I was wondering if there is a way to create a checkboxes in title block? Everything when we issue a drawing, we would normally check which department etc should receive a copy, ideally I would like to have a list of the departments which a checkbox which will give a little 'X' A quick screenshot to explain what I meant. Any help appreciated.

Thanks for this. I did suspect that was the case when too many object is trying to add to another list of many object was the issue. I manage to work around it taking a different route, but your suggestion is a great idea, thanks a lot!!

Hi all, hope someone could help me with this. I was making a marionette which creates a grille with variable of height, width, no. of columns & rows. For some reason once I created a row of rectangles of verticals and horizontals, then try to add the two lot together it created something I wasn't expected and I couldn't quite figure out why. Any help would be much appreciated. grille.vwx

We were asked to export floor plans for the lighting department so they can import with. At the moment we have about 30 odd sets, obviously the more streamline we can work the better. So it sounds like a 3ds file works well. Thank you so much !

Hi there I work as a set designer for Film and TV, I was asked at work recently to export some of the stage / set plans to a Grand MA2. Although png has worked well but I was wondering if there is a better way to export them. All is needed is the outline of the set and no lighting fixture is required as I don't work on lighting design. Many thanks regards

There are probably alternative or better method to do this, right off top of my mind is to extrude the surface, and subtract from it then extract the surface. Screen Recording 2021-03-15 at 10.43.03.mov

All USB-C / TB3 cable shares the same connector. The only visual difference between them are the symbol and the number 3 (for thunderbolt) Having said that, there is nothing stopping the cheap knock off putting the labels on pretending to be a TB3 / 4 cable .... I have been looking for a longer TB3 cable for my eGPU and a cheap-ish one I got has caused a lot of flicker and sadly I am falling back to the tiny short one blackmagic supplied.

Its more like when I am editing inside a single hybrid symbol. It works when you are editing a normal symbol but doesnt when it is a hybrid symbol.

is it possible to get the script to work within hybrid symbol as well? Many thanks, much appreciated

Hi Tim Many thanks, just as I thought ...

I was wondering if it is possible to set a default version of file to save? the issue is we have few people working in 2019 and some in 2020 and it would be handy if we could all save files in a version that we can all open and save. Without the need of say 2020 version to export. this issue arise as we are all freelancers with our own software license.

Honestly I have no idea that CorelDraw still exist..... Just had a look on their website they do offer mac version as well as free trial Depends on what is it you want to do, there are also alternative such as Affinity Designer (or Adobe) https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/designer/ So far I have no problem with VW on mac, (currently running a mac mini 6-core 64GB ram and blackmagic eGPU) and I work mostly in 3D Hope this helps.

I kinda wish it would automatic spell check as we type

I have been working with FBX mostly, but cinema4d does work well too.

Twinmotion works in macos, doesn't have plugin but it works as export from Vectorworks

@Dave Donley Thanks, that would be great. I think some form of project share ability with another Vectorworks Cloud Service account or the ability to allow someone to upload files to a sharing folder would be very useful.

I was wondering could anyone tells me how do I remove folders in Shared with me in the cloud service ? I have this Vectorworks Samples folder which has been there since I sign up, its nice and well to see what the cloud service could do etc, but I would like to declutter and clear out anything I no longer needed.

I was wondering if it is possible at the moment to get vectorworks cloud to sync with multiple user ? (Similar to what dropbox client does) I have been researching a lot about it, its either can not be done or I couldn't find where it saids how to. Primarily what we need is be able to share & update a couple of key library files where most user will simply reference from. So ideally the file should be able to sync across multiple user's local folder. Currently all the files from the project is stored on Google Drive, we could probably install backup and sync, then sync the whole folder. I think this is what we try to avoid but if there is no other option we might have to, and sadly we don't have any NAS either.. Many thanks

Not exactly a 3D symbol, but you can easily find 3D model in such as Sketchup Warehouse, and convert it to a 3D symbol afterward. https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search/?q=snooker table Alternatively they are not too difficult to model yourself. Hope this helps.

Alternative you could also use the wall recesses tool, that way your section would shows up accurate as well. https://app-help.vectorworks.net/2016/eng/VW2016_Guide/Walls/Creating_Wall_Recesses.htm

Glad you got it sorted.

@Jim Smith Yes it does work. Haven't test it much but from what I have tried it works perfectly. If you follow the instruction, and just place the 2 vsm file in the plug-ins folder it should comes up in workspace editor.

I had similar issue too, often it takes so long to create a viewport. Since I was in the middle of a project at the time I roll back to SP2 and it was working so much better.

@Danielle227 Glad you got it working.

Thanks a lot, will give it a go. hopefully it will works on 2020 as well.
