Vectorworks Round-Tripping

VWX to GrandMA Workflow 
 To export model, must be in SPOTLIGHT workspace (or add MVR functionality to Designer (or Architect or Landmark - if you’re a psychopath) 
 Switch to Spotlight Workspace Turn off all things you don’t want to export Export —> MVR (visible only) 
 Roundtripping, I.e., importing an MVR back into VWX doesn’t work currently. All geometry comes back broken.  
 To bring that file into MA First Show hidden files on windows in order to display ProgramData in C 
 File Explorer Options —> View —>Show Hidden Files 
 Navigate to ProgramData/MALightinhgTechnology/gma3_x.x.x/shared/resource/lib_mvr 
 Import MVR 
 
 In grandMA3, go to [Menu] → {Patch} 
 Press {Import MVR} in the lower right corner 
 Choose the correct drive from the top right corner 
 Select the desired file and import it 
 Exit out of Patch, saving changes 
 
 This will import the file at 0,0 and the floor is the same as VWX.
