  1. Hello, On the last versions of VectorWorks, we can finally get directly the map backgrounds of the IGN and Géoportail in the GIS module. It's pretty cool, but if we have this possibility in native for various European map backgrounds (Switzerland for example) there is no French background and it's a shame. Especially since they are free. So if ever here are two links that work and are useful to get the cadastre or aerial photos (high resolution 1pixel=20cm): IGN Essentiels : https://wxs.ign.fr/essentiels/geoportail/r/wms IGN Ortho 20cm & co : https://wxs.ign.fr/inspire/inspire/r/wms Give it a whirl ... if it helps 😉 Yours sincerely.

  2. Hi James, I don't know if I understood your request correctly because of the translation in my language, but now the plants are also displayed in 2D using this tool. See attached screenshot. The 2D plants cannot be repositioned as desired, but it is already very interesting to present a quick and representative project visualisation. I hope I have answered your question. Kind regards.

  3. Unfortunately a few months and SP version later the problem persists ... too much work on other more important points for the developers? And it's the same on other reported bugs that have been hanging around since V.2020 ... If, I took that long to resolve the issues reported by my customers, I wouldn't have any more. 😥
  4. Hello, I've had quite a few problems with using VectorWorks and the dual screen in Windows, with the palettes wandering around and doing what they wanted (especially when the monitors were put to sleep). I tried to find out from the hotline how to solve these problems (which they didn't seem to have on their side... Windows configuration specificity). The only solution I found to tame the windows and stop finding them and putting them back is DisplayFusion https://www.displayfusion.com/ See if this helps. Have a nice day. Best regards. Edgar
  5. Hello I spent a lot of time trying to fix the problem of tool pallets that changed places unexpectedly, especially in multi-screen configuration. The hotline made me make a number of tweaks without success. Finally, I found a utility (under Windows) called Display Fusion that can recall the position of windows and pallets on multiple screens. This requires some tweaks and hacks (with Edgar Ramel's view control pallets specifically). But now, a key F20 or extension/restore of the application window and everything ends up where I want and how I want. It saved me time and saved my nerves (but as there are fortunately plenty of other topics of annoyance with VW ... my nerves are still strained enough 🤪). Hoping it serves Windows users. Kind regards. Edgar
  6. Hello ! If by any chance someone has a solution to the rounding problem, I am still interested because I have not found it on my side. Thank you in advance. Edgar
  7. Good evening @Pat Stanford , Thanks for your help, you are a well of science in the field of VectorWorks! (and probably in many others that I don't know 😊) I'd skimmed over these topics well, but didn't quite understand the principle of dividing by the unit of area. It works now 👍🏻 Probably an integrated solution like for linear lengths or widths would be easier ... But it would probably take away the charm of VectorWorks and all those nice exchanges on the forum 🤭. I haven't figured out how to round the result, but that's something. (1674.509803922, that's pretty damn accurate though 😉 ) INT, ROUND or rounddown do not work. I didn't find too much information about the calculation functions in the data tag. Thanks again for your knowledge and sharing it. A good end of evening or day depending on your time zone. Best regards. Edgar
  8. Hello, I'm trying to do a calculation in a data tag that would give me the theoretical load or weight of an object (in this case a rectangle) as a function of its area. I had also tried to indicate a volume notion by multiplying the surface by a thickness (for mulch for example) and I have the same problem. It would almost work ... if the unit of measure was not displayed, because the "m2" disturbs the readability of the move. And it's impossible to remove "display unit symbol" with function #AREA#. I tried many options but it doesn't work 😪 However, with the #HHEIGHT# function, it is possible to ask not to display the unit ... I have tried to reproduce the #m_0_0# syntax manually as #sq m_0_0#, but it does not work ... Do you have a solution for me? And also, is there a list of calculation functions that can be used in the data labels? The help is more than sketchy in this area. Thank you in advance for your answers and solutions. Best regards. Edgar RAMEL
  9. Yes thank you @Kevin K, of course there are plenty of possibilities to get around this bug, but it is true that having the ability to directly and correctly import rhinoceros files in Vectorworks 2021 would make more sense to me. Whenever possible, I like to be self-sufficient to retrieve my files and it's a feature that didn't cause any problems in a 2019 version, so why in 2021? We'll see in the SP4 if this bug is repaired ... There is another one that is close to my heart with the double linetype and that I would also like to see repaired "hope brings life" as they say 😉 Bon week-end. Edgar
  10. Hello @setdesignerand @Kevin K, Thank you for your answers. Unfortunately I don't have Rhino 6, and multiplying the installations will eventually saturate my hard drive. I already have VectorWorks since V.2018 in case there are problems to open some files ... So, to summarize, if I want to import Rhino with VectorWorks 2021, I downgrade Rhino to V.6 or I downgrade VectorWorks to v.2019 ... Well, we can do it somehow ... but we can't say that it's satisfactory and "modern". 🤨 I don't really find : "One flexible solution for your entire design process" & "When it's simple to do everything, you can create anything". It would be nice if our programmers would take a look at it anyway. If V.2019 recovers Rhino 7 files saved in v.5, VectorWorks 2021 should be able to do it right? 🤔 Have a nice weekend. Best regards. Edgar Rhino 5 from Rhino 7 on VectorWorks 2021😢
  11. Hello @Luciana I also had this problem that seems recurring with Vectorworks. To solve this you have to stop the automatic resolution and lower the resolution of the image to 200,300 or 400 dpi. Another solution is to enlarge the size of the geo-referenced image. Both of these solutions work, but personally I hardly use Vectorworks' NATIVE GIS card functions anymore. Too random, and long to refresh with each file reopening. I collect aerial photos with Google Earth and I reference them with a KMZ file, also I tried Global Mapper which manages the creation of georeferenced files, and finally SAS Planet that downloads and assembles tiles on fairly large areas. It took me a few weeks to find a methodology that is reliably "reproducible," but now it works pretty well. There you go. Have a nice weekend. Kind regards. Edgar
  12. Hello, Well, BIG disappointment 😭 ! The double "line type" on polylines are not fixed in SP3. What are the development guys up to??? We can't fix something that worked well two years ago in V2019 ??? And then, they say in the com that they don't stop the progress and that VectorWorks is more powerful with each update... Yeah 🤔 ... so, maybe in SP4 we'll have the reported bugs fixed? Or is there no point in reporting bugs and trying to make VectorWorks progress or maintain itself? Please give me a feedback from the development guys. Best regards. Edgar RAMEL Style de trait “ligne double‟ bug sur polyligne.vwx
  13. Hello, Despite a bug report in SP2, the import of Rhinoceros 3D still doesn't work 😢. It's crazy, am I the only one importing 3D Rhinoceros that it doesn't worry the developers more? Anyway, let's wait for SP4, hopefully ... will users' bug reports be taken into account? Waiting for a solution/repair please. Best regards. Edgar RAMEL PS: otherwise if you have any hints on how to select the 3D import format that works best with VectorWorks (with transparent textures + small file size) I'm in 😊 Cornière-tirefond v2.3dm
  14. Hello @ChrissieB, The behavior you describe reminded me of a concern I had as well. Strangely small plant styles when all their standard settings were with large sizes... And today, the problem is recurring in my home as well 🤔 ... I didn't understand what was happening to me and thought about your post. I may have understood what was going on for you. Because on my end, it was just the plant tool insertion options I had set to size a plant to 0.30m that applied. Then to all the symbols that I inserted without taking into account the default settings of the new inserted plant ... I hope this may have explained the strange behavior you have noticed? Have a nice day. Best regards. Edgar
  15. Hello, The post is a little dated, but here is my contribution ... in case it helps. Best regards. Edgar
