This works as per the original request in v2024 (maybe earlier?). Can someone mark this as resolved?
-
@Christiaan were any items implemented with v2024?

Has this wish been resolved with the release of 2024?

I agree this is quite annoying, I gave up on trying to find a solution.
I can see from Kevin's image that you could match the Jamb's lineweight to the wall, but this would effect the entire jamb rather than just the junction between the jamb and the wall which I imagine is what Tatiana is trying to show.

his software has become an integral part of our workflow. I gave up on trying to get VW to produce small PDFs.
Same here!
I know there are so many options and granularity with VW's exports but 95% of people don't care. I just want to attach it to an email and not make the client wait 2 minutes for it to download.

Years ago, we proposed the tool to the other distributors worldwide. The answer was that Vectorworks users (architects) never make these drawings. So they were not interested.
Wow. Architects in the UK make these drawings on most, if not all, projects. It would be good for VW to review this.

This has happened to colleagues in my office. A restart seemed to sort it out but I will ask them if it has come back.

Is there a goto workflow in Vectorworks (using cable tools, or electrical tools) to represent simple wiring on lights for circuiting?
There doesn't appear to be but I really wish there was. Doing electrical plans is probably one of the biggest time commitments on a set of construction drawings now because it is all done manually.

Ok, thanks Justin.
To be honest I'll probably just leave it it ignore it each time although it's a bit annoying.

Opening VW 2024 again this morning I get the same popup again after updating yesterday.
-
Thanks Justin but I don't think that's it. I'm up to date and have been running Update 2.1 since it came out and I still get the error every time I open 2024. I have just opened it again this morning and it pops up, despite me updating it on Tuesday when I started this thread.

It's a survey. Not designed by us. It is what it is!
I know but sometimes you wonder what was going through people's minds when they do things like this!

Yeah I don't understand that garage roof! Surely more effort to build it that way rather than just complete the pitched roof.
-
I'd just like to reiterate my wish for something like this or incorporating the Benelux region's tool into VW.

I use a 2021 M1 Pro Macbook with 16GB memory, file sizes never more than 500MB - I don't have obvious issues with slow files, perhaps only with files with 100+ sheets.
@Flair-Studio - I share your rendering pain! I think for serious rendering (spending 1 day+ per week on rendering) a separate PC is the way to go. I did buy one but really don't enjoy working on a PC. It's collecting dust now and I just don't do much rendering. Who knows what the future holds now that the M3 has hardware accelerated ray tracing which was the limitation that stopped Twinmotion's Path Tracer being available on Mac. The only thing that's guaranteed is that it's going to be expensive!

Worksheet "pagination" is on the roadmap under "Active Research". Although it's been on there since at least April 2019 when I referred to it here.
I really hope this gets some more attention soon because the current worksheets are incredibly difficult to work with due to this and a few other simple things such as how difficult they are to format.

I'm using 2024 on Mac, no issues - it's working fine.

I would have thought that filters were a feature added to try to tackle this request in a different way as it was likely too time intensive/would have unintended consequences if done in ways that have been suggested here.
I would also like to see this functionality added. Particularly at an early stage we create lots of design layers with different options and end up making blank layers with titles like '- - - - - - - Option 1 - - - - - -' to help make the navigation palette more legible. Surely this workflow can be improved upon!
In the image below all of the layers could be made into 6 groups.

You know in the German VW they have a command that converts 2D geometry into a hatch automatically? I'd love to know how they came to have it + why no one has thought to offer it to everyone else.
Crazy! This would be great to have. Nothing makes me feel more dumb than trying to make a hatch in VW.

@Christiaan, no - only "Share". Feel free to edit it for me if you can do that with your moderator powers.

Neatest way of doing electrical layouts - symbolic and literal representation of fixtures.

I've had similar thoughts to the original questions which is why I requested the following in 2019 (yikes!)
Things like when a light switch and socket clash in plan, where the workaround is to create a unique symbol (a good solution considering the constraints of the software), could be incorporated into a simple tool like this.
