Hi Jonathan; Just signed up to see your demo, great information. I look forward to viewing all the information. I have a quick question regarding windows and doors showing sills where there is none. I know, I found the answer before but I can't seem to get rid of the black line anymore. what is the trick? Thanks

I usually use the plugin provided by VW but the profiles do not match the manufacturers details. I noticed that you can insert a symbol instead from inside the Object info panel. Do you insert a 3d symbol? Are these fixed or can you change the dimensions? I would like to be able to create proper elevation and wall sections.. Is there a section of the help that treats o the subject online? Thank you

In design layer I like to render the referenced geometry in grey tone. When I create a viewport though the referenced geometry turns black. Is there a fix for that? a different approach? Thanks Design Layer Viewport in Sheet Layer

I have 4 section viewports, 2 have automatic labeling showing up and 2 have not their label. When I add labels as a note the software tells me that there is already a label although I can't see it. I turned all the layers and classes on but still nothing. I also made sure that I am on plan view but that did not do anything. Any suggestion?

Thank you, good idea!

I was trying to step up a basement wall in 3d

I crashed at least 6 times today with the last update of VW, very frustrating. any suggestions? when it crashes and I reopen the program all my palettes are gone and I need to reopen them, loosing any organisation I previously did. Is there a way to save that organization? also, my file seems very big for the little information I have. Is there something wrong with it? can I attach it to this post ? if anyone can look at it and let me know what they think I would appreciate it thank you very much

this is crazy, with all new update things go wrong again! I cannot reshape walls as before, it seems like I am stuck on the layer plane which does not help. Any suggestion on how to add a step to my wall?

thank you

is there a way to orient the axis to match a different orientation than the standard one?

wow, you would think that vw would make this a cut and paste easy process but NO!

i just have either layer plane or screen plane, where do I find the automatic option ?

This looks like a class texture definition issue. For texture other than walls you need to specify the appropriate texture under the "other" category of the render option on your specific class. Hope that helps

THANK YOU

what is a auto-hybrid?

anybody knows where to find a symbol for a wall mounted toilet? thanks

I read yesterday a recent post describing the work of an architect that was very well explained on the subject of organizing its documents with VW. I cannot find it again. Did someone read this and can redirect me to it? Thank you

My two cents on this discussion, I just started using sketchup again and found that it is 100 times more pleasurable to model and develop designs than in VW. I have used VW since god knows when, maybe 10 years. 2d is fine but I trying to develop a profitable workflow taking advantage of the 3D/BIM tools takes sooooooo long that I keep spending crazy time. Coordination, with classes, tools that change with all upgrades. I lost my mojo and would like to get an idea of reasonable workflow for residential work. I feel like I am reinventing the wheel each time. Anybody actually design in 3D and produces 2D drawings from that for CDs? with all the "intelligent" section numbers, drawing lists, schedules etc.... Can someone refer me to a reasonable workflow for that kind of work?

thank you

do you know how to create a hyperlink in vectorworks?

I am considering hyperlinks for client information management. Has anyone used this before? Is there a possibility to do this in Vectorworks?

got it, you need to make sure that the font is large enough, Da!

Sorry this is not a direct answer but a question as I see that you were able to add an image to your post. How do you do that? Thank you
