How and why do people use 3ds files in Vectorworks?

Hi All, I have attached a screenshot of me trying to move a floor plan. I have unlocked it and grouped/ungrouped but will not move all elements. It only moved part of plan and I don't know why? Any suggestions please?

Hans when you modify dos you import an image into the Renderworks style?

OK can anyone tell me how I set a background in VW. Do I do it in Design Layer or in Viewport and how does it work. Do I import into extruded rectangle? Thanks, Ashling

Hi everyone, just wondering am I correct in thinking, when using Helicon Light, that you create new viewport and make changes there as opposed to the Design Layer? Can anyone help me on this please? Thanks, Ashling

I was just wondering how people title their drawings and updated drawings for reference? DO you call them 1, 2, 3 and date them or is there some VW Layout I am not familiar with? I guess similar to architects? Thanks, Ashling

Can anyone give tips on best use of Renderworks Camera to get nice angles and shots?

Kevin, apologies for double posting, I could not delete one of them. Also thank you for example file, can you reserve to 2014 version as thats the one I'm working off. Thanks again for all the help.

Tips please on calculating Circle Radius and Arc Length with dimensions. See file attached this is what I calculated but very unsure and need to be accurate as its a stage we are building with Baluster glass panels to stop from falling. ??

See attached flyover tools does not work fantastic with this model.

Kevin so from an advanced VW'er can you tell me the best process please. Just need direction.

Wow that is good work. I am very far from that standard right now but hoping to get there.

Kevin my aim is to give exact dimensions to build. Also to indicate how it should look when complete.
