Yeah this is brutal. I accidentally included a couple sheet layers with renderings on them and now I wait.... I don't want to force-quit as I have other drawings open that may have unsaved changes.

I would really like to know what's in store for 2024. I hate buying the services select for 2 licences, not knowing if I will need or want the 2024 improvements.

Ok thank you for the reply. I guess what I was ultimately confused on was that you could keep getting updates, even though you're not on a subscription plan. I guess the most prudent move is to continue on with service select. The rate at which versions of VW become unsupported means not staying up to date ends up just costing you more later, without the benefits of the new features along the way....

I have VW 2023, and plan to use this for a couple years. Is it worth continuing on with service select, or should I let that expire? Now that VW is a subscription model, won't I automatically be on the subscription plan if I upgrade from 2023?

Not meaning to hijack this thread, but maybe some of the info here will help others. I have been in touch with Brendan, and he's been super generous in offering his help to get me going. The hold-up has been on my end as I've been far too busy to spend time on getting this up an running, and I've been putting him off. But the reality is not getting this set up will ensure I stay too busy to set it up. My machine is a Biesse Skill GFT1224. Right now I'm writing all the cabinet part files in Biesseworks, and nesting in Biessenest.

Haha, thanks. I need tons of advice. I love InteriorCAD, couldn't live without it. But I also find that it is not intuitive, or easy to figure out. My end goal is to be able to use it at a level to export fully modelled cabinets direct to my CNC. I am getting there slowly as I work through things like these hardware grids. I'll try that Discord link again soon and let you know if it's expired...

This is super helpful. I really need to get my discord account setup. I literally just submitted a ticket to Extragroup a few days ago asking for a tutorial on custom grids. They are not at all intuitive. Thank you @Blinkglitter

I don't know anything about discord, but I'll look into it and DM you me details soon. Thanks

Yes I would be interested. Keep me posted on any progress....

I finally heard back from Sven. It looks like I will be able to purchase the upgrade soon. I'll update again once it's finalized. Looking forward to trying out 2023...

And still no response.... Has anyone else been able to purchase InteriorCAD 2023?

I am having no luck in contacting Extragroup. I've emailed a couple times, and even submitted a ticket asking to upgrade to 2023. @Stephan Moenninghoff, who do I need to contact to purchase the upgrade? Thanks

@Benson Shaw, thank you for that video and explanation. I haven't tried this yet but will shortly, but I think you gave me everything I need to get my loft to work. @VIRTUALENVIRONS, what was not clear with my original request? I had two NURBS surfaces that I couldn't loft to make a solid. I needed more information, such as they need to be NURBS curves, not surfaces. That was probably the key bit I was doing wrong. I attached my file so anyone could open it to see what I was working with. Vectorworks is not very forthcoming with clues as to what's wrong when an operation fails. And I don't find the VW help very helpful.

I just can't get the loft to work. I tried again, and I don't have directions, but I do have "Normal". I adjusted those so the arrow pointed the same way, but still the loft doesn't work. I can't select my NURBS surfaces to create the loft.

Wondering if someone is able to create a loft surface between these 2 NURBS surfaces. Can you explain the steps needed to get this to work? I can't seem to get it. Thanks in advance for any help. loft surface question.vwx
