Benjamin Moore Classics Pallet Missing majority of colors

[S. Schmidt]

Benjamin Moore Classic Colors palette stops at #232 missing the majority of the catalogue (The actual catalog goes up to 1680 so this is missing almost the entire line of paints)

Not sure what I'm missing here, can't find a way to bring the full line of colors up. Have tried from the color picker, from inside the reproduces browser when making a texture as well. The bulk of the BM colors are missing everywhere. 

 

Am I missing something or is this a bug? When I search about Benjamin Moore I get threads from over 10 years ago.

Are you using 2022? I'm seeing the same thing where it's truncated at #232. In VW2021 it goes all the way to #1680.

 

If you're in a bind, you can take the attached xml and place it in your User Folder folder under Libraries > Defaults > Color Palettes. This is a custom palette I made in the past with all the Classic and Historical colors combined into one palette. I think you'll have to restart VWX then it should appear in the list of palettes.

Thank you! 
I am using 2022 and it appears to be new with this installation. I’ve been pulling Benjamin Moore swatches for years because it’s our go to paint in my org. 
 

I appreciate the help with the work around but I also want to make sure if it’s a big it gets attention.

The forum is not guaranteed to get VW staff support.

@S. Schmidt Did you send and get an answer from the bug-submit site? I ran into the same problem. I use an educational version, maybe that they therefore don't give the whole library, but I am not sure. 

I saw on the Benjamin Moore website that they have a lot of color libraries to export for Adobe, SketchUp, but not for VW.

Hi @S. Schmidt, this was a 2022 only bug that was fixed in the latest version of Vectorworks (2023). Our apologies for the inconvenience. I've attached a zip that includes the latest Benjamin Moore color palettes for Vectorworks (including the updated Classics palette). You can add this to your installation of Vectorworks by replacing the existing (xml) files with the latest files via your "Users" folder.  For instances, on a Mac computer the path look likes this: /Users/.../Libraries/Defaults/Color Palettes --see image below.

 

 

Let me know if you have any other questions.

 

Best Regards,

 

Mariam
