Sorry - been away. Thank you Islandmon - I'll try. Bea

Katie, thank you ! I ran software update to OS 10.3.9 and disk utility and Open GL now works fine with old files. Sorry DB! Bea

I'm exporting a nurbs surface as a dxf but the person importing the file needs the surface to be a rectangular mesh - he says my file is a triangular mesh. The shape is a square sail - twisted to give two high corners diagonally opposite each other and two low corners. Could anyone tell me how I could get this rectangular mesh? Many thanks Bea

In my 'settings', in 'parts', I don't have a list called 'special classes'. Is this because I have Landmark rather than Architect? If so how do I get clear glazing? Thanks Bea Mac G4 OS 10.3 VW12.0.1

Katie Disk Utility repair doesn't help. Bea

Katie 'Get more info' in 'About this mac' says my version is 10.3 (no third digit). Haven't run disk utility for a long time - I'll try it. Some files open and the error message comes when I render with Open GL. Wth other files the error message comes as the files are opening - these may have been saved in VW11 with a layer rendered in Open GL. Bea

Please could someone tell me where the masonry stair option is in VW12? Or has it gone? Thanks, Bea

Travis - I've got VW 12.0.1 - would this be the latest version of OpenGL? And a G4, OS10.3, 1.5gb - I think I'm going to have to upgrade .... Thanks, Bea

George, thanks for help! Bea

Found it! I changed the workspace to Landmark as opposed to Landmark Classic.

Thanks George I have Landmark and not VW Arch - in my Arch tool set there's no furniture tab - tried to add it using customise tool set but can't work it out. Bea

Could you let me know how to access the handrail in VW12 - I can see it in the plug-ins folder but I can't find it using the resource browser. Many thanks. Bea

There's no error message (apart from 'the application Vectorworks has unexpectedly quit ....') - the program just quits. Some VW11 files do open - they seem to work but when I render with open GL the program quits - doesn't do this with other rendering methods. If a layer is already in open GL in a VW11 file VW12 will quit during the converting to VW12 process. Hope this is enough information ... Thanks Bea

Why is VW12 crashing when I try to open VW11 files in VW12? (Mac OS 10.3). Thanks for any suggestions! Bea

Thanks Travis - that's great - it's working now. Bea
