Is there a way to get viewports to wireframe render? I'm trying to model an existing structure. I've got dxf wire models representing scans from my Disto s910. I wish to measure and manipulate bim geometry in reference to those scans. Elevation Level Benchmarks attached to story levels seem to only appear in viewports. So how do I get my viewport to render wirefrane so I can dimension, view, and manipulate everything? Thanks, Rudy Beuc

The format of *.pat files is so similar to how VW hatches are defined, line, angle, pen up, pen down, displacement, ect, I'm taken back as how there is no direct import option. Thanks, Rudy Beuc

Over the years I've collected dozens of hatch patterned stored as *.pat files. Hoe do I import these into VectorWorks? Thanks, Rudy Beuc

I wish roofs could recognize stories and their levels. I've got an addition project where I have two different plate levels. It would be nice to have the roof object recognize those levels. Thanks, Rudy Beuc

And now, for some strange reason, it works as desired.... Thanks, Rudy Beuc

I think I've found a bug. Door Threshold exterior extension appears as desired in preview window but not in the model. In the model the extension appears to extend from the center of the door and not the edge. Thanks, Rudy Beuc 2024-03-20 15-26-02.mkv

Well, I guess I'll be waiting for update 4...

Ok, It's a sink base. Derived from the Merrilat Masterpiece plugin. How do I eliminate that top shelf? Thanks, Rudy Beuc

<<Another thing I do a lot is to copy a Section Line, delete it, then it paste in place. This gives me a duplicate unlinked version of the SL which I can do whatever I want with (e.g. move or scale the markers) without affecting either the VP or other instances of the SL. You can then use the 'Linked Viewport' parameter in the OIP to relink it to the VP which means it will take its sheet + drawing number from the VP + will update automatically if you change those details.>> Later this week I'm going to see if I can monkey with callbacks to get the results you're going for here... Thanks, Rudy Beuc

Ok, thanks to your suggestion guiding me, I got the desired results. But not in a manner I expected. You were right, but that dashed scope box with the section line had been throwing me for a loop. Being familiar with and migrating from another BIM software, I expected that scope box (displayed in plan in the illustrations below) to be a hard visual indication as to the what the extents of the viewport would be when updated. Having played with the line, annotations, and crop box, it works as desired now. I will now ignore that scope box... Thanks, Rudy Beuc The desired result...

Is there any way to decouple the length of a section line from the width of a section view? Had this functionality in a previous software... I'd like it to appear like this - Not like this... FYI, I got the desirable result shown above by manually drawing the line. That is not a method I really want to implement. Thanks, Rudy Beuc

I still want to use the default level in other places. That move would delete it totally from the project. Thanks, Rudy Beuc

But I want it gone entirely.... It is unchecked, but it won't go away... Thanks, Rudy Beuc

I mad a mistake and need to delete a level in my story system. How do I do that? Thanks, Rudy Beuc

I could live with a slow steady sync, just get it all and give me some feedback about progress. If I could organize it all in individual folders while on the jobsite, perhaps it could upload in digestible pieces. Right now the situation is untenable. Thanks, Rudy Beuc
