Thank you, Yes I know it can be turned off. But this shortcut isn't in the list you find in the system prefs. Maybe there's an other way...
-
When we assign the command-/ key to flip-horizontal for instance, the command works, but also opens Safari+help. If we assign this shortcut to document preferences it also works, but then it doesn't open Safari. What is going on here, is this a bug?
-
Is it possible to turn off the text but leave the arrow in the stair tool (VW 11). Is it possible to change something within the plug-in (although it is locked)? Thanks!
-
So why isn't the offset already build in VW 11?
This is such an important tool for a lot of architects.
-
And regarding the views BaRa mentioned. Wouldn't it be nice to have a camera object? Maybe already mentioned, but could be very useful.
-
you can also try to use the grid transparancy with a very small grid, from a distance you can get quit a good result. And indeed you can use the constant reflection as well. Hope I helped you!
-
We used to have a problem when turning on the black background. Some objects that had a "pure" white filling turned black in the rendering. This happened in VW 9. Now we just use a black background with our renderings. I don't know if you have the same problem. You could also try to fill the walls with a slightly offset white. ie. 255,255,254. Maybe this helpes?

If you create a helix spiral and then use a circle to extrude along path (select helix). Then you can change the scale of the profile along the path (the helix). So you get a 3d spiral that starts with a "thick" profile and ends with a thinner/smaller profile. I don't know if this is what you're after?

So I downloaded the free trial version of Illustrator. This works great, you can save as a DXF or DWG and import this. When I use the Command-C, Command-V option tho copy/paste. The drawing loses quality. Somehow some polyline points aren't copied.
-
thanx for the replies, i'll do search for some converters.
-
I have a pdf containing some vector information. Is it possible to import this data in vw? I know with windows it's possible with gsview and so on... But isn't there a simple plugin for either VW or Acrobat (we have the full pro version). I tried copy and paste, but with no luck. Thanks
-
Is it also possible to send a demo to the Netherlands?
-
You can always try with Doodle, but that's not the point of this thread.
-
I think this is just how it works. The command makes a section of the faces. Maybe it's something for the wishlist. You could close them with the 3dpolygon tool (I think...). If you then group those polygons you can give them a nice reddish (or something) color. (just an idea)
-
I think a WIP section would be great! You can get a lot of technical questions and answers with a rendering. As Kevin says "a picture is worth a thousand words". There is already a texture forum as well... (although not much used).
-
Thanks, but I already use this technique right now. I hoped there is a way to move a symbol without taking it out the wall and use the "simple" move command. I guess I'll have to wait for a newer version of VW (wishlist item!).
-
Hello, I read somewhere that you could move a symboll that is inserted in a wall with the move command and that you can even duplicate it using the alt/ctrl key (Within VW 10.5). But when I tried this I found out that this doesn't work for me. Is it possible to move an inserted symbol in a wall with the move or nudge command? This would be very helpful and works much quicker than the position button in de OI palette.
Maybe there is already an answer to this, but I could find it in these forums. Thanks in advance.
-
Why is it not possible to give a class and a symbol (or texture) the same name? For instance, if a have a class named "2" I can't name a symbol or texture "2" as well. I think this is somewhat frustrating sometimes. A class and a symbol are two different elements in a drawing. Maybe there's a good explanation for this "feature". Maybe it's something for the wishlist (VW 11?) Thanks
-
This sounds very good, I did not yet managed to find a site that has a material/texture bank for vectorworks. Maybe it's possible to add preview pics aswell.
-
Thanks to you all! With some experimenting I found a glass that suits my needs.
-
The URL should be www.panzercad.com.
-
Thanks for the quick replies, indeed a numeric value would be great, but with some experimenting (and some tips from the forum ) I think I would be able to get some nice glass texture.
-
Hello, I'm looking for a glass material/texture for architectural renderings, the glass that comes with VW doesn't really suit my needs, are there simple ways to create a nice looking glass facade. I'm using VW 10.5. Thanks
-
I used All Visible Objects, but I'll try it with the other options. Thanks for the reply.
How to get rid of the pink dots?
in Rendering

Just after you hit your "Final render" button, hit escape, and the render will be aborted. You can now use the export image command without rendering the scene twice. Although your render doesn't show on screen, it is rendered. If you like to make a preview first, you can always render first with lower quality settings. Hope this helps a little bit as well.
