[Open GL Renderworks Style?]

I was trying to see if there was a way to do it in viewports, but that is a neat trick. 

[Open GL Renderworks Style?]

I was mostly trying to save myself the time of choosing the different options I use with OpenGL much the same way that a Renderworks Style remembers your choices. 

 

[Open GL Renderworks Style?]

Is it possible to use Open GL with Renderworks Styles? 

 

Thanks!

[How to uninstall content package?]

Hi Rob, 

 

I spy in your Resource Manager Lumenpulse. Does that mean it is being added to the libraries? 😁

[Design Summit?]

Is the design summit still going to happen as scheduled? I ask as have have had several dozen jobs (gigs) cancel on us over the past few days. 

 

Thank you,

[Photometric grid w/o focus points]

I've said this before and I'll say it again, VW should have an actual photometric grid tool that makes use of IES files. Think AGi32. https://lightinganalysts.com/software-products/agi32/overview/

 

Currently, there is no way to use VW to accurately tell you how much light is on a given object. In Architainment, this would be a killer feature. 

[Motor Origin Update]

I think I've found the culprit. The file I"m working on started out as a VW2019 file and was then brought into VW2020. 

 

I"ll try it as a 2019 file and see if I keep getting the same results. 

[Motor Origin Update]

When placing motors (or hoists) in VW2020, the X and Y values will not update to a given origin on a drawing. As an example, if you have 2 different hoist origins and you toggle back and forth between them, the motors will not change their X/Y values. 

[Typo City]

I found some typos in the pop-up help for Braceworks. 

[VW2020 Logo]

Could you please change the 2020 logo so it does not look the same as the 2019 logo? Just the colors. We keep the last couple of version of the software just in case there are stability issues. 

 

Thank you

[Structural Member Tool]

Thanks!

 

[Structural Member Tool]

I'm working with a drawing of a convention center and the beams that all the rigging comers off of are not of a type listed in the structural member tool. They are 68DLH18. Is there a way to make beams like this using this tool? 

[Matthews C-Stand objects]

You could always make your one C-stand. What would be really killer is if there were a plugin that allowed you to spec a stand and tell it the height and arm length. Sort of like the genie lift tool. 

[Truss Grapples]

Does Braceworks know about grapples? Is there a way to get BW to understand what they are and how they work?

[Renderworks STILL rendering black box, et al]

I still get some white rendered results when I’m rendering viewports. I haven’t figured out why it is inconsistent. 

[Custom Right Click]

Hi @Pat Stanford Here is a file with a simple truss system. Please let me know how else I can help out.

[Offset Custom Truss]

Hey @Rob Books crazy question for you. What if I had a truss that had multiple connection points along it at different heights? Can braceworks do that? 

[Custom Right Click]

Hey Zoomer,

I'm trying to add a command that is only available in the OIP when a Braceworks Truss object is selected. I've added custom menu commands, but this is an OIP command. See the top screen shot above. 

[Custom Right Click]

I added this to an old thread and I thought I might need to re-up it here. 

 

How do I add a menu tool from the OIP as an Object Context right click option? I would like to add Select System Objects for Braceworks Truss as a right click option. 

 

[How do I change context-sensitive right-click menus?]

Adding a new question to this thread...

 

How do I add a menu tool from the OIP as an Object Context right click option?I would like to add Select System Objects for Braceworks Truss as a right click option. 

 

 

[Offset Custom Truss]

Aha! Good to know. Thanks again!

[Offset Custom Truss]

Here you go and thanks!

[Offset Custom Truss]

my insertion point is currently at the end of the truss near the T. 

[Offset Custom Truss]

I'm trying to make some custom truss that technically is a 4-way corner block. There are connection points at each end of the truss and two offset toward one side. Here are some screen grabs of what I'm working on.  When I try to make the connection on the offset side, I'm getting some really results. Thoughts?

[Camera Operator View]

I should have clarified... 

 

What I'm looking for is not a camera that you would use to take a photo with. I'm looking for a camera to function like a video or I-MAG camera of the type that is used for events. So instead of a the Renderworks Camera thinking in terms of film size, I want the camera to use video lenses and/or imagers. Can the camera be taught to think like a video camera?
