Hi guys quick question, My boss wants more advanced realistic renders, is Vectorworks compatable with programs like Viz and 3DS MAX and what other render programs would you recommend that are compatable with VW?

Hi chaps I created a texture for walls in a studio and for some reason star objects seem to appear in a 3D render which ive generated with the camera tool, they dont show in isometric views, any ideas on how I can fix this?

Hi guys, I have a 600mm wall and I want a door to be hinged in the centre of the wall but when I insert a door it hinges flush with one side of the wall how do I get it to hinge in the centre of the wall? Thanks

Hi im trying to export a file to DWG, my drawing has a few 3D Symbols in it but is a relatively small drawing, however when I export it the CAD files reads as over 40mb, ive tried various ways to reduce like not exporting invisible layers etc. but the file is still huge, any ideas how I can reduce it?

Select the class and make sure to tick the box that says "use at creation", then you can set different textures for walls, roofs and other.

I have pretty much the same problem but my patterns dont print at all but export to PDF fine.

Dang I use a windows, is there any free program I could download?

Howdy gents, I send my clients quiet alot of PDF's which are mostly of 3D models and the file sizes are quiet large (about 6 or 7MB each) if I reduce the DPi it makes very little difference if any to the file size, is there anyway to reduce the PDF's without buying Adobe Acrobat?

You can find all those symbols in the library folders in VW including the pendant symbol youre referring to

As someone has already said set the glazing to a class but have the glass set as a different style of glass other than "clear" as it seems to appear as anything but clear, I find that "Glass Figured Light" seems to be the best textured glass.

Howdy gents, what im trying to do is show a client how to install acoustic panels and what i want to do is show it in a quick time video, is it possible to do this with vectorworks? i have no problem doing walk throughs etc. but im not sure if VW can show how items being installed. Will i just have to produce a series of images?

5 to 7 times faster is a gross exaggeration from my experience so far.

You should post an image of the problem

Really? Wow and you call yourself a VW addict, you should be ashamed of yourself.

How do I import 2010 drawings into the 2011 demo? I tried just copying and pasting a 3D object but it seems to come in in 2D?
