Markus Barrera-Kolb Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Does anyone know whether it's possible to display window & door ID tags, using either the native VW PIOs or WinDoor objects (preferably the the latter, actually), in elevation views? I haven't been able to find a way to do this, but for us it would be a huge benefit in generating our permit and construction drawings! Thanks, Cheers, Markus Quote Link to comment
wvancampen Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Not that I know of, but I agree it would be great. I have been wishlisting this for a long time. Quote Link to comment
billtheia Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I'd love that too. Quote Link to comment
Markus Barrera-Kolb Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 Up until now we'd been drawing our projects in 2D, but I'd assumed that this functionality was a given -- after all, the data is there, attached to the PIOs, and coordination between plan views and elevation views is one of the key ways in which BIM functionality would really make the chore of constructing a 3D model worthwhile... is it truly not implemented yet? Seems kinda pathetic. Quote Link to comment
ottoLejeune Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Was this ever looked into? It's only been 2 1/2 years on the wish list... ?? Quote Link to comment
VincentCuclair Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) Don't think so but if you are prepared to pay for it WinDoor by Ozcad does....... Edited May 7, 2012 by Vincent C Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 It's not possible. I formally added to the wish list the other day, although I'm sure it's been asked for many times before: http://techboard.vectorworks.net/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=170136 Quote Link to comment
Chris D Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 The UK distributor has asked for this, so hopefully that carries some weight. Quote Link to comment
Chris D Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 It's been said many times before, but this omission again appears to show that NV don't have enough practising architects on their staff or in their beta programme. You can't put a window in an elevation without a reference so how come we have to tell NV this in 2012? Quote Link to comment
Itchy Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Don't think so but if you are prepared to pay for it WinDoor by Ozcad does....... But when you render it in Hidden line (my elevations) all i get is the circle around the window ID and not the text itself. Unless there is a setting that i am missing? Quote Link to comment
Christian Fekete Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 what is that another plugin that you need to buy? incredible, how much is it? Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Ian, that is a bug... Quote Link to comment
Itchy Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Ian, that is a bug... Guess i would need to upgrade to 2012 for that to be fixed. Or 2013 which is just around the corner. Quote Link to comment
ottoLejeune Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Do we know if WinDoor will be built into VW 2013? That would be a great step forward for the VW folks. More BIM. More control. Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Don't think so but if you are prepared to pay for it WinDoor by Ozcad does....... Not on Section Viewports it doesn't. Because Section Viewports in v2012 don't support planar objects. Joke. Quote Link to comment
VincentCuclair Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) It costs 100 Aussie dollars....it ships with the Aussie version but needs to be bought separately for international users and I seem to recall someone stating it is not possible for US user to purchase it?! There are mainly only positive things to say about WinDoor including excellent support, and instantaneous bug fixing and wish list implementation (within limits), (remember though there is a time-zone lag ). The only thing that is slightly worse than the native tool are the lack of many settings in the OIP, meaning quick editing of numerous objects simultaneously is not so good, (there are however other ways of changing settings on multiple objects).

bc Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 WINDOOR can most definitely be purchased in the US. I have my own older version and I am even in the wilds of Montana. Quote Link to comment
Kizza Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I seem to recall someone stating it is not possible for US user to purchase it It is not possible for VW US version licence holders residing in Australia to purchase Windoor. Quote Link to comment
bc Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 It is not possible for VW US version licence holders residing in Australia to purchase Windoor. What sense does that make? What is the rationale there? Quote Link to comment
Kizza Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Not wanting to deny the boys at Ozcad a living, but it seems that I'm cornered in regard to Windoor. Which is why I'm probably going to ditch VW. Ozcad, care to comment on this? Edited August 25, 2012 by Kizza Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Kizza, if you have the Australian version of Designer then you will have Windoor so how are you cornered? Quote Link to comment
bc Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Not wanting to deny the boys at Ozcad a living So they refuse to let people buy their product? I don't think not selling to US users in Australia is what they meant. Edited August 25, 2012 by bc Quote Link to comment

bc Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 OK, so you have a US version. You call up Ozcad and say, "I want to buy your product." And they says, "no thanks, we don't want to sell to you because you live here?" Doesn't anyone else think this is weird business? Quote Link to comment

And they says, "no thanks, we don't want to sell to you because you live here?" Doesn't anyone else think this is weird business? I would need to upgrade to the Australian version of VW to get Windoor, is the official word. Question is, What if I don't want to upgrade to 2013? What if I can't afford to do so? So based purely on my geographical location, I am presently unable to expand on VW's window and door capability by purchasing WinDoor. MikeM: Cornered.
