 and VW2024 - experiencing on several files an unexpected behaviour from VW. Apparently, performing certain operations on "heavy" files (from our experience mainly with 3d geometry) triggers the "Turn off unified views" preference in the backgrpund (under "document preferences - Legacy 2d features"), but leaving the "Enable legacy 2d feature" unflagged.
As a result, a document preference is changed by the software (not by the user), activating legacy features in the background, and has to be manually changed every time by users (again and again...).
This also seems related to one more unexpected behaviour: after deleting a design layer, a random sheet layer is activated (see attached video).
Is there anyone else experiencing the same issue, which seems to be a bug?
We've been able to reproduce this both in VW2023 and VW2024.-

Unfortunately, I just heard back from our engineers that this won't be a quick bug fix. I am sorry. We would have to find a way to allow Nomad to open 3D models attached to presentations, or whole presentations in general.
@inikolova thank you for the prompt feedback, hopefully future VCS and/or Nomad major releases could solve this. Unity engine + Nomad handle models much better than before, and using them together with VCS presentations would be a pro.-

I've been always keen on VCS cloud presentations, quite a powerful tool for VR and immersive panoramas.
Nevertheless since the Unity engine was introduced, some workflows seem to be broken:
- Pinning vgx models in presentation only works while browsing from desktop devices. From mobile (both Chrome and Safari) a message is displayed (something like "due to technical reasons model can be only seen via Nomad app") but than the "Nomad" button fails to trigger the Nomad app to open (and so the related model). Is that correct?
- It seems there is no way to insert any kind of direct link from cloud presentation to a cloud stored vgx model, triggering nomad to open the model. Not sure if I am missing something there.
- Sample presentation still uses the old graphic engine (pre-Unity): it would be helpful to see an updated workflow there.
Last but not least - this has maybe more to do with the wishlist forum - it would be very helpful to have some graphic control to better position the pins: either with x,y,z position inputs or providing smart guides, adding the capability to easily align pin items in different boards

Hello everyone, for us this was a couple of years ago and it has now a physical twin. The critical part of it was the roof face tool UI/UX, where generating a roof face with a slope not perpendicular to any of the facades required drawing quite some construction lines to deduct all the geometrical data/parameters that had to be provided as inputs in the roof face UI. An enhancement would be the possibility to define a roof face selecting 3 different points or 3d loci, not by parameters but via direct modeling.
If I remember correctly, two more critical things - at the time we submitted them both via local distributor and VW US as bug - were 1) geometrical constrains of wall/roof components joins 2) roof face texture that could not be rotated.
Here goes the built project, a good one for the #madewithvectorworks hashtag 🙂 https://www.b22.it/en/projects/son-center-cascina-san-carlo/

Thank you @Matt Panzerfor you kind reply: I thought this was how it used to be and I have the feeling I did it in the past, but now clicking on the perpendicular stem gives some unexpected output (screencast attached)
-
Not sure if this should be considered either a bug or an enhancement request, but since it looks like we share the same pain I thought it was worthy to submit a link to this post via Roadmap https://www.vectorworks.net/en-US/public-roadmap?url=wall-modernization (hopefully in@Matt Panzer radar 😉)!

Hello everyone,
We're struggling joining walls in the conditions shown in the attached image, where an interior wall joins - with a T join - an exterior wall made out of 2 segments joined with an L join.
When applying the T join VW creates the join following a "ghost" projection/angle of one of the 2 exterior walls. We're tried all the possibile conditions/joins but we no success.
Looks like leaving the wall unjoined is the only way to deal with it. Adding components to the walls makes no difference, and this seems related to the whole wall envelope/geometry.
Any help/suggestion appreciated!

yes, we do randomly experience the same on macos (and custom workspace via shared folder on server, but this should be a user local preference not related to workspaces)

Thanks, and damn localised/translated versions 🙂 (I was searching for "count" as I've been doing till now... but since VW2023 it seems "count" is translated in my localised version)

Hi everyone,
I am using the new graphic legend tool for a booklet representing prefab facade elements of a building.
Any prefab element is a symbol (hybrid 3d/2d) with an attached record.
Within the graphic legend cell, I would like to insert a text (dynamic text of a graphic legend field) showing the overall amount (=count function) of each prefab element (=symbols).
It seems to me it is not possible to call the "count" function via dynamic text definition.
Any idea/suggestion on how to do that? (e.g. showing how many times the item shown in a graphic legend cell - in window reports / wall type reports / symbol reports / etc.- is used in the drawing/file and/or within the selected criteria).

Not sure if it is the same issue, but we experienced unresponsive menus with previous VW and Os versions on Macbook Pro and this how we solved it:

Thanks, this was helpful, I had the same issue!

Adding 2 more to@Juliensvzip, from the Architect-BIM workspace.
Some localised VW version are distributed with customised ToolSet icons (rather ugly in my opinion, @zeno do you know why?!), something that should be really deprecated by Vectorworks Inc. since it just adds visual clutter and inconsistency between software and help/tutorials/etc and between international and local versions.

Is the Wall Join tool also somehow improved? It seems to me that in VW2023 - in any view other than top/plan - walls are selected/highlighted while the cursor/pointer is on top of any of their geometry, while in VW2022 and before it only worked on their footprint. It might be a minor change - I don't see this feature listed, therefore I might be mistaken - but together with the Wall edit tool it improves a lot the overall usability of the Wall tool.
Congrats to the whole VW team for this release, with many promising features. I do really appreciate the development path followed in recent years and the clarity of sharing the future roadmap!

wish - clip tool on slab-objects should also be able to modify the boundary
in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Posted · Edited by StefanoT
even more: improve slab and space tool consistency, where the space tool (and/or viewports) is how it should be in terms of modifiers (clip tool and boundaries)
