C4D + Corona !

5 mins.....

2-3 days! What !! if you want realistic renders then you may want to consider a third party render option instead of an iMac pro. ie C4D and Corona Render? (cheaper also!) Below is image , modelled in vectorworks , exported to c4d and rendered in corona (1hr !) - you should also look at why render works is taking that long?!

You can edit the section lines, location etc , probably need to add textures in viewport annotations to get what your after......

mine - built for width! single screen only...

famous last words but no problems so far!

very jealous ..... why TF is this not available in europe (or elsewhere!)

thought the new updater was good and worked well ! there is an option under advanced for offline update - maybe this gives a link to download.....

UPDATE: best performance works also - just the middle setting makes it a mess..

yes its High Sierra , changed setting to best compatibility only and this has stopped the black appearing.....

can't see my own signature ? ! how to I change that? no its 2019 on an iMac 5k, 27" , 4.2 GHz i7, 40gb ram and radeon pro 575 4gb.... tried the same pdf in 2018 and it works fine... guessing a bug then...

it was on good performance and compatibility already!!

I've a pdf in a design layer, everytime I zoom in , it turns black for 1/2 secs before going back to white - Have I a setting wrong somewhere or a bug? (was hard to catch with a screenshot !)

they've been very clear ....don't upgrade yet.....

Looks like BIM in relation to Vectorworks means something different.... B(uild) I(t) M(anually) !!!

very , very few, vectorworks files on BimObject (692 in total) , compared to about 80,000 for revit......

think a 'to do' list is required 😀....... wishing doesn't do it anymore!!

Hi Wes, solves the dimensions problem but my only issue with that is its not live , ie you have to copy the window to another layer each time you make a change to windows or elevations (defeats the purpose of BIM in the first place) If only they could make the image editable ....

just curious as to others preferred method for doing window (or door) schedules? While the worksheets are fine for text , I've now resorted to making a separate worksheet for window images and scaling it up in a layer , then I make a viewport of each window onto the sheet (locking viewports in position otherwise viewports jump) - only drawback is you can't add dimensions to viewport as they are images rather than hidden line. Any other favoured methods in use?

some steps ok, some not....

Might just be me, but the paint bucket seems to be selective about what it will and won't fill in 2019 when in annotation mode. ie will flood fill glazing in window elevation but not pick the frame (same window)? or the wall its in?

Its embarrassing at this stage....... “For this release, we listened closely to our customers and balanced new innovations with exceptional quality and performance improvements,” said Vectorworks CEO Dr. Biplab Sarkar. “Specifically, in Vectorworks 2019 we concentrated on our customers’ most common workflows and usage patterns to increase their overall productivity with Vectorworks products across the board.” Stairs, windows, doors are not part of architects common workflow?! do not need performance improvements?! ....

plan view - make a rectangle of the area you want to subtract - copy rectangle - select roof (in top plan) - edit group - paste rectangle in place and exit group - area should be removed (if I've remembered those steps correctly!)

you could make shortcut or right-click option in the workspace editor...

Looks great ! well done Corona gives such good results and is so easy to use.
