From R&D: This has been fixed in the next Update 1, soon to be released. We introduced a new Create Multiple Viewports command in Vectorworks 2024 available for all Design Series modules (Architect, Landmark, Spotlight, and Design Suite).

[VWX24 crashed on Revit import]

@bjoerka I was able to replicate the crash in Vectorworks 2023 and 2024. It seems to be an issue with reading the Site Topology data. I have submitted this issue under  VB-199444 (Internal database).

 

In the meantime, I suggest you import the Site Topology data as Revit Entity instead of Site Model/Site Modifier. The information will be imported as a mesh-like object, and the import will be successful. I will let you know of any fixes.

Thanks

[Vectorworks 2024 Cabinets]

@taoist Nothing was done to the countertop tool for 2024, and the new cabinet does not have a countertop. We are planning a new countertop tool for 2025 that will be much more sophisticated and support any hole-cutting shape.

Most of this seems to be related to importing 2023 files. This is happening on multiple files and it's getting cumbersome to work in.

We have not been able to reproduce any of the items you described. However, it could be file-related. Could you send us via DM a file for testing? Thanks

[Shadowcatcher]

@Mat Caird Thank you for your report. I verified with our QA team that it is a bug in Vectorworks 2024. The issue was submitted under VB-198391 (internal database) and is currently scheduled to be fixed and released in Update 2 (November 2023).

[Problems downloading WV2024!!!]

@irogers 

The ".crdownload" file extension typically indicates that a file is being downloaded in Google Chrome but has not yet been completed. This might happen if a download is interrupted or if it's still in progress. Please ensure your internet connection is stable, or try downloading the file again if it was interrupted. Once the download is successful, the file should appear without the ".crdownload" extension in the destination folder.
