[Starting View for Cloud Services 3D model (Deadline)]

I'm sure this is covered somewhere, but I cannot find the right search terms.

 

When I use Cloud Services to publish the 3D model - how do I set the initial "home" view?

 

Thank you

 

[Duplicate Along Path 2.0]

I gave the Repeat Along Path tool a try.

it is seems more a glorified Duplicate along path then a true PIO tool.

 

I would not consider it a replacement, though it can be useful.

 

 

[How did they create the FUNDAMENTALS 2018 marketing image]

Has anyone seen the instagram ad?

That is pretty slick!

Have no idea how to do that in VectorWorks !!

 

[Duplicate Along Path 2.0]

This is more along the lines of what I was thinking.  Model on a PIO like the Rope & Stanchion Tool.

That will allow editing of paths and output to a report.

 

Thank you Kevin for creating the Request !!!

[VW 2019 viewports drop down]

@Kevin - lol - odd workaround - works for a bit- then if I re-open VectorWorks (mostly due to crashing) it has to be done again.

 

 

[Fencing tool for Crowd Contorl Barricade?]

That would be interesting 🙂

[VW 2019 viewports drop down]

I wish we Could do this on the Info Pallet - drag left so that there is more room

Or if the drop-down right justified so you could see the full names.

[Fencing tool for Crowd Contorl Barricade?]

That's what I'm doing now.

Would be great if it was more like the Rope&Stanchion - so I could edit the polyline and have it auto adjust.

Also - adjust if I change barricade styles - aka from 8' Bike Rack to 10' wooden police or 3' MOJO 🙂

 

[Fencing tool for Crowd Contorl Barricade?]

Has anyone played with the idea of using the Fence tool to create lines of crowd control barricade?

 

Would be interesting.

Also possible might be adjusting the rope&Stanchion PIO?

 

hmmmmm

[Timesheet / TimeCard ?]

Ahh - I like it if I can do it with the Set to Operations on the autosave.

I often leave the file open overnight or whatever - so purely open / close would not really be indicative.

 

I was also thinking a simple excel style report where I could manually enter start/stop times and it could calculate hours.
 

I'll take a look at the log again though.

 

thanks 🙂

 

 

[Timesheet / TimeCard ?]

Hi all,

 

I was thinking of seeing if I could make a report in VectorWorks that would work to track my hours on a project.

Wondering if anyone has attempted this before I give it a go!

 

Thanks

[Using Symbol Library with Spotlight Tools ?]

I was doing this for a while - but then each library update was overwriting my file.

So I had to keep a separate file and then it got too annoying.

(or some-such as I remember)

[AutoHybrid with Data]

How come if I use the the "AutoHybrid" I lose all ability to use the PIO data?

 

Catch-22

- Can't make an AutoHyrbrid of a Symbol and keep the data

- Can't make an AutoHybrid of a Group to make a symbol with data

 

am I missing something?

["Log Time in Program"]

So I've had the "Log Time in Program" set on forever; and today finally went to use it.

 

Does anyone have a quick workflow that can figure out the amount of time you have spent in each file by calculating the Open/Close times?

 

Thanks 🙂

[Custom North Arrows]

So I found a cute Compass I want to use for a North Arrow.

 

I use the North Arrow tool and see 10 "Configs"

I see the "North Arrow" file in the Resources Browser.

I Edit that file and see 27 existing arrows - now 28 with my new one.

 

How do I change the "Configs" to use one of the other 27 arrows?

 

Thanks 🙂

[Using Symbol Library with Spotlight Tools ?]

I was playing around with it - and I found that If I put one of the panasonic projectors into my drawing - That projector then became availabe to the PIO Screen Tool.

I think it may have something to do with the correct Record being attached to the symbol??

 

I also remember adding symbols to the library file that the PIO referenced.

However, this got boring as every library update and/or version release wiped out that file.

 

I'll shoot to upload an example later.

 

[Using Symbol Library with Spotlight Tools ?]

Hello all .... 

 

I realize this is something I should have figured out a long time ago -- however ....

 

The Spotlight tools are chocolate-- ie - insert a projector, speaker, array, etc ..

The Spotlight libraries are peanut butter - ie. L'acoustics, Panasonic, etc ...

 

How to I make a Reese's ??

(insert the library symbol into the plugin tool?)

 

thanks

Hi all,

 

Is there a quick way to figure out BTU's of AirCon required for a space?

Looking to double check my event supplier.

 

Thank you

[Spotlight - Festoon / Bistro Lighting Tool]

That is very true -- maybe we can submit for inclusion in Spotlight

[Spotlight - Festoon / Bistro Lighting Tool]

Wow - this felt promising and it has a lovely icon

 

Getting a script error (Image enclosed)

 

It says t sa UTF encoding error ?

Maybe I"m doing something wrong??

 

thanks

Ethan

 

 

[Catenary curve tool]

OH - yes - swagging is a way of life !

[Spotlight - Festoon / Bistro Lighting Tool]

In a way I think maybe @C. Andrew Dunning could alter the stanchion tool to convert to a festoon lighting tool ???
