Favorite Folder in VW Libraries

[Claudia P.]

I have create a MY PLANTS Folder within my Project and was wondering how I can export this Folder into User Libraries so that I can get back to this folder when working on other Projects. I have been trying to watch videos and find explanations very hard to follow. 

 

I am very new to VW…. Thank you

If you save your PLANTS RM folder into a blank file then save that file into your "Plants" folder in the user library. Alternatively you could do the same except save the file (or a shortcut of the file) in your "Favorites" folder in your user library. Either way works. After doing this you'll need to restart VW or refresh the RM Library.

 

I tend to use a "Master Library" file located in my favorites folder and I simply export resources into it. Over time this can get very big and so you might prefer to break up your different resources into their their own files and save them in the approriate User folder.

 

In windows the user library is located here:

[User]\AppData\Roaming\Nemetschek\Vectorworks\2023\Libraries.

Or you can find the user library via the vw Preferences dialogue. Go to Tools>Options>Vectorworks Preferences...>User Folders Tab

Then hit "Explore"

 

I also just noticed there is an "Add new favorite files..." option in the RM.
