Santiago B Ribas Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I am in the process of moving a Uniclass file structure (Excel worksheet) into VW2011. How can I accomplish this task without having to key in all the thousands of classes again into VW? If the answer is the use of the "Class and Layer Mapping", can someone please explain me how to use this tool: I create and save a set of new Proposed Classes, and VW just saves as a blank TXT file........ How can I use the new Proposed Classes?? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Miguel Barrera Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 This thread may be helpful Uniclass template Another way of doing this would be with a script to transfer the names in excel (csv format) to VW classes. Quote Link to comment
Santiago B Ribas Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 Thanks Miguel, It is a starting point. I want to use all the P, G and J Uniclass tables (perhaps to much work, but I want to be prepared for detail drawings, and schedules) I have discovered a nice plug-in called Merge Organizations, that helped me exporting my actual classe structure into a txt file, so I now can use my excel tables, and load them back to VW via this plug in. Thanks Quote Link to comment
Chris D Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 If it helps I've uploaded one of our templates which has classes partially based on the Uniclass system. http://techboard.vectorworks.net/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=154775 Quote Link to comment
