    is the Data Manager able to cause performance and stability problems in Vectorworks?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    For reallly big curiosity,

     

    we really love working with the Data Manager in VW. We really do code mappings inside the DM, which are a little bit more complicated.

     

    We still don't see wether the Datamanager could cause problems inisde Vectoworks.

    So my question:

    Is the Data Manager able to cause performance and stability problems in Vectorworks? And, in which "intensity"?

    What is your experience? Which technical background info can you tell me/us to that question?

     

    thank you!

    best regards.

    reset user folder by holding the option key after running VW

    in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests

    Posted

    I already mentioned it on Jira,

    all Adobe apps and also all Affinity apps do it.

    If you run the app and hold the "Alt"/"Option" key after clicking on the "Vectorworks" Icon I get an Options List, which asks me, which part of the user folder I want to have reset.

    The user folder is a big thing when there are problems in VW. And, it's a big thing for all helpdesk guys who support their users.

     

    So, why not make the step easier by enabling to reset the whole user folder or special parts, just with a shortcut?

    It would make a supporters life much easier.

    (the attached screenshot shows all affinity photo options after running Affinity Photo while holding the Alt key, just as an example)

    Request - major Project Sharing improvements

    in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests

    actually we're using a qnap system, we recently switched to.

     

    some colleagues still did have reliability problems. Title blocks and dimensions have been suddenly disappearing from one commit to another (VW 2021).

    We don't work in project sharing via VPN (we tried to but, acutally we don't, from the beginning I tried to make the teams work via dropbox, which worked quite ok)

     

    We use the project sharing server mainly to be safe from afp/smb issues, also the qnap storage fortunately only supports smb and newer mac operating systems (Big Sur, Monterey) seem to have a better smb-system working)

    However I honestly never really have been satisfied from project sharing. However how we are using it, there's always some lag, some data missing, some bug (in 2022 there has been a data-visualization/opacity problem which caused, that opacity from solid fillings hasn't been transmitted to the project file).

    There's missing some kind of quality assurance-system in project sharing. PS is cool but it always feels like a system which still can cause some unexpected problems, also in VW 2023.

    tool for floorplan instances

    in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests

    Posted

    in architecture floor plans are often individual, still more often it happens, that the same type of floor plan appears repeatingly in a building.

     

    1) An apartment building has 2-6 types of apartments, all with the same floor plan

    2) hotel rooms, single rooms in a hospital, motel, hostel...

    3) a highrise building, skyscraper has stories which appear more than once in the building (story 3-x generally are the same)

    However, there doesn't exist a coherent way for managing floorplan instances in VW.

    - Symbols could be the object of choice, however every object inside a symbol is cut from all vectorworks story settings, stamp objects work in the scale 1:1 and not the actual drawing scale...

    - referenced design layers don't work very well as well

    At all both options are workarounds but there doesn't exist a reliable stable solution.

     

    I frankly actually don't know how it could be, maybe the option that the content from a symbol is story sensitive could be a solution? That would solve a lot of questions?

     

    What do you think?

    1) a better server system, sth like bim cloud from archicad.

    - for a better quality of project sharing

    - for a better quality of cloud based project sharing, specially for users working from home!

     

    2) check-out for resources (specially symbols) very urgently needed.

    depends on the project of course, but due to the fact that it's very easy and simple to create symbols many users love working with symbols. When these users now start working with project sharing they got stuck quite quickly in collisions caused by symbols edited by more than one user. Of course, a better organization in the project could help, but, honestly, we are working on a computer in order that the computer provides tasks like that, tasks like checking out symbols and releasing them, checking out object styles...

    I can understand, that that's not possible because of problems with the undo list which project sharing is based upon. However, it's neccessary!

I hope You Guys Like this Video There are lots of things yet to explore in stable diffusion. Do let me know in the comment section below How should I make videos regarding Stable Diffusion.

    If you're up for following along with some video tutorials here are some good ones, as I believe Veras uses a custom built ControlNet ontop of stable diffusion:

    there's no control model view in my text2img section, why? 😉 , maybe i am using the wrong weight? or the wrong stavble diffusion version?

    Any SDK python gurus want to point us in the right direction?

    😄 that's more for SDK-guys, however, you won't get far without having access to an AI-platform like Veras. Creating the platform by yourself is a little bit more difficult...

     

    so, whoever wants to implement sth similar like veras needs a connection to 2th similar like veras

    than he needs to know, how to code the interface...

     

    doesn't sound that easy. Sounds more like a job for a big company and not for a single person...

    Project Sharing/dimesnsions missing after commit and refresh/reopen, suddenly all title blocks gone

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    some of my colleagues are still working in VW 2021 (the size of the project still keeps them from migrating to VW 2023) and have problems during the last week committing changes. Sometimes dimensions (in design layers) are missing after committing changes and reopening the server based project file.

    I still haven't been able to reproduce that issue.

     

    Suddenly from one moment to the other all title blocks have been gone, as well, so we needed to restore the project file from an existing one.

     

    a) has there been a significant change during the last 2 Versions (2022 and 2023?)

    b) is there a way to provoke missing dimensions again?

    c) what "mistakes" can be made, in order that suddenly dimensions and title blocks are missing in Vectorworks?

     

    (sorry for double posting, but, somehow the title from the original post hasn't been clear enough)

     

    thanks,

    Matteo

    dimensions missing after committing changes (Vectorworks 2021)

    Why must the path inside an extrude along path always be turned into a NURBS curve?

    in Troubleshooting

    Why must the path inside an extrude along path always be turned into a NURBS curve?

    Sure, the extrude could become a 3d-object and the path possibly isn't limited to a flat layer, but, what if? NURBS Curves are more complicated in handling than polygons or polylines.

     

    So, why am I forced to handle a NURBS-Curve inside a path extrude, when a polygon/polyline meets my requirements?

     

    Please place that whis immediately 🙂
