While the Vectorworks Architect product installs with six project preference sets, it supports the use of an unlimited number. To add preference sets beyond the default options, manually create additional preference folders and then add the set to the list of defined sets using the VA Set Project Prefs command.
The project preference set folder must contain the following files for correct operation:
● Door Hardware Library.txt
● Equipment Record.txt
● Equipment Schedule.txt
● Plumbing Fixt Record.txt
● Plumbing Schedule.txt
● VA2 Records and Schedules.txt
● VA_Project_Set.txt
If additional records and schedules are defined using the VA Records and Schedules command, their data files are stored in the project preference set folder.
After creating a project preference set, add it to the list of project preference sets available:
1. Select Tools > Options > VA Set Project Prefs.
2. The VA Preference Sets dialog box opens. Click Add.
The Add Preference Set dialog box opens. Specify the name and location of the project preference set.
Click to show/hide the parameters.
3. Click OK to return to the VA Preference Sets dialog box. To use the new project preference set, select it from the list and click Done.
