  1. Hi all, I'm trying to export some sheet layers as two different image types using the Publish command, but it's not doing what I want. I click Publish and add all the items I want to the right side. Publishing as 1 image type works fine, no problem there, but when I try to publish as both a PNG and a JPG it breaks. It exports both images as whatever type I set it to last. The reason I want two separate file types is because I want the image both with and without a background. I don't want to publish to PDF because the educational license drops a watermark on it and that's ugly in my presentation 😉 I also can't edit the PDF because it's password protected. I've started exporting manually now, but I really hope someone knows a faster way. Thanks! Viola.
  2. Not harsh at all, no worries! Secretely I prefer hand drawing anyway =P Thanks!
  3. (Un)fortunately uni wants me to use VW, so I'm trying to get the hang of it. I did the SU to VW course and got my VW certificate, but neither were all that helpful I feel. I do hope that VW will save me loads of time for the eventual presentation, as opposed to SU where I have to transfer to LayOut and then still do a whole bunch of stuff. Not giving up yet!
  4. That's what I did in the end! I was hoping to find a similar tool to what SU does in the picture. Thanks folks!
  5. I tried that and then everything changes size, not just my riser. I think maybe I just need a break and come back after lunch. Thank you for your help!
  6. Thanks! I looked at 'Scale Objects', but I don't see how I can do it quickly. There's only scale factors, which I'd need to calculate. The 'symmetric by distance' where I can measure it rescaled my entire project, not just the object. I really feel like I'm missing something obvious here 😅
  7. Hi folks, I've tried searching for this but I'm coming up empty. Maybe I'm just being dumb but I'm pulling my hair out at this point. Disclaimer: I come from SketchUp. I'm used to modeling in 3D, not drawing stuff and entering numbers and then praying I did it right xD Anyway, I have a 3D object I can't resize for the life of me. I grabbed some legs from the 3D Warehouse, imported them into VW and made a little riser thingy as seen in the picture. The legs and top are grouped together. I moved the door on the right and now I want to resize the riser to the new width. In SU I simply select the thing, hit S for scale and drag the handles of my choice. I can't find anything remotely like that in VW. As you can see in the OIP, it's empty. I've tried the Fixed Point Resize Tool but it does nothing (or maybe I'm using it wrong? I followed the video from the help but that was for 2D). At this point it would have been faster to just make a new one from scratch, but I can't believe I can't just quickly resize the thing (especially when I'm doing a mock-up and precision isn't all that needed). Thanks folks!
  8. Thanks everyone! It's fixed now 😃 I used a combination of what Zoomer and TomKen suggested (made an extra copy of the file to play around in). I need to keep on eye on Styles and Classes more in the future, they're still quite confusing. There's so many settings! I'm not entirely sure what overrides what in the end, but I'll get there. Thanks again!
  9. Thanks! I still need to manually select the windows I want to change, if I understand correctly. I was hoping there was a global 'find and replace', but it doesn't seem like there is. I do have Project Windows setup at least, so it's still a dropdown function pretty much. I mainly wanted to avoid having to manually find and replace the wrong ones. Thanks again!
  10. Hi folks, Is there a way to replace all Windows A in my entire project with Windows B? I also have Windows C that should remain unaffected. Basically, my brain blanked and I put the wrong windows in half my building 😅I was able to find Modify > Convert > Replace with Symbol but that only works on selected windows. I have 8 storeys I'd need to manually go through and was really hoping there's a better way. I've followed quite some tutorials by now but I have no recollection of seeing a function like this. This is the first big project I'm using VW for, so my workflow is also not ideal or fast yet. Mistakes will be a-plenty, haha. I'm using VW21 SP3 educational license in the Architect workspace. My windows are inserted with the Symbol Insertion Tool and show up as Exterior Joinery In Wall in the Object Info Pallet. Thanks and cheerio, Viola.
  11. It totally disappears! I tried pinnin and unpinning, it's not hiding behind other open windows either, it doesn't snap back to somewhere on the main monitor. It simply vanishes? The only thing that brings it back is unpluggin the second monitor, closing VW, plugging it back in, reopening VW and resetting the workspace to default. Then it appears as a bar that folds down when I hover. It's very strange to say the least.
  12. Hi all, my Resource Manager keeps disappearing. I would like to have it on my second monitor, but when I drag it over it disappears until I restart VW and reset the Workspace to default. This is really annoying. I found more people with the same problem, but no solution. I currently use ctrl+R on my main monitor to toggle it on and off, but I'd like it to just stay open on my second monitor so I have everything in view. I'm using VW 2021 on an educational license. Windows 10 PC with latest updates. One 4k monitor for the acutal work, and an HD one for (hopefully) the resource manager and notes and such. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheerio, Viola
