[Need Textures 4 VW 2009]

Well theres the textures library taht comes with Vectorworks which is ok, or you could just create your own which I find much better.

[Flatten a room?]

Hi Jeffrey, thanks thats what ive been doing in the past, was hoping there was a quicker way of doing it but alas.

[General Background Question]

Maybe you have a certain background on that layer have you the background set to none?

[Flatten a room?]

Hmmm was hoping it wouldnt have to come to that

[General Background Question]

File-> Document settings-> Document setup-> gridlines off

[Flatten a room?]

Howdy gents, is there anyway to flatten out the sides of a room e.g when you look at the plan you see the floor and the walls flattened down aswell like if you got a shoe box and cut the corners and flattened them out, ive tried the unfold surfaces command but that doesn't work on the walls, any ideas?

[Bill of Materials?]

Howdy gents whats the easiest way to get a bill of materials out of vectorworks, the only way I can see of doing it is attatching a record to an object and then creating a report, is there a quicker way?

[Change colour to black & white?]

Or right click the viewport->properties->advanced properties->black and white only.

[Export PDF]

Howdy gents, im exporting some PDFs of drawings but I find the renders in viewports seem very blurry in the PDFs, ive changed the resolution but the quality doesn't seem to change?

[Viewport Scale Incorrect]

I occasionally get this problem also, I set the scale to 1:10 for example but the scale and custom scale differ for some reason and the viewport appears on a random scale so I just have to delete it and do it again.

[Render]

Nothing seems to work, I think ill just have to modify the texture for this pdf only, which is a pain in the ass.

[Render]

Ive turned off the ambient and envirnomental lighting but it doesnt seem to make a difference.

[Render]

Howdy gents, ive drawn an acoustic hanger and I want to send a PDF but the Final Quality Renders seem very bright and I dont want shadows to be cast but I cant seem to change it in the Lighting Options in the OIP?

[Render]

Cartoon style.

[Render]

Howdy Gents, I seem to be having a problem rendering my drawing in artistic render, everything appears in white except my renderworks background, the materials appear correctly in final quality renderworks.

[Snaps not Snapping Correctly]

Happens to me sometimes when I drag an object, just use move by points command.

[Backwards door insertion]

Well if your exterior trim becomes the interior trim then should the interior trim not then become your exterior trim?

[Artistic Render]

Howdy gents, i want to do a high quality artistic render to put on a website but whenever I do the render the lines appear very thick, ive checked the thickness of them in the render options and there set to the minimum? Also if i increase the dpi the render just appears as a final quality render and not an artistic render?

[Line Marker]

Howdy gents, silly question but its annoying me, im dimensioning my drawing and have put in an angular dimension and reduced the text but I cant seem to be able to reduce the arrow size at the ends of the dimension, I created a new dimension style but there doesn't seem to be an option for it there either? I know its probably going to be something really simple.

[Layers]

Well i have mod floor 1 selected yet objects drawn on mod floor 1 turn gray even when i have "active only" selected, and im able to select objects on different layers

[Layers]

Yeah Ray, but since im working on the ground floor and there all on the same layer anyway should that not matter?

[Layers]

Howdy gents, this is prpbably a stupid question but I dont use layers that much as I stick to classes, but I have a 2 storey building on two different layers but for some reason I cant select or snap to certain objects that are on the same layer, also when I select "active only" certain objects disappear even though there on the same layer, the objects that disappear seem to change depending on what class I have selected.

[Another report question]

Howdy gents, Im trying to calculate the amount of material needed in a studio and I am currently calculating the doors, how do I calculate the amount of material needed for the architrave of the door, it only seems to show the width and thickness for the int/ext trim and id like more options than that. Also regarding skirting board I just drew them with polylines and extruded them but when I calculate the length etc. on the report the values seem to be all wrong and change depending on what view im looking at in the drawing, I think I can solve that problem by drawing a wall of height 150mm and just use it as skirting board but surely theres an easier way?

[Walkthrough]

Howdy gents, does anyone else find the walkthrough extremely confusing in VW? In AutoCAD you can just draw a polyline and have the camera follow that around the drawing, is there anyway to do that in VW while its rendered in final quality renderworks?

[Window Wall?]

Score 1 for Revit.
