  1. Ok. found it. I don't set stuff - am a lighting Designer,

    so I selected the wall of the set but could not get it to change to the color I selected in the atributes pallet.

    how do I apply the color to a wall?

  2. That would be Ok, if I had the time, except I have 150 kids doing projects and looking for as many different colors.

    I need to find pre-made paint colors they can use, and won't take me a lifetime to set up for them. I am surprised VW hasn't gotten the paint manufaturers to provide colors ready for VW. What do Arch use???

  3. No XP disk - these came from our IT and we do not get neat things like disks

    I bought Regcure and ran it. It fixed something like 800 problems, at least according to it. VW still will not open and I am still getting the same message

    :-((( AGHHHHHHHH

  4. I have a problem with one of the computers in my lab. VW 2008 crashes when you try to open the program.

    I get this message.

    Microsoft Vsual C++ runtime library

    Program: c/programfiles/vectorworks2008/vectorworks2008.exe

    The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.Please contact the application's support team for more information.

    I have contacted Tech support and here is what they told me to do.

    1) completely unistall VW and do a new install - done.

    2) updated runtime - done.

    After doing that it opened twice and then crashed again with the same message.

    I shut the computer down for the night and the next day it opened once, and then the next time it crashed and has not worked since.

    ANYONE GOT AN IDEA OF WHAT TO TRY???

    It is running on a HP Compaq Dc5700 microtower - all of my lab computers are these, and this is the only one having a probem - at least so far.

  5. not so easy.

    Here is what i got form Tech to uninstall 2008

    Below are the complete uninstall instructions to properly removing VW from

    your Windows machine.

    Win Xp

    NOTE: If you happen to have any files saved in the VectorWorks you need,

    such as scripts, customized files, or saved files, place them somewhere else

    before attempting this un-installation, as they will be deleted otherwise.

    1) Click and drag your VectorWorks folder (Default location: C > Program

    Files > VectorWorks) to the recycle bin. Empty the recycle bin.

    2) Click Start > Run and in the dialogue box that pops up, type ORegEdit?

    3) On the left hand side of the window that pops up, ?Registry Editor? you

    will see a few small icons that look like folders with + or ? signs next to

    them, click all the ? signs except the one next to OMy Computer?, you should

    see one folder labeled: OHKEY_CURRENT_USER?

    4) Expand this folder by clicking the + sign to the left of it. Inside you

    will see a OSoftware? folder, expand it as well.

    5) Right click on the ONemetschek? folder and select Delete. Do the same

    with the OVectorWorks? folder.

    6) Repeat these steps for the folder OHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE? as well.

    7) Delete the folder C:\Users\(YourUsername)\Application

    Data\Nemetschek\Vectorworks\2008, (this folder may be hidden, so you will

    need to go to Tools > Folder options and enable "Show hidden Files" from

    that dialogue box.)

  6. In talking to VW about this problem I found out an interesting twist to this watermark issue. If you buy an individual ED license it will put the watermark on your work.

    BUT

    If you buy a lab license it will not. So if you need more than one computer, buy the lab lic for your computers and you won't have the problem.

    If I print from my laptop I get the mark. If I print from one of my lab computers I won't, according to VW.

  7. I am a bit baffled.

    I have created a set with the wall tool. When I go to apply a texture to the wall it only applies it to the top and sides of the wall, not the face. I know I am missing something simple, but I can't figure it out???

  8. I installed 2009 and i see that I still have V12 and 2008 on my computer. I went to unistall programs in my control panel and they are not there.

    1) How do I uninstall them?

    2) I am assuming I don't need the programs on my computer any more??

    thanks for some help

  9. I did the download and imported as you said, and I got a menu asking for wall thickness, floor thickness, and roof thickness.

    I set all at 10" and nothing showed up??.

    Would you be willing to email it to me?

    One of my kids needs one for her set design.
