Hi Mikieluca, welcome to the forum. Can you provide more details? What's the name of the resource you used? I presume it's a Renderworks Texture.

AI integrated Rendering

We don't need AI for that. The construction industry is responsible for nearly 40% of CO₂ emissions historically. -
Duplicated contour line labels are a problem

can you upload a new example file? This one is missing for some reason. -

Great! -

Definitely due for modernisation. Roof lights are the only thing I didn't bother modelling on a recent project. Can't see them on the roadmap but maybe once this is sorted we'll see some movement on this: https://www.vectorworks.net/en-US/public-roadmap?url=roofslab-modernization -
@JuanP how are we looking for at least the tweaks in this original post being addressed?

Nice work. I'm guessing that's perfect for what he needs, but could a solid subtraction be used to produce these flat bits? -
Advice on modelling V-shaped structural supports with tapered legs
Christiaan replied to ryanesson's topic in Workflows
ah yes, that's much clearer now. I think it would still be pretty straightforward to create using a combination of tapered extrudes and solid subtractions but I'm very curious to see what our NURBS specialist comes up with. -

@ryanesson do you have any additional 2D drawings? Sections at different heights, elevations of different sides? Post everything you have. -
Advice on modelling V-shaped structural supports with tapered legs

First method I would probably go for is to draw a circle* to the circumference of the large end of the fork and use the Model > Tapered Extrude... command to extrude it to the desired length and angle. Then manoeuvre them into place, select all, and Model > Add Solids Though there are others much better at freeform modelling than me here and there may be much more sophisticated ways to achieve this. *or square if it's square, or whatever shape it is -
Ability to lock plan rotation

That's gotta be a speed record! Thanks Kyle! -

VW24 - Window shows wrong exterior hinge markers
Christiaan replied to bjoerka's topic in Architecture
Turns out I was wrong: https://unisonwindows.com/products/outswing-tilt-turn/ A US company called Unison makes outward opening Tilt Turn windows. Ruins the ability to leave them open in a venting position when it's raining but somebody makes them! Trust the Americans 😆 -
Site Model skirt not showing and Section Viewport not follow cut of site

Am I better of putting the site model in the same file as my building model and rotating it? -

Ha, yeah, thanks for the tips. In the mean time I will try to push for CMD-5 to work like the numeric pad zero key before 2035! -
VW2023 not opening while working in Europe
Christiaan replied to grodr's question in Troubleshooting
I would think it's unrelated to your location. I suggest reinstalling Vectorworks and if that doesn't help then contact support. -
This is really interesting. I've noticed that generating a new working file is often much quicker than syncing changes. It's a little convoluted compared to the sync button but I really like it; I particularly like the ritual of manually creating a backup at the end of the day and not leaving this to automation. This is how we're going to work from now on.

But then I can't use CMD-5 to get to Top/Plan, which is the beauty of this solution: -
We should have an option to "Automatically check out objects" full stop. I think I understand the rationale for restricting automatic check out to just the layer(s) that the objects you're currently checking out are on, but I never want to work in this way. When I'm checking out objects automatically I want automatic check out to check out any object I need going forward. I don't care what layer it's on. There is never a point that I think, oh, thank you VW for asking me if I wanted to check out this object because it's on a layer that I haven't checked anything out of yet.

Thanks Stephan, thats great. I agree with Tom, Rotated Top/Plan View is the more intuitive reference. "You can revert this in the Standard Views menu in the View Bar" could also be clearer I think by being more explicit: "You can revert this by activating Top/Plan View in the Standard Views menu in the View Bar" or just "You can revert this by activating Top/Plan View"
