Thank you Jesse! Really well done You saved me hours of works and headache I've made me too all these tries, changing the availability options and restarting Vectorworks every now and then, but never notice that thing, also because I worked in files with legacy 2D functions disabled Yes that thing of talking about 2D objects instead of Layer plane is quite misleading

Thanks Pat for help No particular settings I forgot that thing of words starting with p, but there are no parameters in that PIO

Hi guys Happy new year first of all I'm writing various simple commands in VS to automate repetitive tasks They move and rotate the 2D and 3D selected objects to the origin Everything works fine with the scripts, but when I put them into the command plugin, they become apparently randomly grayed I've tried to reproduce the situation, but unsuccesfully Doesn't matter if I change the rules of selection or view Made some tries both with 2024 and 2023 ITA, but no way Made something wrong? If someone wants to make some tries, he can find the commands attached Ruota 2D.vsm Ruota 3D.vsm Ruota Sx.vsm Trasla 2D.vsm Trasla 3D.vsm

Hi Sure It's iStatistica You can find it on the web or in the Apple Store 1st one is more complete but more expensive

Thank you Kevin Didn't know this trick! However I do need a VP without background in order to make a post production in Affinity Photo I think that if you re-render this VP you'll see the halo disappear, since you have an Intel based Mac

Thank you Kevin for your interest Yes it's a VP on a sheet layer Res is 150 dpi and the Renderworks Style is accurate Final Quality Shaded VPs also get the same white halo, but cutouts are better rendered My last note actually is an off topic I apolgize for that It refers to an issue I've reported in another topic I link it below with the file included As you see in the final considerations, the problem of this white halo shows up only on Macs with silicon processors

Hi all since none else has encountering my problem, I've made several tries, excluding possible interferences of other programs and/or firewalls It came out that my sync files app pCloud seems to interfere, probably because it tries to write simultaneously on the Vectorworks swap file I've excluded pCloud and now Vectorworks seems to be faster and more stable I've launched some heavy 3D section VP and Vectorworks worked well I'm trying to exclude swap file from syncing The weird is that with the i7 iMac didn't encounter the problem but very rarely I still get problems of artifacts with 3D cutouts with M1, but that's another story

Thank you Andy Normally I don't import from Sketchup, but often from AutoCAD However I've made a script searching for empty 3D Polys to be sure about and I can confirm you that there aren't I find weird that I've not seen others with the same problem, since it occurs to me so usually Maybe it depends from a low level CPU problem

Hello guys does anyone experience this strange phenomenon of black random spots in renderworks rendering with indirect lighting? It occurs to me with M1 arm silicon cpu expecially after several render tries or launching several renders at the same time This makes me think could be due to a lack of RAM, since reloading the file, things seem to go better for a while However I've to say my Mac Studio Max has 64GB of RAM and with my i7 2017 iMac 27 with 40GB of RAM the problem doesn't occur Looking at system memory usage, RAM seems to be enough Both Macs have vw 2023 SP3 with 13.2 Mac OS Ventura Any suggestion? Thank you for your time

Thank you everyone 👍🏻

Point 2 is the answer! I have installed Vectorworks 2023 on the "old" iMac with the same Ventura OS and the halo disappears So it really seems to be a question linked to Arm processors

Thank you rDesign This gave me more tests to try I tried to uncheck the option "None fill uses alpha transparency" suggested by Panzer, but didn't solve Neither solved removing reflection from the image prop suggested by zoomer Is this post enough to start a bug ticket?

Thank you Jeff It seems that no others is experiencing that problem This is even more weird I'm just wondering two last things that could differ 1 I own an italian release I've sent a file with a description of the problem last year to italian distributor I think they've sent to NNA 2 I'm working on a silicon mac Passing from an Intel, work is faster, but less stable in my opinion

Thank you Jeff This is really weird Have you seen the white halo before re-rendering that? I've put a magenta rectangle back in your viewport and everything was good I've re-rendered the same VP with no changes and got the usual white halo again Just one thing I see you've got also Vectorworks 2023 Do you encounter the same halo in 2023?

Thank you for your interest Jeff Let me understand: are trees rendered Image props or simple PNG? Which Vectorworks release have you got? If 2022 or later could you please attach your file? As I wrote, the problem is not the quality of the image, since the same image props worked fine till Vectorworks 2021 For a period I had to work with 2022 and finally export in 2021 for final rendering, but now I don't have 2021 installed any longer I'm attaching my test file in 2022 version, created in 2023 and exported You can also find the original PNG image Image Props Render v2022.vwx
