    rectangular mesh surface

    in Architecture

    Posted

    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

    Door Glazing

    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

    '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.

    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.

    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.

    crashing

    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

    dimensions and crashing

    in Rendering

    Posted

    I've just upgraded to VW12 (Landmark/Renderworks) and am opening old VW11.5 files to work on (Mac OS 10.3).

    I can't select dimensions - it's as though they're invisible to the pointer. If I draw a new dimension I can delete it if I don't deselect it but once I've deselected it I can't touch it.

    Also some of the VW11.5 files won't open in VW12 - they start to open and then the program crashes.

    Thanks for help! Bea

    Tensile Architecture

    Does anyone use Vectorworks for designing tensile structures? And how would you do this? If not do you have any suggestions - we make shade structures and need a programme for the fabric cutting patterns.

    Many thanks.

    exporting eps

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    When I open an exported eps file from VW Landmark 10 to Illustrator 9 I get random spaces in text (ie he llo instead of hello). Could anyone tell me how to fix this (instead of doing it by hand in Illustrator)? (I'm using Mac OS 10.2)

    2D and 3D plans

    in Site Design

    Posted

    I have a 3D plan made up of walls, 3D polys etc. The polys are coloured. I would like to make a 2D plan of the same but filling the polys with patterns from the attributes palette. How can I do this without converting the 3D ploys to 2D polys (which would mean altering both of them if there were any changes to the drawing)?

    Very many thanks, Bea

    I was using the walkabout tool on a rendered 3D drawing and the colours all turned different shades of red, then green. Now when I try to render any view using GL I just get a completely black window. This black window now comes up whenever I render using GL (renderworks is fine) on all my files. I'm using VW Landmark 10 on a Mac. Please could you help???
