If you want to edit in section mode you may want to use the Clip Cube

You can use the "Replace with Symbol" command from the modify > Convert drop down pallet after creating the new trees in the Resource Browser

As Jonathan described, Workgroup referencing is intended to reference a file that you are not going to touch, however if you have the urge to fiddle with the 3rd party's file you may want to have an intermediate file where you will import the 3rd party's file > fiddle with it and then reference it, but be aware of the "BUS"
If you just want to override their classes and their Layers (classes) are standard you could use the Standard Naming in the Document Settings and edit one of the users to your liking

Lets no forget the one that comes with Vw
I used it for quite some time, just had to remember to close the files when not working (lunch, brakes, phone, etc) Copy from the Log file, paste in a worksheet and pars through it.

For those in 2013 you can use a script in this thread

You may want to try Workgroup referencing
-
BTW issue has been fixed 2013 sp4
-
Select circle tool by radius > click on center > press tab > type your perimeter followed by /2/3.1416 > press enter
That should do it

Its a good practice that when drawing stairs, you should start by selecting the style for the intended use (either on Vw 2011 or newer) on v2011 you can create a style with broader boundaries and use it if your stair does not need to follow any code rules as mentioned before, otherwise select the appropriate code rule (always good to check the latest code ruling to match the intended style) on v2013 you have a checkbox to select whether you what to use min/max values or not.

This scrip will do the trick

You can create 2 window ID classes (Window>Spec 1 & Window>Spec 2)
Tag your bottom and right windows with one class and the other class for the other two sides. This will give you control through the classes on off.
for now!

Truck Space should be available to VSS US in a few weeks
Enjoy!

I see it as an issue, i'll report it and should be resolved by sp4.

Can you upload a working file from a prior version
-
zal,
My apologies if you felt alluded, I did say "many users" not "all users". Through the years I've seen this as a common mistake for large files size. I've also found that there is not one single package solution that will satisfy everybody's needs they all have its good and bad. VW is always working on improving, some issues take longer than others but they are on the ToDo list.
-
VW has listened
-
I've seen many users produce large files, usually they can be stream down by making symbols out of repetitive objects and use the parametric tool when ever possible

You can use your VW help and query "workgroup reference"
It will show you two ways of referencing, the "Design layer viewport" way is your best bet
-
This is how I have done it only adding two new classes to the VW class standard "Existing" and "Demo"
1.) Draw your existing Building in class "Existing" and corresponding layers (slabs, floors, roof)
2.) Select your Existing Objects> Duplicate > Group > re-class to "Demo" > send to back and lock
3.) Now you are ready to start clipping, deleting the existing and drawing the New in their corresponding classes in each layer
Sure you can add more classes to have more control but I have found that the simpler the easier to manage.

BTW I also do as DWorks

I took a drive through Revit forums and I'm very happy to be a Vectorworks user. lol

To convert 2d contours from shp files you can use this script
{ ///////// Convert Contour Polylines and polygons imported from a GIS ShapeFile to 3D Polys and set height from Record Elevation, assumes Record Field for height to called ELEV ///////
© 2012 Nemetschek Vectorworks. Distribute freely.
(*jcf*)
/////////////}
PROCEDURE GISContoursTo3DPolys; {main}
PROCEDURE my_polyline(H:HANDLE);
VAR
My_Poly: HANDLE;
BEGIN
My_Poly := ConvertTo3DPolys(H);
END;
PROCEDURE My_Height(H:HANDLE);
VAR
HT:REAL;
BEGIN
HT := Str2Num(GetRField(H,GetName(GetRecord(H,1)),'ELEV'));
HT := HT*12;
Move3DObj(H,0,0,HT);
END;
BEGIN
foreachobject(HUngroup,T=GROUP);
foreachobject(my_polyline,T in [POLYLINE,POLY]);
foreachobject(HUngroup,T=GROUP);
foreachobject(My_Height,T=POLY3D);
END;
Run (GISContoursTo3DPolys) ;
Two questions.

For your 2nd question
I will assume what you are looking for is a half size set 11x17(45%)
Printing 36x24 sheets on 11x17 paper
If you are on a Mac when you select print select the tab for paper handling and check Fit to Page
If you are no Windows when you select print select properties > effects and select print to fit
Hope it helps
