Allow finer control via "Viewport Styles"
Tom W. replied to line-weight's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Totally agree with this + one of the reasons I've not used VP styles as much as I thought I would. -
Numerical values are the same, but the graphics do not align
Tom W. replied to pdkwoodworks's question in Troubleshooting
If you change the precision to 1/64 are the dims of the rectangles still 20" + 4" on the tape measure + in the OIP? Other than that I think you'll need to post the file for us to look at. That's the only thing that occurs to me. -
Window appearance on plan (without a sill!)
Tom W. replied to Ioannis.K's question in Troubleshooting
Calling @Matt Panzer... 🙂 -
Absolutely. This is precisely what I was experiencing in VW2022. It was so slow I would always try wherever possible to make selections in the Resource Manager instead because it was ok there. I sought advice on the Forum + was informed that keeping all my resources in a single file would makes things faster, but also that changes were afoot + in the next version things would be better. So rather than spend the time consolidating dozens of files into one master file I sat tight + lo + behold, in VW2023 the problem had gone + it's been fine ever since. I have two textures files which are 1GB + 809MB in size, a Plant file which is 774MB, a symbols file which is 889MB plus numerous other 500MB+ files + it all works perfectly. I'm just saying that the problem you describe definitely did exist but for me at least it doesn't any more. I don't experience any issues whatsoever cramming my Favorites with as many files of whatever size I want. And I am very grateful to VW for that!

Do vote this up if you haven't already!: -
As above this is not my experience, at least since VW2023 or whenever it was. I have something like 75 Favorites files.
-
A few versions ago the Resource Selector performance for Favorites was terrible but I believe something was done under the hood about it + since then it's been perfect so I don't think there is any longer a performance advantage to using the Default library location over Favorites...?

I don't think the Fence Tool has changed from VW2024 to VW2025...? The current tool was introduced in VW2024 I believe. To send to surface retrospectively use the Gravity button in the Reshape Tool when in 3D view: Otherwise just draw the Fence + it will snap to the site model or 3D geometry (as specified by class in the 'Apply Send to Surface by Class' settings). I think the VW2024 Fence Tool is a million times better than the previous one. Don't know how it compares to the Aus one.

How to create an isometric detail / Isometric section view
Tom W. replied to gfyfe's topic in Architecture
When you create a VP with a Clip Cube active make sure that 'Display with clip cube' is enabled in the 'Create Viewport' dialog. Can you post some screenshots of the kind of thing you're trying to do? The other option in VW2025 that might be useful to you is object visibility control which allows you to make selected objects invisible (or make all objects apart from the selected one/s invisible) but if you are on VW2022 as per your signature this feature won't be available to you. -
Yes they are but it is done by changing the texture that's applied to the object. So you will need to create a Hatch Fill with the colour/s you want + apply it to a texture then select that texture in the Data Vis Display Criteria.

Numerical values are the same, but the graphics do not align
Tom W. replied to pdkwoodworks's question in Troubleshooting
If you go to File > Document Settings > Units... what is your precision setting? -
Unified View is on by default. I don't imagine many people work with it turned off these days. But the Legacy 2D settings are there if you do need it turned off. But that's why it asks 'Are you sure?'.

Tom W. replied to Ioannis.K's question in Troubleshooting
I'm not sure there is anything you can do about this as far as the Window settings are concerned. I use a Sill 90% of the time + when I don't I am inserting my own custom sill so am not facing this issue very often but I remember one time I did I ended up applying a Data Vis to the Walls underneath so they displayed with a solid white fill so it looked correct... What were the issues you were having with Sills that made you stop using them? -
how come some symbols show up in rotated plan when editing....how do I fix that?
Tom W. replied to grant_PD's question in Troubleshooting
Are you editing the symbol from the Resource Manager or from the drawing?
