    how do I adjust it?

    in Architecture

    Posted

    yes Katie, but not size of specs. These should be adjustable through the viewport (as opposed globally for the file)since several details at different scaleS (VP's)originate from the SAME drawing. Pls add this to wish list, since without this adjustment THIS tool is UNUSABLE.

    video card

    in Rendering

    Posted

    getting ready to upgrade and I understand Video Cards are not critical in the performance of Renderworks (except Open GL, which I never use). Any suggestions between GeForce 8800 GTS vs Quaddro equivalent? I will also be running Photo shop and Cinema 4D...

    Grateful for some advise

    which one?

    Core 2 Quad Support ???

    thanks Dave, I got the dual cores, so I assume I need not be concerened with hyperthreading...

    what about quad cores, is this set up taken advantage of in WW?

    I'm still getting long rendering times, or unfinished Radiosity "freezes"

    Cinema 4Drall

    interested in getting better renderings, what's the word on Cinema 4D R10? Vectorworks users' are you pleased with the import/export capabilities and the overall interface?

    What about rendering times and quality as compared to Renderworks?

    thx for y0ur feedback,

    Better renderings

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    curious to know what rendering software Vectorworks users turn to for higher end renderings (ie: like the ones you see in the architecture magazines - soft shadows, depth of field, etc, etc...) also for blob shapes modeling. Anyone on 3D VIZ, Maxwell? What's the feedback?

    Most interested in modelling in Vectorworks and exporting to another software.

    Thanks

    Walls, from structural to architectural

    in Architecture

    Posted

    come on! drawing them twice?! that's not what CAD is about, besides the whole point of generating plans from a MINIMUM amount of design layers is that as things change (always seem to) you don't have to correct (or forget to) a bunch of layers...

    hope VW gets this worked out on the next release since it is a critical issue.

    WALLS components with classes!

    in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests

    Posted

    In working the "VW WAY" and generating all plans from a minimum amount of design layers, how does one generate a structural and an architectural plan (VP) from the SAME design layer. The walls would have to read differently in the respective VP's (ie: only structural wall element in structural and structural and finish components in architectural). This would be achievable if wall components could be class specific, and so be turned on or off as required...

    Can VW take notice of this wish list request?

    Anyone has a good work around for this?

    Thanks,

    using views in the drawing's structure

    in Architecture

    Posted

    In my quest for new found efficiency I am trying to set my drawings as VW intends you to (layers / classes/ views/ standards). How are users using saved views in this process?

    I usually just work with the design layers and viewports to set my sheets up.

    Looking forward to people's feedback,

    Drawing Setup / Templates / Standards / etc

    in Architecture

    Posted

    I'm ready to set up my small office's CAD standards, ie: Sheets, layers and classes so that I don't have to go through the excercise every time I start a new project... what's the best info resource out there to help me on this? I've looked at the available books, but they seem very basic and cover loads of stuff I already know. The Model Setup and Issue Manager seem too convoluted to me... any good threads out there please?

    Many thanks,

    Carpalmer
