    dxf export without creating a new folder?

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    My CAM programs "Quick File import" doesnt search into sub- folders, so i always have to dive

    into the subdirectories manually- thats a little bit annoing.

    The programmer of the CAM solution solved the problem

    instantly by implementing subfolder browsing to the Import Plugin.

    Anyway i think it would be nice to have the option to disable

    creating the folder if possible ( i.e. if no hatches, fills etc. are exported)

    dxf export without creating a new folder?

    Hello,

    Is there a way to prevent VW (2016) from creating a new folder for each DXF Export?

    If i export without fills or hatches i dont see a reason to create a new folder for each file.

    My CAM programs "Quick File import" doesnt search into sub- folders, so i always have to dive

    into the subdirectories manually- thats a little annoing.

    I hope there is a solution- if not please add this to the wish list smile.

    Thank you and Kind Regards,

    Hannes

    This would be great for 3D piping, 3D handrails and other such things.

    I think what is really needed for that is a 3-D pipe plug-in. The plug-in would have a 3-D path, created from a (degree 1) nurbs curve, and a radius and diameter value. The plug-in would generate a pipe of the given diameter corresponding with the provided path, putting in curved pieces at the corners..

    I made a Plugin for such purposes, unfortunately it has one small bug. If the bug is eliminated maybe i will consider to make the tool availlable to others.

    Kind Regards,

    Editing exist. scripts

    Hi, no dumb question. Most PIOs in VW 9 are code protected so you can't edit them. What you can do is to copy a PIO from VW 8 into VW 9. Note that some code will not work without editing.HTH, Hannes

    Editing 3D objects !

    Kathie, Andrew, he talks about the extruded rectangle tool, not a extruded rectangle;-)

    Jono, the extruded rectangle tool creates a mesh, not a extrudet rectangle. It's not a good name for this tool...Best in my opinion is to draw a rectangle and extrude it, then you can edit just as Kathie mentioned.

    You can extrude with a value of '0' or use the 3d polygon tool.

    In Autocad EACH object you draw is 3d.VW has 2d and 3d objects, sorry, i don't know about the reason.

    script?

    Hi Ed, try the one below. You can run it from a cript palette or put the code into a menu command or a Tool. HTH,

    Hannescopy all below the line:**************************************************

    Procedure setActiveLayer;

    {Hannes Lackner 2002, Hannes Lackner@aon.at, free for everyone. This script allows the user to pick a object, then the object's Layer willbe set to active layer}

    VARH:Handle;BoolMouse:Boolean;px,py:Real;LOptions:Integer;LName:String;

    Begin

    LOptions:=GetLayerOptions;SetLayerOptions(5);{<<<sets the Layer options temporarily to show/snap/modify other's, because the Object you want to select may be on a Layer which is current not editable} GetPt(pX, pY);

    h:=PickObject(pX, pY);

    IF h<> Nil Then Begin LName:=GetLName(GetLayer(h)); Layer(LName); AlrtDialog(Concat('Active Layer is: ',LName)); END Else Begin AlrtDialog('SET ACTIVE LAYER TOOL: no object was selected, please try again');END;

    SetLayerOptions(LOptions);{<<<reset the Layer Option}

    END;

    Run(setActiveLayer);

    The simple door2 is a Pluginobject, which means that you can change size, style etc. by changing the parameter in the Objectinfo palette.

    Export to 3d applications

    I don't know about a Plugin for exporting to the applications you have mentionend, expect the one for Export to Artlantis render.You can use the DXF or DWG file format, maybe VRML will work too. You can use Export simple Vectorscript and imort the text file into Strata Studio 3D (i have no experience about this).I am sure NNA is working on other export format's.?

    did god use nurbs or polygons?

    I think he used Nurbs for woman and Polygons for men, makes sense, eh? grin.gif" border="0

    pat

    hello Pat,

    Yes we are talking about the same add on.

    I also use VW for cabinet design and don't think that the architektural version will bring you

    much advantage compared to the basic version.

    Are you aware about the 'Height'field in the

    objectinfo? Select your door and type in the value you want. Also if the door is a symbol you can edit the symbol and move the door up. In this case all inserted instances of the symbol in the drawing will change it's z- position.

    Here's a bizarre problem

    in Rendering

    Posted

    I also noticed this strange behaviour sometimes,

    i think its depending on the plain transparency shader or the glass reflectivity shader, or a combination of both...

    I am not able to reproduce this exactly, sometimes it works, sometimes not ( the same file).

    Mike

    In VW 9 You can also reshape the bottom of the wall. Use the 3d reshape tool and add a peak to each bottom corner of your garage door.Makes sense?
