If you want to make it completely in vectorworks, just use subdivision modelling. I've done some towels with it and the effect is awesome...no import needed. You can use a flat plane..form it like u want it. SO you should give this a try! all the best ;-)

guess i found the answer, in 2012 the renderengine was r8, now in 2017 the r15 is integrated. therefor it has much more variables to calculate and stuff. for the test, I was rendering in the design layer. screen res was the same. the test was a simple structure of a few, like 4, boxes on a plane. with same settings and same screen res it took about 4 sec in 2012 6 sec in 2016 7 sec in 2017 same file / same screen / same machine we have a few pc's for testing purpose where I work. rendersettings = renderworks

Hi everyone, I just experienced the following issue. The same file, opended in VW2012 with an "old" mac and opened in VW2017 with a brand new machine. Why does it take longer on the new machine with the latest hardware? I mean, the ram is the same both 8GB but in the old it has only 1333MHz and also both have the same cpu an i5 with 3.2 GHz but also the i5 in the old machine is almost 5 years old...? How can I improve it, or will it be improved within the servie packs? How is this even possible...i would realy like to understand it. All the best and thanks in advance! Cheers volker

Hi everyone, is it possible to use normal maps in vectorworks? Or will this be a feature for 2018 when it has the r18 integrated?

https://www.mtextur.com/materials/20413?locale=de-CH also check out the site..has a bunch of free stuff there..more than 10.000 seamless materials for architects a dream come true.. then use this site to dreate missing maps: http://cpetry.github.io/NormalMap-Online/

maybe with NOMAD?

THANK YOU!!!

Get via google picture search a big texture of what u need, then use this or google for a seamless texture directly http://www.the-orange-box.com/portfolio/free-seamless-textures-generator-v-2/ u r welcome ;-)

Hi everyone, I have some trouble with the webview/vr that came with vw2017. Lately I observe, that the export takes like forever. 3D-model hast 123MB export in lowest quality gains 44MB but takes 10+ minutes to create (when choosing not to upload on vw-server), it has 79MB and takes almost 30 min+ to create. It also takes the same time when uploading to the VW-server, this was way quicker a few days/weeks ago. What happend here? Def. not a problem of my internet connection - see screenshot for speed. I can't do anything with vectorworks while it is exporting because there is that beachball constant spinning. I also exported just the logo, and this took also more than 10 minutes....?! //Way quicker when every lettre is seperate and not in a group. ;-) When opening I get a lot of script-issues...see screenshot. It says script is not answering and might be damaged. Some 3D-Elements look weird now - e.g. screenshot Wish Change the opengl at least to 3.0!!! 2.1 feels like doom or duke nukem back in 1998 :-/ This is not state of the art and customers are very unhappy with the quality atm. FYI: MacBook Pro Late2013 i7 2,3Ghz // 16GB Ram // Firefox latest So is there anything I did wrong? Is there anything I could help? I really think this is a great feature and I want it to be better! All the best from germany, volker

Hey bjoerka, something similar happens in the WebView. Depending which directions you look, the glas is visible or not. But thnak sfor sharing this information, gonna try it today as well and will let you know what I can find out. Yeehaaa... :-)

Hi there everyone, atm I am checking the webview but so far i couldn't turn on light and create a night scene. could someone give me a hint how to create this?
