Collision detection
amawork replied to Hans Jakob Muller's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
3D collision detection, excellent, that would make BIM-life so much better, sometimes it is hard to keep on top of making sure what you design in 3D actually is not interfering with each other. Basically, say cubes don't intersect, for example 3D object relations tick box etc. I read your post, but I thought my post falls into a similiar catagory like your post. Cheers -
Faster 3d display
amawork replied to VectorBob's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Hi there, yes the need for speed, I think that would be awesome, in my opinion the single most important thing really for future VectorWorks editions. What about file size? I guess that too, I mean a small detailed 3D eg kitchen takes easly 60MB! If one day it will be only max 6mb, I believe editing & any handling would be faster. Cheers -
Hi Tim, I did submit one issue to Maxon, eg when a light source in VW is made into a symbol, then in C4D the instance is not referenced to the light source, so you have to manually do that in C4D. Make sure you visit from time to time the Maxon download section, as soon as the latest patch is made they will publish it to download. Regards Andreas

Hi Tim, ComputerWorks Germany offers a download for the VW08 >> C4D http://www.computerworks.de/Downloads.402.0.html?&L=0 Patches CINEMA 4D Exchange-Plugin: download for mac "Export aus VectorWorks 2008" download for win "Export aus VectorWorks 2008" Cheers & have fun ;-)

thx, works pretty good, this effect makes sense for computer monitors as well ...

hey, with the 3d power pack you can create a light beam volume, then create a transparent bright mirror texture and place a spotlight with same direction, i tried it, looks ok, the problem is that it is not easy to creat a glowing/illuminating texture, use the "loft tool" to create out of a duplicated light instrument (ungroup/ungroup) >nurbs to 3d locus point the volume of a light beam >>glowing/self illuminating textures should be a wish list item ... i will put it on next year anyone has some tips to create such textures ???

i had some blend edge difficulties with object created out of high resolution polylines, a good tip: before changing a polyline to a polygon, change under file>>vectorworks preferences 2d conversion resolution to low, medium etc. then advance your 2d base to 3d (eg extrude) after that preconfiguration, a complicated 3d object seems easier to blend edges like you want them to be blended

so true kevin, users seem to forget, the FREE 3D PowerPack ... that came with the VW9 upgrade VW9 was worth buying and VW10 has many outstanding features to make it another bargain at these low upgrade prices ... a must buy, for productive cad workers

Boolean primitives
amawork replied to sakkaraju's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
I am a fan of the new "3d power tools" altough I wish more acuracy with the blend edges tool, since that tool is really great, but with rounded or more complex forms it seems that it rarely works, it is hard to explain, but I guess you guys know it, when making a complex polyline then extruding it, then the blend edge tool is is not working with it. will this stay like that in vw10 ? or vw11 is the sm lib the reason why it ain't working ? -

hello, i guess it will soon work with 9.5.1 and the version 10.5.1i need to say vectorworks is the best cad program i know of, wtg vectorworksbut till the next releases i got cpu power to render - so here my question to you:i was wondering if you can suggest a dual processor enabled render software ?- what about maxon?- or lightwave7? thanks for tips regards
-
mikeBthanksfor this good tip i will try it

hi mikeBI was also finding myself not happy with the sharpness of the rendered product,you said "change the pixel dimension"where can I find that great function ? thanks for the tip
