In other news UK users will be pleased to see Vectorworks have launched a new Renderworks Background to honour this years English spring and summer.

@RussU thanks Russ - and well spotted with the cheeky floor void!! Hidden behind floor to ceiling High Level units. Got there in the end!

If the builder built it we can do it in 3d. The data never lies. Whatever the Edwardian builder did! I have never looked back since 3d modelling. Effort up front has paid back in spades for us as a business. I am very pleased with Vectorworks and how it has improved our business.

Thanks Jeff took me 4 days but worth it in the end. I have a workflow that is now fit for purpose and wonderful when it all comes together so easily!

Absolute nightmare to survey. Multi level. Multi renovated. But pretty happy with this. Eventually. Couldn't get the stairwell walls to line up. Went through the dimensions on every level so many times to check. Turned out the first floor was WAS set back 150mm from the ground and second floor walls but was hidden in the construction, verified by another practices dwgs. I wasn't going mad! One of the many benefits of working in 3d is the programme doesn't lie, it takes your data and tells you how it is! I must trust myself more Enjoy!

Incredible! Inspiring.

VW 2021 Hi all. Just (finally) switched to VW2021 . Haven't been on for a while. Ridiculously busy! Very happy with 2021 and really getting into Extrudes! House in Teddington SW London. Enjoy!

5 years later. Well I never knew that! Great Alan you just resolved a tricky brief. Holding shift down gets you to 45 degrees too!

We've just been re-commissioned to work on a property in Twickenham which we originally extended in 2015. I was able to resurrect the file and all the 3d was intact and it worked perfectly although how I worked without ambient occlusion back then is a mystery to me! I was then able to give it a good render scrub and brush up using all our newer techniques compared to our line drawings of the past. I was very pleased with the results! This has saved me hours of time. Enjoy!

Hello E For the sake of your own sanity I have encountered this before. Although in our case our walls are grey so I end up with a big grey circle/s! From memory I think this issue was triggered by the placement of windows in the round wall: taking them out seemed to resolve it. In non technical terms I've either had to recreate the round wall/s and/or fiddle about with the window placement in the round walls to resolve it. good luck!

You think you've got problems @Jim Smith my walls have ears 🙂

You are talking to the guy who was trying to get decent sunny shadow views at 8 at night in November 🙂

Its a tricky one allright. I shape the top of the window with a small elipse, but I know what you mean because actually the window is square. The only way I can think of which is immeasurably tricky would be to use an ellipsed cased opening for the masonry element in the main wall and then a thinner top shape square wall in the main wall opening opening to house a standard square window. But that's very fiddly! The VW window and door tools need a good re-boot! It would be really good if the sash windows showed "horns" at the bottom of the upper sash (I think they are called) but that's getting a bit desperate! Good luck Regards D
