Hi Hans Olav, thanks for the reply. So it's not possible to put the two different view options in a symbol? Because the build plans are also in 3D (top just 2D topview). I've attached a piece of truss in the colour I want it. So with data visibilities you could change how it looks in a viewport, that might be an option then. Is that new for 2020, or is it also possible in 2019? test truss.vwx

Hi everyone, I'm struggling to do something that I'm not sure is possible. I'm assigning a colour in the attributes of a symbol to help identify it's type for building drawing purpose. But I would also like to use those symbols in a presentation with, let's say, an aluminium texture, not showing the colour peviously selected. Is it possible to have this in the symbol's values, so I can have it look different in for instance openGL en final quality renderworks?? thanks for any help, Peter

works like a charm, thank you very much!

Hi Tamsin, just as an update, just as sudden as it started occuring, it stopped. Hasn't happened anymore since April. And managed to update to SP3 in the meantime. thanks for the help.

Hi all, I've made a solid in a straight line (just because it was easier to get the bolts and such in), and now I wouls like to bend it along a circle (or arc, doesn't matter). Is there a way to do this?? thanks a million. bending attempt.vwx

not ONE specific file unfortunately

running the repairs now, the updater says I'm up to date with SP2

I'll do that, thanks for the reply 🙂

Hi, I use an Imac running OS 10.13.6, running vectorworks 2019 SP2. I've been using this version on this computer without any problems until today. And I've noticed it doesn't always do it (which drives me more insane :-).

Hi everyone, very recently (today) it started happening that when I press okay after changing sheet data, Vectorworks just shuts down. Anyone else had this happening? And is a fix available, it's very annoying. Thanks, Peter

Hi, I'm trying to export a sheet layer to pdf, but the pdf I get from that makes some symbols a blurry grey. I've tried a higher dpi number, in both the export as the sheet layer, that did not solve it. I'm out of ideas and hoping someone sees what I'm overlooking. thanks a lot, Peter test.vwx test.pdf

if it "sits" under the 2D imperial command, how do I then select it??

I'm trying to insert a 3D tapped hole in metric. I've read the instructions from vectorworks, but can only find a 2D imperial tapped hole. Do I need to update something, or am I doing it all wrong?

Hi everyone, hopefully an easy question this time. I've made a "net" from multiple cylinders and turned that into a symbol for a specific need. But now I want to use that net in various sizes. Is there a way to change the dimensions of this symbol but keep the grid size (the individual squares) the same size? In other words, change the outside measurements, but keep the interior the same size. thanks a lot for helping, Peter.

With the align/distibute method I managed to get my loci at the right spot. I made a very small measuring mistake, but the method worked. Thanks a lot for all your help and suggestions.
