When choosing the rectangle tool and setting it to automatic working planes, I am unable to select any faces. Any ideas why this would be?
-
What do you think is the best format to make movies in animationworks in windows 7? It seems a bit hit and miss and I forget the ways that worked! I have had success in the past by adding .mov when saving, but on the file I am working on it says that it has changed the file extension to .M4V and i then get either a very short movie or an off centered movie showing only a corner of the movie.

I pasted the roof onto a black document and it came up fine! There must be something wrong with my settings in that document but I cant seem to find anything.
-
Ive tried that, using the same texture nominated as class texture and picking out from the texture drop down list but still no luck!
-
Thanks for that, I edited the component and it was set to no fill, but when I put class texture in it still did not show?
-
I can not get my roofs to render in 3d. I create the walls and they are fine and when I create the roof it shows up in plan but not in 3d. I have created 100s of roofs with no problems and this seems to have happened only after I installed the last service pack. I exported the file to VW 2015 and the roofs appear perfectly?

I have just made a new movie with animationworks and when I make the movie only about 1/3 of the picture shows. I have tried making the movie in other formats with no luck and have used animationworks successfully on other files.
-
Thanks for that. I left the symbol in place and then clicked on it and it worked!
-
for some reason I cant seem to create symbols anymore.I select the object, go to modify-create symbols, follow the prompts but nothing happens, they just stay as objects. I also tried creating a group first but no luck.It has only recently happened and have had no problems previously.

Benson, I went through the workspace editor and it was there. It is now in the Architectural section and works well! thanks for that
-
Thanks for that, I have the same drop down menu, but no Fit Walls to Objects!
-
I have been following Jonathan Pickups recent posts about walls. I am in the landmark workspace but when I go to landmark-architectural, I cant find the fit walls to objects command?
-
I have information on my plants regarding height and spread, but when i create a worksheet the information does not match, eg, i have Epicaris impressa as a plant with a spread and height of 1.2 x 1.2m, but it comes up on the schedule as 2.4 x 3m? I recently submitted a plan to council for a permit and it was rejected due to the information on the spread sheet which had exaggerated all the plants heights and widths.

I turned Vectorworks on and off again and it worked! I feel so dumb!
-
i have had a look for it, but cant find it? If it is hidden is there a way to find it?
-
I cant seem to edit textures. I go to the resource browser and right click to edit but nothing seems to happen. Is there a change in 2015 regarding this?

Vectorworks freezing when editing grade limits
Clive Abben replied to Clive Abben's topic in Site Design
How should I deal with it? -
when i use the reshape tool to move grade limits, Vectorworks freezes and i have to close and re-open. its fine with pads, hardscapes etc but not grade limits?
-
Thanks for that. I ended up giving the computer a full antivirus, malware scan and removed unwanted programs with msconfig and it seems to be working now!
-
The rendering bar starts showing it is working, the viewport goes black, but does not progress from there
-
I dont know if this is a problem with my computer or vectorworks. I can render in design layers but can only render with open GL in my viewports. It has only started happening in the last couple of days so am confused!
-
I managed to play it in quick time. It was not on the open with pop up, but once I opened quick time it was fine. I do have a problem with rendering. Open Gl is fine, but with renderworks I would get to about 17-19 seconds of 25 and it would freeze. I guess maybe try short 5-10 movies and join them? If so, what movie editing programe would you recommend?
-
I have just made a movie in animation works, the preview works fine in openGL, but when saving the movie it just appears as a file with no suffix and i cant open it. I have tried saving it with various compression methods to no avail.
-
Thanks for that. I tried tools/purge, closed and re-opened the file and it seems to be working now, you have saved me a lot of heartache!

I have been working on a VW2014 file, its currently about 650mb in size and if i do anything to it (even in top plan view) the screen goes blank and it comes up with an out of memory notice.The task manager tells me that only 54% memory is being used and cpu is currently at 0%, but I guess thats because it has frozen. Any ideas about what to do?
