[Vectorworks 2013 German Torrent
Eliora Shopbell
Hello everyone
I have a question for all of you and I hope you can help me.
I am currently working in Germany and learning Vectorworks. This means I know all the german shortcuts.
When I use Vectorworks at home, using an english version, all the shortcut are totally different. Sometimes I just know the shortcut and not the command. This makes me really confused. Is there a way to set my vectorwork as the german one? Or is it maybe because now I am using vectorworks 2022 instead of 2021?
Thank you very much ?
The shortcuts (and much more) are set by your Workspace. I'm not sure if there are Workspace compatibility issues between the German & English versions, but typically you can copy your Workspace from one machine to the other. Look for a .VWW file, which could be in the application folder, user folder, or workgroup folder, depending on the setup. On a Mac you can find this via Tools->Workspaces->Workspaces...->Reveal in Finder. I'm not sure what the Windows option is, but I assume it's similar.
I don't know if you can use the German workspace directly in the English version. I know there are a number of tools/commands that exist in the German (Computerworks) version that are not standard in the English (Vectorworks) version.
Currently i am staying here in Germany and i need to start learning vector works. One of my friend told me to start learning with deutsch version as he mentioned some differences between English and deutsch version.

Hi there, I am really struggling to find the 'Clip tool' which looks like a pink & blue eraser..its usually in my Basics palette on VWX 2016, but just moved over to VWX 2018 (And in German, which im still learning) Have tried to find it by searching the german word for clip tool but cant find! Any tips? Thanks so much..
To really find out what it's called in German and where it is you can go to Tools > Workspaces > Edit Current Workspace > Tool Tab > Open "Basic" > Open "View Draw" and look for the pink and blue eraser. For me it's near the very bottom of the list. If you want to, you can reposition it on the list to make it easier to find.
Thanks for quick reply. Ive just done exactly what you have said but the symbol is just not there in my Basics palette at all (went to double check by going through your exact instructions). No pinnk & Blue eraser tool symbol anywhere - not even at the very bottom! Any other thoughts? Thank you!
When I do training, one of the first things I tell users (new or old) is that if you see a little triangle in VW it means they are hiding something from you and you probably want to figure our what it is that is being hidden. Sometimes it is something really good.
This is the german Vectorworksforum. Therefore it is much easier for us to answer German inquiries. If you want to ask your questions in English, it is also recommended to use the English forum.
In partnership with Laubwerk, Vectorworks 2023 adds a new, extensive library of 3D plant geometry with wide varieties of detail levels, growth stages, seasonal changes, and levels of detail. Laubwerk Plants are ready for Vectorworks users to integrate into their planting styles, or on their own. Add better 3D plant representation for documentation and collaboration, while maintaining manageable file sizes!
German landscape architect Sebastian Riesop, partner at WKM Landschaftsarchitekten GmbH, Dsseldorf, has been using Laubwerk Plants since 2013 and Vectorworks Landmark since the late 1990s. He praises the new Vectorworks integration: "The new Laubwerk tool and plant objects let us visualize trees and shrubs with incredible ease, accuracy, and speed. With just a few clicks, we can adjust the level of abstraction, size, and habit, and even select the seasons. The Laubwerk tool now lets us show plants from all perspectives, in the right way for all design phases."
Vectorworks 2023 Landmark and Design Suite users receive instant access to 145 Laubwerk Plants (Plants Kits Freebie, and most of Plants Kit 1-15*), representing species or cultivars of trees, palms, and shrubs. Vectorworks 2023 Architect and Spotlight include five Laubwerk Plants from the Laubwerk Plants Kit Freebie. All Laubwerk Plants that a customer purchases independently of Vectorworks will also be available inside of Vectorworks 2023.
Users can purchase additional Laubwerk Plants Kits (1-16) directly at the Laubwerk Store, or from your favorite authorized Laubwerk reseller. Additional plant species and cultivars will be available soon.

I am moving to Germany, and I was wondering if anyone knew how hard or easy it would be to find a job at an architecture firm if I do not know german. City is non-specific.
I know there are interntional programs for working abroad, but I am trying to avoid that process.
Can an english speaking architect find a job in germany? Do you know of any firms that are looking for english speaking architects?
Thanks
I did an internship there, not knowing German. It's a very exceptional case... definetely not easy. I think your only possibility will be with an international firm or an internationally recognized firm. Go for the big names - these are the ones who have experience working for and working with people outside of germany. Unfortunately the job situation, especially for architects, is not great right now. Firms there sometimes have a tendency to pick people just for a few weeks and then let them go, conditions that would be unacceptable to many Americans.
but definetely, definetely try to learn the language. it will make your life easier and gain you more respect if you at least have a basic understanding.
viel glueck
it is very difficult for even german architects to find work in germany at the moment, particularly in berlin. since there are so many unemployed architects around who speak german and are familiar with german building codes and practices, i think it would be quite difficult to find work without speaking at least basic german. if you are really set on moving to germany, then perhaps try munich, hamburg or stuttgart, where things are a bit better (but still difficult in comparison to other western european countries).
Does the current situation in Berlin or Germany in general make it any better for interns? Would firms be more willing to hire lower paid interns? I'll be graduating in May and was hopping to make the move to Berlin. I have about a years worth of office experience, and will have a masters degree in Business as well as Architecture. Although I'm very willing to learn the language I do not currently speak German. While there last year, I also noticed several firms using a German program rather than AutoCAD, would this be easy to learn? I'd appreciate the advice. Thanks
