[Vectorscript Development Tools for Windows: Notepad++]

Hello,

It seems that this comment type is not taken into account :

I sometimes use them because the other comment type can be included without creating errors.

[Data in external file]

Good idea I thinks I'll be able to work something out.

Maybe, I'll fill the parameter in the kObjOnInitXProperties event. so I need to read the data once only for each object type.

[Data in external file]

Hello,

I would like to use external data (tab separated or comma separated)in my PIO's

The "read file" method works fine but I don't like the idea that VW needs to read the data each time the PIO recalculate.

I don't want to use .px files because I don't want to encrypt and distribute my plugins again each time I change the data.

I could use .vss includes, but it seems that we can only write code (not raw data) in those.

Also, if I write a function in a included .vss file, I cannot encrypt the plug-in anymore...

So, how can I do?

Thanks

[Light brightness]

They have. There is some kind of logarithmic or square root relation between the "set Brightness" and the real brightness and I cannot figure out what it is.

10 lights set on 10% don't light nearly as much as 1 light set on 100% (seen attachment)

Does someone know the relation i'm looking for?

[Light brightness]

Howcome 2 lights set on brightness = 50% appears darker than on light set on brightness = 100% ?

Is there some way I can calculate the brightness of 10 lights if I want them to be as bright as one light set on 100%?

Thanks,

[Prevent to delete PIO with event]

One of my PIO's defines the position of other PIO's. The users sometimes delete it by mistake. I would like to display a warning message when they try to delete it. Does someone know if this is possible?

[White transparent in Render Viewport]

Hello,

The white is transparent in rendered viewports. This can be annoying may the sheet background is not white. Is it possible to disable that?

Thanks,

[Changing active plane from script (Layer to screen)]

Thanks Raymond, It works fine.

I have an extra question though. How do you find those constants?

I couldn't find it in the appendix or anywhere on the sites :

www.vectorlab.info &

developer.vectorworks.net

Are they other interesting websites I should know about to help me find answers by myself ?

Thanks,

[Changing active plane from script (Layer to screen)]

Hello, I have 2D Custom tools that work only when the active plane is "screen plane". So if I change the active plane to layer plane, they don't work correctly.

How can I change the active plane to screen in my tool script?

Thanks,

[VS function made with SDK?]

I actually don't know much about C++ but what I implement is really becoming to complex for VS. I need to get conformable with SDK, but that is a big step forward...

Is there a forum that work good for that?

(This one does not seem to bring much answers to the persons asking questions...)

Thanks,

[VS function made with SDK?]

Hello, I develop quite complex PIO with Vectorscript but I loose lots of time rewriting basic function that are not available in Vectorscript. (String editing, 3D calculation, Lists sorting...)

Those function are of course available in C++

Do you now if it is possible to create VS functions with the SDK?

Thanks,

Damien

[Custom dialog]

Thanks,

It is not as nice looking than the VW Criteria dialog (because we see the dialog close and open again) But it works fine..

[Custom dialog]

Does anyone know how to create a dialog with a number of choice that can be chosen from the dialog itself. (With a button "More choices" for instance.

The VW Criteria dialog is the perfect example (see attachment)

Another way to see it is a button that changes a the number of choices and resets the dialog. I cannot manage to do that.

Thanks,

[Data Bar working badly with walls]

No one else has experienced this problem? Or better : Has a solution for it ??

Thanks,

[Display symbol editing from script]

Thanks,

This works and gets me in the 2D component editing. Do you also know the constant for the 3D component?

Or do you know where I could find the complete list of those constant?

Thank,

[Display symbol editing from script]

Is it possible to display the symbol editing environment from script?

I have a PIO that contains a symbol. I would like the users be able to edit the symbol directly from the Object Info palette of my PIO without going through the Resource browser

Thank,

[Data Bar working badly with walls]

Sometimes, there is a value that stay stuck in the databar when drawing walls. It usually happens when I make a view change by mistake while drawing walls.

The Length I type is locked after pressing enter, but has no effect (constraints)

When this happens, I found only one way to make it got away : restart VW.

Does someone know what causes that and how to avoid it?

[2D objets in Section viewport]

Well not in my version or there is a hidden option somewere

See attached file

VW2012 US SP2

[2D objets in Section viewport]

Hey,

Does some-one know if it is in Nemetschek agenda??

[2D objets in Section viewport]

So it really looks like it is impossible.

Why do Nemetschek so often develop new features only half way?

Maybe will have the answer in VW2025...

[2D objets in Section viewport]

I don't see this check box in the OIP for Section viewport as a see it for regular viewports...

[2D objets in Section viewport]

I can't manage to make 2D objects in 3D (like dimensions) appear in the section viewports. Can some one explain how to do, or is it impossible?

Thanks,

[Protect Plugins]

Thanks for the ideas. Josh, it sound very interesting, I would very much like to hear more if it is possible...
