[VW2022 Some UI issues]

I seem to be having an issue where Unified view is off in my file but I can't turn it back on.

[Needed-NYC & Project Based Vectorworks Expert]

Hi There, we are looking to expand our drafting and modeling team for some project based work in the month of March and April and potentially May. We create architecturally driven pop up environments at a large scale and a high profile.

 

The work we are doing is redeployed annually, so rigorous drawing standards are required. 

While we are looking for a vectorworks person with experience either in event production or design focused architecture projects, we are opened to all backgrounds.

A key facility we are looking for is love for technical details (both the drawn kind and on the software side) along with an ability to focus on the big picture. Prioritizing your work load and looking ahead will be required, as well as flexibility to shift those priorities in a high intensity work environment. 

 

We have a strong background in drawing fully 2D and 3D models using hybrid symbols. We use records and worksheets so that we have a model that has a 1 to 1 correspondence with the inventory  that we also manage.

This coming month we need to create as built drawings of distro and lighting, audio, systems from our Winterland installation on Pier 17. We also need to prep the drawing set and the model information for our Summer Installation. Finally we also need to create models of our warehouse inventory. 

 

If you are interested and available (partially or fully) please message me with your background and experience. Thanks

That is amazingly correct. Thanks! Can't wait until SP3

[Data Visualization and Symbols]

I can't find any documentation on how viewport data visualizations work with symbols. Do symbols with different record fields work with Data Visualization? 

 

From my testing it appears that any record field that is applied to symbol with a visualization override will apply to all the instances of that symbol, regardless of whether other instances have a different field value.

 

It looks like the last created symbol and the fields attached to it set the visualization override for all instances of that symbol. So if I have a symbol "Door 1" and I have a record field "Type" set to "Fire Door" for that symbol, all the "Door 1"'s in the document will have the same overrides even if they have their record field "Type" set to "Regular". This really limits the usefulness of Data Visualization's for me. We deal with primary modular components which we implement in Vectorworks as symbols. It would be great if I could color my symbols in a viewport based on whether they were on site, or the build order or anything else that I would like to attach to a record.

Hear hear. I’ve had this same issue.

[Check if solid is generic or addition, subtraction, etc?]

Thanks!

[Edit Menu Command]

How do I go back and edit a menu command created from a marionette node?

[Check if solid is generic or addition, subtraction, etc?]

Is there anyway to check if a solid geometry is either generic or an editable 3D like solid addition or subtraction? Since Generic solids perform better I thought it would be nice to create a script to highlight they symbols in my library that are 3D but are not generic. When I check the object type of solids though they all come in as type 84.

[Teaser Tuesday - 2D Components for Hybrid Objects - Vectorworks 2019]

To confirm then, these new 2D components only show up in hidden line viewports and hidden line sections orthogonal to the components plane?

 

It would be nice if these showed up in the wireframe viewport as well, more similar to how plan view hybrid objects work. The hidden line pass in my current file still takes about 20 min even with the main elements getting the front component treatment.
