  1. For what its worth, same issue as others; materials reset in TW on datasmith update. Not in love with Keep Hiearchy either. Makes a list of objects 4 miles long. By material so far seems easier to deal with, but then again, am a neophyte with TW.
  2. Beat you. Found 3,644 files repaired. now to see if it makes any difference whatsoever in the graphics sluggishness, instability, etc.

    2022 Stability

    I could say welcome to the party. Same thing happening on Big Sur. Vectorworks 2022 locks up the OS on a pan. have to restart. no crash report either. I've dug out and sent numerous logs to NNA however. This never happened with 2021. Wear me out.
  4. W: Goes away when the glazing class is switched to translucent. Weird
  5. Wes: Maybe the same thing? Red squares are probably clerestory windows in a wall 20' beyond, but are appearing as in the cut plane
  6. 2022 sp 2. checkbox for printing at on screen resolution seems to not have any affect on concrete hatch (print or pdf). Attached are two screen shots, first is what I am looking at, second is pdf.
  7. Using 2022 on Big Sur. It freezes on a graphics instruction (like pan), then crashes the entire OS. Its costing me a lot of time but at this juncture have no choice but to forge ahead. 2021 was stable on Big Sur. 2022 is M1 chip ready but appears to have backwards compatibility issues with Big Sur. Word is it runs better on Monterey but that has its own set of issues.

    Vectorworks 2022

    There is something fishy going on with 2022 and the graphics engine. I get whole computer (Mac) lock up and crash panning but have seen this similar phenomena in section and plan viewports. It seems to go away if you update all the viewports on the sheet or close the file and reopen. Smacks of a memory leak but what do I know. NNA says they are having issues with AMD graphics cards but could be others as well.
  9. Try this. In Twinmotion. the direct link starts for a split second, then nothing comes in. As noted, it worked in SP1. Will test other files. thx -J Scarpa VII DD3.vwx
  10. 😧 On an iMac Pro 2017, 11.6.1 . Direct link worked in previous Service pack just fine. It's not exporting any data as far as I can tell. Not twinmotion's fault. If I export as a datasmith file (not linked), all comes in as advertised.
  11. OI palette- texture. "revert to overall" for a side of a wall has gone missing. How does one go about this now? The new texture tool is useless for walls as far as I can tell. Ideas?
  12. Updated to SP2. Appears direct link no longer works. send the file to TM, nothing shows up. Any ideas. Worked in SP1.1 just fine.
  13. Am on an iMac Pro vintage 2017 and seeing the same thing. There's a graphics issue with 2022. Its slower than 2021. Juan also aware that 2022 delays, then locks up the machine and with more use, seeing that its always with a pan.
  14. Happening with any converted 2021 file. Also freezes, crashes then crashes the OS which then restarts on its own. Weird. Not able to get a crash report as far as I can tell.
  15. 2022 designer, SP1. Sur 11.6. Working on converted 2021 files and experiencing random lock ups. freezes the entire OS and have to restart. Cannot find a pattern with executed commands but seems to be graphical ( like say a pan ). Anybody else seeing this?
  16. Dragging this one out again. For small scale residential as well as for design development, Adding hyperlinks to worksheets (where I'm parking specifications) would save a lot of time. Clients want to see product info and embedding links into worksheets would be hugely helpful. Easier to manage than chasing products around say with symbols directly in the plan.
  17. I changed mine too. thanks fabrica! three versions of the software in my dock, can't tell them apart. they used to change the icon from year to year. Suppose wouldn't have to do this if the official software releases were not basically beta versions that are so unstable, you can't just start using them....oops
  18. You can experiment with more compression in the Publish command to see what you get. Acrobat DC on its own is 15 bucks a month and should work across all your devices. I use it on my iPad as well as desktop. In the grand scheme of things, that yeah while I don't like having to drink the kool-aid, I guess you have to ask is if it saves you time and pain, is it worth it. I think you can also buy a non subscription version for $350. I use it all the time so its worth it to me. Its the nickel chasing a dollar thing. All that said the compression algorithms that were added by NNA were supposed to supplant this extra step. Best to play around with it before you decide. Adobe will do a 7 day trial I think.
  19. Dennis: Are you printing to PDF via the Publish command? You should be able to crush a PDF sheet reasonably well. If meant for viewing digitally, you can drop the DPI to 72 (I usually use 100), downsample images above say 300 dpi, and use a high compression. Alternatively, I've gotten in the habit of exporting using a medium compression, then compressing the PDF in acrobat (yeah drinking the adobe kool-aid). Works pretty well. I was able to drop your 20mb file to 1.8MB with Acrobat alone. Yeah its an extra step but acrobat does a better job in my experience. I'm sure there are others PDF options out there that don't require 50 + bucks a month subscription. Hope that helps -J Study A 09-13-2021.pdf
  20. try switching to the custom stair tool buried in the legacy folder in the workspace editor. The stair tool sucks. It lacks flexibility and the interface is stupid. you can't get rid of the two treads beyond the winders with it. just be aware the custom stair can be a little glitchy since the code has not been updated. works most of the time however.
  21. Iskra: Thanks for looking at this. As usual probably operator failure. Choose temp storage and sharable link grays out (but is on) and it works as advertised. if choosing Vectorworks or in my case, dropbox as storage options, sharable link is an active option. choosing local storage, link not an option. Is this how its supposed to work? I initially got some glitchy behavior with the menu as I don't think cloud services fired right away. but then it kicked on and the menu performed as advertised. weird. -J
  22. It used to automatically open a follow up menu giving me options for QR codes, link etc. No longer happens. I was able to go to cloud.vectorworks.net and find the file however the clip cube is fubar and as usual with walk thru walls turned on the view gets stuck in the wall. Why is this thing so fickle?
  23. tried blank file with 4 simple walls. no go. something wrong in my setup I guess.
  24. Anyone else having issues with export to web view ? have a very simple model (updated from an older version), runs thru the export/save location, appears to build the .vgx then nothing. window that normally shows up where you can copy a link for a web view doesn't show up. Tried switching to a non-customized workspace but does help. upgraded to cloud services 9.0 but no go. restarted 2021 sp 3.1 .nada. thoughts?
  25. would be nice if they would mention that... now to dig thru workspace editor...
