@Wes Gardner & @JuanP I don't know if you have any say in this matter, but you are the most responsive VW employees to these requests on the forums (apologies if I'm forgetting anyone):
With the 2021 introduction of Materials and the new smart markers, there is a real need for updated model setup guides, sample files, and tutorials. I have to believe that you have test files at different project scales that were made as part of development and testing, and would love for those to be made available to your customers.
My office does primarily single family residences, so I'm looking for updated versions of the three items linked below. Others will likely have similar resources that would be helpful to them. For me, the best way to understand the changes would be to reverse engineer a well made model & drawing set. The guides and set-up tutorials that have been made available (in various places) in the past have also been great. My first priority would be getting a 2021 sample file with recommended best practices for document set up, including:
Smart Markers - indicating where in the document to place markers (Design layer, Sheet Layer, SLVP Annotations?), and backlinked drawing labels
Structural Grids - including in plan, section, elevation, detail (?) SLVPs
Title Block - updated capabilities
I really don't understand why all of these materials aren't updated annually and released in conjunction with each year's product launch, and why @Jonathan Pickup and @JRA-Vectorworks-CAD can post in-depth tutorials on YouTube & their sites before VW does.
