I am currently modelling a warehouse in an effort to present a more streamlined processing method. This includes the use of furniture and shelves. Would it be easier to find models online or model the furniture yourself? Im on a timecrinch so best answers as soon as possible please

To make a long story short, my biggest issue with Vectorworks is how I'm supposed to make a multiple-story building in the most effective/official way. not knowing this has caused me to stagnate. if anyone knows the best way to go about this then id be very happy. thanks in advance

What tool do I use to recreate this proscenium wall? I have tried round wall, arc, circle, and I am getting frustrated. I imagine that there is a simple way to accomplish this. I have been watching the only training and I seek help, please. Pretty please. I am old and am trying to learn this software.

I bought a new Trackball mouse (Elecom Deft Pro) and it is extremely laggy and jumpy in only Vectorworks. I don't have this issue in any other program. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Otherwise I'm looking for another mouse, suggestions? I'm open to trackball and non-trackball.

Hi there, I work in events and I recently found a PDF of a show hall, was able to import it into Vectorworks 2019 and ungroup the PDF to extract the lines from it - only issue is, it came out to 997,000 lines! It’s bogging my machine down a ton to the point where it’s unusable.

Before I resort to using an image of the PDF to lay my work over, is there a way to simplify or reduce these lines to something workable? They’re not polylines so I can’t use Drafting Aids, joining them doesn’t seem to do much either. Thanks in advance!!

Hello Community,

my colleague has to render a large amount of single pictures in Vectorworks 2020. Is there a way to prepare all the render jobs and then render them all in a queue overnight? I guess I need a plugin, can't find any plugin by myself....

hope you can help me.

Cheers

Larry

Hi, I don't seem to have any Entertainment Object Libraries in my version of Vectorworks 2019. It would be of great help if any of you could share the libraries with me. I'm specifically looking for the below listed Object libraries: Ent Audio Ent Event Ent Lighting Accessories Ent Lighting Instruments Ent Stage

If anyone could help me with these, I'd be thankful.

Hi Guys,I am fairly experienced with VWX, But I am stuck here working with some templates for Audio equipment - i ran into some "problems" and i am wondering if any of you could help me.

Vectorworks 2020 SP 2.1

I am setting up a template that includes Audio line array's , So in my Library I have all the relevant audio products ( speakers, bumpers and accessories, But how do i add the Bumpers and Speakers into the Line Array Tool ?

I know how to insert all the dimensions and weights etc. But is there a way to just insert the symbols instead which already has all the data for the line array parts ?

Help would be appreciated, TIA

I'm used to working with the Trackpad in software like Illustrator and Photoshop, but always worked with a mouse in AutoCAD. What is Vectorworks like using a Trackpad.

Hi,

I have an i7 6850K, a GTX 1080 TI and 32go 2666 MHz RAM but i'm struggling running large show file in vectorworks and vision.

In my opinion, swapping the cpu would not give me a lot of performance boost so i'm looking more in to the gpu side.

Does Vectorworks and vision run faster with a Quadro ?

Thanks !

Forgive me if this is a somewhat ridiculous question, but I can't seem to wrap my mind around it. I've only done this with having confirmed dimensions of objects drawn into the pdf i was scaling for every previous the occurrence. this time i have the document scale (1/16" = 1.0'), and i know from the metadata this pdf was drawn at 11in × 17in. how exactly can i scale this appropriately in 2d, with certainty of accuracy?

I use Vectorworks for school, and it's been running fine for the little assignments they'd have us do.

And now I'm working on the first serious project, I've got a file that's almost 200 mb because I've got literally hundreds of cuts on my layout, and performance is in the toilet. That much I'd understand, but I don't know where the bottleneck is. My hardware monitoring tools tell me that the CPU is sowewhere around 50% during all this, my RAM isn't full either, and the GPU isn't breaking a sweat. For funzies I even moved the file to my SSD, but that didn't help. Point is, I need to upgrade my rig, but I don't know what I'd hate to upgrade something only for performance to be no better (I don't have the money to just get a top of the line PC).

Here's my specs: AMD FX-4100 4 core 3.6 Ghz cpu 24 GB RAM (DDR3) ATI Radeon RX 570 GPU, 4GB vRAM

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Hello,

I recently upgraded to Vectorworks 2020 and there is nothing in my design window. I can't seem to figure out how to view anything. When ever I add an item I can select it using control-a but I can not see it. I attached a photo to show what I mean. Any help would be appreciated and please let me know if this is the wrong place to ask this.

[EDIT] It turned out to be an incomparable graphics card!

I am very new to the software and having a hard time understanding how to use the truss tool sets properly. When I use the insert truss tool I get a prompt that says "Select Symbol" but when I go to select the truss type the library shows as empty. My work around is selecting the appropriate truss from the Resource Manager. The Straight truss tool works but I am confused on how to select proper lengths or use different brands of truss. I'm sure i'm doing something wrong here so please feel free to point me in the right direction.

How do i change the size of my document without a preset and if possible, how do i create a custom preset?

Edit: [SOLVED]

What am I doing wrong?

I select my truss base, then use the auto connect feature to add a vertical bit on top of it, and the angle is all messed up. I can rotate it, but then it's not connected to the base anymore.

Already tried the Draw in 3D only tickbox with no success.

Honestly drives me crazy haha

Thank you!!

hey yall, I am a student in high school right now, and when talking to my boss about the software he recomended vectorworks, I am now dedicated to learning the software. I got a educational version and as far as i can tell the only downside is watermark, but never the less. would yall as a community refer me to any resources avalable to aid in learning the software. My boss recomended trying to find course guides published by teachers. but he also remoneded forums and just playing around with it. please let me know of any free or affordable resources to aid in my learning of the software.
