I also have found it impossible to get the render by components to work what is the trick? And I am not to happy with the rendered view in a VP either

I made a slab style with concrete hatch fill for slab & edge thickening and put a 10mm floor cover with solid fill on top, mainly to hide the concrete hatch in plan but the hatch wins for some reason any ideas?

yes experienced this had to command 6 to find it, it was of the screen

Start in front view create an arc no fill, convert to nurbs. Top plan mirror 90? & duplicate in place. Duplicate array given distance. Left isometric view use Loft surface tool to create the two separate nurbs surfaces. Click on the first two nurbs curves a red line will appear hit enter or click the green tick in the tool bar a window will appear and okay. Repeat for the second set of nurbs curves back to top plan and mirror first nurbs surface. (Sometimes it goes funny, undo repeat the steps but click the next button before okaying) Have fun

iCad is available for both but at the moment only android can use the bluetooth connectivity http://www.redstickcad.com/

iCad on a tablet export dwg or ifc

I had a similar problem, could not make a dutch hip in 2011 file had to make the roof in empty file and copy/paste. Just did a little exercise in 2012 (see screen shot) and there is a circumstance when the hip creation button stays grayed out. Bug submitted it.

Dimensions, window ID and bracing symbols in the 3D model (div. classes) anotations plus graphic stuff like insulation, below/in foundation etc in de VP

Yes I do everything in 3D and presentation is with viewports on a sheet layer if everything is built correctly, it can be built. And a simple render is all that is needed, have some lights to give a bit of depth to the drawing. The render show in above image is a FQ with hidden line.

No photoshopping for me, just render work texture, brick texture speaks for itself and the weatherboards are lines with a bit of fuzziness.

If you set your minimum elevation deeper you'll get more "body" to your site model is that what you mean?

I had the same issue and got a 2011 offering you'll have to lie about your address, it will have to be in USA

a VP is not a 3D object so no , but one can do the 3d dimensioning on the design layer

in your section VP IOP is a section line instances button untick required VPs or design sheets, before you untick go back to relevant VP and use the 2D reshape tool to give your section line the required form...zig/zag?

Concur with aboves

must be an oz thing, tried again and the same offering of 2011

I would love to evaluate 2012 but I get 2011 offered to download

Anybody any idea how to translate an IFC file to VW, no problem importing but what way to use it other then tracing?

Just found out a VR object can also be shown & manipulated with RealPlayer do not know if that helps anyone but..

place worksheet on a design layer and create a viewport on your desired sheet and scale to fit

and here is your dog collar

here is your vase back executed with my no 1? suggestion you'll have to see it in FQ render, open GL leaves a gap between vase and object. ( i made the object sweep 360? before going through the steps)

1? place the object on your vase, duplicate vase and model/section solids 2? place your object and edit/duplicate array

i seem to have no problem running vw2010 on lion, which i do to create my vr objects while continuing to work in 2011
