[Project Sharing Server as Docker Image - Intel or ARM or both?]

@Tolu would it be a problem, building an ARM image as well? 😉

A docker image is not architecture-specific. However, you have to install the right Docker Desktop for your machine (Intel or Arm) based on your OS and Machine.

 

i did install the right docker version for my raspberry pi machine. Portainer for example works perfectly. So it must be the image which only works in a x86/x64 environment.

and, which makes me wonder is, that on hub.docker.com there is written to every image for which architecture it is appropriate.

@Tolu tried to run the ps docker image on my raspberry pi 3. I got the error message:
 

WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm/v7) and no specific platform was requested

@JoshP now I tried to run ps server on a raspberry pi

however it doesn't work, in portainer there's written, that the docker image doesn't run... 😉

 

it's a raspberry pi 3

[Homescreen - Project Sharing Server access missing]

@BartHays and server based project files?

[Homescreen - Project Sharing Server access missing]

Hi,

 

I really like the new 2023 Homescreen. However it doesn't have enoght features, so I don't use it actually.

Afaik it's supposed to be the first dashboard you get, when you start Vectorworks. However, then there is a crucial features missing!

I can't access a server based project file from the Homescreen.

That feature is totally missing.

 

Don't tell me, that:

- I first have to open a new document in order to be able, to open the server-project-file window, that's neither intuitive nor logic.

- I can open every vwxw-file I already opened before. However I sometimes want to open the vwxp file in order to create a new vwxw file... that doesn't work from the homescreen.

 

That's a pity.    

Now I don't use the homescreen any more, I shut it down in macOS.

[run another script within a script]

another solution could be (surprise surprise) MARIONETTE 😄

 

(create modular scripts or take already existing ones from the library in order to combine tham to... whatever!)

[ifc-Export doesn't automatically append file extensions (not 100%)]

Well, that's no 100% issue, however it happens quite easily, that an IFC-export happens to come out without file extension!!!

After that, solibri... won't find the ifc-file and the wanted ifc file doesn't get overwritten...

(tested on mac)

 

 

Mainly it happens when:

1) click on "export ifc"

 

2) -> OK

 

3) click on an existing ifc file in order to overwrite it

 

4) the ".ifc" file extension disappears and won't be appended any more (unfortunately the more stress you have during your work, the more things like that do happen)

 

5) then you wonder, why clicking on "refresh model" in solibri doesn't show all modifications you did before...

 

Just simple said, the export should always look wether there is .ifc appended to the filename or not. With vwx-files that problem doesn't exist. It's mainly with ifc files.

(with the dwg-export for example that problem doesn't exist)

[Project Sharing Server as Docker Image - Intel or ARM or both?]

@Kamen Kitanov then you can consider this as a wish/feature request. Afaik Reprise does support docker images as well. I can't imagine that implementing RLM for docker would be a big issue. 

[Project Sharing Server as Docker Image - Intel or ARM or both?]

@Toluwho might know a little bit more? 
running a VW license Server on a NAS could be a good opportunity for small clients.

What is RLM?

RLM = Reprise License Manager

[Project Sharing Server as Docker Image - Intel or ARM or both?]

Afaik it will be a Synology DS1821+ with an AMD Ryzen V1500B CPU. So everythin intel.

RLM doesn't exist as docker image, right?

[Project Sharing Server as Docker Image - Intel or ARM or both?]

Hi,

 

the does the Project Sharing Server as Docker Image run on Intel or ARM machines or do there exist binaries for both CPU Architectures?

 

(maybe you have an idea: @Hugues )

[toggle more options in IFC_ExportNoUI(path)]

well, in a project sharing document you need to:

1) open IFC Export, setup all and press Save Settings

2) save a copy as vwx file

3) create a new vwxp file from that vwx file (committing document settings obviously doesn't commit ifc-export settings) 😞 

[run another script within a script]

and

1) i guess, I have to store the code as a py or vs file somewhere

2) with which command can i include that file?

save the document after IFC Export.

or save and commit including document settings...
We also created a new project file in order to get that settings in the vwxp-file.

 

damn, I guess, that those settings don't survice a Project Sharing commit...

that worked. However I wonder, because all settings should have been saved due to already in the past executed ifc-exports...

Obviouosly you need to click the "save settings" button, too.

hm, ok. When I start scripting, I want to control as much as possible from the script. so, imo there should be way more options, including the option of using the saved settings, of course, too. (like IFC_ExportNoUI(path) with no options -> saved settings)

[toggle more options in IFC_ExportNoUI(path)]

Hi,

 

I guess, the only option I can use in the IFC_ExportNoUI(path) command is the path. For all other options I will need the command IFC_ExportWithUI, am I right?

[set active layer with vectorscript]

< you already answered the question, sorry >

 

that's a pity, that i can't activate a saved view from a script.

[set active layer with vectorscript]

I can't find a command to set an active layer in vectorscript.

a) does there exist any?

b) does there exist a command to toggle/activate a saved view inside vectorscript?

[run another script within a script]

Hi,

 

is there any possibility to run a script inside another script.

sth like "run(anotherscript)" or vs.run(anotherscript)

(anotherscript here of course is the name of another script which I want to run in a script)

[IFC_ExportNoUI Command missing in vw-developer page function reference.]

Just found out, that the command IFC_ExportNoUI seems to be missing in the developer page function reference.

 

why? ^^

[errormessages in script editor sometimes misleading]

Hi,

 

somehow the error messages in the script editor are a bit misleading. Sometimes it happens to me, that the mistake I made in my code are not in the line the error has been found by the ...compiler?... but in the line before.

 

path = (vs.Concat('/Users/matteoneustadt/Desktop/HBK2/',current_date)
ok = vs.IFC_ExportNoUI(path)

for example, there's missing a bracket in the "path" command.

However I get told, that the error is in the line of the "Ifc_ExportNoUI..." line.

 

Maybe there's a logical reason, however not a user friendly reason ;-).
