techdef Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Well, this video showed me something I've been dying to do - how to properly tag walls for fire & acoustics!? How oh how pray tell does one specify Fire Rating and STC for walls, doors etc? This is SUPER useful to be so buried. Is there a tutorial for all this I've missed someplace? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Guest SMannVW Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Here's a quick screen recording that shows where you can find data in the walls and doors data tab. The video also shows a quick workflow of how you might manage and display that information using the new data manager and live visualization. Vectorworks 2020 comes with a preformatted BIM Data Sheet that should help you manage commonly used IFC Data. IFC Data Management.mp4 Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Data Visualization existed in VW2019 in Viewports only. In VW2020 this is extended to Design Layers. It allows you to selectively and non-destructively apply color (line & fill) to elements based on criteria giving important visual feedback on the Data that's embedded in your model. The colors are customizable. The criteria look up Data about objects in your drawing, eg an Objects Parameter value a Record Format's Field value an IFC Entity a Vectorworks Function DVs can be reconfigured & saved for repeated use. so cool Edited September 12, 2019 by bcd Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) @SMannVW Thanks for posting this short screen recording. I have very little experience with IFC - so I sort of got lost at that point, and not having sound with the video - I didn’t know exactly what you were doing. Is it required to use IFC to do the 1-Hour Wall Rating live visualization as your video demonstrated? On a side note: Quick videos like this really demonstrate how important it is for Vw to promptly release training tutorials about new features like this immediately after the Vw version release. New tools are great, but they are of limited use if we the users don’t know how to use them. Thanks again for posting the screen recording, I’ll be looking forward to more of them in the future.

Hans-Olav Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 @SMannVW Do you know how to solvemy problem? On 9/6/2019 at 11:38 AM, Hans-Olav said: Hi I´m working on a model with lots of self-made 3d elements (solids, extrudes ) in combination with slabs, roofs and other native elements. I have to export the model in IFC format. Is there a way to use date visualization to color drawing elements with a IFC record attached? - or elements without IFC to easily find those that is missing. I'm not able to figure out how to build the search criteria. Anyone? @Robert Anderson ? Quote Link to comment
techdef Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 @SMannVW, Thanks so much for that. The video I took my screenshot from showed pull-downs for fire & acoustic ratings. Do you know how to achieve that? Quote Link to comment
Guest SMannVW Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 @rDesign IFC isn't required for Live Data Visualization. The tool has the ability to query all of the data in your file, from plug-in object parameters, to record formats, to IFC Data. @techdef The functions work very much the same way as creating worksheet criteria. It's a matter of attaching the data to the object either through a record format, filling out a data field for a plug-in object, or adding the information to the IFC Data set. This video covers some workflows that hopefully answers both of your question. We have a new training website for learning Vectorworks and I'll be posting more content there in the near future: https://university.vectorworks.net Door Data Management & Visualization.mp4 Quote Link to comment
Guest SMannVW Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 @Hans-Olav Here's a quick screen recording of a Data Visualization that shows objects within a model that do not have IFC Records attached. I hope this helps. Special thanks to @jblock, @ASagatovVW, and @BSeigel from our Customer Success Team for brainstorming the idea and helping me find a simple answer.
