Hi @BenjaminGuler i would be glad, if you could integrate other AI solutions for Vectorworks as well, like glyph for example 🙂

hm, could you send me/us a simple file in which I can reproduce your problems?

that of course works. I just thought that a simple "refresh datavizualization"-button would be a big timesaver.

actually it seems to me, that that function works better now in 2024, so a refresh isn't necessary in 2024 🙂

that exactly is the main part of my wish!

than it can't be "merged" of course. IMO "merging" would only make sense with 2D geometry which really affects the geometry of the WHOLE slab which would really meen that it affects the whole slab boundary Now I don't have to redraw the whole slab, I just need to "cut" (ctrl/cmd+x) all wanted modifiers and paste them in place inside the slab boundary and add their surface to the slab boundarie's geometry.

yes, that sounds good. and maybe I can select as well, that I always modify the whole slab, when I use the clip tool and I can chose to modify componets when I add or subtract some 2D or 3D geometry. sure, but not always. A slab full of modifiers, just because the whole slab has been modified x times is a mess. it's like in sheetlayer viewports and annotations somehow, unless you don't look inside you won't know... Maybe there should be an option to merge all modifiers which modify the whole slab into the slab boundary and delete them from the modifiers as well. I guess many people working with slabs don't know what they create when they modify a slab very often adding unwanted modifiers, somehow the slab tool itself makes you do that.

@marc wittwer @Viktor Frank @Marvin @Dimitri Sonnenberg what do you think?

yes, and the trim-tool is a really useful tool. Unfortunately it turns out as totally useless for slab editing. As a user you actually only have the choice of editing the boundary directly inside the slab object (maybe by copying and pasting geometry you have been drawing directly in 2D) or you can modify the slab using the reshape tool (which is a good tool as well but with another purpose).... Still not happy...

@StefanoT in my opinion the space tool works much bettern in that terms. There are no modifiers inside the space object, so there isn't any possibility of changing some modifiers instead of its boundaries...

during the design process of a building it happens a lot of times to modify objects. That of course includes also modifieng slabs. Therefor the clip tool does really good work because you can clip or add an area to slabs as well. Unfortunately, everytime you use the clip tool on a slab, there will be added an object to the slab modifiers which can turn out in a little mess of many modifiers in that slab. Sometimes a diligent colleague helps you out of this mess, when he deletes all modifiers and changes the slab boundary corresponding to the changes. But, is that really necessary? I mean, there should be the possibility inside the clip tool to modify the slab boundary and not add slab modifiers. I am afraid, that there might be some technical reasons for that issue, but, you never know...

Hi, is AI Rendering considered to be a Serviceselect-Service or will there come a moment, when people will have to buy credits for more AI-rendertime?

whenever I go on "https://developer.vectorworks.net/index.php/Python" I get the following result: (tried on chrome, firefox, safari and brave)

Hi, what do you think or know about any AI projects which can be used in Vectorworks or in a workflow using Vectorworks, online in dwg or ifc format files for example. I don’t want to talk about AI rendering solutions or ChatGPT for generating faulty Vectorscript code. I think about solutions which help in iterating processes, for example dimensioning plans more efficiently, filling polygon objects with generating floor plans, error checking of floor plans or models,… do you already use any of these solutions? Did you apply for a test or did you at least hear about an AI which will offer a solution for Vectorworks soon, too? I am curious. :-)
