[2026 texture application Perimeter and Surface UV]

I little bit of follow up

 

In order to check if the issue is about my original 2026 installation, i installed again on a spare laptop (Which is also Mac OS 15.5).

 

base install, no preference or plugin changes - Blank (Metric). Same outcome - instant crash while changing texture map type.

Perimeter.vwx

 

the shape in an extruded rectangle

 

i have tried on a blank metric template to test if it is my template, but still get the same result

 

FYI to be more precise, i installed fresh with not migration.

 

[2026 texture application Perimeter and Surface UV]

Testing 2026 for our company rollout. i have come across a texturing issue.

 

Create and apply a texture, change the map type from Surface UV to Perimeter will cause an immediate crash

Perimeter to Surface UV the same

Plane to Surface UV or Perimeter the same

 

This happens with or without images used in the texture.

 

[menu command problem with object by criteria SET=TRUE]

I have been using a workaround to get object selection to work via menu commands. it still has an issue, that it will not run correctly when inside groups.

[Application Window - Please fix]

While testing 2024 for a company wide upgrade, I noticed it is now impossible to turn off the application window.

 

Please fix this so i can get my team updated.

 

More than 50% of my team turn it off because it makes it harder to work across multiple open documents and applications and blocks access to the desktop.

[USE APPLICATION WINDOW command?]

Why did you eliminate the USE APPLICATION WINDOW command?  Please put it back ASAP

i totally agree. the application window gets in the way of working across progams.

 

regarding the comment "The new View Bar and Mode Bar only exist on the application window so turning the "Use Application Window" setting OFF didn't have much sense anymore." it made sense in all previous versions of vectorworks. and works very well, simply copy what was done before.

 

 

[Drawing list from Worksheet]

Forget my last post,

 

I have got Spread sheet subrow scripting working.

Drawing boxes from worksheet data with text titles.

Splitting the result by a chosen number of boxes wide.

and the script is only a tiny bit of a monster.

 

Thank you again Marissa for your assistance.

 

I have attached the result in case anyone else needs a similar solution.

[Drawing list from Worksheet]

That is awesome, it works perfectly. I could work out how to get the rectangles drawing and add text names beneath.

 

I am now stuck. Wondering if you can suggest a next move. I need to be able to split the resulting rectangles into strips or a grid. one long line of boxes will not fit nicely on an A size page. I ran the script on an existing job and I ended up 105 rectangle in a line.

 

I am finding it hard to comprehend the way the lists are running through the nodes and how to manipulate them. Have you seen any examples of making a grid.

 

I have attached where i am so far. Help you see what i am trying to do.

Script.vwx

[Drawing list from Worksheet]

there are 2 nodes mentioned in this thread earlier "Get Subrow Count" and "Get Subrow Value".

 

they are not visible anywhere above and i would really love to get my hands on them if they exist please.

 

am example of how the plumb them in would be great too.

[Get values from database sub-row cell]

I am having a similar issue with Subrow entrys in a marionette script.

 

i have a worksheet which calculates surface sizes by adding and subtracting stuff and i would like to redraw the shapes as flat rectangle polys at the corrected sizes as a surface treatment legend.

 

the problem i have is I cannot work out the syntax for the node "Get Cell Values". what do i need to put into nSubrow to get a number out of nformula

 

My calculated cells are in rows 1.1, 1.2, 1.3....  etc

 

All i seam to be able to create is a poly the size of the sum total of the width and height columns. I have tried every combination i can think of in the nRow and nSubrow. entering anything into nSubrow seems to give a "0" result.

 

I have attached where i am with it. any assistance would be great.
