This is what it is. Reposted. No comments. ""Suggestions to vectorworks, translated by Google: Vectorworks is an excellent software, but it lacks the basic features of the industry needs, and I would like to suggest that it is easy to make Vectorworks better and easier to use. General requirements for product development can be communicated. In view of the current status of the existing BIM module, whether the building and interior procedures can be separated through spatial functions, the product planning ideas are as follows（Translated by translation software）: 1. The attributes of the interior decoration wall are automatically set and associated through the space, which is convenient for the original building demolition part or the interior decoration surface layer to be hidden, and the distinction in the procedures is realized. The wall surface layer of the new interior design divides the attributes through space, inherits the attributes of the opening and wall closure of the core layer of the wall, and adds detailed design switches for the space that needs detailed design, retains its ability of personalized design, reduces the inconvenience caused by multiple surface components of different walls, and reduces the meaningless space segmentation of the wall. In this way, the interior and the architectural model can be separated, and the interior part can be designed in a separate reference space according to the need, and its associated architectural attributes are mainly based on the master model, which reduces the resource occupation of the software, improves the operation efficiency, and is also easy to manage in the process. 2. The rules of slabs, beams and columns refer to the setting of the wall, and the building properties are automatically cut forward, and the surface layer of the layered method can be cut or hidden by defining the attribute level. 3. For non-standard modulus textures, it is recommended to add custom proportions and modifications of length and width to achieve matching of texture and modeling proportions. Such as TV screens, screens, etc. Decals can also be independent of virtual objects to achieve some temporary texture functions, which can be referred to the decal function of other software, and the decals follow the object to form a list of resources for easy management and operation.""

Especially a pined palate for the "Background Options."

When users try to test different shaded options now, they must click "View - shaded options." When they click "OK." the menu disappears, and the users can see the result. When they try another mode, they have to redo the clicks again. Having a fixed palate on the screen will make choosing and testing different shaded options more convenient.

Here V go! Beat all the TOY software!

I updated to MacOS 14.4.1 and then lost the main menu of my Vectorworks update 4.1 (Build 750359). This also makes my Vectorworks unusable. My computer is a Mac Book Pro 2019 Intel chip laptop. Anyone has the same issue?

We recommended this webpage. https://archdraftingvectorworks.blogspot.com/2011/12/creating-suspended-ceiling-plan.html But we want a better BIM ceiling grid tool.

I would like a BIM ceiling grid tool. +1

In the AI era, the only things left for architects are ideas approved by the project owner and the responsibility for signing AI-generated products. But what can we do now in this transition period to ensure we still have Vectorworks and our jobs in the more and more intense competition?

Great idea! @Christiaan Can we create something like https://www.blueprints-ai.com/ to "translate" blueprints to 3d models and vice-versa?

In the Chinese version, by default, the popup tips' Chinese characters have a 90-degree angled direction, which is very difficult for Chinese users to read (compared with the "right" direction of the characters below). How can the users change the font to a "stand-up" direction?

Thank you, Tom W.

Hi, our customer found that the hardscape he drew did not show correctly. After studying the case, we found the solution demonstrated in the screenshot. Why does the hardscape tool act like this? Is this a purposely setting? Besides, when the hardscape is clipped into sections, it seems hollow inside. Why is that?

Thanks @rDesign. Is there any way to quickly set all the shortcut keys instead of editing them individually?

A recent cloud-based https://www.snaptrude.com/ announced their shortcut keys are set exactly like Sketchup. That is truly a muscle memory for most users who switch from Sketchup to BIM software. Is it possible to set Vectorworks shortcut keys the same way?
