@gester afaik IDS is more than an excel file, afaik ids is a set of specifications, rules, to check and guarantee that all agreed information is stored in your model. When I talk about IDS I more likely think about a set of rules which can be checked in vw in data visualizations and worksheets for example. But, I'm not sure actually....

@gester sure i can paste the original link: https://www.computerworks.ch/vectorworks-blog/details/open-bim-forum-wofuer-kann-man-das-ids-format-einsetzen.html

ah, and a bit more precision in the 3d handling would be great, but, that sounds more like a very subjective feeling general VW issue to me, somehow

sure I can tell you some ideas: 1) I actually am not able to join these both rails 2) it is not possible to extend the "diagonal" railing from the stair flight, in order to connect it to the horizontal one

I still am not that convinced, the work is not precise enough imo

Bildschirmaufnahme 2023-11-22 um 16.56.27.mp4 i actually can't send you the model that'x a video with a simple handrail-modelling attempt, works better than i thought

not sure, but there seems to be a significant improvement from sp1 to sp2, could i be right?

well, until now i haven't been able to make it working, otherwise I wouldn't ask a question like that. I will try again, asap today 🙂

well, yes, I TRIED 😉

afaik, the new railing tool only works with PIO stairs. Sometimes the stair-plugin isn't flexible enough, so I model stairs by myself, however I can't align the new railing to non PIO-stairs. that's a pity, what do you think?

@gester and of course BSDD should be implemented as well for an integral workflow sth like a BSDD -interface for the datamanager

i don't have a clue and I am eager to know myself, when there will be first infos. In fact, I can imagine, that IDS could be a great tool for information handling in OpenBIM projects. I think, there will come sth in the future, but I actually don't know. here have already been presentations about that topic ;-)

Hi, since it's possible to check out single objects in VW Project Sharing, it can happen, that more than one users want to check out/modify the same object. Now, we can write an email but, it's not always that easy, to describe "which object" someone is talking about. A system to REQUEST an object would be great (and neccessary) for a fluent Project Sharing workflow) Sending a screenshot, sending a mail, asking the other person to look on my screen,... is of course possible, but a bit to complicated, somehow...

A great feature from vectorworks are worksheets with database-rows. However sometimes database-collums could be an interesting tool, as well. What do you think?

Hi, is there any possible way to read out the stylename from a wall in which I did insert a symbol? A WindowCW-Object does know, in which wall it is, how can I access that info for a symbol in a wall from a worksheet? any ideas?

ah ok, now the constraints work fine but, everytime I change sth in the space or the data tag the data tag tool adds antoher two lines with height and area to the stamp 😄 I will send the file to our local helpdesk ASAP... 😕

well, I tried to use the constrain-tools in Vectorworks first... you can access them from anywhere, of course, also outside a data tag layout

... inside the data tag instead constrains are visible! (in the US Version at least)

it's aligned left 🙂 however, there are now constrain-settings in my OIP for example (using VW architect)

which constrain type did you choose? I still do not manage to connect the right border of the rectangle to the text 😕

Hi, I want to create a datastamp with a rectangle around the text. is it possible to couple/connect the rectangle to the text field in order that the text field grows (or shrinks) in x direction, when the text field grows? (As you can see in the attached sketch)

I bet users won't be able to commit changes simultaneously 😉 however, it's going forward for sure

are there any plans for a rock solid project sharing server? Sth based on a database, mysql would be an idea? (just thinking about it) - but sending and committing simultaneously and MORE security in project sharing would be great, specially when projects are growing and there are more users in a project file... just thinking about it...

@Pat Stanford works in Vectorscript 😉

well, at least now I understand, what you ment 🙂 however, I'm sure @PatStanford does know, how it works
