[Paint Color Percentages]

Dear VW Users, 

 

My client has selected a Sherwin Williams paint color for the gallery walls but, they're having it mixed at 30%. I don't find a way to alter the percentages of SW colors in my drawing. Am I not finding it or is this feature unavailable?

Thanks!

[dimensions in a 3d perspective viewport]

Fellow VW'ers,

 

I cannot seem to find the answer to how to display dimensions in a 3d perspective viewport. I'm creating a small object and wanting to share with the client. Orthogonal top, side, face drawings would not be as legible to the client. Any help please?

Thanks,

Pony

[Camera Match Photo import orientation]

Hey Matt,

I'm having the same issue as HEengineering - my photo imports rotated 90 degrees left. I've rotated the file on my computer but no matter what I do it rotated 90 degrees left. Any thoughts please?

Thanks,

Henry

[Image Prop Crop]

Cool. Thanks Markdd. I'll take it to photoshop. I was just hoping I had not found a VW tool that already existed.

[Image Prop Crop]

I have built an oval frame for a painting but the image I want to place into it is rectangular. Is there a way to crop an image prop?

Thanks!

[Image Props Invisible on Sheet Layer using Hidden Line]

Just tried it. It works nicely! Thanks very much!

[Image Props Invisible on Sheet Layer using Hidden Line]

I've created elevations views on a Sheet Layer of a room that has a number of paintings on the wall. The paintings are built using image props. I'd like to render the elevations in Hidden Line but when I do, the image props are not visible not even as a shape or outline. Is there a setting I can adjust to make the image props visible. Thanks!

[Create animation problem]

Thanks very much! I'll try reducing the window size.

 

A related question please - 

Often when I'm in the edit path animator, the arched line connecting one saved view to another appears to be flat (see view 8 to view 9 below). When I raise one of the "beads" the line drops below the bottom edge of the graph. What does this mean? What did I do when saving view 8 (or view 9) to cause this?

Thanks!

[Create animation problem]

Hi JimW,

 

I just began attempting to create a move along path animation and am having the same difficulty Jonny31 describes. I am using a 5k iMac. Does this affect saving an .mov file somehow?

Thanks!

[animation saves as zero bytes?]

This is happening to me as well. Came here hoping for any assistance or insights. I've tried to create a move along path animation on three different files to see if perhaps the initial file I wanted to animate may have been corrupted somehow. But I get the same result on all three files - zero bytes. 

[Bending a tube extrusion]

I have a 1-inch square tube I need to put a bend in (30 and 45). Would someone point in the right direction on how to?

Thanks!

[Image wrap on cylinder]

Excellent! I do have Renderworks so I'm gonna start working on it. Thanks very much!

[Image wrap on cylinder]

I'm using VW2016 and I'd like to place an image on a cylinder - like a soup can. I'm sure it's easy if you know how, but I don't.

Any help please?
