[Design Summit?]

@Don Seidel  xxxx.  Literally says on the CDC website its not the flu. Killing plenty of people worldwide. 

The point is to stop it spreading further.

 

no need to reply.

 

[New Mac Pro (2019)]

it would be like buying a Ferrari to go to the local shop........!!!  

 

will look nice but you'll never change out of first gear to use vectorworks. 

[Swift Action Needed: Rendering integration so VW companies can stay Competitive]

$58.25 per month for enscape or $59.99 per month for Cinema 4d.....

[Round Door Opes - very poor]

hi @Frank Brault  ignore me !  idiot alert! - had curved geometry set at low in settings.... please feel free to delete post! 

[Round Door Opes - very poor]

hi @Frank Brault , its done in renderworks not openGL (its a section view if any use?)

 

[Round Door Opes - very poor]

section image of door tool, set to round cased opening - really poor and not round! 

[repair fails to complete]

yes, won't work for me either

[Swift Action Needed: Rendering integration so VW companies can stay Competitive]

I can't see redshift in vectorworks anytime soon, they haven't got it on macs without nivdia cards yet in C4D. 

They might make an attempt at Pro Render integration next !

 

 

[insertion of a symbol in wall]

+1 to what Pat said! 

[insertion of a symbol in wall]

does the plan wall offset not work for your window symbols?  

[Creating a split level in a 3D model]

maybe add a new level to the ground floor story for the higher slab. You will need to approach as two different slabs , with new steps (probably make as an extrude rather than with stair tool) 

Use the z ref to pick the level you require etc.

 

or try here:  https://learn.archoncad.com/blog/2013/07/10/stories-with-vectorworks/

 

 

[Confusing BIM suitability codes and processes]

slightly clearer , but..... 

 

 

[Tips for increasing rendering realism within vectorworks?]

@Tanner Shelton as the others have mentioned , you probably need to go to an external render to get good realism , I use the same C4D/Corona workflow as mentioned by EAlexander (but it will also depend on the Client and the value of the project ! I like the sketch style in vectorworks option also)  below typical image from modelling in vectorworks to rendering in Corona.

 

 

 

 

[Tips for increasing rendering realism within vectorworks?]

let's see an image first !

 

[Render just fog]

would it be not be easier to create the fog in photoshop?

 

 

 

[Muntins customisation possible?]

you will probably have to use 3-5 individual windows first and then make that a new symbol group

[2020 - Worth upgrading yet?]

its not as buggy as 2019 and have found it stable on Catalina , no new functions/workflow enhancements that jump out..... 

[Hotkeys]

you can customise the workspace and change/add your own personal hot keys - not sure about the mouse button options...

[is version 2020 behaving]

better behaved than 2019...!

[Timber Cladding]

try this : 

  

[Timber Cladding]

you can use textures from somewhere like cgtextures?

might be easier than than modelling each board!

[v.2020 now available]

hideous....  resource browser is worse !🤮

 

[render resolution]

have you changed the DPI on the viewport sheets? up to about 250 for renders?

[Georeferencing settings]

@bgoff will there be any vectorworks training videos on how to use new feature?

Until this is complete, there may not be major improvements to any of the BIM features since they were developed using legacy code and would be quickly become out of date.

 

I think you are wrong on this unfortunately - my understanding is that these tools are made by other companies and supplied to vectorworks -

as for the listening - seems to be the same things asked for and the same disappointment each year ? think it was 2015 last time stair tool got an update?
