Does switching to a different application and then back or wheel zooming help? Can you consistently reproduce the issue?
Thanks, closing VW was only option 🙂 It was issue of my student. I could recreate situation: while using call out tool simply move course, without exiting tool, but I still could exit it, there were no issues for me. Probably it was random issue. I recommended to update autosave settings.

Hi,
using callout tool, floating data bar froze (sticked to coursor) and can not be escaped. Esc key does not work. XX does not work. Most of functions / tools are inactive. Any ideas how to get out from the situation? 😭
Unfortunately back-up copy is not very recent, but active document can not be saved....

VGX files shared via the VW Cloud seem to work fairly well but the graphics or pretty poor. Also, I have found that the navigation is a bit clunky too, it is easy for novices to get lost in the 3D space.
In contrary, I found it very easy 🙂 Use not only left mouse button, but also the right and of course scroll wheel to zoom.

Isn't this the reason Vectorworks Viewer exists?
May be 🙂 Using VGX exprot file is very easy to share with clients - just providing a link and it's easy to navigate. To use viewer software should be downloaded, right? 🙂

Exporting VGX to VW cloud and link to 3D model view works great! May be somebody knows how to make it that Site Model contours would be also visible if this is possible overall.
In SM settings they are set to be visible, but in the exported VGX 3D model they are not.

You're looking in the Premium Libraries. Try the Vectorworks Libraries.
THANK YOU! 🤣

Hi,
when I had educational VW version, I used landmark workspace and I was able to use 2D plants from visualization library.
Recently I purchased Landmark VW license and I can not find any such 2D plants. Library is refreshed. Should it be so?

Silly me 😄 How did I not notice....? 😄
I was just playing with realistic renderings in viewport and I could'nt get realistic sky, BECAUSE apparently by mistake I took viewcrop from orthagonal view.... It was not funny! 😄

Hi,
in a couple of VW documents I cannot find how to turn on to see horizon (land and sky) in 3D view. At the same time I have open onother vw file, horizon and sky are visible, pictures below. I searched for differences in the documents preferences, shaded options, even VW preferences, interactive preferences etc. which are of course not document specific as I am goind crazy....🤪 Help! 🙂 Where can I miss a check mark or something else...?

Hi, Retaining Edge Modifier is still a bit of a mistery. If you do not follow the excat steps you are messed up e.g. not pushing sent to surface in the settings while creating it BUT, sent to surface only after it's created... etc... - OK, knowing that it works fine. HOWEVER, why using sent to surface - fit the retaining edge command, terain is still slightly changed? I would expect it should follow (fit) the terain, not change it.
In the pictures below, pad is set to 400cm, retaining edge - sent to suface - fit retaining edge. In blue - proposed, green - existing.

@Pat Stanford Hi, could you advice how to set correctly?

It helped when SM was moved to another layer. In the same layer I had few site models, after I separated them to different layers issue was solved 🙂

I can not find a reason why in one document snapping to contour elevation mode stopped working, elevation is grabbed from pad elev. value next to modes. At the same time it perfectly works in another file. I can not find info in VW help. I can not find difference in Site model or site modifiers seetings between those two files. Over all snapping is on, grade limits placed. In the begining snapping worked. But once I entered pad. elev. next to modes - it stopped snapping elevation from contours. How to get that function back? 🙂 May be someone can help me here? 🙂

Hi,
I noticed that some plants are off when comparing their size on plan vs spread size in OIP. Usually this discrepancy is insignificant. But just recently uploaded a plant from VW library, no modifications done and it's way off... See picture below. I can not find a reason behind. May be someone has any insights on this discrepancy?
-
Deleting cache file didn't help. Uninstalling and re-installing helped. But now I am afraid to upload library 🙂
-
OK... 🙂 In the same file I hade another site model which did not create such issue in Lumion. So I compared all setting and issue was solved after I changed Crease Angle to Zero in Mesh smoothing

I have just the same issue after I updated VW to 2024. Have anyone know a reason?
-
This wish is till on a list.... why?.... 😭 In the world when efficacy is a key. Every additional little step, every fraction of a second accumulates into waisting of time.
Ok, let's take only one step converting into auto hybrid, but then it does not show all (see picture below). ALSO it adds more steps, because it does not allow quickly change something, tweak it a bit, push/pull somewhere. Why.... this limitation is not taking seriously yet?

Hi,
for walls I used style from Wall Curtain & Storefront styles. And youtube video below helped me to create glass roof.

Thanks a lot for very quick answer! Display preference setting was the thing 🙂 🙏

Hi,
I am not able to find the way how to see other layers (e.g. sketch plan) when editing site model contours. In training video site plan layer stays visible, layer is set to gray, it's not discussed further into details about it. I see other's screenshots - also visible. I set layers/classes visibility to visible or gray - no difference. I see my other layers before I enter contours editing as you can see in screenshots attached. Anyone can help? 🙂
I use VW 2023.

Hi,
I am using student version. When creating a folder in user library this message popped up. I'm not sure how to understand it. Does it mean that when I get professional version, my created user library folders and objects from student version will not be transferred to professional version? I hope this is not the case 🙂
-
Great! 😄 Thanks Tom! 🙂

Hi Christiaan
Here's what to do:
Create a 3D Locus somewhere away from the design.
Create a 3D only symbol from the 3D Locus.
Use Select Similar to select all the 3D Polygon symbols.
On the Object Info palette, click Replace.
Replace the 3D Polygon symbols with the 3D Locus symbol.
Modify > Convert to Group.
This will destroy the symbols and you will be left with 3D Loci. Each will have retained the Z value of its original symbol counterpart.
Hope that helps!
Hi, for me it worked up until I replaced 3D polygons symbols with 3D Locus symbol. Then Modify - Group - it created a big group, but not destroyed symbols. I am not sure if I missed something here? 🙂

Do I understand correctly? - design layer viewport - viewport on a design layer (DL)?
Is this really the right approach? - I created new empty DL and then viewport on it. Made it black and white. Then I created viewport on sheet layer using crop of that DL viewport. So then I can add annotation in color in sheet layer. 🤪
