I am working with the demo version of VW to see if we should purchase it for exhibit work we're doing. It's kind of a pain not having the ability to save but I'm learning and I'm pretty sure we'll be purchasing soon. I have talked to a sales rep with Nemetschek and as far as I'm concerned they have great customer relations. The person I spoke with was VERY nice and informative. I hope that goes on after the purchase.
I have two questions, one, are there many people out there doing custom exhibit work with VW. And the second is something I've tried to do and can't for the life of me figure out (keep in mind I'm new to VW and new to CAD in general, so be nice!).
In exhibit work there's a basic exhibit component called a backwall. Simply, its a 4 x 8 x 3 panel that is connected to other panels to make up the "backwall" of an exhibit. The big part of exhibit design are the graphics. I would need to show these graphics rendered to clients. Say all I want to do is place a 2 ft x 2 ft graphic on a backwall. I want to be able to view that in 3d as well. I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I have taken a 2 ft x 2 ft panel in front view and extruded it .125" and tried to paint it with an image but it just will not work!
I would highly appreciate any help in doing this. I need to make sure I can do it because it's a very big part of what I would be doing with VW.
Thanks in advance,
Chris Stegner
