[Can undo after run Section Solid command?]

On 9/14/2020 at 11:45 PM, Kevin McAllister said:

There are three solutions to your issue. Here's a file demonstrating them both.

 

(A) is a replica of your issue using a Solid Section.

(B) is a corrected version where I edited the Solid Section and ran the Add Solids command on the three rectangles.

(C) is a corrected version where I edited the extruded rectangle and duplicated the rectangles within the original extrude.

(D) is a version where I created the original object using a Solid Subtraction instead of a Solid Section.

 

The Solid Section is being confused by the stacking order after you add your duplicates. I'm not sure if this is a limitation or a bug ( @JuanP do you know?). If I were creating this shape myself I would use a Solid Subtraction.

Great. It Search box similar with Cinema 4D search box. It willspeed up production.

The 3 cubes you added will not cut if its a Solid Addition. I would ungroup twice to get back to where you started and perform a solid section again.

Hi Kevin

I copy rectange, It did not work 

 

 

 

Sorry, I could not share file. It' simple cubes and NURBS surface, you could build for testing.

@michaelk why are we both on the forum on a lovely Friday evening?

 

If you only need to make minor changes, you can also use the Edit Solids (same shortcut as Edit Group or Edit Symbol) to go back one step and be able to change the source geometry. When you exit the solid it will recalculate based on the changes.

 

 

Hi @Pat Stanford @michaelk

1/ when use Group object, they will not work with Section Solid. It work with Add Solid.

2/ When I run Edit Solid. Then Edit Solid  again to copy other 3 cubes. This is result:

 

 

They did not cut with new 3 cube. what I should do next?

 

 

[Can undo after run Section Solid command?]

Hi

I try run Section Solid

 

 

Can I remove Section Solid command? Because I intent to change design, add more cube.

[How to export object to Rhino as solid?]

Hi

I try exporting simple cube with fillet to Rhino (3dm file). They will consider as seperate surfaces. It's not close polysurface(solid). I try join these surface, they will be open polysurface, it mean they are not solid.

Are there exporting option? How can I fix it?

 

Thank

There already is a 3D dragger ‘gumball’ that pops up when you are editing points, edges and faces of Subdivision objects (image below from Vw2020 Help). 

Vw2020 Help File : Transforming a Subdivision Model

 

Hi 

yes they have this feature in Subdivision mode. It only show when edit Subdivision. As I mentioned, I suggest this feature  will affect to solid, surface and control point.

[2021 Architecture Wishlist]

I have 2 suggestions:

1/ Add feature Box mode view, when work with Subdivision tool:

 

2/ Add Gumbal tool, We can quick manipulate Vertex, Edge and Face when work with solid model, and poly.

[How to fix error of line of light in wall?]

36 minutes ago, scottmoore said:

The easiest way to get a line light working in RenderWorks is to model a simple piece of geometry to define the line light.  An extruded polygon will work fine.  You need to create a glow texture in your Resource Browser.  Make sure your Resource Browser is set to TEXTURES, and then in the bottom select New Renderworks Texture.  A new window will pop up.  Under REFLECTIVITY, select GLOW and the select edit.  Here you can set overall brightness (which can be FAR higher than 100% should you require it) and you can set it to EMIT LIGHT.  You probably will not require the other options.  Then you can apply the texture to your piece of geometry.  This will cause the geometry to "glow".  A couple of important notes:  

- RenderWorks will not recognize a glow texture as a lighting device.  As such, this will not appear to work until you have added some sort of actual light source even if that light source is extremely dim.  Otherwise, the generic ambient light in RenderWorks will overtake your scene.  

- In your RenderWorks render settings, you will need to enable indirect lighting to see the glow texture emitting light.  

 

Hope this helps.   

Hi scottmoore,

I do not intent to make line light. It's error. I'm looking for solution.

I just use Direction Light Mode ( exterior). Light will go through window. I use default window in Vectorworks.

VW does not really like models like that plant.  They are meshes, and VW does not work well with them.  Probably the reason for all of the lagging.

Hi grant_PD

I agree with you. I should Sent to Cinema 4D then add Ficus_Lyrata_Plant model

It work well and fast rendering.

Thank again grant_PD

[How to keep original size of profile in Create Surface Array?]

10 hours ago, zoomer said:

AFAIK, not at all.

 

You would need a very simple regular Surface to spread on, and adjust their Dimensions

to an suitable "n" times of repetitions of that part.

 

The intention of Surface Array feature is more to squeeze such objects along a given Surface

in a way so that the result looks cool and reasonable.

That happens by scaling and bending (if possible).

 

BTW,

Can't open you File.

VW warns about it being created in an illegal copy of VW.

Hi zoomer

It's control the scale of planar but It's difficult with NURBS and Sphere

 

I try Duplicate Along Path, but can not edit after.

Do we have any way to Array object, then come back and edit?
