  1. Well, 2021 has updated the door situations but....still no bifold exterior door patterns or greater than 4 panels... only saving grace is they’ve added more panels (more than 4) to the sliding doors...!!!🎉🎉
  2. Do you mind me asking what size and what resolution??
  3. Was just thinking the same, have a 24 inch dell 1440 and find myself always opening and closing palets....was thinking 4K, but worried about everything being too small on a 27 inch......came Accross ultra wides and am thinking it might be the solution. few messages on here about curve vs flat - consensus seems to be curve not really worth the extra cost under 32 inch... ultrawide - it’s just whether 1440 is enough as I’ll gain space down the side of the screen compared to my current monitor which would probably do for just resource palets etc...
  4. You can install from unknown sources still (so far anyhow!), but the issue I have is Downie was installed from developers website - and Apple managed to make it not open at a ‘flick of a switch’ on everyone’s macs - which has made me very uneasy.. https://blog.charliemonroe.net/a-day-without-business/
  5. So, I see the Apple walled garden walls have begun raise into users view recently (fortnight not working on Mac users machines anymore- due to Apples Notarised kill switch) this is the second time I’ve seen this happen in a month - first time was with the app Downy which they ‘mistakenly’ removed the authors dev certificate rendering his apps all useless on al macs overnight! This type of thing has me concerned - I’m not particularly happy with Apple having this much control over what I run on my Mac.....who says they won’t do the same to Twinmotion before this is all finished! 20 year Mac user and don’t think I’ll be moving to Apple silicon at this rate...don’t think Epic are far off the mark with the rotten 1984 apple video... 🍏 😈
  6. More than 4 panels is the issue as they’re usually bigger doors than 4m wide and not always opening with 2 panels each side....
  7. I see no one from Vectorworks has commented on this....but they have read it.... so I’m guessing we’re still going to be waiting around for this one...disappointing yet again 🤨👎
  8. Tried that- but always crashed my Vectorworks when I used it previously...may revisit it when I get a chance...👍🏻
  9. Not quite..🤣 multiple panel exterior glazed doors....see attached image as example...(image just from google..)
  10. Not particularly helpful if you haven’t got the money or the future work to pay for it....👎. at ~£3k per licence and VSS at 600£- I guess the alternative is to just cancel and stick to current vw2020 for next 5 years, by which time you may be able to afford to buy a new license and not be any worse off....?
  11. I had a similar post last week and someone posted this in response My issue is partly same , no new work since March as well as I don’t see Vectorworks solving any of the issues I’ve had with the last few versions, so loathed to pay for a service that I don’t see to be Fixing in VW
  12. In this day and age where every client wants bi fold doors In their houses or extensions - why do we stilll not have bi fold doors in Vectorworks??!! So for 2021 - bi fold doors and maybe just sort out the following and I might reconsider my VSS... section open gl rendering issue where it render the elevation in viewport (render elevation view /from behind the section line) artistic rendering styles with lines working As they should in panoramic images without having to do a workaround. vss rendering panoramic lighting correctly now?? dont think it’s too much to be asking for really..
  13. So my vss is up at end of August. im contemplating not renewing from September as there is no way that I will update to 2021 version as soon As its available this year.. I’m just wondering - is there any issue /will it cost me more to rejoin if I chose to rejoin early next year (still within a year of my subscription lapsing?)
  14. Sounds good - but who’s willing to wait the 10 years for this kind of progress...after all we’re still waiting for multi thread use...
  15. Been a Mac guy for 20 years - but use a hackintosh....meaning I can upgrade whatever I like... I don’t take moving to windows lightly...but the fact they so significantly alter the mac os every single year it makes so much more sense - just look at the past experiences with Mac OS updates over past couple of years...they have VW chasing their tales and therefore we get snails pace software improvement..😓
  16. They currently only sell intel macs - of course he’s not going to tell us to wait for Apple soc.....
  17. I would def not spend much (If any) on a new Mac at the moment based on past (PowerPC) experience - no matter what they say- after all, they only sell intel macs at the moment... im planning on sticking with Mojave’s and 2019/2020 until this all blows over (I only work for myself and do small residential work)- but having been the IT guy in a small office as well as an architect - I can already see issues ahead... best option if you need to buy- buy windows pc and stay away from macs until it’s all sorted.!!
  18. I can already see years of pain ahead for myself with VW.... yearly updates to VW have rendered it almost unusable until sp4-5 on each occasion from last few years experience. moving over to Apple soc is going to just give Nem another excuse for not fixing the existing bugs and lack of any forward momentum for this software - which seems to fall further behind each year. Anyone thinking of spending any large amounts of money on a new Mac may want to Seriously consider it before buying an intel cpu at this stage - they say they have new intel range coming in the Apple presentation tonight- but based on the past experience and their jump from PowerPC to intel, I’d be weary of this (what else are they going to say without loosing the next 2.5 years of sales!!) - high end PowerPC’s lasted a few years before the support was dropped (not what you want if you’re spending £6k on a new macPro Tomorrow) they may say intel is here to stay now - and even if it does , how will Vectorworks 2021-22 run if it has to run through Rosetta 2?... might be time to give up the trusted Mac and move to windows unfortunately - at least for the foreseeable future...does VW work any better on windows?....I may just cancel my VSS and stick with Mojave and VW2019 until it’s all sorted....VW? Guess it’s going to be a long wait....(might even start using my VW2020 next year when it working state for professional use..)
  19. In 'advanced properties' for the highlighted section > change 'extents before cut plane' to 'Finite depth' =1 seems to be working as a workaround for anyone having this issue...(so it only shown 1mm of plane behind the view..) but - we should be having to do this!!
  20. why is this issue still not sorted?!!!! The lack of any sense of urgency to sort these issues is just shameful.....ive just wasted an afternoon wondering what was going on with my section - sometimes its fine and redraws correctly, this afternoon it just won't go away....and show extents before cut plane is off/tried on and then off.....you name it I've tried it this afternoon - not impressed... Bifold doors and round window are supposed to be 'behind' the view...
  21. I’ve noticed if I’m using tm20 for a while gpu Fan start speeding up, as soon as I save it quietens down again...tm19 did this strange behaviour too..this is on my hackintosh in OS X, not Ed it in windows10. tm20 seems to perform Much better graphic quality wise over tm19 on OS X on my system. (Now on equal quality settings as under windows10 on same system)
  22. Hi Bob, it’s basically a tower pc - msi motherboard b150m pro-vdh with i7 6700, 24gb ram, 1tb ssd drive and and msi r9 280x 3gb gpu. Running Mojave (have too many non 64bit apps to upgrade). Uses Clover to boot Mac/windows. works perfectly and cost ~£700 and a 24 inch monitor extra Mac keyboard etc easy to upgrade parts and gives me more freedom/choice. everything works, just like a Mac (clover menu on startup gives choice between windows and Mac OS on startup) see here for start - https://www.tonymacx86.com/
  23. “There is a bug in Vectorworks 2020 that it doesn't show a dialog when you try to submit an Animation job with anon-VSS account. This will be fixed in Vectorworks 2021” hahaha- they won’t even Bother to fix it in 2020!!!??
  24. Funny...but it really shouldn’t be the case when you spend £££ for software that shouldn’t even be out of Beta testing before they offer it to us...
  25. Matt panzer- you clearly worked on the plugin- why don’t you just update the plugin and post it here??! Velux clearly aren’t going to pay you anymore for updating it...
