  1. Anyone know how to pull out the window style being used for a window in a worksheet?
  2. Hi there, I am wondering if someone can help me figure out how to add a row in a report. In the attached image, I have a report using the space tool to show the space name and area. I'd like to either: 1. Add a row between 1.2 and 1.3 in order to add a sum of the Total (E) Area, and then add maybe a blank row below to separate from the (N) areas. -or- 2. Make the space labels different somehow based on whether they are (E) or (N). So when I pull a report, I could call up only the (E) or the (N), rather than both. Are either of these possible, or one easier/quicker than the other? Does anyone have any recommmendations for setting up building areas/spaces in worksheets? I am trying to set this up so that it can be used in our office template.
  3. Hello, I have a worksheet that functions as a "Sheet Index" and I'm trying to simplify the criteria that shows the active sheets. Presently my sheets have a numbering system that places an "X-number" and when I ready to have them show up on the Index, I change the X-number to a letter different than X. The only way I have been able to make the sheets no so the I recalculate is to add the criteria (Layer/is not/X-and the exact number) for each sheet. I Would like to be able to specify all the "X-" and have them not show with a single criteria. I have tried Name, Field value etc.. but haven't figured out how to make this work. I'm asking this because for some reason the edit criteria dialog window will no longer let me keep doing this. It's seems to have a reached a limit to the number of criteria of 25, because if I try doing this for some additional sheets I have recently added the function no longer continues to work. Thanks in advance
  4. I've use a lot of concrete stairs and there is no way to obtain the volume, m3 or cubic feet, of a stair, other than rebuild the stair using extrudes or converting to a generic solid and using the 3D properties, but you canont put that data on a worksheet, and in the process you destroy the parametric the stair, and if you change the model you have to redo the stairs, all of them.
  5. I would like the ability to add multiple rows in a worksheet not limited by the number of selected rows, or limited by dragging the bottom right handle of the ws. Currently if I want to add 7 rows in the center or a 4 row ws I need to: select rows 3&4 >insert rows, select rows 3-6 >Insert Rows select any single row from 2 to 7>Insert rows. I would like Insert Rows>selection or count?>7 enter.
  6. I believe this has been asked before: Is there a way to return the length of a dimension to a worksheet? Interestingly I can report the dimension height, width, x or y center etc. but am stumped to find the call for the dimension value itself. I'm associating Setback dimensions and would like their values to automatically populate the Zoning Check worksheet.
  7. We are often tasked with quantifying elements in our drawings and dividing these quantities up along different sections of the design. To provide an example, the following screenshot shows an excel spreadsheet being used to track quantities across 9 medians in this case. Each row is a separate line item that we need to provide quantities for and each column to the right, a separate median. Also note that each row is potentially a different unit. It would be great if Vectorworks' worksheets had the capability to do something similar using database headers. I know it is possible by writing individual formulas in cells of a spreadsheet, but that gets cumbersome and potentially creates errors as classes modify and things shift throughout a project. Its a lot to keep track of. I also know that this could be managed by a record with separate fields for each of the medians' quantities, but again, that would have to updated each time the drawing shape changes since there is no way to link a shapes properties (i.e. area, volume, length, etc.) to a record value. We can easily separate quantities using design layers, polygon location references, records, etc, so what I am imagining is a general database header formula...L='Demo' in this example. Then in columns I could use the =C formula to summarize rows based on classes (essentially the line items from the example) above, Use the formula =AREA(LOC='MEDIAN 1'), =AREA(LOC='MEDIAN 2'), =AREA(LOC='MEDIAN 3'), etc. for all of the columns calculating quantities. I don't really have a great way of separating the units (=area, =length, =volume, etc.) though, so I would have to create a database header for each different quantity (which can screw up the order)
  8. I have created a 3d chair just by extracting multiple basic shapes. And i cannot find a way to extract volume for that. Can anyone suggest a way
  9. I'm just learning about worksheets and generating reports. I've created a worksheet for a wall style and have 2 issues i can't resolve. 1) When multiplying Net Area and Price/ SqFt, the numbers are off. (The functions maybe wrong?) 2) Using =COMPNAMEBYCLASS i have the wall components listed to determine price/sqFt. but the total Net Area for each component and the wall styles don't match up. Or are they not supposed to? Attached is the file. Any insight into what i'm doing wrong is greatly appreciated. Worksheets.vwx
  10. Hey all, Quick worksheet question for the veterans. Is it possible to get a SUM of areas generated from space objects. The SUM function adds together the number of database objects rather than of the information they are providing. I've attached a dropbox link to a jpeg that will explain it better than I can. https://www.dropbox.com/s/z62v30i61i5965i/Worksheet Screenshot.png?dl=0
  11. For some unknown reason, a created worksheet no longer displays on my sheet. I find the worksheet listed on my resources but I lost it in the sheet layer. What is the way to search for this lost items??? I opened the worksheet but it no longer displays in the page. Here is a link to th e file https://www.dropbox.com/s/km6thwwbjw59yvk/Plano_Construccion.vwx?dl=0
  12. I`m trying to create a bill of materials for a table design. The idea was to create a worksheet to count all the symbols in the design (every part of the table is a symbol) and add a column to type a description for every symbol. But this doesnt seem to be possible. Is this correct? I want to add text in the blue part. If this is not possible: Probably attaching record is the way to go. Only me is told that i have to 'reload/replace' all the symbols on al the design layers to give it the record/info I attached to the symbol. Is there a way to attach the record to symbol and 'send' the information in it to all exciting symbols without replacing them? Thanks!
  13. HI does anybody's worksheet take a long time to render? My ones have been very irregular and it takes me sometimes up to an hour to render a simple three view technical drawings. Suggestions anyone
  14. I'm just learning about worksheets and have learned a lot on the forum. But i can't seem to find an answer to a very basic procedure. I'm creating a Door schedule and have used the User Field 1 in each of the doors for the price. With ='Door'.'UserFld1' placed in the worksheet database header, each of the database subrows have the correct price and have been formatted with decimal and the leader $. But the database header row only shows the number of doors with a dollar sign in front. How would i show the total price of all the doors in the last cell of the column? Is there a better way to do this that i'm missing?
  15. =(('Property Line'.'Area')) returns a non-numeric string. Eg. 31106 sq ft I want use the numeric value to calculate allowable Lot Coverage as prescribed by the zoning How can I extract the area as a number?
  16. I have a worksheet which is a plant legend made up of records for a number of different plants. I'd like to separate the legends by category ie Tree, Shrub, Vine, Groundcover etc. I have the category in the worksheet and can sort, but is there a way to make entirely separate legends for each so I can sort alphabetically within the category?
  17. It would be nice to have the option to delete a particular criteria choice within a database header rather than just using the "Fewer Choices" to eliminate just the last (bottom) criteria choice. The current methodology for eliminating criteria at the top of the list is cumbersome if you want a clean list of criteria, free from "All Object" choices. I've had criteria that are more than 10 lines long and eliminating the first, third, and seventh lines is impossible without assigning a "All Objects" choice to it. I see two options for fixing this. 1. Consider an interface with + and - buttons for each line instead of the "More Choices" and "Fewer Choices" buttons. 2. The second option would be, when changing a criteria to "All Objects", the list reorganizes to put those choices at the bottom of the list. The user could then use the "Fewer Choices" button to remove the unwanted lines.
  18. I have a model with mass models and a landscape. For the mass model I've made an entire worksheet that gives me a lot of information instantly. Now I'm trying to find a way to do kind of the same thing for the landscape. I have made several classes ( private green, public green, water, hard surface,...) all in the same layer (landscape). I was wondering of it's possible to make a worksheet that gives me in one column the name of the class and in the other column the entire surface of all the polygons in that class? Thanks in advance!
  19. Dear All, I'm struggling with Wall Types Worksheet. I'd like to add 'Components' and 'R-Value' data from Wall Types that I have. The partial solution for the first thing is pulling the data from the 'Description' field, but it's not what I want in the end. Is there a certain field name that I can place in the worksheet? Thanks in advance, Kris
  20. Hello there... I have a worksheet listing all the windows in my project. What I want to do is to sort it by layer, using my layer stacking order (or story level) to do it. Of course I could use "=L" and sort it by name, but them I get something like 1º FLOOR.... 2º FLOOR... and only them... GROUND LEVEL. Is there a way out without changing "GROUND LEVEL" to "0 GROUND LEVEL"? That you mess with other worksheets I have... Thanks, VW 2014 Felipe.
  21. Hello guys, I tried to calculate average area in worksheet where i need to divide cell B2 by cell C2, I used (=B2/C2) in cell D2 which is in my database but the result is not as expected, its not actually dividing its just showing the values in Column B. whereas addition and subtraction is working fine but not divide and multiplication. Does anyone have a solution for it, I attached my file below kindly refer it. worksheet div.vwx
  22. I am used to highlighting the entire database header, copying it, and then pasting it in the cell in column A of the row where I want it, row 12 for example. This is no longer working. Now it pastes the header starting in cell B 12, leaving A 12 blank. I've also tried highlighting the entire row 12 then pasting, I get the same result. Can someone advise I'm not looking forward to copy + pasting every single cell for 20 different headers. Thank you.
  23. Hey al, Is there a way to use a spreadsheet of X,Y,Z position data to populate the appropriate X,Y,Z fields of a symbol, fixture, or any object? For example, a designer i work with gave me an MA3D file created in 3D but i need to turn it into appropriate lighting plot paperwork. I have X,Y,Z data for every finxture and want to use an easy copy and paste to position all fixtures correctly in the drawing. I have tried using a lightwright data exchange, report functionality listing the X,Y,Z data of each fixture, and tried to create records with no luck. any time i populate the fileds in a spreadsheet, the changes do not get reflected on the fixtures. Any tips? Thanks!
  24. Using a worksheet and a marionette network, I can create 61 circles (one rank of organ pipes) with spacing based on a percentage of their diameters. I'm trying to figure out how to create number labels for the pipes. I want the largest circle to be "1" and so on with the label using the same center as it's circle. Pipe Labeling.vwx
  25. Hi, Trying to build a worksheet to reference: Sheet Number Sheet Title Sheet Description And then also be able to put them in the Title Block. Is there a way to do this? I can't figure out the syntax. Or do I have to use the TitleBlock Tool ? Thanks Ethan
