    Make sure that the symbol in the OIP is "Symbol in Wall"

    If it is a 2D symbol it has not been inserted correctly.

    Make sure that your 2D and 3D components are matched in plan.

    Make sure that the 3D element does not have any spurious information, and that part of the symbol makes the wall break.

    Palettes scattered

    Does anyone have this problem:

    Every few days when I open VW08 alway palettes are in a different location than when I left them. For exmaple I have my OIP palette on my left hand side and set to quite wide, sometime when I open VW it is 50% off the screen and shrunk. It seems to happen mostly with palettes that are not floating.

    Are you plugging in an additional monitor/projector by any chance?

    The resolution of the computer screen and the additional monitor may be mis-matched.

    It could be a video card failure?

    You should have one workspace for the computer and a different one for when you are using the additional monitor.

    I wondered if someone could tell me how to import a .psd (photoshop) drawing into V-works.

    Using File>Import>Import image file allows you directly to import jpg or psd files.

    The jpg file will tend to be smaller, but when you select image (bitmap) fill to none the jpg will not be so clean to trim.

    If you also choose png rather than jpg on the psd file you will get a better quality when it comes to masking.

    Another factor is that the psd file will also make the file bigger.

    The file can be kept smaller if the imported image file is referenced, which also allows for changes to be made more easily to the image file. This choice is made when in the Import Image Options dialogue box.

    Heres a couple of thing to check in VW:

    In File>Document Settings>Document Preferences> Resolution

    Is this figure 72 dpi, set it to 300 dpi

    If you are printing Sheet Layers check

    Tools>Organisation>Sheetlayers>Edit>Resolution set to 300 dpi

    When you print to pdf what is the quality of the pdf file like?

    Do I need Renderworks?

    As you are not yet a VW user, in your budget include some time for one to one training initially.

    That will give you an invaluable springboard, also to harness your own experience and creativity.

    RW is a worthwhile addition as it allows not only many rendering options, but also includes the choice of cameras and full lighting settings.

    In addition the ability to create "Image Props" allow the user to create 3D objects out of 2d images and textures, probably RWs best feature.

    I would also recommend the 17"MBP with the hi-res screen 1920x1200 and 4gb ram and the fastest hard drive on board (7200 rpm) 200GB or 320GB,

    Also if you can wait until 14th October, Apple should be announcing their new range.
