Is there a bug in VW13 that prevents windows ID in plan? see image file attached /Users/Christian/Desktop/Screen Shot 2012-10-12 at 3.04.25 PM.png

Greenhorn, thx for your input but is it possible to create a wall in a drawing and at the same time in my library system if different? HOw do you manage this?

VW is shipped with all kind of libraries, how do I keep my stuff easy to find from release to release? Please advise Thanks

I am confused as to how and where to organized or find wall types to reuse from VW upgrades. Where do I create details, wall types, rendering types etc... Would custom woorkspaces be helpful, where should I save them and are they useable from upgrade to upgrade? Is there a video showing this ? Thank you

Very nice indeed

Dear Wes; I like your window assembly, is this a symbol or a parametric window? Would you share this? Thank you CF

Why would this be new, I just updated from VW12 to VW13? It works in a browser on the internet!

Incredible, love this. Thanks

I think you need to change units of your preferences to metric.

For example if I use the "Move" command, the cursor is on X and I used to move it to the Y field by pressing on the Tab key (in VW12). This is not working anymore. I looked but could not find where to set this up in VW13. Any suggestion? THX

Why do i need to click at least twice to switch between the Building Shell tool set and the 3D Modeling tool set? Is this a bug?

I agree with the setup that you mention and I turn the siding and sheathing of to snap to the framing. My question had to do with the appropriate class to draw the wall assembly on. I am not sure which I should use or if auto-classing would be the best, let VW decide.

I think that the issue is having the window on the 1stfloor walls and looking at the second floor plan where they will not appear. Am i understanding correctly?

I like to turn off sheathing and drywall layers to dimension to framing. Which class should I use to draw my walls and be able to see the frame part when I need?

Isn't a 3d model a 2D object with an extrusion and if so how does VW separate 2D from 3D in Hybrid objects? Isn't there a prefered class (0)to create symbols on?

What is the best way to create symbols? which class should be used? Please advise CF

Is there a video showing how to modify the std title block ? I usually print on 11x17 and the std title blocks are much too big for this page size. Thank you

I did, thank you, I will try

I am service select member and gave my CC payment by phone the other day but I cant find where to download the upgrade. Any idea? Thanks CF

Is this possible to save?

I find it much quicker than trying to figure out how to setup each and every tool. For example: How do you show windows in a gable wall at different heights in a floor plan using the walls in architect?

the reference grid is showing with continuous lines but the dots of the snapping grid are only temporarily showing while I zoom in and out. Any suggestion? thank you

It seems to me that due to the complication of all the parametric walls and its limitations (high windows in plan, etc.) that it is much easier to actually model in extrusions and create sections as needed for plan views etc... Anyone using it that way for architecture drawings? Obviously this becomes just a 3d modeling and the architecture features and BIM promotions become useless. Basically a dumbed down VW

With any floor/slab, windows, doors etc... to use I always need to look into the help without ever finding the response to my "simple" need. The slabs extend beyond the boundary of the polyline, the elevation benchmarks don't work in 3D I am getting quite frustrated with vectorworks. IT's becoming so complicated without working really, like it used to be. What should I do, use the 2d only or move to another software? Please advise Thanks

what's happening the drag point releases and i can't move anything! just updated to last patch
