    Isn't it more complex than just a curve? I have done shows with 'stands' for the panels that facet into curves. Having access to that hardware and being able to readily add that would be terrific.

    what do you mean by non-parallel walls? Walls with uneven thicknesses?

    Going back to in-person should not be done with the idea that covid is over. I am a proponent of Hybrid events. I might go to an on-peson Summit, depending on location.

    That has been my workaround, BUT if I am showing something and there is iMag, it would be ideal if the screen updated as the design evolved. Pretty much a first world 'problem.'

    That is how I read the question as well. I agree it cannot be done, BUT it would be nice.

    try the split tool
  7. Kevin Allen
    Well, it is in no way up to me. Above my pay grade, but it would be sweet.

    and perhaps, like the Update Viewport button, it ought to turn red when an update is required?

    not for the weak of heart

    1. use a Reflectivity>glow texture or Reflectivity>Backlit and add a red Area Light behind.
  11. Kevin Allen
    Sounds like options would be nice. I generally use 01, 02, etc

    Pf course, I remembered a video that described how to make this very thing. A quick search and I find that @Matt Panzer made the tutorial and used Perimeter mapping. Is there a VE to bring that back? I'd like to up vote. FYI:

    I'd be curious to see that hexes tile on a flat surface. have you tried using the brick shader and bump in the VWX texture definition? What are those cabinet faces?
  14. Kevin Allen
    I'd be curious to see what you're after. Not sure these all correspond to how VWX defines a texture. Not thinking of 'limitations' but of differing approaches.

    I was recently asked to teach VWX in 2D. I was flummoxed. I've been a user since MiniCAD v3 and tried to do more in 3D than that version was designed to accomplish. Why use a computer in 2D?
  16. Kevin Allen
    Yes, seems like a slip of the mouse. There is an extra point. When deleted the adjustable length is shown.

    why not Vectorworks Cloud?

    Adobe Illustrator exports to dwg, but I find that export/import process often imperfect. This is especially true of the deign includes elegant curves that DWG converts to many short lines.

    I am sure I have a VE on this or similar somewhere along the way. VWX used to import the native AI file format as vector art. Somewhere along the way VWX lost that ability. So, once upon a time, I could design a logo in AI, import into VWX and manipulate/detail for signage, as one example. Currently, I have to retrace any graphic creating an opportunity for error.

    I am not a Landscape Designer, but I do use some of these tools. This is really a universal need and solution. I have been, however, generally amused but the subject heading.

    what 'package' are you rocking?
  22. Kevin Allen
    that was some sweet tech

    Not sure where Foliage ships, it is more of a rendering device than a planning tool. Foliage provides no plant inventory, it merely spreads, somewhat randomly, images/textures. I generally find it in the Visualisation Tool Palette.
  24. Kevin Allen
    Do you mean the Foliage tool?

    I have taught at Montclair State and have several students from there working professionally and using the software. I have and am teaching at Rutgers MGSA. Not sure about the last batch and these are all freshmen.
