Hello, If using Soft Goods objects click the '3D options' in the OIP and choose 'Scrim'. Cheers, Peter

Hello, Good news - but don't just vote it up here please fill out the form on the Public Roadmap. All comments are encouraged and noted. Cheers, Peter

No it doesn't matter how the view was created, as once it is a Saved View it is it's own thing. Could you please update your signature as it would be good to see your hardware. Maybe you could DM me the file as I'd be happy to take a look. Cheers, Peter

Hello, They're working for me on the macOS U3. If you edit the Saved Views what are the transition settings? This is such a great feature as you can do a whole walkthrough presentation with different timing transitions just via the Saved Views. Cheers, Peter

Hello, The property line is acting as a texture bed on the DTM and taking on the class attributes: More information here. Cheers, Peter

Hello, Users are often impatient and click the 'Do not show again...' option in the warning message. I see this quite frequently in support. Then they get into all sorts of strife like this. Suggest to your colleague to open the Vectorworks Prefs>Session and reset the 'Always do' dialogues. At least until they are more proficient. Cheers, Peter

Also don't forget that you can easily adjust the camera exposure in the Shaded settings so the overall lighting doesn't have to be perfect. As well, view transition timings apply to saved views so you can set a few up and initiate one to another and travel nicely between them. Cheers, Peter

Hello, There are quite a few things to understand when rendering and animating. To troubleshoot this you need to redo everything and start at the lowest quality level, not the highest. True for frame rate, resolution, Renderworks and lighting. Provided it gets to the finish, you should then incrementally increase the settings to get what you find acceptable. Don't start with Final Quality Renderworks as every setting is set to high. Start by using Custom Renderworks with everything set to low. Then in the Custom Renderworks dialogue as you move the mouse over each setting read the help text at the bottom in order to understand what it is you are changing upwards. Likewise for all other settings when setting up the animation. Cheers, Peter

As Dave has said it's because when you have nothing selected you have set the default attributes for everything subsequently drawn to have a white drop shadow: I'm adding to this because also you have 6 or more duplicates of objects on top of each other such as this instrument below (with a black rectangle drawn underneath). This needs sorting out and would contribute greatly to the file's large size. Cheers, Peter

He's arrived again this year. Merry Christmas to all. Santa.mp4

Hello, I can't speak for my colleague @Luis M Ruiz who made the video but I expect it is using the same image as a transparency mask when you edit the Renderworks texture. Here's my file: Voronoi.vwx Cheers, Peter

Hello, This behaviour has changed in v2025. It has been like the previous way you describe for as long as I can recall, but it was changed in order to allow multi click tools to also work. There's no way to change it back to the previous behaviour. What you have to do is hit 'escape' and then the data display box will read from the start of the line, like it used to. Cheers, Peter

Thanks @Ross Harris it is always nice to receive positive feedback - we always try our very best (that's you Zac in NZ!). As an update regarding the original post. I tried everything I knew with Tristan and also noted the odd path to the 'a' drive. To cut to the chase, Tristan eventually did a Windows factory reset and Vectorworks 2024 now works fine and presumably v2025 if he installs it. So there was something wrong with the operating system. Cheers, Peter

Don't forget to use the Vectorworks Cloud Services to do the rendering and production of PDFs for you! Cheers, Peter

Nice modelling! Peter
