For VW 3d geometries, my approach is to export vwx to COLLADA file (dae format). Then import dae file to an skp file. Sketch Up understands dae better than 3ds.

Hi Heblon, Does the 3D component of plants have to be real geometry? Or does IFC export work for image prop as well? I failed several times trying to export image prop plants as IFC files :(

Thanks very much Benson. Seems I can get it working now, loft tool is powerful.

Hi guys, Is there any methods to obtain an EAP with varying profile other than this option (shown below) in the info pallette?

It'll be great if 2D symbols can be used as custom drawing stamp 🙂

Is this function available in VW2022?

Very well suggested and thorough thinking! Many of these has been updated in the latest version. Now networking grade objects has been realised, can we manage to incorporate curved grade objects in 2022? This would be great help to site grading workflow.

Is there any chance that a drape surface can be used to modify the site model? Any suggestion on this path? From my using experience, surface sculpting tool under current VW version needs more flexibilty & accuracy improvement for better user control.

Thanks! I've tried your workaround. But it's still not working😅.

Hi guys, When I intend to attach custom record format to materials, VW tells me no record formats can be found in my file? Quite odd isn't it, anyone finding similar situation? My custom record formats shown in the resource library. Thanks in advance!

I'd like to point out one other thing for discussion on this thread. Once the stake objects are created in design layers, the scale of stake objects does not respond to any scale value change of the design layer. Further, stake objects does not respond to the scale of related sheet layer viewports. Our team consider this as inconsistent object behaviour compare to other objects in VW. P.S. Big thank you to everyone whose sharing their knowledge on this thread!😁

Thank you guys for contributing to this thread! Currently, our team is doing the same thing. Put stakes in the design layers. But I wonder why this problem occurs: the coordinates values only differs by 50~100-ish, not a huge difference.

Hi, I'm using stake tool as coordinates label for my drawing. However, the stake placed in viewport annotations (underlined in yellow) shows different values from the stake in design layer (underlined in red) for the same insertion point. The scales of stakes are different as well. Could someone point out what's the possible causes of this issue? Thanks in advance! My software is Vectorworks Designer 2021 on Windows 10.
