I think you found it. You would then add items to the menu

Don't be shy, Pick the tall one and post it online. It's Saturday, gives everybody something to critique. The Ai visualizer has been taking up some time. It's good to see good old hard work paying off. Paul

Paul You choose one and I will send it to you via direct message 🙂

Yes, why don't you post a closeup. They look great. Paul

Hey Paul 🙂 Yes I did render that scene in C4d. I sort of default to C4d for all interior Renderings. Just force of habit these days. But yes, all of what you see was created in VW. Even those cure little 3d fishes and the coral and plants! I imported those items, actually, did not model them. Too much work !🙂 I can upload a closer view of one of the aquariums, if you wish. I just wanted to do a wide view so folks could see all of them.

HI Kevin, Those are fantastic. I am assuming you rendered In C4D, but did you build in VW or C4D? Paul

Your file has highlighted two bugs with the Offset Accessory workflow. The first is that the Instrument should offset, not the accessory and the second is that only an X and Z-axis offset is available, whereas there should be both X, Y, and Z offsets available. I will post a bug report and see where it goes.

Just watched the VW official video on the device tool, https://university.vectorworks.net/mod/overview/view.php?id=6732 At around 1:30 they talk about the pickup/apply attribute modes. I love the functionality of these modes but have sometimes noticed unexpected behavior when applying attributes. This video shows exactly some of the unexpected behavior. When the attributes are applied in the video, one of LAN sockets is moved from the left side to the right side and the newly applied sockets are now placed in wonky positions that don't match the source device. Why does this happen?

Hi, I managed to add buttons to the mode bar but I'd like to add a drop down and a text field like this: Anybody any idea? I've managed to found the function `vs.vstAddPDMenuMode()` but I think that's not what I am looking for. Thanks! Sting

I created several 3d Aquariums that may be appropriate to include within an interior Rendered scene. Feel free to inquire.

@VIRTUALENVIRONS Thank you for the kind words, To answer your question. I have used AI only very minimally for any professional work. With all of the ethical concerns about how the AI models were built, and who gave consent for their work to be used, and who is (or isn't) getting compensated for the use of copyrighted images, I can't ethically justify getting compensated myself for AI generated content. Here is the one exception so far. For an exhibit design, we were proposing a wall of portraits, in the end they would be real photos of people from the local community. For the concept sketch I generated several portraits of random (not real) people to get the idea across. In one other case, I used AI to generate a landscape scene with specific elements that I could take to a professional mural painter and say "Here is a reference for what we are looking for. Can you make something like this, but bigger, better and in your artistic style?" Admittedly, I did both of these with some trepidation. I'm still not 100% confident even these uses are without some unintended consequences on the Creative community. Like @Luis M Ruiz I'm in the exploratory phases. But I have broad concerns about the legality and ethics of AI. I am also convinced that it is here to stay. So, I want to be an knowledgeable advocate for Creatives as best as I can.

Why are the wall reshape add wall peaks handles offset from the actual points?

Thank you!

The error sounds pretty self explanatory. What is the name and the path of the file? When I was working in Kuwait, certain Arabic characters would create errors like this in some programs, especially older backup software.

@FMA, It's not really broken. The Poly() command is expected to create objects with 3 or more vertices . Typically, the Line is your go to 2-vertex object. You got lucky that BeginPoly works the way you want. If you have problems with Undo in the future, try building objects in a more classical fashion. Until such time, enjoy what seems to be working. Raymond PS - Thanks for the signature.

Hello guys, I have an error on my cloud services whenever I upload my project file—tried to make a new file still have the same error.

With Vectorworks' AI Visualizer being so new (launched about a month ago), it's difficult to say definitively how it's integrating into professional workflows. Like many users, I'm currently in the phase of exploration – testing its features and uncovering its strengths and weaknesses. This will ultimately help me determine its value in my own practice. Open to learn from others too.

I found a workaround, Poly(x1,y1,x2,y2); doesn't get registered correctly, but this does: BeginPoly; AddPoint(x1,y1); AddPoint(x2,y2); EndPoly; Maybe this is already fixed in VW 2024.

thank you so much

HI Bart, Thanks very much for this and beautiful images. I do not know how the Visualizer works and although your post was very well put together, I probably never will. I have 2024, but not service select. I see your point on the model being better on a white background. I think that is why your image is so accurate. This model is a Russian Typhoon Submarine, so I am assuming the Visualizer was able to get very accurate data. So, to keep this going, have you used it yet in a client based situation? Either in conjunction with Vectorworks or on its own? I am interested in where it fits into designers daily lives. Also, I wonder why it put in the two lights as if it was powered by jet engines? Once again excellent explanation. and imagery. Paul

It's not immediately noticeable at the origin... ... but the further out you get you can see that the offsets aren't right: Probably ok on a short hallway but not on a long one 🙂 Why we can't have the German hatch creator mentioned earlier in the thread I don't know!

Hi Paul, Thanks for reaching out! I’d be keen to discuss this opportunity further. Apologies for the delayed response; I must have missed the email notification. I have a large spectrum of experience gained as a director of the architectural firm Edmiston Jones from 1994 to 2008. Following that, I have focused on low-rise residential work in my practice. I’m very versed in the modelling side of Vectorworks, having started with Minicad back in the day. Documentation for a complete project is also no problem for me. Until last year, I used Artlantis for all my renderings and have recently begun using Twinmotion. In my spare time, I’m venturing into the VR world with Vectorworks software. I’d love to hear more about the multi-sport building project and how I can assist with the 3D presentation work. Please let me know a good time for us to chat. Looking forward to it! Best regards, Richie Dé hello@nooknestle.com.au

Hey @JustinVH jumping in here for a similar subject. Where is the built in cross sections or script for the uuid's I want to make my own an not have a "user" custom cross section... is this possible to mod a JSON or similar to get what I need?

Updating from Mac OS 14.4.1 to Mac OS 14.5 solved the issue. Kevin

Solved here too. The tool problem and the wall problem. Updating my Mac to 14.5 solved my tool problem. Update 5 seems to solve the wall issue. Kevin
