Just a comment.. all this fiddling is really non-mac like. I can only speak for myself, as I do have decent technical abilities. Downloading an installer, and keeping the incremental updates, can be very helpful for customizing an installation to deal with bugs that inevitably occur on either the OS side or the VW side. ex> Maybe I'd want to do an installation of VW on a new machine that would be then updated to something less than the most recent version.. the new system makes this type of thing more of a pain.

Thanks @Tim Ardoin, very easy solution.

Question still remains.. is there a .dmg available to download? I do have some (limited) command line abilities, but would like to download a dmg for easy re-installs if necessary later.

Thanks Pat.

I assume that layer and class visibility cannot be changed in the viewer.. can anyone weigh in to confirm?

Hi All, Just checking in to see if anyone is using the Sequoia Beta as their daily driver.. and if so, which one.. Public, Developer, 15.1 with Apple Intelligence?.. curious about VW usability, stability etc.

I'm getting serious lags on 14.6, on a very simple residential remodel file where I'm testing some different roof intersections. Simple geometry.

In my experience.. VW has been stable on (developer beta 4) (by my fairly limited testing) with a medium size file consisting of a residential remodel including a site model, and a number of worksheets.. HOWEVER.. Sequoia itself kernel panics on sleep, forcing a restart.. so it's not usable for me yet.

FYI, I've had the same experience, certain surfaces that should render as white, render as black.. I'll let the forum know if I come up with a solution or contact support.

@Tom W. is correct... Vectorworks MUST be closed in order to run the repair function.

Just FYI, the update installer is a separate program in the same folder as VW. That app "Vectorworks 2024 Updater" also has a repair function which you could try running before updating. The repair function is under "advanced options".

curious.. are you moving to a different CAD/BIM package?

I recently used graphic legends developing a kitchen project... worked very well for what I was looking for, the layout took a bit of fiddling and it's hard to eliminate unnecessary white space as seen below the vertical size of each cell is keyed to the cabinet that's' tallest... and the layout for the others isn't ideal. Does anyone know a workaround? But I'm really liking the convenience..

Thanks for the feedback, I was a user of C4D in the past, and yes, it's really not justifiable for what I'm doing now. I'm currently exploring TwinMotion.
