Space tool 2018

[cberg]

I am saddened to exclaim "Ugh!" with the "improvements" to this tool. 

 

When you translate 2017 spaces into VW 2018 , the field value formats associated with the legacy space go haywire and need to be reestablished.  In one of my spaces, the room area field morphed into a display room perimeter field.   In another of my spaces all my areas and room dimensions disappeared upon import. 

 

100 "customizable" fields sounds amazing in promotional literature, but it sure makes for a messy object info palette.

 

Complexity and contradiction = the price of progress? :-)

I am really struggling with this tool!  I am having a problem where my space label assignments cannot access the complete set of data associated with the space tool.  The following dialogue box appears.  However whichever selection I make, clicking OK doesn't do anything.

Thank you!! 

 

2018 SP 1 Seems to have resolved these issues with the Space Tool.  :-)

I'm glad the fixes were what you needed! It can be hard between SPs where I'm not sure if something listed as a fix will be what the users actually need, so I held my tongue on this one.
