[7 WISHES VECTORWORKS 2009]

I am an expert user of VectorWorks ans user since MiniCad 3 and teacher of 2008

my whish list is simple

"new user friendly vectorworks"

1.- keyboard shortcuts improvements, the program has the same shortcuts since minicad 3 but shortcuts have no relation between them for example tool zone is ok but numbers must have only tools not modification tool and an relation for modificatin tool for example rotate an 3d rotate in the same key with opt for example , a very good idea is to use STANDARD INDUSTRY SHORT CUTS for example maya modo cinema uses the same short cuts so new users learn very fast

2.- better palette organization, attributes palete is confuse for new users, it can be anexed to info palete we don need that window any more, constrains pallete also can be added on mode tool bar new align palette color palette add an substract pallete on info can be useful, more graphic interface, see for example mac programs palettes are very friendly and new user will learn fast

3.-Better object creation and modification, isometric object creation, multiple view vindow, for 3d for example we can reextrude an extruded polygon with mouse with more points for modification on insometric view, like it always where a mesh, rotate tool in corners just like adobe illustrator and photoshop

4.-A better resoureces pallete window new users don't even imagine the millons of libraries inside the folders mabe a fast catalog view since resources pallete or a reorganized pallete with the new libraries optimized

5.- 3d selection tool had a fast way to view isometric views that 2008 does not have and with new apple keyboards is very complicated to switch to a 3d views fast

6.-an faster hyperrealistic render engine but maybe maxwell render export for start, its the only impotant cad that does not have the plug in

7.- subdivision technology for 2009 is very ambicious but maybe for 2010

thanks for the best industry solution cad

and thanks for reading this

[Artlantis Studio Export Problem]

Jam windows appear inside the wall when exporting from vectorworks 2008 to artlantis studio 2.0

The problem comes since 12.5 to Artlantis Studio 1.2

http://www.artlantis.com/index.php?page=support/forum/read&fid=atl_general_us&mes=7414

Is this a VectorWorks problem or an artlantis problem

[VW12.0.1, sloping jambs and Artlantis R]

i have the same problen and, no its not an artlantis problem, the slopes appear in open gl mode in vw

[C4D Plug-in]

HOW MUCH COST THE PLUG IN

[CINEMA 4D PLUG-IN]

WHERE CAN I GET THE CINEMA 4D PLUG IN, JUST THE PLUG IN.

[artlantis 4.5 export]

i think i have not explained my problem well .

yes i can export to artlantis 4.5 with the 9.5 plug in, and i can open the archive, but when it opens the archive it can only be savesd as .atl archive so when a want to export again on update mode i canot update the archive.

im talkin about the plug in that places on plug ins folder and loads with workspace editor.

the thing that is on the utilities folder is a converter from opt/db binary archive to .art single archive.

[VECTORWORKS 10 ITS STILL THE BEST CAD BUT...]

IT URGENTLY NEEDS: INDEPENDENT WINDOW FOR LAYERS AND CLASSES, A WAY DO DESIGN ON MULTIPLE VIEWS ISOMETRIC FOR EXAMPLE AND NOT URGENTLY: A NEW RENDER ENGINE BECAUSE RENDERWORKS ITS SO SLOW AND POOR YOU SHOULD CONTRAT ARTLANTIS TO DO THIS. AND A STRUCTURAL MODULE TO CALCULATE WEIGTH

[artlantis 4.5 export]

have you noticed that artlantis 4.5 change his format archives from .opt/.db to .atl? so the artlantis export plug in doesn't work anymore for updating, what is going to happend are we going to have a new plug in or artlantos do this only to give support to archicad
