With new Viewport Styles in Vectorworks 2024, you'll be able to save custom viewport settings as styles, making them easily transferrable between viewports and project files. You'll be able to cut out the tedium of replicating your viewport settings and avoid errors. Create custom styles that let you change scale
or class and layer visibility so you can change from client-facing drawings to
more detailed construction plans quickly and easily. Quickly generate presentations from your section
viewports by changing class visibilities, cut plane attributes, and
visibilities at the cut plane and beyond. Easily interchange different rendering modes,
foreground and background rendering settings, and image effects. You can also
save your data visualization settings as Viewport Styles for faster
application.
