Setting the Z of a 2D object in the oIP would be a useful VE, IMHO

Which Metric/Imperial info? Stand heights?

are you a VSS subscriber? Is the animation too large to render in one job?

at this pic nt, I think you're correct. That's why I suggest a VE.
In the meantime, the other apps allow dims to be entered, MagicPlan can bluetooth to SOME lasers. In turn you can draw walls, correct the length with the laser and export a file to import/trace in VWX.

I would put in a VE for more features. I don't recall the full capabilities of Nomad Measure, but

Look at FloorPlanner and MagicPlan to add to your arsenal.

To clarify. I'm guessing, we're all guessing, at the final results desired. it looks to me like a series of flat panels. I agree that sarong with a 2D rectangle/polys gives the base layout.
I think the desired results are flat planes of sheet metal or some other thin material. I m unclear as to whether the gaps are wanted.
Once the points re determined in 3D space, I would use the 3D Polygon tool to make the polys and then the Shell Solid tool to get the thickness. If the gaps are desired, that's probably it. It these 3D objects need to mitre, some fussing will be required.

No. There is a measure feature in VWX Nomad.
-
Are the Gaps intentional? I would use 3D Locus objects and 3D Ploygons
-
or the curved wall tool. Not sure what the end result is to be. The wall tools, with appropriate settings, can also give you platforms.
-
I'm still a little unclear, but wouldn't this be easier in 3D?
-
can you add a picture?
-
You kind of do need a bluetooth connection. The iOS Measure app is weak. MagicPlan can be a PITA without a connection to a laser. Floorplanner looks kind if cool, but all imperfect. I think measure and survey deserve a VE for VCS.
-
I don't see this issue. UV is on by default, and stays on for me, unless I open a very old file.
-
hmmm, I know I've had the same frustration in other programs. Nor sure about AI or CC in general.
-
Isn't this a function of the OS?
-
connectCAD?

Reach out to them, OZcad is very responsive and perhaps there is a 2020 version, ie maybe the 2019 version will work. I love AnimationWorks, BUT if you're after something articulated, like a dancer AnimationWorks cannot create that type of movement. You could get an object to track through.
-
There is a somewhat older Escalator tool in the Architect toolset. Not sure if it's included with Spotlight.
-
Maybe I missed it, but I would want a count of the tiles and types. I'd want them in 3D. Not sure there's a good way to count symbol, or keep records attached...
-
got it. I don't speak c4d 😎

I just poked around a bit too. I was going to comment on the number of point lights, each of which adds considerable computing time. Multiple points lights add time exponentially.
I was going to experiment with a vectorworks spotlight object or two. Also wondering if there is a solution with IES files and custom lights.
GI means...?
-
I typically use Duplicate Array, BUT when trimming that will mess with counts.
-
I've done this type of thing on a smaller scale, but painstakingly manually.

I would say the quickest and easiest way would be subdivision modeling. Depending on what you need in the esn, place some 3D Loci Objkects and connect using the 3D Polygon tool to make each face.
