... there is another similar issue I am encountering. While rotation of doors/windows has been fixed with SP4 there is some missing geometry in horizontal section VP. (if I remember well it was there in SP3 and earlier version too). While in floor plan (where cutting plane runs directly through objects) is everything OK in horizontal section VP in section taken above openings some parts are missing....(now guessing those parts are polyline as well...) I has checked all the classes but everything is on and consistent throughout VPs. .... Pavol

File is 450 MB in size ...can you provide me email address so I can use 'mail drop' to send attachment this large? I haven't tried to downgrade? Do I need to reinstall whole application?

Thanks Matt. I was just about to print out all project drawings after months of work and to my surprise found out that...had tried to reimport symbols from vw resource library with no positive result. Pavol

Adding vwx file in attachment. Maybe @Matt Panzer can you have a look at it? Any help much appreciated. Pavol HSVPissue.vwx

Hello, After updating to VW 2019 SP 4 horizontal section viewports with 'hidden line' background render lost some geometry...i see it in 2D/3D symbols Any idea what might cause this issue? Something has changed? Thanks. Pavol

Hi, How to retrieve or where to look for overall length from framing member object for my worksheet? Not base length (2831,..). See attached print screen. I need to provide this dimension for sawmill. Thanks. Pavol

Same here. Thanks Christiaan and Bas for your effort. We NEED this tools to get improved dramatically in order to cover all the different scenarios. It is very very basic now. For the beginning I would be really happy if international version gets belgian/dutch window/door abilities. Pavol

Thanks Steven, In framing member tool in render tab i dont get this options (class texture)...however when using attribute mapping tool (first i get notice, see attachment) hitting OK i get few of mapping options icluding rotation but with no effect to texture alignment when changed. I think i has read recently on this forum that you are not able to correct it in case of framing member object. ..?

Hi Guys, Is there a way to correctly map texture on the framing element that is at angle...in my case rafters. I hope there is, but fear there is not ... Thanks. Pavol

Hi, Am I missing something to fix unwanted text order flip...in data tag layout? This happens when leader/shoulder is on right side... See attached printscreen and vw file. Thanks for help. Pavol datatag text layout.vwx

I want to show only outline (not all components) of the walls above cut plane in horizontal section vieports. Is there a way to hide individual components of that wall styles and rather show only clean outline of the wall? Each component of my wall style is assigned to individual class, but wall as an object is assign to general interior or exterior wall class. Thanks for help in advance.

Hello, Is there a way to show how much each resource in given file contribute to overall file size? (renderworks textures, images, hatches, symbols etc....). Would be helpful to track down ones that are too large in size...and optimise them. Thanks.

Thanks @Nikolay Zhelyazkov for quick answear. Aha, Auto Drawing Coordination is the reason...

Hi guys, How to set up worksheet for sheet data that i can edit in two way manner (edit say sheet title within worksheet). Is it possible and how? Thanks.

@line-weightthanks for your opinion. I read all the complaints and see myself this unfinished state of features or some not working properly . However recently I've made a decision not be too quick to criticise and first dive deep and properly examine functionality in 3D as well (so far been using vectorworks primarily in 2D environment) and as I go write down all the issues... In this forum so far I've mentioned only ones that bother me most as I progress through project. After I am finish I want to write report of all the issues I came across and send it here. I do love vectorworks especially because I think it is build on very logical a rational foundation but I am first to vote for highest quality in every aspect. At the end I strive for excellence in all of my projects and when I see that some areas of software are kind of falling apart it is so so discouraging and frustrating. I wish for my daily software to able in some way to inspire me for what I am doing. Aesthetic and functional quality of highest standard... I write more later.

Thanks guys for help, @elepp ...hm I was afraid that this i the case...that it is simply just not finished setting in entirety. That's really not good that some tools in vw are not completely finished. To be honest I don't understand the reason why vw is bringing some features that are half way finished or better to say unfinished....and we are not talking about some complex stuff... @Alan Woodwell thanks, your suggestion partially works for me. I have a sheet layer dedicated to present all the wall styles through the worksheet and there is 3D thumbnail for each style showing present components...so my workaround at the moment is publish it with different texture settings

Thanks a lot Pat, Scripting is something i haven't started yet, but I think I am getting ready to start with something simple. For me it is unknown realm at the moment...I will definitely give it a try. Regarding referencing worksheet cells I am really happy it is possible in one file, does this work between different files too? Pavol

Hi Guys, Any idea how to get rid off these dirty lines in windows/doors in the viewport? Foreground: Hidden Line Background: OpenGL - no edges See viewport settings in attachment. Thanks. Pavol

ahh sorry you asked for v2018 Test It v2018.vwx

hope v2017 works for you. Test It v2017.vwx

Ive copied space object with style into a clean new file, created VP of it and exported to dwg and it works fine... Sending copy of the file. space label bug.vwx However in original file those spaces sharing same space style which I created in another file... and there i've noticed something odd: If i create VP of that space object and if 'Show 2D Boundary' is on it will not show space label (only text part)...and when I want to 'edit layout ' of the space style I get this: Maybe that is what is causing issues....? Here is link to original thread: Or do I need to create space style from scratch...? Thanks Nina. Pavol

File is 800MB...i will try to reproduce in new one and then I send it you. Thanks for help. Pavol

Is it a bug or way it is designed that whenever item is in resource browser renamed it break the link... Simply in my existing worksheet i have listed one particular wall style (using criteria). Now I want to rename that style...and as I do through resource browser link is broken. Is it meant to work that way or is it a bug...? Do I need to refresh something in order to re-pick renamed item by worksheet...?

Anybody having an issue of not fully exporting space label... Here are my export settings exported VP and result. Pavol

Thanks Wes your examples. I didn't know you can auto-bound slab element with only one edge to the wall...really really handy to know. It's great to learn new stuff every day. 🙂 Thanks Phileas for typing all those questions, they are all very much useful topic to me either as I try hard to collect all the techniques using 3D - BIM only approach.
