Hi everyone; I have been struggling for years (am I stubborn?) to make the windows pluggin work and represent the reality of what a simple casement/double hung window looks like. With the current graphic definitions of the sill, apron, stool etc.. it is almost impossible for me to get something even close. Anyone in the same boat? Should I not use these options (useful for schedules though) and draw in the wall sections/details in 2D instead? Please advise Thanks CF

I am trying to view a detail (image) on the screen at the size that it will show on paper. Basically, looking at 1/1 like if I was drafting on paper. How do I setup the zoom level? Please advise

I think that you have to have the Alt key pressed when you push/pull

I think I found the answer, you need to have the Alt key pressed when you do the push/pull. Am I correct?

I am trying to push and pull parts of a cube by drawing a square on the top and pushing into the cube to remove the volume but I end up with a separate volume inside the cube which was not cutout at all. What am I doing wrong? Please help Thanks

I cannot subtract or add to an existing volume, it always create a separate volume, what am I doing wrong? Please help

Dear Horst; Super, thank you so much, will try right away

Can you help me get rid of these circles in front of my lamps? Also, how can I reduce the number of faces on a cone rendering? Thanks tons

Great idea, I did not know that you could use automator for vectorworks, thanks

What is the best way to design for both Construction drawings and rendering, with tiles patterns or with tile texture or both? Please advise Thank you

Is it possible to move the position of window shutters on top of the finish exterior walls when the windows are recessed? Could this be proposed as an improvement?

Is there a way to record a succession of actions into a macro that would be reusable. PS: Script language arcane to me Thanks

Anybody interested in joining a user group in the Hudson Valley, Poughkeepsie/Kingston area?

Why was this option removed? I liked to be able to snap to loci's extension line. Is there a similar way to proceed with the new setup?

I am trying to see what a custom dashed line would look like on paper but neither layer or viewport show me the 1/100=1 that should match my hand ruler when I measure the screen lengths. Frustrated, please help Thank you

just setup the color to empty

I found a way to speedup the ceiling tiles drawing. 1) draw large areas (surrounded by hallways) 2)create walls with double lines as polygons 3) add other polygons going through the ceilings (columns etc..) with solid color, this makes viewing and later selecting easier. 4) select all areas and subtract #2 and #3 from #1 You have now the inside of every space If you need install light tracks, offset this boundary by 2 ' or so for wall wash etc... I am happy with that but there may be the option of filling between walls also to save even more time... Just thought about it! Tell me what works best for you Best to all

I am trying to select all the lines that are less than 60cm(2 ft). Is there a custom selection or a script to do that?

OK thanks to all your replies, the floor options works great!

Is it possible to define a polygon which would have both a 2x2 tile pattern in plan view and at the same time a ceiling tile texture in Renderworks render mode? How do I achieve both? Thank you

can anyone explain to me why the snapping box is not located under the arrow indicating the location of my mouse pointer? I find that quite annoying as the box is a dull grey and much more difficult to spot than the arrow which I thought was the selection pointer. I guess it's a question of habit or maybe I'am missing something Thanks for your answers Best Christian

What language are you using for this code? Is there a place to learn how to write these programs? Please advise Thanks CF

I am flabergasted with the fact that some symbols can be attached to walls and others not, can someone expand on why, which and how tos Thanks CF

Joe, I agree with the benefits that you mention on having just one stair. I install it on the lower floor and use the upper and lower floor options to represent it as I want on either floor. I found that the copy really does not work very well. You mention the default file, is this the same stairs with the eyedroper set to pickup the original stair options as a default? or a complete different drawing file?

Can someone tell me how to write degree and delta in vectorworks for mac? Thank you CF
