matteoluigi Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hi, we are working very intensively with the data manager and want to use our datamanager-sets we already created in Vectorworks 2020 in Vectorworks 2021, too. However now exporting the new structural grid objects to ifc doesn't work with our data manager-set. The "Structural grid object" doesn't appear in our data manager sets and everytime I add the Plugin-Object "StructuralGrid" (in german it's called "Achse") manually, I only can add the pset "IfcGrid". I cannot choose "IfcGridAxis" (which must be the right option instead) When I reset the Datamanager to "basic defaults" instead (don't know how the menu item is called in english) the "structural grid" PIO appears in the data manager and the pset "IfcGridAxis" suddenly appears for "Structural Grid". I don't know how it happened. However, adding the pset "ifcGridAxis" isn't possible at all. Why? How can I implement the structural grid object in my own Datamanager-set and make it work properly? rasterexportifc.vwx.zip 1 Quote Link to comment
matteoluigi Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 now i solved it by myself, just by comparing the "basic defaults" set with our own set in visual studio code. (works in a xml-editor as well) However, it's not a satisfying solution, or, why does there exist a datamanager in Vectorworks? 1 Quote Link to comment
matteoluigi Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 now I need to repeat this work and I don't get it done can anyone suggest me a good working xml-editor? I can't solve my problem with the data manager and need a good XML-Editor. @JBenghiat @Pat Stanford @Hugues sorry for bothering, but does anyone of you know a good xml-editor for mac? And, y the heck can't I add the entity "ifcgridaxis" to the data manager? I have been able to copy and paste the code, the last time, now it doesn't work...

JBenghiat Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Visual Studio Code will give you syntax completion and code folding. I believe it also does some error checking. Off the top of my head, I don't know anything like the old Plist Editor that gives you more of a UI for editing the XML. Quote Link to comment

On the left side one window with 2 tabs, on the right side one tab. It’s good, better then nothing but not satisfying... i will try the plist editor and give visual studio code another chance thanks!! Quote Link to comment
