Thank you, duh! I can’t believe I missed that one.

Being new to 2024 I posted something that. I do not need to ask any longer, it actually doesn't make sense. How can I delete or change it?

How do I hide the "Session Pane" on start up and is the new Application Window UI something I can turn off so I can see my desktop instead of the Application Window blocking it? I used to turn off the Application Window and just have my palettes surrounding my working tab. Thank you ahead of time, I just can't seem to find anyone asking these questions!

As of recent I am unable to import any downloaded SketchUp files into Vectorworks 2020 or 2022. Has anyone else had this problem?

I was able to figure it out although there is not a lot to find on this subject. What I found is that I have to put all dimensions and markers on the sheet layers and not on a separate layer for them to render properly. Is there another way to do this?

I am unable to find out how to my show markers with the dimensions in my Sheet Layer renderings. I can only get them to show in wireframe mode. This is driving me crazy. If I create a Final Shades Polygon rendering I lose the marker arrows. PLEASE HELP!

I have not upgraded to Mojave (and would like to), 2019 won't render properly for me at all, went back to 2018.

The only solution I've been able to come up with is this. Whatever the source of the logo, .eps, .jpg, and so on, save it as a BMP very large. I have a logo that has some complexity to it so I saved it at 40" wide as a BMP. Then Import it into Vectorworks, select Modify, Trace Bitmap... these steps create smooth lines that stay true to original logo. From that there I can select Modify, Combine Into Surface for each element/letter of the logo allowing me to Extrude. From there scale logo to size needed.

I have original Illustrator files. So the current file is a eps with vector lines.

I am looking for a clean way to import logos for conversion to line art in VW for extrusion. When I import logos, I seem to get curves that are jagged with a lot of points. I have tried exporting to dwg and also convert from bitmap, still get ragged lines. Thank you, JKibbe

Getting back to everyone about the Mac Pro, very sorry for the delay. It is an amazingly fast computer and I have no regrets spending the money! I no longer have to wait through the night for renderings compared to my last 2008 Mac Pro Quad Core with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 680! There are minor glitches with VW 2015 but I really don't see them relating to the Mac Pro. All things considered, I highly recommend this Mac.

I have tried everything! No color pallets import into 2015. PLEASE help!

I will tell you that I purchased a New Mac Pro 6-core, Xeon E5, 3.5 GHz with 16GB RAM. This is SEVERELY FASTER and more stable with Vectorworks than my maxed out 2008 Mac Pro Quad Core with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 680! I create and import intense models from places like Turbo Squid, I also make very high renders. The new Mac is setting me free and rendering at a fraction of the time. I will post back about how VW 2015 reacts with it.

I'm not sure what you mean by the file named "Kenworth ╨?2000" I don't have anything named that. If you were able to import this at all, I would really love to know how you did it, or maybe even get this file from you. I really need it for a project. Thank you, JKibbe

Okay, here is the 3DS link, it will not remain for long, please download asap: Link removed Let me know if you would prefer a .rar file, and confirm download asap so I can delete.
