  1. it's a bit off topic but i would be carefull with Autohybrits as it slows down the grafic performance... at least for me. I allways work arround by creating a 2D/3D symbol or a floor object ....
  2. but why would you?if you only need straight text just set the Text to layer plane and it handles like a (flat but editable) 3d Object
  3. thanks for your reply jim... my clients are very restricted in installing software (Nomad) to their cooperate devices...so i might just go on and publish PDFs and share them on Dropbox
  4. why would i use the VW dropbox via VW cloudservices without Service select..? what am i missing? i could share any Folder and thats what i do here too no PDF creation or any other advantage. and why are service select prizes such a mystery...? if i go on the distibuters pages i can ask fpr an offer...does it mean everybody pays a different prize or do i have to hackle..?;-)
  5. i agree to Andy AND i would like to to be able to set linecolour to grey so it is visible on dark elements... i work arround this mith hidden line foregroundrender it would just make things easier... ( ps i like the Glas sheet trick of Alan! i allways worked arround with a dublicate in place with no fill at all....)
  6. end of year deccission to make. i want to upgrade from VW 2016 to VW2017 basic as all renderengines are included now . As i would never use most features of the architekture Version ...except walls for it's hybrid appearence. has anybody experiences to use old files of an VW architect version in a basic Version can i still edit old walls from my former files (incl. doors) or is this blocked..?
  7. i really like open GL renders with edges and ambient occlusion lighting for it's speed and scetchy look .But as we do interiors, the ceiling allways appeared dark i allways worked arround with an imported plane white PDF-page that allways rendered white but latly disovered a 2D rectangle does the trick too... maybe it's helpful and maybe i could tell my rendersetup one day "make white ceiling" as probably most people want to have.... merry X-mas to everybody
  8. a little but very effective tool for better handlingsize of PDFs https://smallpdf.com/compress-pdf it is online, free and works well..
  9. no nothing works anymore than after restart all ok have you noticed that the selection tool is blank too...very strange..
  10. every now and than i get blank tools and windows like in the file i uploaded here anybody else? only cure is a forced restart…:-((
  11. i would like to have a progressbar while rendering OpenGL viewports...! its unpredictable how long it takes or does the program still render...too vage!
  12. well PDF sice depends on the dpi setting in your viewports as well...check "edit.." (right mousclick on your viewport in the Navigation palette) and go to 144dpi that works most of the time quite well. if you need higher resolution and in any other case, there is my new fav. website www.smallpdf.com reduces size of PDF files dramaticly without any qualityloss and for free... check it out it is a great help to be able to email normal filesizes.. (reducing filesize in preview always messed everything up in my experience)
  13. wishlist...!!! but thanks for your answer
  14. is ist possible to create a (sheetlayer) viewport from a view on a designlayer trimmed with the clipcube on two sides in VW 2016?
  15. Ahh, thanks! may be better execution with my cmd-Z routine....!! ;-))
  16. does anybody know what turns off my smart curser cues all the time...? is there a key i shouldtn't hit?
  17. Thank you! in the middle of the night i worked out that a hidden line foreground render would do the job...good night!
  18. i just noticed in the "whats new" video at the Vectorworkshomepage it is shown that its possible to adjust the ambient light and the etges on the left side of the building change to white---! hmm cann't reproduce it...!
  19. @Tim i could change class settings but all edges get rendered in black in Open GL no matter what colour the object has...
  20. @zoomer i like it too!! the lineweight gets really fine if you set the Sheetlayer resolution to 300...
  21. hi! i am running succefully VW2016 since yesterday on El Capitano an went straight to work...!!! I am presenting a fairstand made out of cubes. Open GL renders with white Cubes are great!!! But i have also black cubes and of course edges are rendered in black- no matter which colour i give as a pen colour on the design layer. i can work arround but would be curious if anybody has a trick? i added a file to demonstrate
  22. well dimensioning in 3D still doesn't work... i guess!
  23. good morning! i allways add dimensioning in the viewport annotations.that gives me a clean drawing on my designlayer to work on. and they are assossiative there as well, if you choosed this option in the document settings...
  24. good morning Matt, cann't remember that tool but maybe you select via the magic "select similar tool" and than apply a text style...
