Isolate/Hide Object
KIT KOLLMEYER replied to Mark666's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Is this on a Vectorworks to do list? I was just working on a complicated object that is covered by other objects. It's just a quick little thing so I didn't want to make separate classes. I thought, there must be a simple isolate object function in VW, searched and was surprised there isn't. I really don't want to mess with scripting for something like this, it seems like it should just be part of the software. Sketchup does it, why can't VW? -
Custom Arrow Heads
KIT KOLLMEYER replied to KIT KOLLMEYER's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Thanks Allan! I like the symbol approach, that's cool. I've played with the edit marker and don't quite get where I need to be sometimes, like the one highlighted in blue in my screenshot. I was thinking it would be cool if you could make your own symbol to use as a custom leader marker on callouts or any other tool that uses arrow heads. -
Second decimal in slope dimension tool
KIT KOLLMEYER posted a question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
The slope dimension tool only has one decimal, so for a 1/4":12" roof slope it'll show either .3/12 or .2/12. It would be great to have a second decimal in the tool so roof slopes can be shown correctly. https://www.loom.com/share/9d6381b5576240548e2aa45fc7b8c7d4?sid=517f30e5-c949-4699-90e7-0f992b243742 -
I'd love to be able to make my own arrow head styles for annotation. For instance, this arrow head that indicates sheathing direction. Also, when we show a joist in a floor framing plan, I could have little hangar symbols at the end of each line. I can think of lots of good uses for a little feature like that. Thanks Kit

Creating a skylight schedule/ data tags.
KIT KOLLMEYER replied to jtempleton's topic in Architecture
It seems the consensus is VW should make a skylight tool just like they did with doors and windows that can be inserted into roofs and easily tagged and scheduled. I hope VW is working on this, many of us have been asking for it for years. -
Yes, that's right, and auto-bound scan will only clip wall components at the perimeter. But that's not exactly what I'm talking about. The example in the video was of an internal wall that needs the ceiling to be clipped on one side and not the other. I think it would make sense if slabs had the same abilities as roofs, to clip or be clipped.

It's very useful the way roof objects are able to clip walls and walls are able to clip components of roof objects. I'd like that same function for slabs. I explain a real world use of that feature here: https://www.loom.com/share/7d16e12165794aeeb70d711381bc8f5f?sid=767f37ae-8c67-43de-9451-665f308c64ab Thanks Kit

Alternate Section Fill not working for roof styles
KIT KOLLMEYER replied to KIT KOLLMEYER's question in Troubleshooting
Aha! I knew it worked before. Thanks for clarifying. I'll submit as a bug report. Thanks, Kit -
Has anyone found a good method for creating a soffit component in a roof style? Watch this screen recording to understand the nuances of the question: https://www.loom.com/share/5acccf427431484cb1f2d460eba3da51?sid=11f91e1d-af18-4490-be96-34ff2a30ddc4 Thanks, Kit

Alternate Section Fill not working for roof styles
KIT KOLLMEYER posted a question in Troubleshooting
Having a problem in 2024 where the alternate section fill does not happen at the section fill change point designated in a roof style. Am I doing something wrong here? Screen video of issue here: https://www.loom.com/share/b84bb49bb64e412eaf62f3dcabd282de?sid=ee282d22-bd03-4d56-adcd-a50302a5486d Thanks, Kit -
Creating a skylight schedule/ data tags.
KIT KOLLMEYER replied to jtempleton's topic in Architecture
Is anyone from Vectorworks following this topic? Hoping to see a native skylight object (like windows) with native tagging capabilities. -
For anyone following along, this video I recorded just this morning, will explain the most frustrating apparently unsolvable issue with data tags, and why I even started looking at tags within the PIOs. https://www.loom.com/share/967fdadf922d438eaca258ed8bb5b112?sid=5dd3d79c-3071-4bae-aaac-887919072ce7
