Copying the attributes of an object for a new one
HMichael replied to HMichael's question in Troubleshooting
Thanks for your responses! Unfortunately changing classes or editing my active class doesn't fix the problem - the issue expands across multiple files and classes. The eyedropper tool works fine, but I don't want to use it every time I draw a new object, this is very frustrating. I want to be able to draw a new shape instantly with the correct attributes... -
Hey hey If anyone could help me with this fast I would greatly appreciate it. I'm using Vectorworks 2023 on a Mac - let's say I want to draw a rectangle in the same color and filling as an existing rectangle. What I always did was holding down OPTION & CMD, click on the existing rectangle and Vectorworks copied the attributes so I could draw identical objects. Now, for some reason, it doesn't work. No matter what I do, it always draws Text, shapes, lines with the same attributes and I cannot change them beforehand. Even when not selecting any objects, I cannot change any attributes. I always have to to draw it first, then change it. Please, help. Thanks Michael

Hey guys We just upgraded to Vectorworks 2023 and when double clicking on a staircase it no longer opens the screen to edit its geometry. A lot of people in my bureau annoyed by this - is there some way to change it like it used to be? Thanks in advance Michael
-
Aha! Haven't upgraded to 2023 yet, that'll help a lot in of itself. Thanks Pat!

It's been almost 16 years, I assume there's a more efficient method of calculating the total length of polygons + single lines now? Anyone have a clue? Thanks! Michael

"Saving images in memory" causes 2-3 min lag every time
HMichael posted a question in Troubleshooting
Hey guys So this is the first time I've had this issue. I'm working on a large file at the moment and while scrolling or working it's pretty smooth, until I suddenly get an intense lag spike where I can't work for several minutes. In the bottom right corner it always says "Saving images in memory". I hope that makes sense as I translated it directly from Dutch. I figured my images used for my drawings we're too big, but I already decreased them in size significantly (1000px / 4mb each) which did not resolve the issue. Any ideas on why this happens? How I could fix this? This is the message that appears bottom right: Thanks in advance Michael -
@JuanP Ah interesting, didn't know that, thanks!
-
How will they convert it anyways? Is there a method to this myself?
-
Thanks, I'd like the file to remain private though, anyone I can send a PM to who is willing to convert it? Thanks a bunch.

Hey everyone, I received an old VWX file regarding a site I need for a project. I can't really see how old it is, but I assume about 10 years, which means I can't open it with my current 2020 / 2019 version. Is there a way to get around this? I have a student version and 2019 seems to be oldest version I can use. Any help would be amazing. Michael P.S. It's frustrating because I can actually see the drawings in the small icon of the file
-
So suddenly this happens to every line, shape, ... I draw and double click 🙄 Simply stopped ligning up for some reason

Hey guys, I've made a 3D model which I tried rendering using renderworks final. I noticed that when I zoom in and out of the visualisation, an outline shortly appears around the buildings, which I actually prefer esthetically. Is there a way I can manually add this outline in the final outcome? Thanks in advance Michael
-
@Boh Is there a fast way to do this? Or do I have to convert every single small building to a symbol and redraw its 2D polygon?
-
I created a simple polygon and extruded it. The fill colour is white, which I see in 3D, but not in 2D. I don't see a way to edit this, even when I double click on the extrusion, it shows the right colours, but once I look at it from top view, it's back to having no fill. Please help.

@mike m oz Any chance you could explain me how to create a custom symbol? 😁 If it's a big workaround you shouldn't bother though, it's crazy to me that programs like Vectorworks don't change this stuff emmediatly. These are the details that distinguish a mediocre program from a #1 on the market
