jpccrodrigues Posted May 17, 2024 Share Posted May 17, 2024 We're developing an irrigation scheme and faced a potential bug in the 2024 version of the software. To work in old projects we still have the 2022 version installed and, as you can see, there is the possibility of adjust the piping preferences following the typology Main Laterial and Drip: In the 2024 version that Tab disappeared: In the project that we are working the default pipe type only applies to the Main Lines, the Lateral Line don't follow the selected preference. That wouldn't be a problem if the project has almost 3000 pipes and 3km of extension... When we try to change manually, the software crashes... So we need to do manual confirmation on the calculations, a waste of time and money... Anybody faced this problem? Any solution besides a bug report? 1 Quote Link to comment

jpccrodrigues Posted May 17, 2024 Author Share Posted May 17, 2024 When vw changes to a subscrition based model, increases the costs and we face this kind of errors... In a new tool, I can understand, but the irrigation workflow doesn't have an upgrade in years. Probabily this comes from the new user interface, really don't understand it. Any way around it? 1 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee bgoff Posted May 17, 2024 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 17, 2024 @jpccrodrigues I am not seeing that on my end. The tabs exist and were not removed in 2024. Try a rest of Vectorworks and see if that solves the issue. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Popular Post Vlado Posted May 17, 2024 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2024 Oh wow, it looks like a general UI bug in Vectorworks. When a tab control is inside a tab control, it doesn't show the tabs. And it's windows only issue it looks. And this is also affecting other dialogs, when there is such tab inside tab condition. Even though I cannot thing of one right now. But the tabs are still there, only collapsed to a line. and you can change them by clicking. Just click around in the space where they are supposed to be (see attached image) and you'll see the controls change. We haven't removed anything. Note, there are 3 tabs, the first two have similar controls, and the third one is different. Which makes it hard to notice when the first and second change. So look for the values, "Default Trench Depth" is different by default. I'll include an image where they are visible for reference I'm sorry for all the inconvenience. We'll fix it in the next update. 6 Quote Link to comment
jpccrodrigues Posted May 17, 2024 Author Share Posted May 17, 2024 @Vlado thanks to look at the problem instead of just assuming that the problem is at the other end... Thanks and have a nice weekend!! Quote Link to comment

Similar issue with the OIP rendering tab earlier... @Tom W. pointed out the issue Quote Link to comment
FranAJA Posted May 20, 2024 Share Posted May 20, 2024 @Vlado I hope some day there will be a way to do piping like irrigation even in the architecture suite. Plumbing and Mech are crucial in the architecture field and what we have at the moment is just an almost useless 2d component. Quote Link to comment
