[japanese text]

from mc3.1(1985) to vw11.5, japanese texts in drawings are accepted correctly except for layer names, class names etc.

you may re-assign font names for those texts to resolve the problem.

also ask your partner in japan to name layers, classes etc in alphabet.

Is it known how many VW users there are out there? (Katie)!

as for the popularity, some japanese users see VW as AC of Mac.

[What RenderWorks textures do you need?]

Hi sean,

Shoji is my wish.

Paper for screen which randmize directional light ie. sun.

a must for Japanese styled housing.

Since MC+3.1

[Vectorworks Woes]

As a MC/VW user since 1985, i am sure i can be more "artistic" using VW tha acad.

i am now help rendering railway station projects drawn in acad.

sometimes lines are "edges" in reality which cannot be replaced by pen #s.

in a rough design presentation, you can easily draw like this:

1

export hidden line image in .psd.

2

export final RW image in .psd.

3

merge them in photoshop after some retouches.

please refer to

http://www.tcp-ip.or.jp/~ask/nak1208/1208.htm

in final renderings, put only glass, metal or image textures in RW leaving tile surface and others to PhotoShop.

please refer to

with MC since 1985

VWA 9.5.2

MacOS 9.2.2

shoji let the most of the light go through, but blocks the image to be seen from the other side.
