Hello, I am trying to write a small python script to rename selected cameras in the active document. However, I cannot find any function reference for Camera. Does anyone know where it is? Thanks!

Thanks Pat! This works great.

Along the topic of thumbnail, my machine takes half an hour to open a file because the thumbnail keeps on loading in the resource browser manager. Is there any way to get around it?

Please see attached file. There is a script inside as well. sample.vwx

I am trying to rotate a symbol 3d object in 3d view.

Hello, I was successfully creating a small python script to rotate a selected object in 3d space around its center on the z-axis. I cannot figure out how to do it for the x-axis and y-axis. Please see below for a working script on the z-axis: def rotate_selected_90_z(): # Get the handle of the selected object obj_handle = vs.FSActLayer() # First selected object in the active layer if obj_handle: # Get the object's current position p, z = vs.Get3DCntr(obj_handle) # Get center point in 3D space # Rotate 90 degrees around the Z-axis vs.HRotate(obj_handle, p, 90) # Rotate at the object's center else: vs.AlrtDialog("No object selected. Please select an object first.") # Run the function rotate_selected_90_z()

Thanks, Mark, for your solution!

Yes, this is it! Thank you. This is exactly what I am looking for.

Hello, I come from 3Ds Max land. Is there a way to exclude an object from receiving light in Vectorworks? For example, in the below image, I would like to exclude the chair from being illuminate by the neon light from the backlit wall behind it. Thanks!

Thanks Mark!

Hello, is there a way to move an object perpendicular to its normal surface? Below I have a Hemisphere. I divided it into 4 equal quadrants. The red arrow indicates normal surface direction of a quadrant. How do I move it away from the Hemisphere in the direction of the red arrow? Thank you

One can select an Edge Loop in a Subdivision Model by right-click on the edge and select Edge Loop from the context menu. Is there an option to select face loop?

12 years later I have the same question. Any updates?

In other software such as Twinmotion and Blender, the camera has overlay grid and parallelism which help to create better image composition. I wish Vectoworks will add these features in future releases.
