  1. Because of a seperate issue with VW24, I am having to revet to using VW23 for a project. I had already created some content in the 24 version of the file which I want to cut and paste back into the 23 version. However, text when transferred rather than appearing as one block, each letter is a seperate text item, with there also being a seperate rectangle for the block outline. Please address this bug asap
  2. Can I change the style, size and fonts of text in the menus and palettes in vw 24. Text has shrunk and lost boldness making it much harder to read/see. Have you been taking lessons from graphic design companies putting cooking instructions on food packaging perhaps, and assuming everyone is young with 20/20 vision...
  3. I have one sheet, in a file with multiple sheets, which, no matter how many times I update the 4 section viewports, the red/white highlight box remains around the viewport (although the 'update' tab in the OIP does not stay red... Also, the viewports don't seem to respond to a crop object inserted, the parts of the section view outside of the crop remaining visible (although they do grey when in the 'crop' option on the 'edit viewport' comand (Neither 'Display viewport outside crop' and 'gray Outside crop' are checked....
  4. In the callout preferences I can see how to set the text format for the callout itself, but not how to format the text (and presumably create a style) for the legend when I select the 'place as keynote' option? I can go in the OIP and format the title and body text, but have to do this for every drawing with a legend... TIA
  5. Can we have some figures actually doing a job, even if it's only holding a clipboard but wearing PPE and suitable clothing.. Not all scenes have people in suits, casual or sportswear....
  6. I have a model with some lighting which works fine in the design layer, but when I do a custom renderworks render in a viewport, the lights/lighting are not showing.. I the visualisation/lights palette, the fittings are all switched on in the selected viewport, and all are switched on in the OIP.. Is there something in the Lighting Options/Advanced properties that is overriding what I want to be seen? TIA
  7. Thanks for that Tom.. If I had 2 components to wrap, such as plaster and blockwork, can this be done?
  8. Can the wall projection tool not be set to wrap a component around the projection at the same thickness it is in the wall, rather than filling the full rpjection with the selected element? I want to create the outer leaf of a masonry cavity wall to step out around a column projection whilst maintaining the cavity, see screenshots below... The first is what I can achieve with the tool, the second what I want to create... TIA
  9. A couple of rendering issues... In shaded rendering my model when viewed from a disatnce appears fine and bright, but as I zoom in it gets very dark so you cant see the wall finishes. Also, in the elevation viewport, the texture of the render is invisible and I just see the blockwork texture behind the render in the wall components. Red x is the same wall on all images. All walls are set to render by component Any advice gratefully received
  10. There are lots of options fro fastenings, but I can't find the one as attached... Any pointers?
  11. I'm having trouble getting the wall closures working properly for some reason... It has worked previously on another file so I know theresnothing wrong with the tool, just the way I am setting it up. I enclose screenshots showing the set up dialogue and the opening in the wall which is not reacting.. Any hints to what I'm doing wrong?
  12. I can set class visibilities in viewports and saved views, but unless I am missing something, I can't do the same in sheet layers... Am I missing something or is this normal.. and if so would it be too difficult to remedy this ?
  13. Going to be a very basic one... I have 2 xref'd viewports but whilst I can select them by drawing a marquee around them, I can't snap to them, either to the extents of the viewport or to any objects within... Any ideas what I need to do? TIA
  14. Hi It wasn't zipped so I tried that as well and got the same message...
  15. Obviously a rookie issue here, but for some reason my door insertion points are not appearing at the extents of the object...see attached screenshot. Should I be worried?!!
  16. @Matt Panzer Tried uploading but get 'unknown error' message and upload fails...
  17. @Matt Panzer I've stripped the file down as much as possible but its still 52Mb - is this too large to PM?
  18. I have tried making some of the fills on a data vis less opaque, to save ink as much as anything else, but settings don't appear to be having effect on the viewport... Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? TIA
  19. @Tom W. I have cut and pasted the wall nto a clean file and it appears fine. Adjacent windows do not cause the same issue...If I delete the window the wall draws as normal. The components are highlighted when the wall is selected but a marquee doesn't find any other elements. Moving (0,0) has no effect. I think you're suggestion it is related to the windows is correct. I attach screenshots of wall closure settings which look ok to me... the one thing I have noticed though is that all of the other windows, which appear correctly, have the 'Wall Closure' tab in the OIP of the 'Window in Wall' object greyed, whilst the affected windows can be adjusted...I can't seem to find a setting in the 'window settings' to reset this
  20. @Pat Stanford The wall is a single object so if it was invisible would it not apply to the full wall? I enclose another marked up screenshot which I hope clarifies the anomaly
  21. I have a wall, with render settings set as 'by component', but for sections of the wall the inner leaf and insulation components abruptly stop displaying, whilst the outer leaf and plaster components show as normal. The wrapping around the windows in the relevant lengths of wall are also showing as normal. Screenshots attached. Any ideas what is causing this? TIA
  22. All above my technical ability I'm afraid....
  23. Is this something that can be addressed as an improvement to VW? Seems a fairly basic function of a spreadsheet to me....
  24. I have a door schedule where i want to highlight some cells for attention later.. However the 'Format cells' command seems to add a fill to all of the cells in that column, not just the single cell I want to amend.. Is there a way of doing this, or will I need to export as an Excel file to get this level of control? TIA
