I believe the problem is how your geometry is defined. If you remove the radial flares where your driveway presumably meets a street or adjust the arc to be tangent, the shape drapes correctly. Perhaps this is why you are having problems. I have found that VWX and most software has difficulty resolving self intersecting geometry and complex curves if there is even the smallest of faults in how they are laid out.

@Samera Khalaf do you work at this firm?

I wish we would get definitive advice or explanations from the developer as to why we observe these phenomena. That, and a clearly defined workflow for site development would help so many users as we are constantly seeing people run into the same problems. Too far from the origin, what are all these origins and how do they relate to Revit, how do you georeference correctly? I hear this frequently when working with other LAs and all over the forum over the years. I guess it's good for the training side of the business, it certainly keeps me busy on the consulting side. Still, there are more important things I would rather be doing with my clients than holding their hands through convoluted and undocumented geographic/survey processes.

Nothing wrong with exploring workflows as you learn the software. I suggest you post in the Workflow forum instead of Feature Request....you will get better advice rather than us telling you how wrong you are 🙂 I recommend starting with a specific description of what you are trying to accomplish and why. Then mention how you do that in your other software. Pick Lines in Revit isn't really that sophisticated of a tool and pretty much every software has an equivalent, depending on your desired end result. This should be evident by the all the options shared here in this thread. Anyhow, architecture and landscape architecture are fairly basic when it comes to drawing and model making compared to say injection mold making for manufacturing. I doubt there are any typical tasks you are facing that folks here haven't found a solution for, hence then Workflows recommendation. https://forum.vectorworks.net/index.php?/forum/41-workflows/

mostly true, but there are exceptions 🙂

Check your attributes panel and make sure your site model fill is set to solid. Post the file and you’ll get better advice.

Alternatively, If the stakes you want to update all had a similar characteristic, like the same elevation, you could use the Custom Modification tool to select them all at the same time and then modify them all in one data entry in the OIP.

If you are talking about actual VWX Stake Objects, most people and engineering softwares maintain a points file for managing stake/point data and do the value edits in a spreadsheet. You can recreate all of your stakes at once from that file. If you’re talking about a different object type, you’ll have to be more specific.

I like how the table placeholder in Vectorworks looks like an anonymous white block in 3D, I wonder what it looks like in plan view. Such high level integration….

I have to disagree with you there. This method is the one that seems to make the most sense for the most people, even single family residential. Keep the site at real world elevation, put the building in a separate file at z=0, and reference the two together at whatever elevation you want. This is also a key workflow for getting things imported into Twinmotion without having your site or building floating in space. It would be nice if there was a simple, unified workflow between all of the different programs though. If that were the case, I'm sure we would all be advocating for that approach. It's funny how only architects want the world to conform to their FF=0'0" 🙂 All the site related disciplines work in real world elevation for everything, including the building.

That's a great piece of obscure tech advice! Out of curiosity I googled the chip and it looks like it has AVX2. I think the OP needs to run a benchmark on each machine to figure really figure it out. @nzben If this is for business and ROI is of concern, just buy the latest Mac with the most memory you can afford and be done with it. You can lose a lot of billable hours running old tech, especially when the next version of VWX or an OS comes out.

He needs to use proper VWX techniques then 🙂

I would guess the old HP is going to be faster even if you don't boost the PC's RAM. The problem will be what OS are your running on it? Vectorworks 2025 is said to work on Windows 10 & 11. If you do a bit of reading on the forum, you will find the general advice is to buy the fastest single core processor and most RAM you can afford. In windows, having more cores over 10 doesn't seem to do much because the clock speed goes down as the core count increases. Vectorworks likes fast processors. Of course the Mac is a different beast when you are on M architecture. In the Mac's case, the recommendation is to maximize unified memory for any given chipset. You can always render to the cloud if your computer is fine for modeling and 2D, but can't handler big renders. The best way to answer your question is to install VWX on both machines are run a benchmark like:

No. Yes, most likely. Go into your VWX Preferences and if it looks like the highlighted attribute below, this is your problem. It needs to be turned on.

You failed to answer my question, what are you using to tag your plants? It’s hard to help you when you don’t describe the issue adequately. If it’s the built in plant object tags, you could never have them in the annotation space of a viewport as they are part of the plant object. Accordingly, adjusting position would take place on the design layer where the plants exist. Data tags, keynotes, or simple leaders can be placed on the annotation space of a viewport or the design layer, you have full control over them because they are independent objects.
