Customizing Cabinets in Vectorworks 2024
E|FA commented on Rob Nykolaishen's article in Knowledgebase
@Rob Nykolaishen Thank you for posting these workflow articles. -
Agree, but it's the cost of doing business. I tend to draw interior elevations late in the process, so fewer things are likely to change.
-
I use interior elevations only to deal with the interior finishes, etc, so I use a thick profile line and don't indicate anything beyond what you would see standing in the space. I handle anything outside of the space itself in the section drawings. Closed cabinets are outside of the profile line, bookshelves are part of the profile.

This is why I love this forum. You learn something new all the time. Thanks!

I have been manually tracing the outline as a crop object, and using the same polygon as an outline in annotations. I guess that's what I'll keep doing. Good idea. It will have to wait until my next project because I've already set up the elevations with the Interior Elevation Marker (which are now classed & hidden) Also, if you haven't voted already there's a Wishlist item:

Let us have section line instances on section viewports
E|FA replied to line-weight's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Agree 100%. I cross reference all of my sections & elevations, so section line instances would be extremely helpful. -
@Domas Any followup? What would the recommended Workflow be for interior elevations where there's a dropped ceiling that is lower than the overall height of the walls? How do I get a solid outline around the actual space?

Interior Elevation Markers from Sheet Layer

I attach a custom record for this purpose because I'll also have other object types that need to be tagged. My workflow is to build the existing conditions model, select all and attach the record and mark everything as "existing". I save a copy of this file for safety. I then go through and mark anything needed as "demo". It turns out that I don't need the "New" data attached because everything not already marked is new. I'm sure there are flaws with this system, but it works for me.

Great idea, especially with saved views with the classes adjusted as needed.

Where is the checkbox of "Show 3D Grid Axes" in VW24?

There's a wishlist request. Please vote: -
I believe setting the Master Snap Points of the appropriate wall components gives them "priority" while snapping. However, it does not turn off the other snap points. https://app-help.vectorworks.net/2024/eng/VW2024_Guide/Basic2/Snapping_to_an_object.htm?rhhlterm="master snap points"

VWU also has some good resources. Depending on your experience you could try: https://university.vectorworks.net/mod/overview/view.php?id=5795 https://university.vectorworks.net/mod/overview/view.php?id=5801

I hadn't noticed this was a Wishlist item, not a troubleshooting request. I voted.

I think you can leave the DTM in its own Layer and place all the modifiers in another Layer(s)and then update the SIte Model within the modifiers' OIP when you change or add any. That way you never have to make the DTM Layer active.

The system has changed since this thread was started. It is no longer possible to buy an upgradable license. If you buy a 2020 license from its current owner, you can use it for as long as your hardware allows but it can't be upgraded. VW is forcing all new customers to the subscription model if they want upgrades.
-
Unfortunately, you can no longer transfer Service Select when purchasing a VW license. Existing Service Select members are grandfathered in (for now?), but it is not transferable. If you purchase a license you can keep using it for as long as you want and you have a computer that will run it. The only way to get updates is with a subscription.

AI command interface for Vectorworks
E|FA replied to Christiaan's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
My first lecture started with "if you think you might want to do something else, try that first." I didn't. -
This is more a professional practice response than VW: I just let that line happen in the model and SLVP, and then make sure it shows correctly in the construction details (which I draw in 2D). For my purposes, it doesn't matter if that line appears in the overall section. For me, the section is a diagram that points to the details. I'm not concerned that a contractor will install finish flooring under the wall framing. You might have other requirements, but I've found it's a waste of time to try to make the model display perfectly in the Section Viewports.
