Stacked Wall Components

Another vote for stacked wall components.

 

I have to create this wall condition in VW...

 

Thanks,

A lot of us have been asking for this for years.

 

Other software does this, why not Vectorworks?

Appreciate the thumbs up.

 

Do not understand the issue of why Vectorworks is unable to do this.

 

Is there something unique to Vectorworks programming that does not allow this?

It was about 10 years ago that I asked for this.

One can only hope at this point.

 

I am sure I am not alone as to why VW has not addressed this.

There are multiple other Architectural software that will do this.

 

I understand the need for the great strides VW has made over the years

to keep up with status quo if you will.

 

How about "core" tools that we as builder use.

Having to use Extrude surface is a great tool for designers.

 

If VW had the ability of using Extracted Surface along with Materials to report in takeoffs, would be a step in the right direction.

To me, this extra and unnecessary work and time.

 

Will keep asking and suggesting.

 

Would be interested to hear from the software engineers or those who have the input at VW

as to how they expect us as end users to accomplish this goal.

 

FWIW

My solution: stack some wall types manually, and use horizontal sections for floorplans, instead of top/plan view. This way you can get an accurate model, plan and sections without waiting for VW to implement some kind of stacked wall solution that plays nicely with the top/plan approach.

Stacked walls would be great. As of now I have a layer for my roof and anything that I want seen on elevation views (like the top wall of stacked walls) but not on floorplan views. Not ideal but it works and makes things simple.
