Thanks Rick, was not aware of that. 1 Quote Link to comment

Or even Symbol name 'Contains'. Providing you have setup your file and workflow diligently then extra criteria can be applied which can help you filter further. Hi Tom, I'm a bit confused... So you can limit the iems in the list by Class? Would you be able to help me do that please? I can't get it to do that at the moment. That would solve my problem totally.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee TomWhiteLight Posted January 26 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 26 Hi Chris, it does not shorten the list only what objects get selected. We are working on Data Vis, there is an existing enhancement request to update the list using criteria. All the best Tom W Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Rick Berge Posted January 26 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 26 The top and bottom of the Edit Data Vis dialog are currently quite separate. The bottom ("Display Criteria") is only the mapping for what Values get what attributes, full stop. It starts with all possible values it can find in the current document. The top ("Object Criteria") refers to the drawing, selecting what objects you want to participate in data vis. If you are saying there are drawing objects not getting colored properly, that would be a bug or behavior to investigate. If you are saying you want the Object Criteria list to have fewer values by default, there is no way to do that today other than to not have those objects in your document, or to manually delete them from the list. And they will come back. That's not a bug. What color do you want if one of those undesirable bits of truss are used in the train for the first time? Do you want to think about that when you're setting up the scheme, or later when it happens? There are some enhancement requests for managing that bottom list of values, and when they're addressed we'll have to find a some balance between keeping inappropriate things off the list and allowing things that aren't used just yet. 2 Quote Link to comment
Wood Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Is there a way to color a specific portion of an object? For example, the stock VW Hoist geometry has a class "rigging-Hoist-Hoist Color-Lodestar" which is the only colored portion of the 2D symbol. I want ONLY those small portions of the hoist symbol to change, not the entire 2D object. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee TomWhiteLight Posted January 26 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 26 The only way to do this would be to remove the fill from the other 2d components that you don't want Data vis to fill and leave the fill of the objects that you want coloured. And then set Data Vis to apply a fill. it does not apply fill to classes. Quote Link to comment

If criteria has already been specified of a Plug In Object chosen then the list should only show applicable items rather than every item that is in the file. 1 Quote Link to comment
Chris J Clarke Posted May 22 Author Share Posted May 22 (edited) Do you know when this change might come to Vectorworks please Tom? Is it planned for a specific version? Edited May 22 by Chris J Clarke Quote Link to comment

(no more other object styles and wallstyles which do not match the criteria) can you tell me the VE-Nr Plz? If you want in a PM Quote Link to comment
