    I think this is a good point , those manuals are about 50% too pricy in my opinion. I'm sure they are great, but they are expensive compared to other manuals I have come across. It's worth a thought that perhaps twice as many people would buy them if they were 50% cheaper and therefor the author would earn the same.

    Great thanks Pat, thats exactly what I needed

    Is it possible to spread one viewport on 2 or more sheets? (I have a drawing that is too big for one sheet and I want to place it across 2 or 3. Something similar to what I am talking about is easy with Adobe InDesign.

    I would suggest that Vectorworks should in time abandon the Lightworks engine for another one. It is just so much inferior than many of the competitors. An obvious choice would be the Cinema 4D render enginge (since it is owned by Nemetschek ). That makes much more sense to me instead of licensing a sub-standard rendering engine from another company (lightworks.) Just my 2 cents on Renderworks.

    Being able to work in perspective view easily. Zoom in and out orbit around object, edit objects, make new objects and not having a border limiting the view. For reference exactly what I am talking about is the default view when you open google sketchup.

    That is really superb work Gog. Any chance you can post the Vectorworks file for me to examine how you set up your model?

    Hi sorry for the late reply, I finally got around to try what you are suggesting. I still don't get it. Am I supposed to find any of the special characters in the preferences.xml file and then replace those with the codes on the HTML escape character webpage? I don't find any of the spec. characters in the .xml file. I know nothing about programming and code so you really have to explain this to me like you would to a 5 year old

    Thanks for your response Orso. Actually it seems that only the text tool supports the special characters. What do I do, copy and paste the information from the link into the xml. files? Cheers

    Are any of the VW developers monitoring the forum that might have any soloution to this?
  10. pepsi-cola
    Yes Pat, Quartz imaging is indeed turned on so that does not seem to be the issue.
  11. pepsi-cola
    Any thoughts?

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?> yes, thats what is says. What does that mean?
  13. pepsi-cola
    Well I just found out that the drawing label tool doesn't support foreign characters either
  14. pepsi-cola
    The callout tool does not support Icelandic characters such as ?, ? and ? while the text tool and every other tool that uses text seems to support it. Do you guys know if this is a bug or am I missing a setting somewhere?

    Thanks you for all your input. This is a very responsive forum, which is important

    I'm calling it "Bim tools" because the 3D models can generate elevations and sections as well as having information attached to it. Of course it is 3D modeling, but it's different from say, an extruded rectangle, which is just geometry. Correct me if I'm wrong.
  17. pepsi-cola
    Thanks, thats very helpful

    Thanks for your replies guys. I am kind of struggling with the bim tools. Walls are not joining properly and the wall join tool doesn't seem to work properly. I will try what you guys. A few more questions: How do you copy a window or a door from one wall to another? How do you save a wall style to use in future projects?
  19. pepsi-cola
    Thanks, that was simple.

    Is it possible to place the text in a space object anywhere I want? I can choose left, right or middle but the text usually ends up where I don't want it to. Can I somehow move it freely?

    Hi guys I have this strange problem. Door objects will mask (make holes in plan) on interior walls but not on exterior walls. http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/926/temp.tif

    Thanks Pat, that did the trick. I really like your podcast by the way

    I just imported a dwg file that I made myself in Autocad a few months ago and there is a problem. There are hundreds of infinite dotted lines on the drawing (like construction lines) that I can't select and therefore can't delete. Any thoughts?

    Artlantis is better in every way then Renderworks. Faster and way better quality. Vectorworks desperatly needs a better rendering engine in my opinion. Lightworks hasn't really improved since I first tried it with FormZ 10 years ago. I suggest Nemetschek buys (or linences) Artlantis into VW and Archicad (especially since Revit has MentalRay now). sorry for hijacking thread

    Hi guys. When I print a sheet layer as PDF, 4 pages are printed. The actual page with the title block, and then 3 additional blank pages. Of course I can open my PDF in Acrobat and delete the 3 extra pages, but I thought somebody might have a solution to this.
