  1. Yes I have an english version. That is what I imagined after not finding how to change it. Thanks !
  2. Hello, Is there a way to change the column title of the color summary ? I need Color Size Count to be in another language. I changed the some names in the spotlight preferences, but it has no effect on this.
  3. Thanks, I did this process with my file, but it came back. Your script worked, and so far it is solved. I will try this method on my template if it comes back, thanks for your help.
  4. I started with my own template made from scratch with the 2023 version. It happened I think after updating an instrument summary. (The old version, I can't make the new inventory to show properly the count left...) Thanks
  5. Any idea why I get a perspective crop on vectorworks 2024. Since I started using vectorworks in 2021, I never activated this feature, and never used legacy features. I used this script to turn it off
  6. Thanks for investigating. I guess it is a bug with Windows. Both my desktop and laptop installations do not activate the mode #4 group with key assigned to P in the Workspace editor.
  7. It is unavailable as a shortcut. But I can enter a valur if I click the number with the mouse. If I press shortcut key for mode #3, I get the dialog box where I can enter the distance. But I used to be able to enter the distance directly with mode #4. Just wondering if it is a 2024 issue, or I should repair my installation... Thanks
  8. The mode group #4 is not working for me in 2024. With Offset Tool, I used this mode to renter offset distance directly. I tried changing the shortcut and also revert to stock workspace, but no lick. Any clues ?
  9. I just realize that you can double click the sheet layer name or design layer name to make it active
  10. Hello @Dave Donley, I had the error message this morning. I was working on a venue file that is referenced in my working set design file. I changed color of revit wall and slab entities and when reloading the reference I clicked on replace. It took me a while to figure out why the all the Redshift viewports did not render anymore. The shaded ones would render spotlight but nothing with Redshift. I finally referenced the file in a previous version of the file now choosing cancel and Redshift was fine. I ended up importing a new light instrument and replaced all record format to fix my file and render with Redshift. So It does make a difference if using Redshift. Thanks Simon
  11. I recently received a big DWG venue file (20mb). It was taking 20 minutes to import in VW, and once saved made 165mb If I open it with pcon-planner (free software I use as a sketchup viewer) it takes 10 seconds to load and saves as 18mb. Of course I lose block information and everything is meshed. It can also export USD file. When importing USD in VW, it takes 2 minutes (12mb). So far the fastest way to reference a big dwg for me
  12. I am trying to incorporate Cloud Services in my workflow. I have a few questions: When generating a pdf from the cloud, Redshift viewports are not rendering. Any time frame when this will be available ? I don't want to generate all sheets in my file, some are left for template use, any way to select sheets to be generated in the pdf ? I have reference files, they are not included when generating 3d wgx, is this normal ? Thanks
  13. I ended up upgrading to the latest driver since I am also using the 3dc keyboard and numpad, and they would not work without it. But before I downgrade to version 10.7.4 and was able to record a macro for Ctrl-MMB to use the flyover tool maped to the Gesture button for one button flyover. But this macro cannot be recorded in the latest driver macro recorder. So with the new driver I had to modify the xml Vectorworks file (with @Jesse Cogswell method) And I added the macro to the xml file <MacroEntry> <ID>FLY-MACRO</ID> <KeyStroke> <Modifiers> <Modifier>Control</Modifier> </Modifiers> <MouseButton>Middle</MouseButton> </KeyStroke> </MacroEntry>
  14. @Jesse Cogswell Thanks for sharing your profile. Importing doesn't work (I am on version 10.8.11.3519, maybe the reason) but I am copying most of your settings ! Simon
  15. Great tips @Jesse Cogswell. Would you mind sharing your 3DC profile ? Thanks Simon
  16. I am using multiples workspaces when I use my laptop. One for the laptop alone, and another for when I am using an external monitor. I have to remember to close vector works before disconnecting the monitor, and when modifying the workspace, I need to do it twice for the two I am using.
  17. Thanks @line-weight. I confirm that profile line is not showing in 2023 SP2. Here is a 2022 file with profile line, when opening in 2023 and update the viewport, the profile line disappear. I understand now why I was so confused, the feature just does not work and did not tried in 2022. Is there a way to check if a bug has been filed ? 2022-12-21-HORIZONTAL-SECTION_v2022.vwx
  18. Thanks all for your feedback. @Matt Panzer Of course in an architectural horizontal section, no point in having a section line for every object. But in the case of theatre or film set design, I would like to control having a profile section line for all or for each type of object and keeping the objects graphic attributes, that I can use depending on the scale of the detail. I am trying to stop using 2d graphics in symbols or auto-hybrid, since I find that changing the 3d and the 2d makes modifications laborious. @line-weight Thanks for you suggestion, but if I understand correctly, with this method the object below the cut plane use the same line thickness that the cut plane, and I would like to have control of both. Here is and updated file. 2022-12-19-HORIZONTAL-SECTION.vwx 2022-12-19-HORIZONTAL-SECTION.pdf
  19. Thanks Matt, I have tried that and could not make profile line to show thicker. In this updated file, I have made 2 symbols, one is structural (FLAT-B), the FLAT-A is not. In detail #3, I have checked Add profile line, but both show the same. Any clues ? 2022-12-18-HORIZONTAL-SECTION.vwx
  20. Thanks for the advice, I will stop searching and follow this route
  21. Yes, I am aware. I made a really simple example but since I am designing theatre set, not all objects I create can be a wall or a slab. Or can a sweep or any solid be a wall ? Thanks
  22. I am trying to control section profile line thickness and keeping the object's fill. Only way I find is to make a viewport which doesn't have extend beyond (below) with a class line thickness on top of a viewport with extend and object's fill. Any simpler way to achieve this ? 2022-12-17-HORIZONTAL-SECTION.vwx 2022-12-17-HORIZONTAL-SECTION.pdf
