    Vectorworks 2011 ?Release note

    in General Discussion

    Aloha, Robert:

    These are very useful general guidelines! Thank you.

    As for 3D dimensioning, in my opinion this is a great start what we got going in VW2011. As users we can make suggestion to improve it. We can't really aspect the programmer to know what each one of us want. Mind reading is not easy even for meditative monks! ;-) We just have to add more to the wish list and wish that they will be read and taken into consideration.

    Perhaps NA can offer some perks to the users come up with good suggestions and useable solutions. This could create positive feeling about their contributions...

    You can terminate the subscription if no feel like not continuing it...

    Upgrading from 2010 by choosing subscription option saves about $100. Probably worth checking how much the savings are upgrading from 2008.

    iMac i7 Intel Render Problem?

    Is there a setting in the system preference that is different between the macs on virtual memory, ram allocation for programs, page file, etc?

    Aloha, Grant:

    I don't think you can allocate memory for applications in MacOS X.

    There are few things that can be done:

    1. Run "permission repair" from Disk utility

    2. Do the disk repair after safe boot.

    Aloha, Peter:

    If I understand it correctly?from some of the previous posts?VW (at least up to 2010) do not take advantage of the multiple core processors. However, Renderworks does utilize all the cores when rendering.

    You can always utilize the desktop real estate for other windows such as Mail etc. I utilize the extra space by having large VW window to reduce panning and zooming.

    Each one of us work differently, the best choice is what makes you feel comfortable.

    Aloha, Bruce:

    It really helps when you are running several applications i.e. application like Photoshop etc. which takes up a lot of memory.

    Macs are so stable...most user don't reboot them very often. I noticed my iMac's speed improves with at least once a week reboot.

    Aloha, I noticed in the announcement about VW's partnership with Maxon Computer Lisa Lance wrote, "Beginning with the next release of Vectorworks? software, which will be available on Sept. 14, 2010, ..."

    Wondering if anyone seen a list of improvement, features etc. somewhere?

    Thanks

    Hybrid Object Rotation?how to do it?

    in General Discussion

    Aloha:

    Is there a way to rotate a roof face?

    I thought once I set the working plane right I can rotate any 3D object?or I think I did... perhaps I am not setting it right.

    I adjusted the overhang of a roof face, that changed the alignment of the two roof face's hip joint. Each time I use the "Rotate" tool to rotate the object I am getting the following alert message:

    "Hybrid objects can only be rotated in a plane parallel to the active layer plane. Would you like working plane set to the active layer plane?"

    When I click "yes" the object is no longer rotates they direction I wanted.

    What I am doing incorrectly here? Any ideas how to rotate this roof face? See attached files. I am trying to align the upper part of Roof Face 1 with the upper part of Roof Face 2. As you can see they are not aligned.

    By the way, these roof faces were created by AEC>Create Roof then they were ungrouped for modification. Thank you.
