thanks, P, how do i move the glass in relation to the wall (can i?) i've checked use wall depth but the window does not fit properly (too big)

hi please tell me a tip for making walls chamfered at the window openings. I am renovating an 1800's church (22" thick stone walls)and want to make an accurate model. The envelope will remain the same but the interior is being designed as a modern living space. thanks for any/all help... would be great if they read chamfered in 3-d with those sculptured openings but that may be a far-fetched fantasy!

I am using 12 and cannot make my exported images legible..I change the resolution to no avail, they still come out small and when I zoom in on them no matter how large are not readable...arrrgh! I need to email a simple kitchen floor plan and cannot!!! thanks for your help!

I was not asking for much- just fast renderworks!

I am modeling a samll kichen with some extruded cabinets and a few plug-ins 12,000kb. It was so annoying when I could not show the model rendered at a cleint meeting..thank god I had jpegs

I hope theres an easy remedy for the agonizing slowness of renderings and (fairly often) failure to render at all from wireframe. It started with my downloading 12.5? Any thoughts? 12.5 on XP

I turn letters into truetype but then how to extrude...as they disappear

I assume I can make a banner waving in the breeze with NURBS. i'll look it up thanks for your help

Is there a way to make text 3-d. I wanted to put a banner on a building with a sign that has legible letters on the fabric and is an object that can be seen in 3-d. I'm using V12 0n xp

thanks I overlooked not being in top/plan...oops! thx

I seem to remember I was once able to change the overall size of a group in the object info palette tool. Is there a way to do this in 12? perhaps I've just forgotten a step...many thanks

I do not batch convert (intentionally). does that mean my old 10 files could only be opened in 12? That would be insanity for me as I rest easy in the fact I can rely on 10. I was told by tech support to change the way the file opened in Properties. This was unsuccessful with that file (of course the one I needed to render the most at that moment). I ended up having to send them the file to convert. I suspected the problem lied in the number of layer links, but after reading your other post, it could be my excessive us of plug-in objects.

I am trying to "artistic render" (in oil painting mode) a model. I do not notice mush differnence in the rendering when I try to render it with htis accesoory any suggestions to accentuate it? I'd love to make this perspective I've created into a drawing looking hand rendered ...is this possible with vectorworks alone? please offer any suggestions..i do not have time to hand render it even with a good stencil below so I am relying on a good manipulated image. thanks

need to make a sky..what/where do I find this? thanks much

while I love the delicious textures and people (finally!) & adjustsble ones too! the possibilities are endless...thanks!, I despise having to send drawings to tech support in 10 to convert to 12 as its impossible on my new xp laptop.....oh well love this softare but why does it double in size from v.10 to 12? so sorry to rant but BTW what is a renderworks background ???... i hate sky dome so I need it but alas cannot access help without going on line (used to be in the software) love m

I've really given up on sky domes as they're a cumbersome lot (for me anyway) so now I just put up an extrusion where necessary and give it sky texture...ok works great most times but now I'm getting a mirror effect on the sky so there are errant trees floating randomly here and there...anybody have some advice, ideas?

doe anyone have a tip for opening old drswings like v10?

I should say I have a new windows xp operating system laptop w/ 2 gz processor.

I waited patiently while it did its hour glass blinking thing...then presto! crash! Its not an educational version as someone suggested, at least I hope not. I can't believe I will not be able ot work on my old drawings YIKES!

I cannot open up my old drawings in 12...Is this common? They are large models with lots of texture, etc thanks

cancel that! its magic!... it worked thanks a million!

I can't figure out what a path object is..even more confusing the circle is in plan while the line object is in elevation...uh-oh I'm confused

Can someone help me make a "candy cane" shape? many thanks

Nicholas, Thanks for opening up a whole other world of surfaces for me..a great help! Can one change the shape of an "onion" once its built without redrawing it from scratch?

Actually I need a round dome (onion shaped) like those old orthodox churches...the base of the dome is an octagonal shaped rim joist if you will...but this may help as I soon a I figure out what Loft does- thanks propstuff...hope EJ still will help.
