I don't recall hearing about this issue. Would you mind entering a bug for this? with steps to reproduce?

@JMR, OK. The solution is actually simple. I'm not an Energos expert so I needed to look into this. 🙂 In order for these values to be automatically calculated, you must use Space objects in the areas where the door and windows are and make sure the "Include in calculations" option is selected for the spaces. If you try this and still don't see the correct values, make sure the "Modified" option is deselected in the "Edit Building Element" dialog for the objects.

Hi @zoomer. This is a known bug (VB-197655). Probably the best way to find them is via worksheets using: =IF(ISFLIPPED(), 'FLIPPED', '-') Thank you for bringing this up! This looks like a regression from VW 2024 Update 1. Bug reported (VB-200844) I also noticed the wall lines / header lines are also incorrect when using one or unequal sidelights and reported that (VB-200856).

LOL! Right! All I can say is sometime next year. 😉

Thanks for checking and confirming this. As I mentioned in another thread, there were some clipping issues that likely arose with some reengineering of roofs but I believe those should be fixed for VW 2024 Update 3.

I do know there are some roof clipping issues that have been addressed for VW 2024 Update 3. However, I would recommend reporting these individual issues via bug submit of tech support to make sure they're looked at. BTW: The internal geometry of roofs and slabs have been reworked as an initial reengineering effort to (eventually) bring these objects more on par with walls. This is likely the cause for these issues.

Hey Tom, I'm not seeing a difference between VW 2023 and 2024. Can you attach a quick video of the difference in behavior? Also, If you're not using default content, can you attach a simple file with the wall and roof styles you're using?

This is not currently possible because the “wall lines” drawn by doors and windows are simple lines (another polys) so there is nothing to fill.

My apologies for chiming in late on this. This issue is a result of the changes made for door and window handing in Vectorworks 2024. I would recommend only the first workaround mentioned by @Jonathan Pickup where you swap the sizes for Leaf 1 and Leaf 2 in the Unequal Leaf pane of the setting dialog. I strongly discourage using the mirror tool to flip it in the wall because mirroring of inserted doors and windows should not be allowed. This mirroring of inserts is a known bug and, when fixed, may result in the insert "unflipping" on you later. I've entered a bug about the Hinge Side parameter not controlling the hinge side of Leaf 1 for unequal leaves (VB-200804).

@JMR, If you have a simple file with some test conditions (walls with doors and windows, project north angle setup) and can note what you expect (what and where the data should be), that would be enough. No need for a whole project file.

Can you send me a fairly small project file and explain how where and how you'd like to see this data (i.e.: Will it be stored in a user field of the Door and window or a separate record, etc.)?

OK, I got you file and will say that VW 2024 Update 2 does fix the disappearing components issue and the wall closure issue you're having in the lower wall seems to be an issue with the WinDoor object when it uses an "Opening" configuration. Replacing that with the standard US Door object should fix it. See video: ScreenFlow.mp4

Can you send me the vectorworks file via private message?

Ah! Juan's allowed to say that. I have to be more vague. 😉

Yes. This is fixed for Update 2. As for the release date, all I know is that it should be by the end of November.

@Sam_UK, Try this: Select the WinDoor objects, set the Insert setting at the top of the Object Info palette to "Wall - Centerline", keep the Offset set to zero, then adjust the O/S from Wall Face parameter as needed to get its location across the wall as needed.

Strange indeed! I admit, the existence of those windows was not known when the new handing features were designed. The reason the control was put here was to provide the same flexibility as in previous versions where they could be flipped any which way. It also made forward translating files more logical when files had them flipped to open out. Other reasons are that you never know every possible case out there and the in/out control keeps that configuration consistent with all of the other configurations.

I’ll just put this here 😉 https://unisonwindows.com/products/outswing-tilt-turn/ Yes, VERY unusual but there are some of them out there.

Yes. This issue has been resolved for VW 2024 Update 2 which is planned for release by the end of November.

For the US window, try selecting the "Clearstory" option:

No reason and I agree the icons could be clearer. I just submitted an enhancement request (VE-105241) for this.

This is as designed. The line of the icon is the component and the arrow points to the face (or centerline) for the insert location. As @line-weight noted, the data for the slab works the same way to indicate top or bottom.

Sorry for the delay. Thanks for the file! This actually looks to be a different issue than what I was thinking. I managed to narrow down where the geometry creating these holes is coming from but I'm not sure what causes this geometry to be created incorrectly. I submitted a bug (VB-200331) with your file so the engineers can sort it out.

Can you attach (or PM me) a file showing the issue? I believe this issue has been resolved for VW 2024 Update 2 but I'd like to test this file to make sure.

Maybe try opening the image file in an image editor, make sure the orientation is correct, save it, then re-import?
