Hi Cristiano, hope I understand your question, do you mean you try to achieve different transparencies of your symbol instances? If you attach the record to the Solids inside the Symbol, all Solids of all the symbol instances will get the same transparency. If you attach the record to the Symbol you can overwrite the individual records of the Solids inside the Symbol, but if you have different solids inside the symbol with different transparencies, all solids get the same transparency. Greetings Tobi

Hi, I often use a data visualization in combination with a record (only for transparency) to put certain objects into a transparent state. The "trick" is to use a transparent texture (like Tamsin explained) and use it in the Datavisualization. The Datavisualization will overwrite the current texture of the object with a transparent texture. You can think this further and make more textures with different transparency values if you like finer differences. Greetings and have a great Christmastime Tobi

Hi Andy, I'm happy that it helps you. I asked in Jira whether the US version can also receive this plugin. Theoretically, I could pass on the plugin, but I don't think that would be allowed, so I'd rather not. ... I'm happy to help anyone who needs a hatch. Greetings and wish you all a nice week and don't fall too deep into the Christmas stress Tobi

Hi Andy, greetings. Attached is a file with a hatch! Hopefully it's the way you wanted it. shakes rectangle v2022 v2024 v2022.vwx It's late in Germany now. Time for bed. Tomorrow, if needed, I could make one more for you Greetings and good luck with the project Tobi

Hi Andy, I tried it, but you have to change the geometry a bit to make it seamless. With the German tool I have to draw a rectangle and everything within the rectangle then becomes a hatch. If you change the geometry that it fit inside a rectangle, I will try it again for you. Greetings Tobi

Hello, now the "Loft Surface Tool" should be improved with a "History", as some other tools already have. That would be a very nice function. Greetings from Germany Tobi

Hi Paul, greetings and thank you for your time to making this video! Greetings Tobi

Hi there, @VIRTUALENVIRONS I'm interested how you achieved the Geodesic Dome both solutions (curved and straight). Thanks for help! Greetings from Germany Tobi

Hi Tom, can you please send me a demo-file from you? Greetings Tobi

Hello Tom, hmmmm? The error I reported has been fixed. The beta version I have access to is not affected by this behavior. I tested my own demo file from this thread. We are not getting an official update 2 in Germany. I expect it for end of November or beginning of December. In previous beta updates for update 2 I tested the file, and it worked for me. If possible, send a demo file from you. I will test it out Greetings Tobi

Hi, today I created a Jira request that the script we can use in the German version should also be made available for your version in the future. Maybe I'll also get permission to share the script directly, then you can test it to see if it works for you. It is possible that the script is already included and is not integrated into the menu of your installation. The script is called: Convertir en hachure.vsm and could be located in the Plug-Ins folder. Best regards Tobi

Hi line-weight, if you want another hatch style, i can make you one. Draw the one you like, and i convert the drawing into the hatch for you. Greetings Tobi

Hi, you can test this both hatches (one with gaps). Angle: 45° File = VW 2024 + VW 2023 Made in the German version, with the feature Tom mentioned above. Hope this helps. Greetings Tobi hatch v2023.vwx hatch v2024.vwx

Hi, the best solution in my option has Sketchup. For me, never found a solution that comes close to this one. Super fast, super easy, super flexible! This would be longtime dream to have this solution in VW. Please see the video.

Hi, same for me here. I also noticed this behavior for 2023 SP7. I made a Bug-Report. Greetings from Germany Tobi

Hi, maybe you can use a Subdivision with Iteration = 0 to model the object and later you can convert it to a solid to give a thickness. Greetings Tobi

Hi, for my opinion the snapping dots are to close to the mid-ball. I think it can happen to click to the wrong part (snapping dot or ball). I would prefer to have snapping always on as standard, and with ALT-key you can temporary turn it off. What do you think? Do you need more snapping on, than no snapping? The Dragger is great as tool and i would like to see it everywhere possible, e.g. moving a whole window in wall in 3d space.

Hi Kaare, your Nurbs-Kurve is degree: 3 and the Nurbs-Surface is degree: 2, I don't know, but I think a mixture of degrees can't match perfect. But in the center of the Dragger is a "ball" you can also pick that ball to move the object/part of the object. Maybe this helps you? Greetings Tobi

Hi, I think: thats why the wall height wasn't enough to fit to the roof. Greetings Tobi

Hi Tom, yes, I made a report and as far as I know we will get a fix with update 2. Greetings Tobi

HI Jonathan, thanks for the info and the video! Never tested this after the update! Good to know now! 👍🏼 Greetings Tobi

Hi, same for me here! I have also problems with the Cursor after my update to Sonoma and VW 2023 SP7 + VW 2024 (latest) Greetings Tobi

Hi, yes, Pat gave the right answer. Thanks for that! @doug shaffer Hope this helps you too! Greetings Tobi

Hi, now after my rebuild of my Workspace, VW close without a crash. Greetings Tobi

Hi, I tested the following: Changed the custom Workspace setting to standard Workspace. Now VW 2024 quits without error. I try to rebuild my Workspace I used before and have an eye on the crashes.! Greetings Tobi
