  1. This looks useful! Would you mind sharing what prompts you've used to create these, might help people with refining it? Also - how does IP work, are all generated images copyright free for vwx users?
  2. What was the issue please, so that we can avoid making the same mistake?
  3. What settings did you use to get this please @VIRTUALENVIRONS?
  4. I think this has come up before, maybe @Marketa Hermova or @Katarina Ollikainen know? Have you checked the layers are the same scale, and that the layer views are aligned?
  5. Haven't read the whole thread in detail, but my thought was it could be a layer scaling thing. Sometimes when we've seen this, it is resolved by editing the layer scale (sometimes as well as the line weight). Architects generally work at 1:1 because that's how their software does things, but in vwx we find it better to work at whatever scale the majority of our outputs will be in sheet layer/viewport view, in order that line weights look the same in the output as what we are working with on screen in 'model space'.
  6. @Katarina Ollikainen thanks, as ever, for a quick and detailed reply!
  7. Hi Katarina, That sounds like a sensible workaround - but I'd prefer the software doing the maths, to reduce potential for human error! We want to input the distance apart that the plants on one row should be, and input how many rows there are, then have Vectorworks spit out the answer (ideally also be able to use data tags to report how many rows there are as part of the automatic label?)
  8. A usual hedgerow spec is not just one row of plants, it's 2 or 3 staggered rows. So we want to draw a line to represent a hedgerow, say 100m long, have it appear graphically as it does, but then use the Object Info Palette or similar to tell it that this hedgerow uses 2 staggered rows. i.e. if the spacing is 1 plant per linear m, this particular hedgerow is made up of 200 plants, not 100 (as it currently thinks). (We don't really want to have to artificially 'thicken' the hedgerow because then a) we're having to use plants/m² where we want to use per linear m, and b) the graphics look wrong.) We would also like the ability to use greater than 7 species in a hedgerow mix.
  9. Ah sorry for not explaining well enough - I mean a usual hedgerow spec is not just one row of plants, it's 2 or 3 staggered rows. So we want to draw a line to represent a hedgerow, say 100m long, have it appear graphically as it does, but then use the Object Info Palette or similar to tell it that this hedgerow uses 2 staggered rows. i.e. if the spacing is 1 plant per linear m, this particular hedgerow is made up of 200 plants, not 100 (as it currently thinks). (We don't really want to have to artificially 'thicken' the hedgerow because then a) we're having to use plants/m² where we want to use per linear m, and b) the graphics look wrong.)
  10. Hi all, Hoping for advice on how to get the hedgerow tool to do staggered rows in Vwx 2024? @Marketa Hermova @Katarina Ollikainen @Tom W. @zoomer, can it be done?! Thanks in anticipation.
  11. It's on our list to tackle this too, please do update if you discover the answer!
  12. We have to use a workaround by having a 'plant object' that is a seed mix, and make the landscape area 100% of that. I think @Marketa Hermova has said this is on the list to create a better solution for?
  13. Thanks @Tom W., I mustn't have had both objects selected properly, that's worked!
