Upgrades to the
texturing workflow give you the ability to map textures to different faces of
the same solid modeling object with the ability to rescale and more. You’ll be
able to cut down your texturing time with this efficient and more perceptive way
to freely create custom objects. Additionally, the render tab of the Object
Info Palette has been updated to let you easily view and manage the textures on
the object’s various faces. This feature is not applicable to parametric
objects.

Enhancements to the stair plug-in object introduce interactive placement and reshaping in both 2D and 3D views. With the new rectangle and polygon mode you can easily place a stair between walls or follow a floor opening without measuring distances. Just draw a rectangle or a path and your stair object is placed. You can now use the new tool settings to set the side length, width and total rise of the stair without opening the dialog box. Not to mention you can also use control points to stretch and contract stairs to change the length or curvature within a space.

We’ve simplified ConnectCAD’s device editing workflow in version 2022.
Now, all device databases can be accessed directly from Vectorworks
meaning you’ll spend less time jumping from file to file to edit
devices. We’ve also improved the Device Builder to allow you to create a
new DA device in the builder. But it doesn’t stop there — you’ll also
see improvements to signal type editing. Now you can see all the signal
and connector types in the ConnectCAD setting dialog for easier editing
and management.
