Cadplan Architecture

Does anyone know if you can Rotate a Viewport while in Annotate mode like you can with Layers?

I like the new wall tool. Re the cut plane: Clip Cube allows you cut anywhere.

Please add the ability to vary the text size of dimension notes to avoid drawings becoming cluttered. It would actually be amazing if the notes were assigned a footnote number with the text appearing on a separate list a bit like callouts.

You can as the are in a class

Easy in 2025, you can set up a hot key anyway.

I haven’t tried Energos but may so do now. My approach for individual domestic projects is to use a manufacturers’s online U value calculator. This has the advantage that you then receive an email with PDF a confirming the build up and U value that you can then use in various ways, eg dropping into your building plans PDF ready to send to BC for plan checking. I have steered away from specifying the two largest PIR manufacturers and now use the Recticel calculator. Unilin (was Xtratherm), Ecotherm and others in the UK have similar calculators.

Thanks, I used to use animation as it was easy in earlier versions of VW, this example is good but I'm looking for something that you can records as you move the mouse so interactive. For now I will see if I can find an up to date movie of how to use the animation tool and hope that Vectorworks produce a new visualisation tool. for 2025.

When I’m drawing up houses I like to spin the model round on screen using the flyover tool, it’s great and far easier to control than the animation tools, I wish that Vectorworks would introduce this type of intuitive interactive tool for making short movies, at the moment I use screen capture but it’s not ideal.

Any recommendations for 3D symbols of UK roof lanterns as I don't really get the Wasco codes re sizes and they are clunky looking. I'm looking for 1200mm x1200mm & 1500mm x1500mm "skylight' lanterns in the style of Eurocell Skypods.

Anyone using yet with VW2024?

Until recently I would have suggested an Apple refurbished 27" high spec iMac as I got one a year ago for a good price and 0%. I suppose it depends on your circumstances as for a one person business a new Studio and screen would be pricey. Such a shame that the 27" iMac was discontinued, the 24" ones are toys by comparison.

The main roof is one roof so no problem to have a gable each end. You then draw the other roofs. If it was me I would draw the other roofs as roof faces as you can clip them in plan view. The Connect/Combine tool is also very useful. As always in Vectorworks there are often several ways to achieve the same result.

If I'm understanding correctly you want the main roof to have a gable at each end. If you select the roof then click on the blue anchor and select Gable.

My migration has kept my workspace but the mouse right button commands have gone, I’m guessing that we have to set them up again for 24 so it’s something to bear in mind. I may build a new workspace as well to make a clean break from 23.

Cloud Services file sharing is great as we can show clients revision issue PDFs on screen or mobile vis Nomad but please could we have the option to have them non downloadable, ie just for viewing?
