Looks like Day of the Tentacle remastered, somehow :-D

Hi, one of my colleagues had to look for a brick texture online, I thought he probalbly could create it with the AI Visualizer... My first attempts completely failed... Nano Banana did it better (but not seemless) ;-) next try is searching for some advice at chatgpt :-D WHY??? WHY

I want that sim city plugin for Vectorworks, too! :-)

or the DataManager does that concatonating job, however I still will need a record format field for the concatenated data... 🙂

Hi, I'm working on data-vizualizations of combinated data. We want to visualize all plasterboard wall types including their: 1) wall types (from 1.x to 5.5 to ...) 2) fire resistance 3) sound proofing 4) other data Actually my colleagues wrote all that values in one record format field, which in means of the rules I learned how to manage relational databases, records feels wrong. However, if I use separated record format fields, I am not able to create a combinated data-vizualization, or at least I don't know how. I'm able to concat more record format fields in a worksheet. However I am not able to do that in a data viz. Sth like "Make a dataviz from (Concat('Wall-Data'.'WallType';'-';'Wall-Data'.'fireresistance';'-';'Wall-Data'.'sound-proofing';'-';'Wall-Data'.'misc')) Guess, I gotta do it vice versa. Write all that data into one records field and pick the wanted info with a substring, everytime I want to have it parsed....

Hi, I actually am trying to to create some studio standards. Now I'm working on hatches and wondered wether it could be possibly possible to work with only one hatch for every material type (like concrete, bricks,...) So I tried both world based and page based scaled hatches and remaind on world based hatches which generally work quite good. Unfortunately in 1:5 scaled viewports hatches are getting a little bit to big. So I tried to scale that hatches via advanced viewport options "hatch line scaling". Unfortunately that only does scale page based hatches, not world based hatches.... I can imagine why this happens but, it's not what I expedet it to be. If I want to scale all hatches inside a viewport, I would expect, that also world based hatches would be scaled but, they aren't scaled. is that OK that way or can this be an error inside Vectorworks? regards, Matteo hatch scale - page vs world_2.zip

Hi, we lately had the problem, that autosave didn't save any backups at a colleague's computer. The Computer is a MacBook Pro 16" M3 with 38 GB of Ram. Its running with macOS 15.5, Vectorworks 2025 Update 4.1 (now that update 5 finally has been released also in Germany, I'm downloading the update.) It's a server based project sharing project she's working in and the working file already been saved in the morning. She worked on but unfortunately now backup-file has been stored in the autosave folder. Could you eventually tell me some possible reasons for that behavior? I don't understand, why that happened. (I attach a screenshot from the vectorworks-preferences autosave settings) thank you, Matteo

My condolences also go to the family, also I still didn't have vivid contact to Raymond I remember his name several times in Jira and in the forum. Thank you Pat for letting us know!

I‘m not exactly sure how we solved that problem but I think to remember, that all other users sent their changes, the remaining user with that issue received all changes and wrote a new project file in the end. That’s more like a workaround but it helped.

yeah, thanks, I did it: top elevation: #ZTBBG##m_2_1# bottom elevation: #ZBBBG##m_2_1#

Hi, it's quite difficult to read out a slabs top edge and bottom edge heigt in order to create an automated floorplan elevation tag. As top height I tried #Slab#.#Height##m_2_1# as bottom height I tried #Slab#.#Height##m_2_1#/1000-#WS_WIDTH# somehow it works, but, it's not satisfying... a simple vwx file is attached as well... floorplan elevation.zip

I heard that logging into the containter-management-system on the nas and restarting the container would also force an update? Don't know, because I still didn't manage to do sth like this.

setting up a new macOS user can also be an option. Not an easy one but an effective one... Strange thing is however, that I wasn't able to reuse the old user folder from the "old" user...

... (deleting all VW Apps) mainly deleting all vw 2024 folders and reinstalling VW 2024 helped for the first start, after closing vw and reopening the project sharing server couldn't be found again.....
