Hi @girwin You can pick a wall end edit each part of it. Here i put Color.006 on the top of the wall

I see. I remember I tried something similar and ended up with naming them EB (top) and NB (bottom) to have it clear. Not standard compliant but works here (-:

haha (-: Iceland is wild with a not much standardization I guess you could make data tags that looks like the standards

Hi @Kazemester Im curious What do the numbers mean, is it top and bottom of opening? Maybe its possible to make a data-tag that displays what you want. - here is one that we use that display acoustical- , fire-rating and top and bottom of rough opening.

Yes thats my experience, I usually export FBX sometimes OBJ but overall FBX was less trouble Still have to try Datasmith

Not all tm builds behaved like that but most of the time it worked

My experience is that it is important to be organized when texturing the vw model. Some of the vw materials is good and don’t need any further tweaking. When I wanted to use some specific tm material it was enough to choose a distinct color for example pink and replace it inside tm. When later adding more pink objects they took the tm material on import. @Don Seidel

Hi Don@Don Seidel You don't have to start over. Your model is saved with weather, lights and all. If you do changes in VW, then export with the same location and filename, you can reload your file in TM, and the alterations update. Its easy to save views in TM and export a bunch of them in literally no time. Then drag the png's back in to VW for illustrations. I wanted a direct link and asked for it both in TM fora and here, but I don't see it as crucial anymore. In fact the Revit Link is so buggy that most users recommend the export / import method instead. You should give it at try.

Hi @MGilc Go to menu: Text / Size and change it to something suitable

I usually use extrude along path for situations like this. Easier to join the path than the tubes

Hi@Renaud I havent tried a NAS setup but when connecting to the server use " Open server based project file..." in the FILE menu. Your server should be visible there. Or you can save your current file as a server based file, navigating to the NAS. I remember to have seen some in detail instructions but can't find them at the moment

We use it here on a macmini with few problems. I have the impression it works well on NAS too https://app-help.vectorworks.net/2021/eng/index.htm#t=VW2021_Guide%2FProjectSharing%2FThe_Project_Sharing_Server.htm%23TOC_Installing_the_server_asbc-3&rhsearch=project sharing server&rhsyns= &rhtocid=_2_5_1_1

Hi Im not sure if this is helpful but I have also experienced touble with gradients and transparencies in PDFs. One solution to your grass and asphalt is to use opaque colors, just lighter, and only use transparencies for objects where you need to see through. It might be worth testing exporting to pdf instead of print to pdf to see if it gives better result, rasterise PDF in export dialog might also affect the result.

Hi Is Ceiling Main class visible?

Hi @Giulio Could you make a series of extrudes for the spacing and subtract them from the Subdivision? You would end up with a solid subtraction.

Hi If you turn on automatic, on the layer plane settings, the blue planes will apear

Hi If you want the materials to come through you should choose Create Structural and Nonstructural Groups Merges the structural objects’ cross section profiles into one group, and the non-structural objects’ cross section profile into another, allowing them to have a different class setting Separate Cross Sections Generates a separate cross section for each sectioned object test the different options here: https://app-help.vectorworks.net/2021/eng/index.htm#t=VW2021_Guide%2FViewports1%2FAdvanced_section_viewport_properties.htm&rhsearch=section&rhhlterm=section&rhsyns=

Interesting! @Kevin K Would you mind explaining what you did? Is it walls and roof faces and extract faces tool?

You need to use Renderworks to see reflections, and you need something to reflect, - some objects outside the window. it has been discussed here a lot maybe this tread can help:

Hi @Learning Vectorworks I bought this one when it was first available and added 16Gb ram. It was around half the price of our last iMac Pro and performe well both on vw and twinmotion.

Hi Check the stacking order of your layers https://app-help.vectorworks.net/2021/eng/index.htm#t=VW2021_Guide%2FStructure%2FChanging_the_design_layer_stacking_order.htm&rhsearch=stacking order&rhhlterm=stacking order&rhsyns=

Hi If it is 3d objects and you make sections viewports you can assign a linestyle and weight to the sections style. https://app-help.vectorworks.net/2021/eng/index.htm#t=VW2021_Guide%2FViewports1%2FAdvanced_section_viewport_properties.htm&rhsearch=section&rhhlterm=section&rhsyns=

It works here on MacOs Catalina. Maybe dowload games launcher and reinstall ?
