After installing the latest Mac OS, Ventura v13.2, Vectorworks 2022 will not open. I get a message saying the program is damaged, and I should move it to trash. Apple is not aware of any issues with compatibility with VW 2022. I have already spent more than four hours in on-line chat and with an Apple upper-level tech support pseron on the phone. For various reasons, I had opted NOT to upgrade to 2023, but that seems to be the only version I can download from Vectorworks. I have tried importing my 2022 WV in from my Time machine backup, and it also says it has been damaged, and must be thrown away. What do I need to do to function again?

Dianna A, I find it much easier to select the Settings box near the top of the object info window, which allows you to address each area of settings individualy. You can also do this globally, by first selecting the "magic wand" tool, the selecting any door, then go to "settings", and the changes you make there will apply to all the doors in your drawing. If you then want to do somethign that will only affect the exterior doors, you can select them one at a time using the shift key, and then hit "settings" once all are selected.

Shortly after my original post on this subject, one of the engineers at Vectorworks helped me find this same fix. Since then I have used it in all versions successfully. I use a 1" tall threshold z-offset with no other parameters for interior doors to get the needed 1" space under the door for interior doors, and I use a 1 1/4" high z-offset for my 1 1/4" thick aluminum adjustable door sills for exterior doors, with the full threshold info filled out for the thresholds we typically use. The only remaining issue is that the drawing still shows the jamb and trim only coming down to the phantom threshold, not all the way to the floor. At least the schedules are now correct. I think VW still needs to fix this in their programming, and not expect us to continue to "work around".
