Hello @pgorski1984 I will need to look at the file to tell what is going on, can you DM this to me through the forum messaging?  I will not use it except for debugging this issue.

I've sent you the file. If you find what causes rendering errors - please write it here so more VW users will know what mistakes we sholud avoid.

[Maxon Redshift Texture Errors]

Hi!
I am testing Redshift rendering engine and I have some problems with textures on LED screens in Spotlight. 

I have file with 3 led screens. One renders OK, but other two renders with errors. Same file rendered with Redshift disabled - everything is OK. 

 

Any ideas? All textures on screens are set to exactly same parameters.

[Braceworks Wrong Calculation]

I have problem with Braceworks calculation of very easy system. 

 

3x 3m long PROLYTE H30V Trusses, 2 hoists.

 

3x trusses weights 62,40 kg

When I connect 2 hoists and calculate the system - Braceworks shows Load weight: 54,15 kg 
 

If truss weights 62,40 shouldn't Braceworks calculate load weight like 62,40 / 2 = 31,2 kg?

 

See video:

 

 

 

Other example: 

 

Same truss, same hoists, added 5 loads (200 kg each), calculated the system and it shows Load weight: 801,78 kg per hoist.

 

TRUSS: 62,40 kg 

Loads: 5x 200 kg

TOTAL Load: 1062,40 kg

 

 

 

So what's wrong? Is Braceworks an alpha version of software? Today - it should not cost more that 1$ because it's useless.

 

 

 

[Braceworks Hoist Connections / Braceworks Bridle]

Hi!

As I'm new to Vectorworks and Braceworks I have few problems with connections between trusses and hoist. 

 

 

Can someone tell me why hoist are visualised like that? If I change any parameter of that hoist by hand in Info Palette - Braceworks says that hoists are not connected. If I connect hoists to trusses - it looks like that and parameters in PIO are completly stupid...

 

 

Second problem - I have inserted House Rigging Point, set the Allowable Force Z to 1,5kN, connected truss using bridle, calculated the system in Braceworks and... it changes Allowable Force Z to 5 kN which is 3,5kN more than house rigging point can take... Why?

 

Thanks for help
