  1. Can’t seem to find the comparable commands in the US VW version for the video above. Do they exist?
  2. Gunther, Please explain what is meant by a 'customer install'. Also is the below the driver you installed for the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with Max Q Design? GeForce Game Ready Driver Version:517.48 WHQL Release Date:2022.9.27 Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit, Windows 11 Language: English (US) File Size:787.63 MB I'm currently running NVIDIA Driver Version 31.0.15.1700, Driver Date: 8/2/2022, Digital Signer: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher. Do I need to download and install the DirectX file you noted above as well. Sure don't want to mess around with updates that aren't going to remedy the existing problems and/or create more. Also have VW set to work solely with the NVIDIA driver. Is that as it should be? Thanks in advance
  3. DFlores and Gunther, if you find the fix for the crashing and the blue screen, please share. I had a short session when all seemed to be in order then another random crash when trying to share a file on google meet. Then it just kept randomly crashing again on simple tasks. Wondering if I should do the service pack 1 update or if I’m going to need to reinstall everything.
  4. Also have problems with crashing when just getting started, trying to save a new or old file, opening an existing file, etc. Have un-installed and Re-installed VW 2023 Did all windows 11 pro v.22H2 and Dell updates. on a Dell XPS 15 9570, 32gb, I-78750h cpu@2.20GHZ with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with MaxQ Design v517.00 Have submitted inquiry to Service Select tech support with no response yet. Hoping someone can assist. Thanks in advance.
  5. I received a shape file for topo information. It has elevations as a record values and all the z-values in the OIP are "0". Is there a quick way to move the record values to the z-values in the OIP using a worksheet? Hoping this is an easy problem for someone more advanced than I.
  6. Also frustrated by this issue in version 2022. I was only able to get the plants to set on the surface after moving them to my model layer even though I have a plants layer (and other layers) set to effect the site model. HOWEVER, I still cannot adjust there z value to move them to a specific height. As was noted above, changing the z value does nothing. Selecting the plant in section or 3-d view and trying to adjust the height also doesn't work. Also tried to put a plant into a symbol to try to be able to adjust the height. Didn't work. Hoping a fix for this issue comes out ASAP.
  7. Is there a way to insert the 3D image (ie image prop for a plant) into a worksheet?
  8. Trying to do a simple worksheet to calculate cu. yds of material for landscape areas. Wanted to sum similar areas but worksheet doesn't calculate cu. yds for all areas. If I don't summarize by item, the cu. yds. show fine. When I do summarize, the cu. yds field is "----" with no number. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
  9. Materials Default Worksheet.vwx Attaching a simple file of materials with area of '0'. Interestingly, when when I leave the material as the default material, it does report an area but not a volume. If I change the material, it then reports a volume but no area (Shown in attached file) Clarification on how these reports works would be appreciated.
  10. I looked at "Materials by landscape object" and "Materials Take-off -Spreadsheet" (which has a few typos in the table formatting BYW).
  11. I've found this a source of frustration as well. I often change the z elevation to something above 0 then back to 0 (or send to surface) and then the plant sits were it should. Unfortunately, it seems you have to do this one plant at a time as 'select all' hasn't seemed to work.
  12. Looking at some of the pre-formatted reports for materials. Wondering why the 'materialsurfacearea' reports as '0'? I can get the area by changing the function 'area' but would like to understand the difference between the two. 'materialvolume' works as expected. Thanks in advance.
  13. Cool animation Luis. Maybe you could do a “how-to” / tips and tricks video on that?
  14. Could someone tell me why my slope worksheet has no colors? I just dragged the preformatted 'Site Slope Analysis' worksheet onto my drawing and it doesn't seem to be working. Do I need to edit the worksheet (shown below). Can't seem to find any specifics on using this worksheet. Please direct me to them if they exist. Thanks in advance.
  15. Could someone tell me the best way to convert a google earth kml file to a shape file for vectorworks landmark? Also would appreciate any video tutorials that cover this topic. Thanks in advance.
  16. Asking a question here as it is related site modifiers. I have a model which has several site modifier conflicts according to the object info palette however no yellow error triangles are showing on the model. Why would this be? Is there a certain setting I need to have checked?
  17. Yes, my settings under components for the landscape areas where not set correctly. Still getting used to using that field. Thanks a bunch.
  18. Can someone tell me what all the red triangulation lines are on my texture beds in the attached image? How do I get rid of them? Thanks in advance.
  19. I am trying to export a 33,750KB VW2021 file to DXF/DWG. I am ending up with a 231KB dwg file and 4, 1kb GIMP patterns in a folder. I am using the default export settings and am getting no error messages but how can that be possible? Shouldn't the file size be much larger? Can anyone offer links/suggestions to help me get this export done properly? Thanks in advance.
  20. Attached is a simple file showing the issue Data Tag sample.vwx
  21. Just switched up to VW2021and suddenly my data tags for landscape areas no longer show the areas with the definition as defined above. ...#AREA#.#AREA## sq ft_0_1# Any idea what's changed? Was hoping the default area parameter would have been fixed so it didn't show areas with 7 decimals places.
  22. Thanks rDesign. I used the framing member tool instead of the symbol option to make my log and then followed the above. I was not able to use the window itself to subtract solids with for some reason. I had to make a cutout sized to the window and use that. Also was not able to group a stack of logs and use the subtract solids tool. Wondering if either of these things is a glitch in my system or a flaw in my steps. Either way, I did get something to work though more time consuming than I'd hoped for.
  23. Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I only have Landmark and I don't have the framing tool so will be looking for a work around. Was hoping to be able to clip the windows and doors through a log symbol but that doesn't seem to work. Also tried creating the logs with the wall projection tool but that won't allow me to extend the logs the full length of the walls and beyond.
  24. Anyone have any "how-to's" on how log cabin walls would be done with VW2020? Possibly simpler than discussed above. Any suggestions for videos to watch or manuals to review? Thanks in advance.
