Creating a New Project Preference Set

While VectorWorks Architect installs 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

Room Finish Library.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.

Adding a Project Preference Set

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.

 

Parameter	Description
Path	Enter or browse for the path to the project preference set folder
Name	Specifies a name for this project preference set

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.
