make a 2d poly the shape of the cushion
< i guess the shape of the seat plus or minus a little? >
2
extrude it to the cushion thickness
3
use the "fillet edge tool" to fillet the top and/or
bottom edges of the extrusion. you can set the radius
of the fillet as you use the tool in the [...] option
4
the extrusion then becomes a fillet and the radius
can be adjusted in the OIP
hope this is what you're looking for...

get the "IE TAB 2" add-on for firefox
and then set the add-on to always render
/Vectorworks 12.5/VWHelp/ files in IE mode,
painful, but it works.
either firefox is not capable of rendering
html properly or the help
files have not been properly checked for
html compliance

why does VW even use quicktime?
windows doesn't "need" it,
apple is killing it off,
what does it do?
why is VW so sensitive to out of date software,
yet requires up to the second graphics drivers?
a little clarity or rewriting would help...
-
are you saying he should now accept that VW08 is incapable of doing DWG exports and "upgrade" to VW11 just to achieve one of the most basic functions of a CAD program?????
that's the kind of "support" no one needs
nice one jeffrey!

add more "spot heights" to the source data where you want the detail to be more accurate.
i.e. give the DTM more to work with;
but only if you know the site well enough to be making up data!

i'm afraid i know nothing about macs,
maybe one of the apple fundis on this
board could chip in?
what i found on google, but not sure
if it applies to your version of the OS:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1810
from the instructions for the 10.6 + newer
firewall it seems that apple have crippled
user customization or outgoing control.
for the jobs ubercontrolmeister>
what you should be looking at is option 3
of the 10.5 instructions:
"Set access for specific services and applications:"
and add VW the list + set to deny
if the default firewall won't do it google
for a 3rd party firewall.
there are plenty free or $$ versions for the
pc so there should be something for mac?
other google results for mac firewall:

have you got a firewall you can configure?
until you can get this sorted out,
add a firewall block on VW and
tell it not to phone home

to return to the original contention of the thread,
your 2011 renders are a lot more washed out,
are there settings you might easily change to
get the same level of "vividness" in the 2010
render? obviously neither are "realistic" but
the 2011 renders are just boring.
could this be because you are mimicing a 2010
setup? would a default 2011 render be any different?
-
ooooh, they deleted another one!
and i haven't insulted anyone,
yet...

are the fun police 'disappearing' posts?
-
sounds like a hole in your firewall...
what happens if you entirely disconnect
from the network?
no wireless, no wire, no internet...

there is a demo version
of windoor you can try,

jonathan
thanks, that tip should
be repeated massively in
your documentation, or in
popups, or something, as
it's always been a mystery
to me what defines outside
or inside on windoor
-
they ain't coming...
any longstanding, repeatable glitch
and it's either 'get the latest driver'
or it's a deathly hush
ummm, stairs, call-outs, anyone?
on the graphics front why in the
name of the great spaghetti monster
are we urged to upgrade graphic drivers,
when still using quicktime 7, which has
little or no support for gpu acceleration?!
apple has canned it + quicktime x,
released for mac 2 years ago, ain't
available for windows
painted a bit into the corner?
-
if you do sliding/folding
doors often then get WinDoor,
very easy, very flexible,
no calculating required...
and using it as a design tool
you can flip through all sorts
of permutations of leaf size,
where to park in the open position
etc.etc...

the fact NV is now "fixing more bugs per release"
would have to be viewed against how many bugs there
actually are per release to have any value...
you might have fixed 10 bugs last year + 20 bugs this
year, but if there are 1000 unfixed bugs it's not much
to crow about...
i'm trying to screw up the courage to make the jump
from 12.5 to 2011 in the new year, but there is so
much gloom + moaning about 2011 that it's difficult
to justify rationally...
are there any delighted or even happy 2011 users,
not connected to NV or any sellers or trainers?
-
it happens if you work in the annotations of a viewport
with an active class that is set to be not visible
in that viewport...
i don't think it happens on a design layer...

hi
i'm trying to get STACK LAYERS
to work in a VW12.5 script as
the "save view" doesn't seem to
record or recover this setting
neither pref 94 nor 95 work in VW12.5
"STACK LAYERS" doesn't work as a
"DoMenuTextByName"
and there is no refence to it at all
in the 12.5 help or VS appendix
does anyone have any ideas?
thanks

that sounds very apple-like;
trust us, we know better,
don't ask any questions,
you'll only be disappointed...
what i think people want to
know is something like:
do they actually have a plan?
are they just playing catch-up
and adding flashy features for
the next release adverts?
do they have any intention of ever
fixing integral problems, or are
they just stringing people along
in the hope that they'll keep
upgrading in the hope that
things will work next time?
for instance; the stair tool.
is it "we're trying to make it work better"
or "live with it, that's as good as we can get it"?
when you base your career on a piece
of software it's difficult + expensive
to vote with your feet.
but enough indifference + non-performance
from the manufacturer will do it...

SP1 after less than a month?
sounds like they didn't bother to
finish beta testing properly, or
that the launch was dictated by
date rather than fitness for use?
-
if you can 'move' with the viewer would
you not be able to 'unlock' as well?

just tried the 2011 evaluation
with a 12.5 project i'm currently
working on and it couldn't convert
the whole model, some error message
to that effect.
i turned off all the graphic bells
+ whistles + it was fairly sluggish
in 2D, very much slower in 3D rendering,
using minimum settings on all rendering
types.
on a new file i tried out the new stair,
which crashed as soon as i got to the
railings tab. the new stair tool looks
nice, but doesn't get upstairs...
don't have time to poke around to find
the obvious reason to upgrade, so if
anyone knows a real compelling reason
please mention it!

if you're taking it to site
you'll need a good sleeve to
protect the screen.
i've stuffed up many palm screens
with the fine grit that hangs in
the air on site. you can't see it
at the time, but in a clean office
environment you can sob over your
torn up screen...
the folding sliding doors tool is still hopeless in 2012

windoor does it...
