Any word on when the update macOS or wks coming out. This really sucks. Spinning wheels, crashes freezing, can't save files, etc. Work around ?

Greetings all. I just purchased the Moasure 3d measuring tool and was wondering if anybody has experience in importing the data from it. There are 2 options on exporting the measure files. DXF comes right into wks drag and drop and what you get is a series of 3d lines connected together from the path you walked. The other option is to export a CVS file to excel then import that into a wks work sheet. It generates 3d loci with x,y, and z coordinates. attached are 2 screen shots (of a driveway I measured) of the 3d lines top view and isometric. Comments ? Thanks, Kurt

yes I've updated the DTM many times with no changes. In top plan wire frame view nothing shows, but in top view wireframe it shows. I can't select it in any view. When I cut and paste the DTM and site modifiers into new file its gone (3rd image). 🤔

Greetings I have some texture beds I wish to remove from a site model dtm I created. I deleted most of them but 2 of them that I deleted show the texture but not the bed outline. I can't select them because the texture bed is deleted. When I delete the texture in the resource palette the area goes white. any ideas ?

thanks SGSF 42, I only use "certain" so this helps a lot !

Yes this sucks, Love using sketch styles and now there is no control over them. It just spits out the same wobble up mess no matter what the settings. Vectorworks please fix this bug asap

thanks for the tip. I wondered what that setting did 😉

Well I got my computer issue resolved and downloaded 2021 and opened up my file, re created my panorama photo background and.... it works now ! many thanks to tech support. it also works way more smoothly when adjusting the angle too. Go figure. So if you want to do these panorama backgrounds I would highly suggest downloading 2021.

I sent a email to wks tech support and after they tried my file out they said that there was a bug in 2019 & 2020. She told me that it worked in 2021 so I am waiting for my main computer to be returned to me before I can try out 2021 (other twisted tale of woe )

Luis: Nice backgrounds but I need to be able to use site specific ones of the individual projects. You being a vectorworks employee can you address the reason this is happening or what Maxon requirements are ? Or contact somebody in the company who does know ? Thanks, Kurt

not that I know of. Yes a crap shoot and angle inputting is not that accurate either.

Hmm I just tried to import another panorama image in .png format and got the dreaded yellow background. Using 2020 version. now what gives ? What is the Maxon requirements ?

I called tech support. I was using jpeg files, they said thats the problem , use png files. So that works ! I converted my jpeg files to png files in Preview.

FYI this happens in 2019. I exported to 2018 and the panorama adjusts fine 😞

Greetings. I am having issues with manipulating panorama background images. When I import a background created with a Samsung gear 360 camera it comes in ok ( see attached) but when I want to rotate it to be in the correct ordination, the background turns all yellow ? What am I doing wrong ? Also the +/- rotation function in the background panorama dialog box is not very smooth at all (when it doesn't turn all yellow). Values of rotation inputted make it jump around not very accurately. Is there a trick to it ?
