zoomer Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 In the past I was always able to control the position of my Windows precisely with respect to my Wall Components. There was an Offset Value in general top tab of Windows PIO settings. At some point (VW 2020 or 2022 ?) there was a small change to Windows, (Probably in preparation for coming changes for Walls and Wall Closures) which eliminated that Offset and insertion depth control. I thought I should retry with Wall Closures iteration 2. in VW 2023. 1. I tried all kind of "Insertion" markers and settings in both Wall Styl or overwriting in Window Style. While it all looks perfect in Wall Closures Preview, my Windows Jamb insertion depth in 3D geometry or 2D representation does not seem to move to where I want or to move at all ? Is someone able to bring my Window insertion position aligned ? (outer face of Jamb = outer face of Concrete Core Component) 2. I try to model my existing Sill situation. Basically it should be simplified to have one Board of 2 cm Aluminium on the outer side from the Jamb. Extending Wall Opening 2 cm on sides and outer Wall Face by 4 cm at the front. And on the inner side a 2 cm Board of Marble, extending sides and front by 2 cm. I think I already tried all 3 Sill Options and through all of their Settings. So far it looks like I should just switch off Sill option in PIO and model everything Silly manually. But maybe someone is able to tweak PIOs parametric Sill Settings to get the desired Geometry ?

0 line-weight Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Today is the day I chose to start grappling with wall closures, which I've so far not started using. Taken me at least 4 hours to get to a point of understanding basically what determines what happens where. I came up against nearly all of the exact same issues that are described in this thread by @Tom W., @zoomer and others. Hence ending up finding more useful info in this thread than in the official help. I presume everyone goes through some version of this. I often end up doing a "write-your-own documentation" exercise when I'm figuring out a new VW feauture, partly because it helps me get my head around it but also because there are often gaps in the official documentation. I've posted below what I have written in case it's of use to anyone else. There may well be errors/incompleteness in there. This is for VW2023; I'm aware some things have changed in VW2024. 1 Quote Link to comment

The only place I think we can improve the preview is for dialogs coming from the instance because that's the only case we know what the instances insert location is. We do plan to tweak this for a future version. On 1/31/2023 at 5:46 AM, Christopher Graye said: As Matt also mentioned, the one place this preview could actually be more realistic is in the Wall Closure dialog for a specific insert that is actually in a wall in the document. Since we have an actual wall and an actual insert, we could try to show the situation exactly as it really is in the document. I have experimented with this, and practically speaking it actually has some unexpected difficulties and works less well than you might expect in a lot of cases. But one thing we could do is try to set the the insert depth and insert origin preview options to automatically reflect the real insert as well as possible. In fact, we should already be doing this, I just haven't gotten it to work properly yet. Having had a brief look in VW2024, this is still the same there - is that right? This is really a major source of confusion because if I decide that the wall closure settings for a certain window are going to be determined by that window, not by the wall's "suggestions", and untick the "use wall settings" box in the window's OIP, if I start interacting with settings offered to me for that window instance it seems reasonable to assume that any adjustments I make in those settings will apply to that window instance. Let's say I have also gone into the "plug-in object options" for that individual window instance, and chosen an insert location for it, and said that this will be determined by the "wall - insert location" plus an offset. This places the window into my wall like this - which is what I want (the offset is from the interface of the brown/yellow components) But if I now go to the wall closure options for that window instance (which are being controlled by the window, not the wall) I get presented with this: There are three issues: 1. It lets me edit the "insert location" and "offset" columns in those wrapping settings, and it adjusts the preview accordingly: And yet, these changes to the settings have no effect whatsoever on the actual window. It's not just that it lets me edit them (when they should be greyed out, because I've chosen to determine the insert location by other means) but it even shows them taking effect in preview, just like the wrapping settings (correctly) show in preview. So it gives me this twofold feedback that firstly I can edit, and secondly here are the results of that edit. And yet it's all in fact entirely futile. 2. The preview does not automatically show the (real and effective) window offset that I've already applied in the other settings. This is yet further reassurance that it's the offset I'm editing in the adjacent table that's the effective one. 3. Ok, so maybe there is some technical reason that the real offset can not be shown in that preview. Anyone who's already been fiddling with this feature will probably have realised that this is a kind of semi-faked preview because you have to manually enter the depth of your "insert" and its origin location, but it doesn't let me manually enter its offset within the opening, so it's not actually possible for me to generate a representative preview even manually. (I think the fact that this preview is not a true automatic one needs to be signposted more clearly in general in the interface by the way, this caused me confusion in itself for some time. Additionally the terminology "insert depth" and "insert origin" is inconsistent and misleading but I haven't the energy to type out why.) Ok, so that's my moan about this bit of the interface, which frankly I think is awful. However so as not just to be negative about everything, I think this ability to do wall closures, once you work it out, is a really big step forward and well done for getting it implemented. I can only imagine how complex it all is, behind the scenes. Quote Link to comment
0 Tom W. Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 What's confusing is that there are three different places you can set the insert location + this is controlled in the PIO Options: Unless you come here you have no idea which settings your PIO is using. It would be helpful if in the Wall Closure or Wall settings it had a little note to say that the insert location settings you make here will only be applied if activated in the PIO options setting. This relates to the ongoing discussion about the importance of the PIO Options settings + how they should be more accessible/prominent. 2 Quote Link to comment

It's actually even slightly more confusing than that because while the insert location is either/or, the offset can be cumulative (if you choose the insert location to be determined by wall closure settings then the offset in the PIO options is added to the offset in the wall closure settings). And the cumulative effect is not reflected in the semi-fake preview. 2 Quote Link to comment

Then of course on top of this, there is the choice of where the window's "insertion point" is, relative to the window geometry. (That'll be the "insertion point" that gets called the "insert origin" in the preview image, just to add a little more uncertainty about whether it's referring to the same thing. And of course the "insertion point"/"insert origin" gets placed at the "insert location", not the "insertion location".) Quote Link to comment

But yes, in the preview (as far as I can make out) Insert Depth = overall depth of the window object (or other symbol) you are inserting, and you have to set this yourself Insert Origin = where, within the window object, not within the wall the insertion point for that window is, and you have to set this yourself As far as the insert location (the location within the thickness of the wall, where the window gets inserted) is concerned, settings you make within the wall closures dialogue are reflected in the preview but may or may not reflect reality, and settings you make in the plug-in object options dialogue aren't reflected in the preview and you can't manually add them to the preview yourself.

Basically, yes. It is something I would still like to improve if we have time, but that got less important with the new Vectorworks 2024 ability to define multiple wall closures for each wall/wall style. The reason is that that ability makes it far less likely that you will need to override wall closure settings for an individual insert. The intended workflow is that you will define all the closures you will need for a given wall style in the style itself. Of course there are always exceptions and one-offs, so we did not remove the ability to override the closure settings at the insert level, but you will notice we did remove the ability to override the wall style closure settings at the wall object level, because there is no real need for it, and having those multiple levels of overrides along with multiple wall closures would be incredibly confusing.

Where terminology can't be made clearer there is always the opportunity for visual hints. When I first met this interface there were two things that confused me. One was the fact that the preview requires some manual input of data and that changing settings here doesn't change anything in the drawing. But there's not much to signal that to the user. That's not something that really occurs elsewhere in VW (that I can think of) so I think there could be something that makes it more immediately clear what is happening. Some cursor prompts do appear in small text when you hover over the settings, but could that text not be written immediately above the input fields? The other thing is the "grey zone" that appears in the preview image. This represents the region where the "insert" will sit, but I spent some time thinking it represented a depth zone between the outside face of the wall, and the outside face of the inserted object. That's partly because "insert depth" (where I'm invited to type a number) could be read to mean the depth of an inserted object or the depth at which an object is inserted. In fact I have to confess it's quite hard to think of an alternative name for this field that is unambiguous. Hence I'd wonder if better graphical hints could help. I appreciate that in some cases it won't be a window going in here but could be some kind of custom symbol. So perhaps that's why it's just shown as a "grey zone" rather than something that looks like a window. However - in the diagram immediately adjacent to it, in the "profile offsets" panel, someone has made the decision that this diagram will show a simplified typical window shape. So why the inconsistency between these two illustrations, that appear next to each other in the same interface? If the "preview" image showed a simplified window-type shape, just like the other one does, I think that would go a long way towards making it more immediately apparent what's being shown. 2 Quote Link to comment

You're absolutely right sorry. In all cases the insert depth + insert origin in the preview is generic + bears no relation to the actual insert until you enter the values yourself. The Help text suggests that when you open the Wall Closure dialog for the insert the insert in the preview will match the actual insert in question which it doesn't. Quote Link to comment

You're right - it's because wall closures can apply to not only doors and windows but also symbols and theoretically any plug-in object that wants to opt into the system. So we needed to keep the preview vague (at least at the wall style level - as I said, it would be much better to show something closer to the actual insert at the insert level if possible). But there was actually another reason for this - performance. These settings are far too complex to try to fake up a preview that accurately represents what will happen when you apply them to a real object in a real wall, so we make the preview by actually creating a real object in a real wall and showing what the system really spits out. This entails some complex geometric operations with solids and sectioning solids, and it can easily get very slow if the preview object is too complex. We considered it essential to be able to update the preview without the user perceiving any delay, because having to wait for the preview to regenerate after each keystroke in the dialog would be extremely annoying. So keeping the preview object this simple also allows us to keep the dialog fast and usable. 3 Quote Link to comment

Do you mean in the Wall Closure dialog for a Window? And a basic door representation when the insert is a Door? What about when the insert is your own symbol? Use the generic grey rectangle in those cases? What I am still confused about is this: @Christopher Graye this suggests (as @line-weight said) that in the case of the Wall Closure dialog for an insert, the preview shows not a generic insert but one that has the depth + origin of the insert in question. This isn't what happens so are we misinterpreting what it's saying? Or is the info incorrect? 13 minutes ago, line-weight said: And the complexity of the insert object itself doesn't change any of that, or does it? I think for a symbol you can define exactly how you want the wall to interact with the symbol by adding geometry to the Wall Closure component of the symbol (have never tried it). https://app-help.vectorworks.net/2024/eng/VW2024_Guide/Symbols/Adding_a_wall_closure_component_to_a_symbol_definition.htm Quote Link to comment
0 line-weight Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Veering slightly off topic... I did a little test to see what happens when you use a non rectilinear symbol as a "window" (that is, using the "use symbol geometry" within a standard VW window object). It looks like it cuts a hole perpendicularly through the wall based on the object's outermost extents, and then it decides the closure arrangement for each side of the resulting polygon based on how close it is to being vertical or horizontal. In this case I have it set so that components "wrap" at left and right sides but not top and bottom. Quote Link to comment

I think it would be ok if it was just a basic window representation regardless of whether you're inserting a window, door or custom symbol. That's what you get (as far as I can see) in the two other locations within the closure dialogue, regardless of what you're inserting: I do get that it is difficult to make a decision on what's the least confusing approach though. The way I see it, once people are using custom symbols, they are probably deep enough into things that they can easily understand that the representation is just diagrammatic. My aim would be to make things as legible as possible for someone meeting the interface for the first time, and at that point they are likely just to be wanting to insert a standard window or door. Anyway, yes I do agree with you that the green text in the Help page is a bit confusing/unclear. 1 Quote Link to comment

Maybe, but if you are not actually putting a window in there that will be misleading. I think I actually wanted nothing in there all, because, first of all, I didn't want any detail at all to obscure the actual closure geometry the user is editing; and secondly so everyone understood that they were editing the closure, not the inserted object. This was a major point of confusion at first, because everyone was used to controlling component wrapping by editing the inserted object itself. But here what you are editing is the wall or wall style or, at the insert-level, the connection between the wall and the inserted object. So by de-emphasizing the graphics of the insert, I had hoped to make this clear. Matt, I think, thought we needed something in there so that the options about wrapping to the insert, etc. would be more clearly understood. This dashed gray rectangle is the compromise we came up with. And it has gone through some changes, too - I think it was initially much darker. 2 Quote Link to comment
Question
zoomer
In the past I was always able to control the position of my Windows precisely
with respect to my Wall Components.
There was an Offset Value in general top tab of Windows PIO settings.
At some point (VW 2020 or 2022 ?) there was a small change to Windows,
(Probably in preparation for coming changes for Walls and Wall Closures)
which eliminated that Offset and insertion depth control.
I thought I should retry with Wall Closures iteration 2. in VW 2023.
1.
I tried all kind of "Insertion" markers and settings in both Wall Styl or overwriting
in Window Style.
While it all looks perfect in Wall Closures Preview, my Windows Jamb insertion
depth in 3D geometry or 2D representation does not seem to move to where I want
or to move at all ?
Is someone able to bring my Window insertion position aligned ?
(outer face of Jamb = outer face of Concrete Core Component)
2.
I try to model my existing Sill situation.
Basically it should be simplified to have one Board of 2 cm Aluminium
on the outer side from the Jamb. Extending Wall Opening 2 cm on sides
and outer Wall Face by 4 cm at the front.
And on the inner side a 2 cm Board of Marble, extending sides and front
by 2 cm.
I think I already tried all 3 Sill Options and through all of their Settings.
So far it looks like I should just switch off Sill option in PIO and model
everything Silly manually.
But maybe someone is able to tweak PIOs parametric Sill Settings to
get the desired Geometry ?
