    The main thing is that moving the "joystick" to the side translates sideways - but I think most people would expect that moving the joystick to the right would rotate the view to the right. So, you have to rotate yourself as a separate operation.

     

    If you tap the button top right the iPhone will use the giros to aim your view according to your camera orientation so you can walk forward and rotate the camera to aim where you are going. This works well imho!

     

    I agree with requests for lines, views, clip cubes in walkthrough views please!

    There is also Vectorworks' "web view" which you can do in a browser, to view a model

    The 3D model view was the one I was thinking of particularly rather than the 2D sheet view in Nomad and in a web browser on a desktop machine.

     

    There are different requirements for the 2D sheet view compared to the 3D model view...

    Perhaps we can chime in with suggestions for both? 

    Would that help @inikolova ?

  3. On another thread people mentioned some much better apps that do the same thing. 

    One was sketchfab and I tried that - it was very very good indeed

     

    Often when these things are re-engineered we beta testers get no input as to what is important in the re-engineering.

    Is there any chance that we can have some input?

     

    In my mind the Nomad viewer should be as close as possible to the likes of Twinmotion or Enscape in terms of ease of walking around and changing Sun etc. and of course the rendering should be as good as is possible on a mobile device! Off the top of my head here are some of the features I would like:

     

    • Saved views (including the associated clip cubes, class and layer settings etc)
    • Easy navigation
    • Collision detection
    • Automatically opening doors??!!
    • Adjustment of Sun position via time of day
    • Clip cubes

    I am sure there are more ideas that others will add...

     

    By the way - automatically opening doors inside of Vectorworks when in the walkthrough tool would be very cool don't you think? Especially if that could be transferred to Twinmotion on export!!

     

    Hope this is helpful and really look forward to Nomad becoming world class rather than sadly lacking!!

  4. Slightly off topic but haven't managed to hear any positive feedback on this.

     

    I find it really unnatural that one can only create new resources in the Resource manager

    Surely it is very natural to want to create a new hatch when browsing hatches in the Attributes for instance? 

    Please can we have this ability? 

    You know it makes sense!!

    VW creates some BLOATED PDFs.  4, 8, 20, 40mbs.  Running it through the Acrobat Reduce size can cut it down the same PDFs down so far its measured in Ks.  Not super urgent, but it would be nice if VW could work on the PDF creation so that the natively exported PDFs were a little leaner. 

    A much requested feature!

    Thanks for this - it helps a bit..

    It is a slightly quicker way of doing it but with bi-directional spreadsheets I could attach the data to my objects much quicker but lack a way of putting this data back into the resource browser symbols

    I have a library of some 120 components needing specific price info and then having done all of these I find that there are another 80 or so that are nested symbols using the individual symbols - if there were a way of transferring the Record values of some placed symbols back as defaults I could do the job in minutes rather than hours)

    Many thanks anyway - this has certainly reduced the time!

  7. Can any bright spark tell me how one can transfer Record format data from a placed symbol back onto the same symbol in the Resource browser.

    The only way I can find is very laborious - unattaching a record in the resource browser, filling in the record data then re-attaching the Record.

    I can fill in a whole lot of data on placed symbols via bi-directional spreadsheets but then I want all this data back on the symbols is the resource browser.

    Am I making sense?
