michaelk Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Wall styles are in the resource browser. You can export to a "library" vectorworks file or include it in a template file. hth mk Quote Link to comment

michaelk Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I think I see what you're asking. Try this. Create the wall you want in a blank file. Save that file. Move it to ~/Library/Application Support/Vectorworks/2016/Libraries/Defaults/Walls~Slabs~Roofs/Metric . On a Mac you have to use the Finder "Go" menu and hold down the option key to see the Library folder. Windows will probably let you save the folder directly there. Once that .vwx file containing that resource is in that folder it will show up as a default wall style in all new drawings. hth mk Quote Link to comment

One for users and one that is stock content. So the user folder (Library/Application Support/Vectorworks…) will be empty until you put something in it. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Just noticed that you are using 2012. I don't think that changes anything. The UI is a little different in 2016. Especially noticeable w/ Spotlight resources. Edited November 18, 2015 by michaelk Quote Link to comment
