Alternatively you can do it in the 'Advanced calculated field' pane using this: #WS_SUBSTRING('CC_Cabling'.'Cable Types', '_', 3)#

Try this: =SUBSTRING('CC_Cabling'.'Cable Types', '_', 3)

Not in the 'Formula' pane.

Can't you just open the file in VW2026 + save it as a VW2026 file? If you then save the file in your Favorites you'll be able to transfer it to your new user folder using the Migration Manager next time you upgrade version.

Sounds like a great idea to me. Even if you're totally familiar with Texture Tool I think it would be beneficial (speed things up) being able to access it whilst scrutinising the object.

I left it for 30-60 secs I think. It didn't seem to change any more after that.

Tested the smaller file (my results in bold): Opened v2026: 6GB 3.9GB 4.9GB Opened the above file: 8GB 5.2GB 7.7GB Updated all viewports (x36): 8.75GB 7.8GB 9.36GB Updated all viewports (x36): 8.75GB 8.8GB 9.54GB Not sure why my VP values are the highest out of all of us...?

Surely in the 'Formula' pane the syntax is exactly the same as a worksheet? It is only in the 'Advanced Calculated Field' pane that you need to use #WS_#

Yes. You can write worksheet formulas direct in the 'Formula' pane.

Thanks for clarifying when the Texture Tool was introduced thought it was later than that! Good news that @homero should have access to it.

I don't see the perimeter option. Like I say, Perimeter mapping was removed in VW2022. But I don't remember seeing the Part option for Extrudes in VW2021 or VW2020 so that might have been removed even earlier...? Is upgrading to VW2024 (or later) an option for you?

Presumably this is the reason...? You need the projection to be Orthogonal.

They removed Perimeter mapping in perhaps VW2022...? But brought it back in VW2026 - although testing it now it doesn't bring up the options in your screenshot:

It's to do with your Detail Levels. You have 'Auto Display Detail Levels' toggled on + that results in your Door leaves displaying with no glass as that's what happens at Low Detail. This is the button in the Quick Prefs: Turn it off + the glass will display:

Then you have a way to do it in one case but not the other. Hopefully someone else has a bright idea. Or perhaps you just need to Ungroup all your Roofs to turn them into Roof Faces... What I don't understand is why I can't send the #ROOFPITCH# value to a field of a Record Format attached to the Roof as I can with other parameters. Because once the value was in a Record Format I could then bring it back in again + use it in a worksheet formula. Do you know @msharon...? I mean something like this:
