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?

@dtheory looking through your website you'll probably be happiest heading into twinmotion/lumion/enscape. They are all fast gpu style renderers and pretty easy to get used to. I would think the complexity of C4D or some other 3d modeling program+renderer will be too overwhelming for what you produce.
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.

Pardon me if this has been covered.. seems like the subject is in flux.
Anyone want to chime in with recommendations for a supplemental renderer for VW Designer.. anything from free on upward..
I'm a solo operation, so probably biased toward low cost and speedy renders.. (pick two.. cheap good or fast!).
Thanks all..

I'm familiar with Interiorcad.. I've been an owner, but can't really justify the purchase since they've raised prices.. I do design build, and cabinets are a part of what I do, but not the main thing, hence the need for estimating..

Thanks for the input and sample files, some good stuff to try, though, by way of a comment, seems like area of doors and drawer fronts, in categories by material would be a good ones to be available in the basic built-in criteria..

Hi All,
Is anyone aware of a worksheet criteria that would allow the extraction of square footage (or square inches, whatever) of cabinet doors and/or drawer fronts?
I can ballpark this with cabinet width and height, however, on this project, I have a significant number of "two sided" cabinets, and it would be convenient to extract the
square footage of those parts for estimating purposes, also possibly extract numbers for different door materials such as solid slab, shaker, or glassfront..
Thanks!

M1 Mac Studio. Not run into any major issues, there have been a couple of graphic glitches that resolve by restarting VW.

Mac Studio M1 Ultra 64Gb RAM 6:45.. substantial difference from @Don Seidel
An earlier test performed on VW2023 came in at 6:33
-
this is a good one.. should be very useful
-
been waiting for something like this for quite a while.. I design cabinets, but not often enough to justify the expense of Interiorcad.

@JuanP Is it anticipated that 2024 will come with some viewport styles premade?

Hi.. I've been a user for ages, and I have a number of old installer disc sets.. is there anything that can be done with these:
donate, give away etc, that would adhere to the licensing agreements?
Apologies if this has been asked before...
Vectorworks 2025 - no more full installer?

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.
