    Vectorworks & Maya

    in Architecture

    Posted

    Have you ever done this before? I've tried to export my model as dwg format to 3ds Max. It works great, however, I can't run Max on my Mac platform! I then tried to import the very same file into Maya, but the darn thing kept giving me an "error reading" message!!! What the heck is the problem? Do you know?

    Hello everyone,

    Anyone of you guys know an effective way to exchange files between Vectorworks and Maya? I like to export my building out of Vectorworks and import it into Maya for a more sophisticated lighting and materials options, and also have it animated. Anyone knows how? Greatly appreciated if you know how and can show me. Sonny

    Frequent Crashing w/o Cause VW2012

    I really don't think it's the video card because I have dual card which mean three times the handling capability, but it still crashes when push come to shove! However, every bit of extra money and power you can put on the machine would help. Quite frankly, I don't think the technology is up to par for what we do. We are so abusive when it comes to power. I worked on 3ds modeling and rendering a lot, so I know. Don't believe advice from engineer and or computer tech that say: "you are buying a Ferrari, but only drive 25mph." In that analogy, I am buying the fastest car and blew up the engine on OD all the time if I am not careful.

    Back to the point of avoiding crashes. BE PATIENT WITH VW... PLEASE!!! It saves you a lot of times and headache in the long run. "WHENEVER YOU SEND A COMMAND OR PERFORMING A TASK, AND VW IS CACULATING, DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING ELSE... JUST WAIT... BECAUSE WHEN YOU CLICK SOMETHING ELSE, VW CRASHES". It happens every time. I am learning it the hard way, but I am learning... The amount of crashes I have reduced from about once every hours in a course of eight hours working session to almost "once in a full moon" when I learned to control my level of anger and impatient... LOL...It does save time in the long run w/o crash. One more thing, VW seems to like the MAC platform better for some reason.

    Maybe you are right, I don't know! I just pick the font style from my version and it shows. I never did pay for any types of custom font. It might have came with the Adobe Master Collection I have installed in my machine, may be? I don't know, sorry!

    Can anyone out there please show me in steps how to run pipe in a 3d building model? Please!!! My studio final project required the HVAC and plumbing show in 3d perspective. I have figured out how to run HVAC, but can't seem to use the piping tool! Any suggestion?

    My computer Wiz. friend, can you show me exactly how to direct the URL to have my pic up in the profile? I like for all my new friends to know how nice I look, too. I am sure our other friends can also use the instruction.

    It's a perfect day to give Thanks to all my new friends @ VWCommunity. Long time heard, first time join; however, I have made up my mind that the community space is the space for me in every work/nonwork hour.
