Katie, One more thing. I am creating the animation in Renderworks in either in Final Quality Renderworks or Custom Renderworks with Auto-adjust exposure checked. thanks, bruce

Katie, thanks for responding. I haven't been on the tech board for quite awhile so congrats on the job promotion! The file is 11 MB. creating 930 frames "Vectorworks has suddenly quit?" OS: OS 10.4.9 Quicktime player: 7.1.5 iMac Machine Model: iMac6,1 Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB Memory: 2 GB Bus Speed: 667 MHz graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT Animation creation will run for 1 to 2 hours before crashing. I've set my energy saver preferences to 'no sleep'. Needless to say I don't sit around watching the screen for a couple of hours waiting for the process to complete. :-) A majority of the file was created some time ago on either VW 10 or 11. So we may have one of those 'don't ever work on an old file in a new version of VW' situations. regards, bruce

Whenever I try to create an animate along path movie VW crashes.

What I meant to say was OS 10.2.6 and 10.2.8 I haven't upgraded my G3 to 10.3 yet.

Works on my G3 bronze with OS 10.2.6 and newer. what OS are you using?

The record is attached to an object nested inside a symbol attached to the wall. I have selected 'look in symbols' when creating the report to no avail.

In VWA 9.5.3 I'm unable to access record data in a worksheet if the record is inside a symbol which is in a wall. VWA seems to be able to find the info if the symbol is free floating but not when attached to a wall. Anyone else have this problem?

I've had the same problems with VWA 9.5 on my G4 - 400mhz running either OS 9.1 or 9.2. I have a Apple installed Radeon AGP card. I figure I've lost about 2 wks work since the first of the year! Maybe I'll have to spring for a new graphics card, any suggestions? bruce arnold

If you wish to change the font permenantly, go to the Organize menu and select create plug-in. From the list select "reference marker" and click edit. Then click on parameters and select Font1 ID and then edit. You will be able to enter any font you wish in the list and make it the default if you desire. I've changed all mine to Tecton Bold because I like the look. good luck,

If found that if you edit the symbol and add the appropiate section of wall classed as ceiling-main you can make it work. Of course you have to decide what thickness wall you will be using, which may or may not be a pain-in-the-a?

I've found if the wall thickness is the same in both walls the cavity info will transfer. If the walls are of different thickness, no go!
