I think so. QR codes have come a long way, but they are not a substitute for an interactive table of contents (ToC) aka Index of Drawings. In my mind, a QR code someplace is an opportunity for a client, a tradesperson, or a colleague to DL a set of drawings. An interactive ToC is a way for people to navigate within the set of drawings, whether that's in a PDF Viewer, VWX proper, or using VCS. Two different things. Also the idea of generating QR codes for that kind of navigation is beyond maddening.

Dividers for Layers and Sheets

this would also greatly simplify things for new users. -

'liked' only so far as that is an excellent workaround. It will get the show hung, but It won't help you with Vision or other means or pre-program/pre-viz.

This is an issue that needs to be addressed in a future version.In the meantime, I have worked around by either painstakingly manually positioning instruments, OR adding hanging positions hidden or buried in the truss. If possible on other layers so that things do not get confused by trying to attach to the wrong places.

pile of crumbled up soft tissue paper
Kevin Allen replied to Bertadesign's topic in General Discussion
Since Unity is used for so much gaming, I would look for an answer there. -
pile of crumbled up soft tissue paper
Kevin Allen replied to Bertadesign's topic in General Discussion
Strata used to have a number of functions to explode and particularize. Probably not something VWX users are generally looking for. Unless they are clearing land in Vegas. If those functions, our Strata for that matter, still exist, I have no idea. I also don't know if they can be exported to something importable. Or how much geometry that might be. -
I would hiss it will depend on the final product. I have done awnings like this and the 3D geometry really helped to bend the pipe. I've also done things that were hand sculpted and/or thermoplastics and that could be done from references and hand doodles. Typically clients cannot any longer make the leap from doodles to finished product, they need to see a rendered model.

yes. Textures and spheres would likely be my approach. I don't know about the exchange, but some other 3D program might be better suited to this task. -
looks like a complex assembly of NURBS objects, mostly Lofts. I would say that just because the ribbon is one object IRL, it likely needs to be modeled as separate pieces.

I have invested in your Dentist.

But I think this needs to be aded to the VE? I might have missed it. With the VE as I read it, I would have to replace the 10 with a 5, then move as suggested by @Mark Aceto and then add a stick? We don't have an easy methodology to add?

What if I want to replace a 10' with 2 five footers?

Snapping plate was revived in v2022 IIRC. The settings and preferences are now locked in the lower right hand corner of the application window.

I have had this issue, I forget how I fixed it. @markdd? @MrTemplate?

really nice render.

Have you tried multiple emitters?

Help - Drawing polygons with specific angles
Kevin Allen replied to amyc's topic in General Discussion
using the Polygon tool, not the regular polygon tool, draw a line and mid stroke, use the tab key to activate the floating data bar. Enter lengths and angles in the Floating Data Bar (aka FDB). You may need to tab around the FBD to activate the fields you need. -
Feature Request: emissive RGBW, RGBA, RGBAW etc... object
Kevin Allen replied to ALHP's topic in Vision and Previsualization
Not just Vision, there needs to be a viable LED tape object in Vectorworks/Renderworks as well. In an ideal world those objects, like lighting devices, need to export to other renderers (C4D, Twinmotion, etc)- 1 reply

I don't think Braceworks supports ground supported systems?

I should say the written help files are really excellent, I have not looked for this answer, but the university guides and really lacking.
