@Tobias KernNo it's an automatic overview from example all the walls used in your plan. Or al the tree's, windows or other symbols. We call it a "renvooi" in dutch maybe it's called similar in German? You can look the latest design summit movies, there they show some examples.

Did you use the ungroup function first? They mentioned that in the video I think. Can't test now.

1000x this! Somehow I can't manage to use the dimension tool in a smart way, can't get it to associate with the object. So lot of manual adjustment.. Please give us a smart dimension tool as @jmendezsuggest. - Plus it would be nice if you can edit the object position by typing the number in the placed dimension. - Even better would be smart 'temporary' dimensions when selecting a object like wall or door etc. So you can see in a glance what the position is compared to other objects in the model. Ideally these dimension can be edited by typing in the temporary dimension field. aka, look at the competition, Revit does this the best IMHO

For anyone that can't or don't want to install VW2022, you can find the help file with the complete changelog here

Since vw2022 has been released the roadmap has been updated: https://www.vectorworks.net/en-US/public-roadmap

From what I read, directly talk with the GPU (metal/directX), multicore and VGM upgrades, it seems that VW 2022 will also be great for old PC's. I think that by upgrading from v2012 you will receive a gigantic performance improvement. The adjusted hardware requirements are more focused towards Redshift rendering, which is more GPU intensive. I guess we will find out when the 2022 (trail) gets released.

Free form modeling roofs and facades with layers (components). That's awesome! Only hope it's not overly complicated to setup. Interactive editing of stairs looks nice. I wish this workflow will also be introduced for window editing

Would be great if Vectorworks worked the same as Archicad. With Archicad each material / 'component' has a 'priority' that controls automatically the cut order. So a construction 'component' of a wall has a higher priority than the finish layer of a slab. This result that the construction layer automatically gets cut out of the floor finish. When you move the wall everything gets updated.

3th, any possibility to center the label?

@zoomer How fast where you? Haha #battleofthefanboys They talk about 'connection' to redshift. So no integration? Would love some more in depth info. But perhaps that's beside the point of a teaser. Also the link in the description is not working (https://www.vectorworks.net/2022) EDIT: also spotted some UI changes. Another attribute palette. Unreal Button, some new buttons in top bar (compared to the architecture version I use)

Check if this button is turned on

Try using shortcut 'T' wile hovering over an edge to force a temporary line. (Set Smart Point, Edge, or Vector Snap Lock) This is a little bit faster than waiting for the line. You can do this multiple times to activate multiple, even crossing, temporary lines. I'm using VW for 10 years but only recent discovered this function and using it all the time even since. Edit: This video gives a nice overview: https://youtu.be/8o0Tcq0Sl04

Would https://fitplot.it/vwplugins/mouldings.html be a better plugin to use for this work? Since it comes with a selectable library of profiles wich you can extend with your own profiles. Did anyone tried both plugins?

You can find it here: https://www.vectorworks.net/en-US/public-roadmap

Yes exactly, something like the roof fascia function like Revit has would be nice: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/revit-products/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2018/ENU/Revit-Model/files/GUID-AC61490D-F98E-481F-8779-FC14AF912E95-htm.html It automatically detects roof edges and moves when the roof sketch changes.

Only thing holding us back drawing our concept 3d's in VW instead of SU is the fact that it is not possible to give a single face of a model an unique texture/material. Using the bucket tool in SU is very quick compared to VW where we need to 'extract' the face first before being able to give it a different material. I see "Texturing Workflow Improvements" on the roadmap so I hope this workflow will be improved.

Already mentioned this bug some time ago to local reseller. Seems that the latest result of a filtered list can't be deleted. Hope they fix this soon.

Thanks for all your amazing work👍😁

@Jesse Cogswell That seems to work! After that action the script keeps working for a while but after some time the error returns. One thing I noticed when I use the command on a group I don't get the message that I have to select a symbol. Instead the script want to make the last selected symbol unique. I suspect this triggers the error. Another thing I noticed when you make a symbol unique and you try to make a symbol within that symbol unique it shows the name of the main symbol. Making a symbol unique containing spaces (with manual boundaries) flips the contour lines when the room names/labels are rotated. Offcourse I can make sure all the room labels aren't rotated so this wouldn't happen. But I thought I will let you know anyway. Before: After:

Perhaps you can look around some more. There is a lot of information available already. It's best for your object to make it with Marionette you can start to look at the Vectorworks YouTube page. Especially the playlist. Marionette Mondays playlist: Marionette tutorials playlist: Then there is the Marionette gallery: https://forum.vectorworks.net/index.php?/files/ And not to forget we have the Vectorworks University with loads of video's: https://university.vectorworks.net/course/index.php?mycourses=0&tagfilter[category]=35&tagfilter[type]=0&tagfilter[difficulty]=0&categorysort=default&mycourses=0&search=Marionette&langfilter[]=0#coursestab I advise you to check these places first next time you looking for information.

Great idea! I used this all the time in Revit. That really helped setting up high rise buildings. Would be great if VW had this. Perhaps move this topic to the wishlist section so we can vote?

I think I found a bug. In a project with a lot of symbols the pop-up shows the wrong name and also duplicate the wrong symbol. But somehow this won't happen with a new file.. So I can't really find the reason why this happens. Do you have the same bug? I tried to use an old version of the script (22-07-2021) and that one works on all projects. See screenshot: Thanks!

@Jesse Cogswell Thanks for the quick update, you make it look so easy 😄😉 I did some quick tests and it works perfectly. I've send you a PM. Attached is the Dutch translation of the script. For every fellow Dutchman: je moet de records vertalen door naar extra-insteek modules-beheer insteekmodules te gaan. In het tabblad 'insteekmodules van derden' kan je het script installeren en bewerken. Door op bewerken te klikken kan je de naam en teksten aanpassen. Nederlandse vertaling - Make Symbol Unique.txt

Haha Yeah Pat you are right. The functionality is there already. These are more QOL 'errors'. As I said before (in the other topic) I appreciate all the work Jesse has done so far. The outcome is already a script that will save everyone a lot of time. 🙂 @Jesse CogswellRight now I can only say Thank You! But if you leave a Paypal address I make sure my boss will do a donation for all the work you have done.

Take a look here Select File > Document Settings > Georeferencing ~ Angle to True North I think this method will not mess up your viewports. Give it a try and let us know.
