Single, centered image on LED screen, not tiles. How?
MartinBlomberg replied to MartinBlomberg's topic in Entertainment
Thanks! I think it answers the question, but do I have to buy a plugin for this specific feature then? Warm regards, Martin -
Single, centered image on LED screen, not tiles. How?
MartinBlomberg posted a topic in Entertainment
Hi, I struggle to make an image fit on a wide LED screen. It's a square image and I want it centered on the LED-screen. Even though I've unchecked "Tile Image" boxes (Horizontal and Vertical) the image tiles. Since the size of the LED most likely will vary I don't want to have different files. Can someone help me figure this one out? Thanks! -
This life of mine is so super weird. After so(oooo) many attempts on trying to change the class setting without no result, today it just worked. I have no idea why it works now, but it does... I hade the container class set to black without any result for so long time, but today, eureka! 😃 Thanks!

Hi, I want to make all my wall-fills to turn black instead of this grayish fill. How do I do that? I know I've changed it somewhere before but can't figure out where anymore, This is from a viewport with Detail level: Low. When I change to Medium or High I get the insulation and stuff visible which I don't want. Class is set to black fill and black lines. Thanks!

A decent looking drawing - how hard can it be?

AH! Now I see! I didn't realise it appeared when I activated this setting. You're the best! Thank you!! -

I see. I thought there was a way to visually draw a line to where I want the depth to "end". -

I'm trying like a crazy-one but just can't find the interactive dotted line you're mentioning. Here's what I can edit (as you see, not much more then the actual position of the section cut) -

Sorry for such late reply. I didn't see that I got a reply from you. Many thanks, I'll have a look into this! -

Wonderful!!! And, hopefully, last thing: how do I edit where the section depth? 😃 Many, many thanks! -

On the same note @Tom W., would you know by any chance how to do the same thing, but the other way around, when it comes to section cuts? My end-goal is to have a section with the most up-close objects in more bold lines and fills, and the ones behind the cut plane to be a specific line- and fill color. To create some kind of depth to the drawing but not have to fiddle around with the classes if I change the section cut. Cheers! -

Nice one! the "Z"-command didn't do the trick, but "Use world origin" did. Not sure why, but now I'm good 😃 Many thanks! -

I think I got it! Much easier now to understand what's associated with what floor, thanks! So, a follow-up on that: now when I make two different layers with walls, how do I match the texture on both floors? Now it looks like this: This seems a bit tricky to say the least. I'll dig into this and see what I can find. Thank you! -

Sorry, my file didn't upload correctly until now. It's in my reply earlier from now. -

Hi again! Thanks @jeff prince, @E|FA and @Tom W.for getting back to me, and sorry for a bit late reply. 1. Since the walls are inserted in windows it automatically connects to the wall layer, which in this case is Floor 1. So when I look on a Top/Plan view the windows show up even if I chose only to view floor 2 or floor 1. The solution might be to use only Top view, but then all 2D objects turn into rendered items instead of 2D objects. Is there a way to fix this or do I need to use only Top view? 2. The walls are their own wall style with different components. I managed (sometime in the past) to change the color to gray on outer walls, but on inner walls, I just can’t remember how I did it. 3. The Z elevation is fine and looks good in the rendering. But, when looking from above on Top-view, it’s messed up. But, I’ll have a look at the link that Tom W sent. 😃 4. The fit to object is what I used to make the walls fit the roof. But, it’s quite hard to explain in words, so please see the attached drawing. I’ve attached the drawing here, with flaws and all. Since I’m not sure how “real” drawings are made, since I’m self-taught, I’m looking for general improvements for more or less everything. Please let me know your thoughts if someone would have the time and effort to look at the drawing. Many thanks again! Martin (Also, the drawing is unfortunately in Swedish, please let me know if there's anything specific that need translation and I'll get to it) House2023.vwx -
Hi, I've been struggling with some features in VW that I just can't find out a way to solve. Can someone guide me how to... - Make a cut plane in Top/Plan so I can view, i.e, only the first floor in top/plan-view. I don't want to show holes in the wall for windows placed on floor 2 when I only want to show floor 1. - Make dashed lines for certain stuff that is above an object, for instance, the kitchen shelves above the sink should be dashed, but not the sink. - Change the color of the wall fills, am I stupid here? I want a single color fill, not all the components (I use the Low quality view, but want to change the color inside the walls) - In hidden line, why does some of my object, in this case chairs, show above another object, the table top, but not in Top/Plan? I've used stock stuff from VW library - How on earth to you make the roof and walls meet nicely when I have a gable roof? The walls won't snap to the roof, neither on the inside nor the outside wall. That's some of the things I'm fighting with now, hope you can help a non-educated architect-wannabe like me! 😃 Thanks all! Martin

I can't really understand why they don't stick to the Excel standard, I need to google this all the time.

@mjm, sorry for late reply, totally missed that I got an answer. Yeah, that's kinda right, but still, isn't there a way to just hover around without having to activate a tool? Other softwares, like Fusion 360, I just hold down Shift-key and I can hover around freely. No way in VW? If not, that shouldn't be too much work to fix? Thanks!

I want to orbit around my drawing using only my trackpad, like I can do in probably all other CAD-software. I'm am one of the following: 1. Stupid, since I can't find the solution. Or 2. Frustrated, since the function is not implemented. If 1, please let me understand how I can orbit around with my trackpad (no external stuff what so ever), without having to use the actual tool, I want something like two finger+command-kinda solution. If 2, how come such an easy thing isn't implemented? Many thanks! martin

Thanks! I don't have VW21 anymore actually. I reached out to the local distributor in Sweden to report this as a bug, which I guess it is. It works when I right click the object, but then the point of having a shortcut is kinda gone. Thanks anyway! 😃

Thanks for the reply @Pat Stanford Unfortunately, neither of these options work. Not sure why this is, it worked out fine some time ago. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated 😃 Thanks!!

Hi, I've assigned ⌘+Shift+1 to "Activate layer". All of a sudden nothing happens when I press that command. The class gets activated when I right-click on an object and then click "Activate class", but when I use the key command it doesn't. This also goes for a number of other commands that I try running. Why is this? Thanks! I'm on VW2022 and on a brand spanking new MBP M1 Max, 64GB Ram, 24 core GPU.

Hi all, Vectorworks Design Suite 2022 - [B-hall.vwx] 2021-11-12 09-31-30.mp4 Can anyone teach me how to create a ground stacked trussbox without this hassle? The truss auto-rolls on me and I have no idea how to fix this. Bug, or is it just me? Thanks all!

Hi all! I'm really looking into buying one of the 14" myself but honestly I have no idea what all these specs are saying. Can anyone translate to ordinary English? 😃 Jokes aside, the most complex drawing I've ever done so far is this one for the venue I work at (link below). Do you think that the cheapest of the M1 MBP's would be sufficient, or do I need more juice? I don't know computers a lot I just want them to help me do my stuff, haha. Thanks everyone!

Hi all, I just updated to VW2022 and all my shortcuts are going crazy. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Now the Activate Class and Activate Layer just doesn't work. It doesn't even work when I right click and manually click the option. Any clue why this is? Thanks!
