it's been a while... and i was on a deadline for a project so i worked even more complicated arround with saved views.. and now found the time to try what you suggested but cannot replicate that on the sheetlayer viewport the clip disapears. so what do you do exactly? first Designlayer lets say Layer 1 draw the geometry than create layer viewport on new layer 2 than with this layer only visable make a clipcube clip than set a renderworkscamera and have it's view visable than create a sheetlayerviewport with the Camera activated than it does not display the clip on the sheetlayer all walls closed... what am i doing wrong?

honestly! i was searching the Tools in the workspace editor several times...how embarasing... anyhow thanks!

yes it is...

is there a trick to set the "Open" command to automaticly adjust collum width to the full size of names of files...? so i dont have to do this manually everytime i use this command.... little issue i know but enoying.

am i missing something? where is the Stamp tool gone in VW 2015? i mean the very useful tool whitch added +1 on each click...

bthw. the funny thing is, that its possible to give a section-viewport a perspective..! i think that it's all possible, but nobody thought of it.

Thank you! i wouldn't have thought that way, but its an acceptable workarround..! maybe wishlist?!

please make them bigger and reacting more accurate..! Standard proceder is now: you click and than change a value than realising that your ankerpoint change didnt change for whatever reason..so command-Z and start again...! this is a manytimesaday issue... displaytechnology changed and and small UI element are taking soo much concentration on high resolution sreens.. bthw: if one selects a pattern (since many Versions of Vectorworks) you get an other Pattern than you clicked on at the first click....

how is it possible to create an sheetlayer-viewport (not an sectionviewport!) with a clip from a clip Cube. for instance: i want to look in an room with an RW camera from different sides with cliped walls.. when i create a view on an designlayer no problem but when i create an viewport on an sheet layer the clip dissapears... is there a trick?

it seems to be much faster than, but i didn't move my workspace etc. and i didn't do the online activation to prevent any trouble ...

Done all that! 45seconds now!

Thank you Jim im aware of the workarrounds just thought there might be an easy way... But may be for the wishlist: autorotate to any object!

is it possible to auto rotate an 3d object like an imageprop? I have a human silhuette in an render file and want reder different views but with a hidden line render... or does anybody have gender neutral 3d models because my client run into a discussion of female and male ed person in as architectual drawing... well!!;-) so i have to change the renders into "androgyn"

it takes 47 sec. on my computer

it takes "ages" to " open Workspaces" anything i can do? it takes a while - not killing me, but just unusual because its a new Computer newest OS ..and no other App behaving like this...

Thanks Jonathan thats the trick ...!

i worked arround with a sweep but this is no solution because i cannot give the top and bottom surface a diffrent render texture because that would be the start and the end of the sweep.....

Thanks Jonathan! that helps in OpenGL but what to do in Renderworks? i added a screenshot in the original post to illustrate the problem...

when i extrude a circular geometry which looks great in 2D it look miserable in 3d ..3d resolution is set to high it does not change if i set it to very high same on vievport ....same bthw. with a round wall !!! any tricks

Thanks Jim! well it's a bit like retuning an instrument....

i finally updated to VW 2015 SP! and tried to adjust my workspace to my former shortcuts but i have difficulties because Workspace editor tells me for examble "cmd+," or "cmd+h" is used by oOS X. Is there a way to change that because these shortcuts worked fine on VW 2013 and Yosemite...

that looks great! tried to replicate that but failed- so far....:-( i tried two viewports stcked in a sheetlayer than set the top one in the resource browser "layer" to transparent 20% it works in plan view (but than i have fills) but not in hidden line. but than again i don't have any opacity setting in my PDF export window..? what am i doing wrong?

@DWorks i like that look and it would be even nicer if it would be possible to make an entire (2D) viewport lets say 40% transparent and than export this as an PDF while keeping the transparency.... both features i still miss in VW. i personally like a hidden line viewport on top of renders but i have to convert to lines and than set to transparent all the time...!

could you solve your problem? would be interesting to know what happend...

Hi. just a guess! as it is on many computers... maybe its a corrupt typset thas has been installed on every computer.and reinstlled and reinstalled...for a long time. i noticed that my program is running really solid with many files open referenced to other files than again referenced viewport and rendering and filesizes up to 120 mb ( including viewport cache) it sometimes crashes when editing typo and than autosave kicks in... but i think the typo is creating problems sometimes so it might not be in the program it might be causing a problem from outside... as i sayd its a guess, but it is suspicios that it happens on all computers!
