    Best practices for responsive files and small files sizes?

    in Entertainment

    Posted · Edited by MarcelP102

    Small file size? Well.. Don't use textures/ materials. It's as 'simple' as that. In general each texture from the VW library will increase your file at least by 2mb... Unbelievable. VW should really improve this. There are modern image files format like WebM (https://www.webmproject.org) that can reduce this size without losing quality. But for some reason the VW developers don't  integrate this technique. 

     

    This could in potential also reduce the size of saved viewport images.

    Selecting spaces in VW 2023

    @FBernardoThanks for reaching out to the engineer. Can you ask him to make a movie? It seems we need to change our workflow. But if no one shows you how to use the tool it's a bit hard...

     

    Why don't they make a more in depth movie when they introduce or change functionality? This would save so much trail and error time.

    Let the Reshape Tool edit Associated Object when selecting a Data Tag

    in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests

    A button to select the associated object is nice. But I really need to jump directly into reshape mode. I don't want to click multiple times. So that's why I purpose to reshape the associated object when selecting a data tag and pressing the reshape tool. 

     

    This can indeed work to edit a space. But this can also work for other objects like a data tag of a wall or floor etc.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't use the data tag that much, when you press the reshape tool when selecting a data tag nothing happens. The reshape tool gets activated but you can not reshape the data tag.  Why don't make it so that the reshape tool gets activated for the object associated with the data tag? This can be a space, but also a wall or window or whatever. 

     

    So bringing back the reshape possibility when selecting the space label (like VW 2022 and below). And also improving the workflow for other objects.

    Idea 2

    And please make it so that when we input the value in the pop-up of the data tag that this info gets changed in the assosiated space

    Can anyone make an enhancement request? I can only do this with my local reseller and I'm not really convinced that this request will make it to VW USA.

     

    VW 2023 Space Tool

    in General Discussion

    Space tool had a major downgrade in 2023. There are multiple topics on the forum already complaining about the tool. 

     

    The fact you cannot edit the field when double click the tag is a lost opportunity.. would eliminate a lot of time searching for the fields in the OIP.

     

    My major complain is that there is no easy way to reshape the space contour when clicking on the label. Often we hide the space lines so we cannot select those and have to click on the label to enter reshape. This only works with VW2022 or lower. It's so frustrating that we decided not to upgrade to VW2023 for now.

     

    Revit gives the spaces a invincible cross that highlights when you move your mouse cursor above it. So you can select the space and reshape it. This could also work for Vectorworks.

     

    @Matt Panzer will the space tool get any improvements with a SP? Since there is a lot of workflow issues with the 'improved' tool. See multiple topics on the forum.
