I just submitted it to the support team.

@JuanP @Pat Stanford I deleted all the TBBs from the document, even from the Resourse Manager. Still get the glitch. For some reason I originally did not get the glitch from wireframe plans, only from rendered sheet layers. After removing the TBBs I get the glitch from all attempts. Restarting 2022 or the Mac does not help in any way. Happens in both my personal VWs 2022 and in my work VWs 2022. Seems there is a connection with updating/resetting plugin objects. When I do not update them the file prints to PDF normally. Which plugin/? that is the question.

@JuanPThis issue persists with or without the TBB. It started again just now after I checked on the "Display Drawing Stamp" to print a couple of PDFs. Unchecking it does not make the issue go away, even when restarting the app. @BiplabI don't see how can I deliver a set of construction drawings in a couple of weeks. And how ca I explain this to my employer after I recommended him to buy Vectorworks.

And how exactly do you sell a license? I'm guessing you have to transfer ownership somehow so the new user sees his/her name in the splash screen, no? How? Who do I contact at NNA?

Get a subscription with Jonathan Pickup. Tons of videos and written lessons, and especially at starting and (very important) setting a drawing. There's lots of loose stuff online, but Jonathan has his lessons classified and up to date.

I have a Mac user electrical engineer friend who wants to know how would Vectorworks work for him. Is there an electrical "module" or similar?

Thanks for the feedback. We are not using Stories, but we are using stock walls that may be bound like that.

I am currently working on my work MacBP M1Pro 14" and it has OS12.6. My personal MacBP M1 13" (that's on 12.5.1) also has the problem with VWs 2023. I'll report on the User Folder swap.

Hello, I did the repair with the Updater and it was successful, but opening the 2022 file with 2023 still hangs on the same item: "Updating Plugin Objets..."

I didn't know about the Installer Repair, I'll check it out tomorrow. Thanks.

I sent the file's Dropbox link via PM. I am getting another issue with the file. Double clicking the Door Schedule with Images on Sheet A612, instantly crashes VWs 2022. Opening the Door Schedule in the Resource Manager make VWs 2022 hangs and eventually crashes it. That last issue is really scary. I am nearing an important milestone in the Construction Documents phase!! Any help is appreciated .

No sure how to "PM" something.

I just did that and it looks nice. That means I have an extra Wall Style, and I was afraid of getting two "A" walls... but it didn't happen. Nice, indeed.

In small projects I would make a Transparent hatched rectangle and place it upright against the wall. I now have a larger project with like 20 washrooms and not looking forward to doing all 80 walls like that. Would you use textured walls with a wainscot (ex: 7' high tiles in a 10' high wall)? The texture would need to have a texture with a surface hatch, no?

Trying to test 2023 by opening a 2022 drawing. Stays there for hours... "Step 4 of 11: Updating Plugin Objects"

Hello, I was able to fix the Schedule with the Custom Selection by overriding the IFC descriptions and the classes. Except for the Existing 6" Wall that I need to keep 2 diff classes because some walls are interio, but some are in the exterior (outside the building). If I change all to the same class I will have visibility issues. Someone has prob had this issue and solved it. Thanks, I appreciate it. One less thing to worry about.

I appreciate the response. I'll check that tomorrow and report.

I though not including the existing walls in it would simplify things for me; they are just going to be painted. The NIC wall at the end of the Schedule are partition walls that will be supplied by the Office System contractor; I just included them for the GCs reference. The very strange thing is that gypsum board walls have varying heights and yet the description in the Schedule appears perfectly as written in the Wall Style, but the same is the case with the generic walls, and yet I get the three dots in the style description, and cannot edit it. As to "How can two different Schedule entries direct me to the SAME Styled Wall in the Resource Manager???" I wish I could select all walls with the same style ("C", for instance) and replace them instead of trying to find the culprit wall one by one.

How can two different Schedule entries direct me to the SAME Styled Wall in the Resource Manager???

Me too, the stock classes for some walls are not very practical when doing a remodel. Anyway... why can't I edit the wall entry in the Schedule if they are all the same, same width, same components, only some of the height changes. It works with some walls, not others. I suspect the "Generic" ones are glitchy. Seems Ill have to duplicate a "good" wall and eliminate the components to make it "generic" (no hatch, as in a low wall or parapet).

So, is there a way in 2022 to exclude walls from the Wall Schedule worksheet? I am having problems with some of them refusing to let me edit their description. Since they are existing and N.I.C. I'd rather exclude them from the Schedule.

@JuanP Hello Juan, any progress on this? At first I thought the Title Block Border was to blame, but it seems that the anomaly affects only certain drawings, but not others, even when the the same TBB is present.

I prefer the Q key to jump btwn them.

Excellent Thanks!!

Okey... The gate I had converted into a styled door and then assigned it to a regular door as Symbol Geometry but I can't see how to give it a HWS. The custom leaf method... how can I add my gate elevation to the leaf set?
