No Rush Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I can't find wall tools in my "19" Vectorworks and would like to get it back. Any idea's? Quote Link to comment
Bret Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 If you're using VW Fundamentals v2019 and have just transitioned from v2018, the ability to use wall tools was taken away, among other things. You should be able to see the wall tools in the Tool Sets palette (at least, I can in v2020), but you won't be able to use them. If that's not your situation, someone else will have to chime in...

Pat Stanford Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 If the entire palette is missing, go to the Window menu, Palettes, and make sure the Tool Sets palette is turned on. If the Tool Sets palette is turned on, check that it did not get resized so small that the tools are not showing. Are there other tools besides the wall that are not showing in the Building Shell or other set? Try switching to a different workspace (Tools menu: Workspaces) and see if it shows there.

I've just started to use the new Vectorworks 2020 fundamental with render works. The wall tool is not in the palettes. I've been using Vectorworks for years, it's very useful. How can I find it or get it back? Quote Link to comment
Seomra Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 hi just bought 2021 fundamentals and have the same issue - cant see wall tools and all palettes are on - could anyone advise? Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Unfortunately Wall Tools are no more included in VW Fundamentals. Quote Link to comment
Seomra Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 do we know why it has been removed? seems an odd removal or is there an altenative? many thanks Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 It was always a bit contradictory why Fundamentals has one of the PIOs of VW Architecture like Wall Tool. Why not also Slabs, Doors and Windows .... So lately someone decided obviously for cleaning. Now the differentiation between VW versions is more consistent. But of course it is problematic and always hurts if you remove existing features. Quote Link to comment
asacrepaye Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Are there any other quick and easy ways to create walls then? And have them automatically joining too? Quote Link to comment
Vera Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I have also noticed the same issue. The wall tool has been removed. I have copied walls over from other drawing and they can be edited on Vectorworks 2019 to create new walls. Quote Link to comment
Kimlyn Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I also upgraded to 2021 Vectorworks Fundamentals, expecting all the same features and now half of them have been removed. I find this very disappointing as I would of looked into getting a different program if this was the case. I've just spent a lot of money on this new program and I can't do my work for my clients.

Lila Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 How are WALLS not fundamental to drafting! I've been using Vectorworks Fundamentals for more than 20 years. My recent upgrade to 2021 says these are not available for my use. FIX THIS!!! 1 Quote Link to comment
