Hello, I'm sorry for what I'm about to write but it's quite unbearable to see how nothing is changing on the side of doors and windows tools despite the many comments made on this forum and to distributors (design express in my case).
I really do not understand.
Doors and windows are important elements in architecture and they are also industrialized elements. Because of their variable dimensions, parametric tools are necessary to avoid modeling them one by one.
Why is Vectorworks failing to make this tool?
I note that many distributors have created their specific tool and I have tested the following:
American, (former) French, German/Italian, Belgian/French/Dutch, Australian.
NONE allows to have both a correct use and a correct representation in advanced phase of study.
By arguing local specificities, energy was spent for nothing by developing several tools when only one would suffice.
Having worked in Great Britain, Germany and France, no local specificity justifies different tools.
Please stop this.
Would it be possible to concentrate development efforts on a single tool to have a tool that works?
From my point of view, but it is debatable, the express design tool (belgium, france) is the most advanced in terms of options and representation, but it is unusable because badly programmed (long time to draw each element ) and because it doesn't have a style option.
The American tool behaves well, but it does not offer enough representation and drawing options.
Vectorworks, for architects who design spaces and need windows to bring light into their buildings, when are you going to seriously upgrade these tools?
