data tags- we have started using them in lieu of callouts and linking their info to annotations and takeoffs for cost estimating data tags are powerful and should have multiple uses/features adding a database of notes could be coordinated ??

I watched Sarah B's VW / BIM webinar today and now this question: How to use the data visualization attributes to reflect in a worksheet image cell- The image included shows the issue-

this sounds like Tony Kositsky, VW employee/landscape architect, should weigh in here

Gerard- in VW preferences, select good performance and compatibility and see if that solves the issue Thank you VW Tech Support for the help with this

Could you create a 3D polygon (profile) with a sloped base and horizontal top and sides and extrude it across the lower slab ? If the base changes you would adjust the profile as needed

Eric has a great list You can consider an 'initial' class so you can add a letter to to the center of a plant outline and help delineate plants

I played with the plant massing and am now trying to develop a workflow with them- This is a great resource and would like to hear how others are suing them in practice Thank you Tony for the recommendation Observations: The preset configuration allows for more than 100% plant coverage in a landscape area The file size gets big quickly If you ungroup the landscape area, you get the 2D graphics of each plant in the area, but the redraw tales time, and the plan results can be chaotic

We did not quickly upgrade to VW 2019 because the software is too young and the timing of the MacOS update- Anyone who does is clearly taking a risk - It is totally understandable that everyone wants to newest and best thinking VW has to offer - If a significant group of faithful users do not take the bait of a shiny new VW release and wait for at least SP2 release, I would assume VW would change their ways- they will see the metrics - We are enjoying VW 2019 for 2 months now and have yet to upgrade to Mojave- We upgraded to VW2019 because of many new features - data tags are the best thing ever-

Is there a way to make the massing model and then make it a symbol and when editing one they all edit ?

Thank you so much for following up I am glad there appears to be a reasonable solution and terrific support through the forum Great work ! and All the best

A few screen shots of before and after would be appreciated

VW 2019 has design layer and class folders/filters that makes navigation easier Simple and efficient file management has been the holy grail and there are many in the forum who can point you in the best direction

Vlado- This is a great explanation - even better than the help manual
