GaryO1 Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 New to VW- Model set up, won't allow me to choose 8'-1" for Mod Floor 1 Hieght C, It always reverts to 7'-11". DO they have Architect traing cd available for download purchase? Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 It should allow any number you choose. In what format are you entering the value? Quote Link to comment
GaryO1 Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 Feet and inches: 8'-1" seems really strange maybe some disparity with Keybord code or something every thing else seems to work though Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Gary, try entering it without the dash, like this: 8'1 (if you are working in feet & inches, inches are the default and are recognized without the "inch" mark). If that doesn't work, try entering in inches only, like this: 97. HTH's :-) Quote Link to comment
dspearman Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 VW is understanding the dash as a minus sign and doing the calculation correctly. You can use a space to separate the feet units from the inches unit. You will need to use a ' to identify the feet but if the units are set to feet and inches or inches, you will not need the inch marker. Quote Link to comment
GaryO1 Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 Thank you for response. That was It!,I'm not used to their conventions. It reads with the ' and " symbols, but as you said, It's doing the math ! What a trip.Other programs require those symbols. Quote Link to comment
acepernich Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Yes, Vectorworks allows you to use mathematical expressions in it's input boxes. Say, if you want to shorten a line by the width of 3 items, you can just enter the formula w/o figuring out the final lenght first. Example 25'6"-(3*3'4"). Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Gary, The architect training CDs are quite large and therefore not available for download. However, they can be sent overnight at your request. Please contact sales to find out more information: 888-646-4223 or sales@nemetschek.net Quote Link to comment
