Hello, We've been producing lot of Enscape real-time renderings recently and we often come across following texture mapping challenges/issues. 1. Is there a quick fix within vectorworks toolbox that we can correctly wrap texture on objects? One that can somehow correct individual mesh/solids faces so Auto-Align plane for mapping is working?... We are aware that we can apply texture to individual face and adjust mapping on face level but it is useless when there are objects with thousands faces ....Also as a part of building up interior scene we use often AI generated geometry (mesh objects) from images to create individual furniture pieces and we experience that there is not a way to succesfully apply new texture (other than imported with geometry) ... Can we maybe quickly re-build geometry itself for these type of the objects...? 2. we see that similiar challenge described above applies also to gemoetry completely created within vectorworks itself Two examples that we struggle attached: 1. Sofa - made up of multiple meshes (imported from Sketchup warehouse) with clean geometry but mapping going crazy ... + texture sample 2. Shelf - completely done in vectorworks with texture mapping breaking on round edges (fillet part) How you guys deal with these type of challenges? Thanks a lot for any suggestions. Pavol

@Bertf we had probably same issue recently, resulting in blank shared document, and it was caused by 'Export PDF...' settings where we had 'Export Range' set to other than 'All Pages' or 'Pages'. Changing it to 'All Pages' fixed the issue. Try it out. Hope this helps.

Hi @inikolova Thanks for looking into this issue. That's right these are quite large files some weighting few hundreds MBs. So I will instruct collaborators to use Nomad app or we will split file in smaller chunks. And one curious question: do you plan to add option to download document as pdf? That would be really useful. Anyway, shared documents are really great and we are really enjoying using them in the team. Thanks!

any idea @inikolova? Thanks

Hello, We are experiencing issue when trying to view shared document, following email link on iOS devices outside Nomad app. When file is fully downloaded and in preparation mode it suddenly reloads cloud services website and go into download mode again and this goes on and on .... We dont use android devices so cant say if it same there... It is working fine within nomad most of the time though from time to time we had same experience there too. Do you have any clue what might be causing this issue and how to fix it? Shared documents are great addition and we started using this to have most recent version of drawing sets up on the web shared among all collaborators. Thanks. Thanks.

Also make sure you have ticked this box when exporting/publishing.

Hello community, This one is long standing issue: 2D cut graphic in horizontal section vp with profile line on = profile line all over the place = mess Vectorworks please, please, provide option to turn off profile line altogether for stair's 2D cut graphic in HSVP until this get fixed. In fact, we would prefer not to include profile line in cut graphic at all. We are pretty OK with just clean 2D cut graphic when stair cutted in HSVP, no need to have profile line there. Profile line for vertical section is working fine and is needed. This is result when stair object cutted and profile line is on (separate cross sections): This one is really urgent! There is no other object causing this kind of issues when cut through in horizontal section viewport when profile line on in advanced settings ... and there is no easy fix for that either. What we do last 2-3 years we ungroup stair in top/plan view and add resulting clean 2D cut graphic to annotation space to overlay ill stair's graphic generated by viewport. And of course this procedure need to be done for all stairs in all plans! @Matt Panzer any information on possible fix coming soon? Thanks, Pavol

+ corner of the screen to choose from

Hi @heavy manners You can use 'Reconcile Notes...' menu command to do that. Try it out. Hope this helps.

This one is great. It is definitely quickest way to deactivate all currently active TTB. Thanks @Nikolay Zhelyazkov for very handy tip!

Hello, While data tags are really great and we deploy them wherever applicable we see these issues present when using them: 1. tagging spaces in section viewports - data tag is wrongly not seeing - not picking space objects that are actually cutted by cut plane of section viewport but instead only those not cutted but beyond cut plane. We saw on few occasions that there is small prompt provided to help chose from multiple overlapping legible objects (same as we have with coincident objects) but this prompt is not always there when there are multiple same spaces (for example) seen beyond cut plane ... 2. tagging objects (e.g. door/window and probably others) that are using own 'cut plane and display' settings (accessed through edit section in-place) are not seen by data tags. See attached screenshots. 3. we see that currently viewport styles are not really friends with data tags or this is is not fully fine-tuned yet - when unstyled viewport is converted to styled existing data tags in annotation disconnect from source object and reset to default vaules (we see this at least with tags for door/window and space objects ). We wanted to start to take advantage of new viewport styles but it seems that working with unstyled/styled viewport styles can trigger resset. Generally we see often disconnection of data tags from source objects for unknown reason and it is really pain to reasocciate them back one by one when there is a lot of windows/doors/spaces etc. We see it mainly happening in horizontal section viewports or regular section viewports. We normally place data tags only in annotation space. @Nikolay Zhelyazkov Would you have some clue what might be the issue or is there something we should be aware of? Thanks a lot. Pavol

Thanks @Nikolay Zhelyazkov for your suggestion to use worksheet. We have tried that, but we found this unreliable as the change from true to false or other way around from within worksheet is not always transferred to actual title block border ... some are some not... Anyway, it would be really great to have one button to deactivate all currently active title block borders without need to go inside title block manager>Selected Sheets check all > deactivate and back in to activate those for current task.

Hello, Is there a way to show today's date in worksheet cell with spreadsheet setup? We are using this functions: =FORMATFIELD('Title Block Project Data'; '...') to get some data from title block border ... but would be great if we could add today's date too .... to the header of the worksheet layout with list of drawings (database part) as a main part of worksheet. I guess it doesn't have to be connected to title block border data, but all we need to get today's date displayed + so that it automatically updates to correct date. Any help much appreciated.

it's been like this already for good few years 🙁 ... at least that is our experience

Hi Community, Is there some shortcut to deactivate all active title blocks in one file without going into Title block manager and select all sheets and then deactivate? Maybe @Nikolay Zhelyazkov do you have some tip - shortcut to quickly deactivate all presently active title blocks?
