Scheven, sure, you can copy and paste walls from one storey to another. The pasted walls will automatically take on their correct Z value in the building and if properly configured, will also adjust their heights to the value assigned to that storey.
Hi there, I'm currently using vectorworks for studying but still not familiar with this program. I tried to change the view into 3d but only the layer I picked changed so, it was like only the ceiling layer changed but the others were still in the top view. could you plz tell me how I can change this set up?
seriously, why do you have to make everything so complicated. just to make a 2 story house, your telling me I have to dive into the program, navigate through 4 different option windows, specify values, and then i can start to create?? As architects our struggle in terms of workflow is the amount of time it takes to achieve the end result. we need to be able to maximize all of our time as much as possible with simplified options. almost every program i have used requires a few clicks, if any, to achieve what i would have to in vectorworks with 15 clicks... moving a wall in vectorworks is incredibly involved, so much so that I get frustrated and end up deleting it all together and redrawing. I really shouldnt have to tell vectorworks i need This wall to connect to that wall.. or drag it into one another until it finally joins with a tool. thats taking it to a whole other level that is just annoying.
Thought I was one of that opinion, Vectorworks is killing the urge to use this software,I think this is one of the reasons why it is not popular amount of work that needs to be put in exceeds common sense.

Erin, you have to select "Unified View" at the top of the drawing window. Keep it up, you'll get hooked on 3D, believe me.
Very good Video. Amazing programm! I am drawing with vectoworks in 2D for carpenter :)

Can't you just copy the walls from one storey to another?
