  1. Aloha,

    Each time when I run the AEC>Create Roof... command I am getting the following error from VW:

    "Could not create roof, house drawing is too complex to compute roof."

    See the attached file. Is this polygon "too complex" to create roof?

    When I tried the command on a simple rectangular polygon it works fine.

    Thank you!

  2. Aloha, Ray:

    So it is just on my Mac...Bummer!

    I messed around with all the settings i.e. preferences that I know will have an impact on rendered output...don't know what else to do.

    Perhaps, reinstall VW...but I am not prepared to do it right now.

  3. You could hover your mouse over the object to determine the location of the hidden object, then use the marque to select the object?provided nothing else fall within the selection area. Or set the fill attribute of the front object to none.

  4. Aloha, Peter:

    Thanks...

    I tried a complete shutdown and restart?no change.

    I also did the "Permission Repair" and booted the computer on a single user mode (in UNIX) and ran the Disk Repair. No improvement either.

    There are some improvement when I change the background of my VW window to white instead black background?the white hides the jaggy edges...this is not really a solution

    I even reset my VW preferences but still no change.

    My rendering in the Design Layer is very sharp.

    I noticed the DPI of the Sheet Layer impacts the result of the viewport rendering. When I increase it to 1200 it improves?still not as good as you would have in DL. I wonder what is your SL DPI setting? Was there any significant difference in your rendering results when you compare your DL and SL results?

    Any other thoughts? Anyone?

  5. Hi Ray,

    Yes, I tried Final Q. Renderworks and did update the viewport. See the attaches jpeg file. It was a screen shot after updating the FQR..

    Btw, it looks great in the Design Layer! Only in viewports.

  6. Aloha, what should I do to have the rendered objects show up smoothly in a viewport. I tried changing the dpi of the sheet layer to 1200 and various rendering option but the image still shows up jagged in my viewport. Attached is a sample file. Thank you so much!

  7. Did another test after restarting the Mac and just VW running...

    Couple seconds of improvement on the last two settings.

  9. Aloha, Nick:

    Try the "Save As" option. Or save it on your hard drive then move the file to Dropbox folder.

    Probably good for you to create a signature with your VW version and computer system details etc. It is under the "My Stuff" popup menu on top of this page.

  10. Aloha, Scott:

    I am very sure there are keys that we are accidentally pressing. I never figured it out. I faced the similar issue couple times and resetting the pref. resolved it. Perhaps, one of our wonderful Moderators can give us a hint...

  11. Check your settings in Menu>Vectorworks>Preferences>Interactive tab...

    Also you can check your setting in the Snapping Palette (Command+Shift+C) Double click on any one of the item in the palette, you can get to the settings. Nothing works might want to reset it.
