[Solid 3D object isn't solid]

@Pat Stanford It's an extrude from a 2D rectangle.

Also tried to convert to a generic solid.

 

[Solid 3D object isn't solid]

Dear Vectorworks user,

 

Can someone help me with this.

Is have a Solid object but in openGL and renderworks it doesn't appear as a solid. 

Is this a setting?

 

Thanks in advance!

[Power distribution]

I'm interested in Connectcad but I want to know if you can make power diagrams with it? And if it works with Spotlight.

For example: can I make a distribution panel 125A > 6* H16 and link the H16 to Multi numbers used with the lighting fixtures? And see the total power usage on the 125A?  

 

Thanks in Advance!

[Duplicate symbol with fixed distance]

@MRoth Thank you very much! This is exactly what I was looking for. 

You're scripting style is much better than my beginner's style 😉

[Duplicate symbol with fixed distance]

@MRoth Thank you! But still too much actions. I want to make them as a shortcut with the numeric keypad. For example CMD + shift + 6 for moving 207,2 on the x-axis or CMD + shift + 4 for moving -207,2 on the x-axis.

 

Something comparative to this. The buttons would be great also but I think that isn't possible within Vectorworks.

 

[Duplicate symbol with fixed distance]

@Pat Stanford I would like to make a "command" if I have selected a symbol I can duplicate it with a fixed distance om X Y Z. This would be nice to draw big scaffolding objects. It are quite a lot components so it would speedup the workflow because most distances are 207,2cm or 103,6.

 

[Duplicate symbol with fixed distance]

Dear fellow VWX users,

 

Probably easy for the most of you but can someone help me with a script for duplicating a symbol with a fixed distance. For example a piece of scaffolding is 207,2cm and I want to duplicate. So if I assign a shortcut to the script I can doe it quickly without to go to array or something.

 

Thanks in advance!

[Housepoints vs straight drop]

Thank you all!

The method of @jcogdell worked.

1 little bug in my testfile: 2 house rigging points where calculated on new points made by Braceworks and the other points where calculated to the grayed points.

[Housepoints vs straight drop]

@BSeigel Thank you for your answer! That's exactly what I'm trying to do but it doesn't snap the house rigging point.

[Housepoints vs straight drop]

Hi Everybody,

 

Does anyone know how to attach a single bridle or motor direct to a house riggingpoint? I get only bridles with more then one leg to work.

 

Thanks in advance!

[Hoist DWG export]

Is it possible to export hoists (3D) with data? If I send an exported file to a rigging company they only see a symbol with a number and not what kind of hoist it is.
