  1. Tried a few times today. None of the other Cloud menu commands do anything at all. Submitted Support request. Thank you.
  2. What do I do to fix this message? Running on Mac. M1 Max Sonoma 14.2.1 Application up to date:
  3. Even if the worksheets are a completely different size, if they had the same insertion point, it would be a huge timesaver for my current workflow
  4. With a checkbox option for each of those. I would want it to do that in my primary drawing, but i would still need the option to be able to add prefixes to things I’m about to import
  5. Sorry to be late to the party. Unless you're beta testing or love submitting bug reports, NEVER upgrade before sp1, and in most cases not before sp2. My rule is to let everyone wrap up existing 2023 projects over the course of 2023, and expect everyone to start the new year on the latest version together. If the team can find a gap of time between the fall rush and 1/1 to upgrade, then agree on that day or week and do it all together, that way when one person has questions about workspaces and user folders, you can all help each-other, or all bother the one tech savvy person in the company for a shorter piece of time, rather than over the course of months. And up-saving files to new version is always as needed since it is a very simple process upon repoening, EXCEPT for favorite/library and template/.sta files. Fresh copies of those want to be done as soon as you upgrade.
  6. To be fair. I did make it work, but I like Pat suggestion better because it’s much easier to manage the formatting via worksheet. I’m excited about the naming a viewport crop as a location tip! I also think it’s easier to manage criteria in a worksheet then a graphic legend. It feels as if it were fewer steps to get to the same fix.
  7. How do you make a Section VP from a SLVP without a clipcube, don't you have to start on the Design Layer? The geometry was built by someone else, and it appears to be very simple, but it is using a bunch of custom plug-ins that could be suspicious. Hard for me to tell.
  8. Definitely going to try this one
  9. I appear to be having an issue where the background render settings of my viewport, obey the clipcube, but the foreground render settings in this case, hidden line, ignore the clipcube and stick doors in where there shouldn't be. Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong, or do I need to include a sample file? (I'm delaying, including the sample file because I would have to make a copy of the existing file and clear out a bunch of stuff for confidentiality, and need to find a free moment to deal with that) As a sidenote, the reason I am constantly using clipcubes for sections and elevations is I am still reliably crashing, hanging or having terrible update times whenever I make/use a section viewport. Other people seem to be able to use them, what setting do I have wrong?
  10. @Jesse Cogswell This appears to be extremely foxy. I will test it out on the current show stat. You won't have to worry about me bugging you again for at least a week. Thank you so much!!
  11. @Jesse Cogswell That gets me far closer than before, and it is very fast. I’m attaching my test file I have tested that this does work on the design layer, it does work in the annotations, and it does work outside of a viewport. Could we have the counts on the left? I can do this manually, but if it is not difficult: could I have the ability to add a header via the OIP or something? In some cases it would say Inventory in some cases they want vocabulary like Bill of Materials, or Rental Items, you can see the example I posted a little earlier in this thread. It would be great to exclude all data tags from an inventory list. In this case I'm using a datatag to read off the space number, but I usually use one to read off the space name or name an area or similar It would be great if it did not say “Symbol –“ before each symbol Is there a reasonable world wherein it would display video screen with size and separately projector with type (or symbol name)? How about a television with its symbol name? This is also one of the dilemmas I'm still running into when I work on the graphic legends version of this. Space Inventory working.vwx
  12. Excited to try in the morning. Keep you posted. Thank you!
  13. Got this far in replicating the manual text data, shown Left, with Graphic Legends, shown Right. Plug in objects like Projectors with screens are breaking the system.
  14. Guess I'll keep looking for that. Hints welcome
  15. Space Objects already carry that data, so shouldn't need a separate record. It would be duplicative.
  16. Conclusion: Pretty but missing the counts, so that is the first dealbreaker.
  17. @Kevin Allen Graphic legend by Viewport + Layer may suffice. Testing soon...
  18. Do I dare open the wormy-can and ask if this is a Marionette thing, which I have never gotten to fully work for me? 😬
  19. Which brings to mind the interesting fact that when I created this original worksheet to read spaces, I had to do one database that called symbols, and then below it another that read off certain plug-in objects in order to display the entertainment symbols. I think I couldn't get them both in one because the columns needed to look for different fields to read out the same info. I'm not totally done processing options, but that's where I landed before I ran out of time on that project.
  20. Yes and no, because if you go down this road, including several things I currently track in schedule rather than layouts, then you have to move a metric F-ton of other schedule capabilities into VWX too, which I'm more than happy to discuss, but is definitely a major undertaking, to meet the capabilities of my current excel scheduling system. Don't want to manage schedule info in two places.
  21. Exactly correct, except it is usually 2x Corgis
  22. Videos for that are in my inbox labeled "watch what you get a free second" I guess that time needs to be now. I've seen Graphic Legend preview info, but not a deep nuts and bolts yet. Glad to have a lesson if anyone has the time. Do you know that it can be used to read off the contents of a Space?
  23. This is pretty much what I normally do. Though One time I did it and had to do an edit, which meant I had to do the same edit to all 26 rooms' worksheets. Which taught me that I definitely don't want to do the separate duplicated worksheet system for this job! If only I could make a worksheet that was like a plug in object, or has a style. I could have the entirety of the worksheet controlled by style, except for the one element that I wanted to be controlled by instance, which would be the criteria of Space Name (I found I use Custom Space Name field as the partial workaround for space "Names")
  24. I use a space object (Event Design>Create spaces from polys) to defined the geometry. I can almost never use a paint bucket to create that space shape even though that would be ideal, so I usually just drop a dirty rectangle down and make it barely visible. I do name that space though, I think I use Custom Space Name field as the partial workaround for space "Names" or something like that. I have found was worksheets that if you drop a symbol within the confines of a space they do become sufficiently affiliated to create a worksheet where the criteria is any object with a space name of whatever. I just can't create 300 worksheets and then keep up with edits for all of them. I would be interested in talking, I am pretty swamped, so I will reach out as soon as I get a chance, if I get a chance before I go OOO.
