    Hello, I have difficulty to correctly export/print a sheet with viewports (section viewports) that have same data visualization applied. Some print correct some not. On screen everything looks OK but on exported/printed PDF something goes wrong and some viewports render without DV applied partially or completely. I have tested type of DV settings: one (DV01 - red fills) based on class function and other based on material function (DV02-black solid fill) but no difference. When no DV is applied everything works fine. It looks that viewports that dont export correctly are same for all scenarios... Any idea?

    @markddthanks a lot. I need to have correct 2d plan (horizonatal section) and maybe more importantly correct 2D graphic in sections viewports - not only some square (beam type member)with white fill in it (2D default graphic) but preferably some hatching and diagonals going through square. And reason for using structural member is to get at the end correct report for materials quantity and member length.. I am thinking now if this is possible with extrudes too...(to get overall lenght and dimensions for individual extrudes...? maybe yes...Well I would prefer styles for structural member as this is at present state overcomplicated task. Thanks for pointing me to auto hybrid I think this has really strong place to cover some objects and I am now getting back to this tool/option. Year ago or maybe more I had difficulty to make it play nicely with horizontal section. If I recall correctly there was some clash between cut plane level for auto hybrid and cut plane for horizontal section viewport...but might be my mistake of overlooking some settings...

    Thanks for answering my query. I dont know neither, never got such alert. Maybe something to do with materials resources...? Have been doing materials referencing back and forth recently ...

    Thanks @Hugues for your input into my issues. Aha... I thought that criteria 'visible selection state' is already quite narrow when one single object (this time slab with slab style) is present on current screen...? I was really hoping that it can be that simple. So do I have to add additional criteria to my criteria functions...like on which Layer it is present...and so on? I want to keep it as simple as possible and as universal as possible. How you would add more criteria to image function or componentthickness? Thanks for your time.

    Thanks @zoomer for your post. I have tried now edit default story data file and have placed this file firstly to workgroup folder then moved it to application support folder and finally to application folder itself but none of these is working for me. I am talking about one file that i moved from place to place while other folders (Story Support folders) were empty. Whenever I open Stories tab in Organisation dialogue same default level types occur...? Have you got more luck with this thing?

    Well it only works when strictly using my own resources...whenever I bring in some external resource (for example symbol that is bound to 'Finish Floor') it will not recognise my custom naming for finish floor. I hope there is a way to map level type names with custom names in application structure....

    Thanks Wes, I am aware of organization dialogue and stories tab and renaming there. However I was thinking about renaming (to my native language) level type names deeper in application structure so I can override english naming and it will stay that way for future use...any idea?

    Hello, Could someone direct me in which file I can rename default naming for stories/levels structure? Will new names work with symbols/walls/slabs/roof that are bound to stories? That is crucial part. Thanks.

    Any idea? Someone more experienced with worksheets?

    Here is simple file with worksheet (actually two types) and slab with slab style in it. Now in attached file everything works perfectly fine...as intended. Real issue starts whenever I bring - import any of attached worksheet into not blank file but file where content is already build up and there are are many layers, viewports, styles with content in it...(I dont know if there is some connection between content of file and the problem itself, but so far recalculating worksheet never worked properly in such files with more content in it...?) Ultimate goal is to create wall/slab/roof style reports of present structures in those files .... but for some reason recalculating worksheet takes that long. I have suspicion that my formulas might be missing something and it is not written syntax correctly---but I am not sure...I don't know. Thanks for your time it would be of huge help as I spent quite some time to build these worksheet and materials resources and styles and I have no succes with final step... Thanks. spreadsheet__20201018.vwx

    Hi vw community, I hit my limits to find reason why my worksheet (spreadsheet setup) is working perfectly fine in blank file (with only one slab style and worksheet itself) but have real struggle to recalculate in file with model - building in it (many layers, viewports ...etc). Takes 10-15 minutes! I attach one screenshot with shown and described formula structure and other with look of desired result. Core criteria is vsel=true, so I basically select any slab that has slab style and while worksheet opened hit 'recalculate active worksheet' and get all information about individual components and result of object as a whole. There must be something ill with formulae...but I dont know what. I have noticed that whenever i import worksheet to any full project file, worksheet for some reason picks up some very high componentthicknessvalue for component no.1...? (3945 mm or similiar). It doesnt happen in blank file.... Would appreciate your time and help as I cant seem to resolve it. I will be willing to share worksheet if needed. Thanks in advance.

    Hello, I want to reference newly created slab style (with components with material resources in it) to one of my project file. I am presented with dialogue like this...Is it safe to replace? what is actually doing this format? It is not visible in file ...

    Hi guys, I am digging more into 2D components side of symbols/plug-in and wonder about couple of things: - is there a simple way to assign custom(user-provided) 2D component to already laid out framing/structural members structure (they share same 2D component) or do I have to do it one by one...any eye dropper shortcut/copy paste. I know I can make first member to my liking and then duplicate it and built up my members layout from scratch but what if there is already structure placed...any quick solution? - i have found out that I can place as a custom 2D component any symbol (that makes life much easier when situation arise that I have to alter 2D component custom graphic of objects with same 2D component). However is there some limitation to using symbols within 2D component? Something to be aware of? I see that LOD (low, medium, high) viewport settings doesn't pass on the custom 2D component - symbol itself... Also I have noticed that for example when I change pitch/roll angle of structural member with already assigned custom 2D component (Left and Right Cut), custom 2D component will not rotate accordingly and stay untouched with same rotation...is is WAD or a bug Any answer would be much appreciated.

    Lovely stuff, would be nice to be able to do it on roof style too. I mean roofing component with slates. Anyway, what a coincidence. I am just about to start to work on a new renovation project - house that its walls are built out of logs and I have been really thinking for last few weeks how to approach it with conventional wall. Texture way wasn't satisfying enough. Now I know 😀

    I've got feeling that framing member was deliberately left out of new material resource. I guess structural member will eventually replace it (judging from virtual summit keynote and mention of improved structural member). While you can apply texture to timber frame its mapping is not correct in rafters and sloped members. I've decided to make transition to structural member because of material ability even though it is quite difficult to model for example rafter member with some slope. I do it now with assistance of framing member that I delete when structural member is properly placed/has correct slope.

    Have yout tried Configuration: 'Cased Opening' ?

    Is anybody also experiencing issues with site model skirt color showing up in section viewport not respecting cut profile? It look to me that this is happening only when section vp through site model - snapshot has cut plane along Y axis (vertical on screen). I attach screen shot with first one section vp showing only site model itself (class with snapshot off) and one with site model - snapshot on (and site model class off). I have tried and recreated anew snapshots but no success...

    Thanks @Matt Panzer for investigating into this issues. This one with staircase 2D graphic is really annoying...same applies to space tag display when using class for line in Objects beyond cut plane advanced viewport settings. I feel that start and end markers behaves randomly. Never got control on settings how to achieve expected result. Is new 'Top Graphic' feature somehow helping staircase in horizontal sections? I haven't time yet to explore this enhancement. Just to be sure we need to have correct 2D graphic for staircase not only for floor plan directly above one with staircase but also spanning across all floors. I mean for example looking down (horizontal section) from above 4 storey building and correctly seeing exterior staircase that sits on ground floor level. Hopefully these issues can be sorted soon. Anyway I am really enjoying working with latest release I feel that there went some solid work into it. Will write small review later on. Thanks.

    Ok. I figured out myself that call for Product Description is materialproductdescriptiom.
  20. drelARCH
    Any chance missing information will be added soon? https://developer.vectorworks.net/index.php/VS:Working_with_Materials#MaterialProperty_values I would like call out Product Description value but cant find correct worksheet name to do that. Thanks.

    @Tom W.Would you mind sharing more information on successful setup. Do you have two different class one for space object and other for 3D boundary (with texture)? Can you see transparent texture on space object in 3d view (Open GL) or it is only viewport setup? Do you need light object in order to work this? I cant seem to make it work. I only see 3D line boundary of space object in 3D view with no fill - texture showing...Using two different classes, one for space object one for 3D boundary...both 'by class' attributes (Space object style>Graphic Attributes tab) Thanks a lot.

    I really enjoy new drawing label, well done! I have a question though: Is it possible to add to definition custom label with custom text. From time to time I want to better describe drawing so I am thinking to have beside Title text some subtitle with custom text...in previous versions custom scale box was my friend to achieve this. I hope there is now more elegant way...?
  23. drelARCH
    I wonder is it related with constrained/unconstrained chain dimension not picking (in OIP) text style change made in dimension standard? I am having this issue in both vw2020 and vw2021 versions.

    @_c_ Thanks for sharing your issues and for suggesting solutions. That is indeed good example where VW needs to get better... I wonder have you tried using horizontal section with Object Display.../Hidden object display? Is it of any use for this scenario? I see you are using regular viewport for plans. I did tried those settings for controlling visibility of objects before cut plane, but really didnt get fully satisfied with result. But I guess I need to spend more time to fully explore it. I have moved to using solely horizontal sections for creating plans (doing mainly smallish residential projects) but I see it is not still ready yet... for example space objects tags don't show up correctly once more than one floor plan is visible beyond cut plane ...

    Cant you do that with setting material's fill and texture attributes to use class style?
