Donald Ward replied to Bill Dady's discussion 'Find/Replace Text?'
Hi Bill,
Are you working on a Mac or PC? The reason I ask is because if you are working on a Mac there could be an issue with the colon in the text. When the Mac OS is try to locate a file it uses a : as its path separators.
i.e.…
Donald Ward replied to tammy r tatom's discussion 'problems in custom renderworks'
It's hard to say what is happening without more information. The best option is to contact your local distributor for technical support so they can help troubleshoot this issue. Are you using saved views or viewports to help generate…
Donald Ward replied to Drew Otway's discussion 'Worksheet multiplying Hardscape areas by 3'
First you need to make the database header row visible, which can be done in the worksheet edit mode by clicking on the little arrow underneath the red X. Once the database header row is visible right click on the database header row, the row that…

An easy way to find duplicated objects in your document is when you are in the worksheet edit mode right click on a row 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, etc... and choose 'select item' Vectorworks will find the object for you and center it on your screen.…
Donald Ward replied to Damara Sisti's discussion 'Roof Face vs Roof'
Make sure you have the proper mode selected for the connect/combined tool and make sure that you are clicking side of the roof that you want to join. You also want to make sure that the roof faces and/or geometry are at intersecting angles. If…

Select the roof and/or roof face and make sure it has a solid fill in the attributes palette.
Donald Ward replied to Damara Sisti's discussion 'Viewports Disappearing!'
Hi Damara,
Most likely the viewport was assigned to a class that was set to invisible when you navigated back to the sheet layer. It is best practice to associate viewports with the 'None' class as this is a class that you would…
Donald Ward replied to Damara Sisti's discussion 'Viewports Disappearing!'
Remember every object in Vectorworks is alway associated with a Layer and a Class. If you have viewports disappearing on you when using saved views and then returning to the sheet layer, once your on your sheet layer to on all of your classes. Once…
Donald Ward replied to Damara Sisti's discussion 'Roof Face vs Roof'
This is a new option in Vectorworks-2011 you can use the connect/combine tool in the basic tool palette to join a roof face to a roof object, but they will still be two independent objects. Unfortunately there is not an option to make a roof face…

Donald Ward replied to Gordon Manson's discussion 'Scale issue in VW 2011'
Are you printing from your design layer or sheet layer using viewports?
If you are printing from your design layer and have multiple layers its possible that one or more of your design layers could be set to a different scale. Right click in a blank…
Donald Ward replied to William Page's discussion 'Destroy List'
It's hard too say without looking at your file? You may need to update the drivers of your video card, it could be a complex piece of geometry causing the file to render slow, it could be your OpenGL render settings, you may need to update to…
Donald Ward replied to William Page's discussion 'Destroy List'
The destroy list is not doing anything to the file or data in the file. The destroy list command that you are seeing is part of engineering lingo. When you are in a rendered view other than OpenGL if you zoom in, zoom out, pan or rotate in 3D…
Donald Ward replied to Derek Ashby's discussion 'Vectorworks to Autocad file set up'
Although some new import and export options have been added with newer versions these video tech tips should help you better understand what is happening during the file translation.

Donald Ward replied to Steve Rice's discussion 'Windows in Gable Roof Walls'
Hi Steve,
This workflow is easier with VW Architect or VW Designer due to a command under the AEC menu called "fit walls to roof". You can still do this with VW Landmark, but it requires more clicks. Ungrouping the roof is a quicker and…

I sent you and Juan an e-mail earlier this afternoon about using up my third paid session on VW basics that I had subscribed to some time ago. I used up 2 of the 3 that I paid $180 US for. I really need an hour of basics as I am still struggling.
cheers,
