Thanks,

Is there an equivalent way to achieve this in vectoworks worksheets?

I would like to just display the finish material code and not the material in the finish schedule.

In excel I would create a blank column to the right column C and add this formula =LEFT(C5,FIND("]",C5)+1)

See attached image

Is there a vectorscript command to create new space style from current space handle?

And what would you like this option to do?

The current options in "Draw All Other Objects" are "Normally" and "Grayed". I would like "Hidden" to be added to those options so that objects not modified by Data Visualization properties would not display in the selected Data Visualization.

May 12, 2020

I would like to request that a "Hidden" option is added to "Data Visualization" to the "Draw All Other Objects" Options

I am looking for the files to modify for Standard Naming. For example the User 3 profile. Does anyone know where they are located or what the name of the file is?

The following script will leave out Drawing Labels if they only have the default records added to them, which is how they are inserted by default. Extra logic would need to be added in order to check if multiple records are attached to the drawing labels.

Marissa:

I understand why you collected the handles of the Viewports before processing the actions but I was wondering why you collected the handles of the drawing labels before not deleting them. Would it be more efficient code to delete objects as you detect them?

Does anyone know if it is possible to define a class tag using vectorscript?

Below are the final results:

Three scripts to assigns selected objects to class "1_Exist-(original class)", "2_Demo-(original class)" , or original class and set Construction Phase Existing, Demo, or New

"""
This script assigns selected objects to class "1_Exist-(original class)" and set Construction Phase to Existing.

If a in wall object is selected without selecting the wall the script will only change those in wall objects.
If a wall is selected it will change the wall and all objects inserted in that wall.
If New class does not exist objects original class is duplicated to retain class attributes.

To take full advantage of this script use "Data Visualization" to display the "Construction Phase"
  record objects as desired.
     1. Set "Data Visualization" to modify drawings per "Construction Phase" record
     2. To make a "Construction Phase" invisible set the attributes of that phase to:
           Line settings to Fill "Solid White" and Line weight "0"

Not inserting the symbol in the wall or using PIO seems to be the best course of action. The symbols visualization works fine if is not nested in a wall. If it is nested I can remove it and re-nest it and the visualization works fine. I still think this is a glitch since it just takes some sort of refresh to make it work. That being said vs.redrawall() does not work (it actually causes every item changed not to refresh). For the most part I think I can work around it but it a bit aggravating.

Just to make this more fun, I am going to throw some Vectorscript in here. 😉

I added your script to mine and it works great but I think I found a Vectorworks bug.

This is a view of a wall with objects after running the script on the symbol in the wall. As you can see in the record the phase has been changed to Existing but the appearance still shows as New.

Now if I change the Object Criteria in the Data Visualization or close and reopen the drawing the symbol in wall will appear correctly. I have set my graphic settings up and down with no change. PIO object change fine, I only have this issue with symbols in wall and the issue is not isolated to the script. If I change the phase manually I have the same issue.

I made this script to apply a record to items selected. The goal is the following:

If object in wall is selected add and change record to the object in the wall only. (works as designed)

#set global variable

Using part of twk's script I have tried to create a script that will sort sheet layers and their objects classes.

The goal is to have all objects in the sheet layer in the following classes

Borders, Veiwports, Groups and other objects on sheet layer = 'SheetClass'

Viewport Annotations including components of groups with in the annotations = 'Annotations'

Drawing Label = 'Drawing Labels'

Everything works accept the components of groups within the annotations of a Viewport.

Any suggestions?

Any resolution to this issue?

Thanks, I tried it but I get stake objects placed not a "PrintLocus" symbol. Am I doing something wrong, do I need to the symbol prior to running the script?

I think the '3 lines' The Hamma is referring to are the 3 axes of the 3D locus itself (see image attached), rather than a display error.

There are workarounds for sure, but it would be an excellent feature if the displayed point size could be adjusted. At present it appears to be fixed at 1 pixel per point regardless of the zoom. If a free program like CouldCompare can implement point size adjustment, then I'd assume it's well within the capability of Vectorworks programmers to introduce something similar. If we get enough support for it on this thread perhaps it will make the shortlist for VW 2021!

You are correct and well said!

This is better but slower than working with the point cloud. Just need a way to make the points larger scale when zoomed in. They are so small when close they are almost invisible. The 3d loci are distracting because they have 3 lines for each loci.

Has this been resolved. I am having the same problem

Often times I run a command and vectorworks takes an exorbitant amount of time to compute. This time I was trying to convert an exterior elevation to lines. It has been running for about an hour now with no progress.

There needs to be a way to quit commands without loosing your work. Or just fix vectorworks so it doesn't take so long. I am sure if it used 100% of the CPU's it would be much quicker.

When using the move tool to create duplicates is great but often I forget that I have set the copy to on and increased the number of duplicates. It would be nice if there was one button to reset it to 1 and turn of the duplicate option.

I wish that there was an option to make some objects that are hidden behind other objects to appear in rendered images even if the object it is behind is not transparent. See the attached image.

Could the "BeginFloor" command be replaced with a simple extrude?

If you ungroup the floor, it becomes a floor and a rectangle. At this time the floor can be rendered by setting the correct attributes.

Love the script but I do have a question. Do you know why the countertop does not have the correct texture in VW 2019
