  1. I made a symbol from a window with interior and exterior trim which I gleefully planted in many walls of varying thicknesses. Then I realized I only wanted to show interior trim but once I shut off a trim it now makes white blank boxes where the trim was..(glee gone!) Thanks to all for reading.. Please tell me what I am missing. (I'd add an image but was not sure how) Michelle Mac OSX Vw 12.5 I know, I know I need to upgrade
  2. Thanks Peter worked like a charm!
  3. I am doing as-built drawings (existing conditions) of huge a dutch barn. I measured with a laser every 16" the heights of its ceiling and then laid a good picture of it underneath the VW drawing to check my calculations which worked out close enough. I am trying to draw a clean elevation line and used the 2-d polyline tool (and no I am not savvy enough to use the curved polyline tool). I have a pretty nice resemblance but would love to smooth out the polyline. Can someone direct me to a method for that? I am still using 12.5 on my Mac book pro big thanks for any ideas michelle
  4. thanks Ozzie I will save them for a rainy day and sure hope they are helpful others. I ended up going the old school route printing some rocks of Michaelk's (and Google's) and pasting them in. Client happy for now but I will need these 3-d suckers shortly! michelle
  5. of course you don't! its a dinosaur! but works great for me now (it has to!) I am getting this dialogue box when I try to import Sketch up telling me to "open in Rosetta" I am in deadline mode and fear screwing my old version of VW up (not sure where the disks are and my burner is not working even if I did know) so will let this go until I get this done.
  6. OMG Thank you all so much. Michaelk I love those rocks...I hope I can pay it forward as much as I am grateful for these. Would still love to know how to get Sketch up stuff in my models...WOW they sure have a lot of cool things in that 3-d warehouse! huge thanks all! michelle VW 12.5.2 Mac OS X 10.6.8
  7. Guys what should I save it as? a different type of file? michelle VW 12.5 mac OSX 10.6.8
  8. Thank you I found many rocks in the sketch up warehouse. Not sure how to import an .skp but that must be easy to discern. Thanks again.
  9. I need some landscaping rocks and huge boulders..can anyone direct me to how to make one... Not a landscape architect but need some for a model big thanks! michelle VW 12.5.2 Mac OS X 10.6.8 ..I know its time for new version of VW's
  10. Is there a way to get time spent data out of this software. If not can someone suggest another application that works well with VW I use VW 12.5 Mac OSX 10.6.8 thanks and happy holidays Michelle
  11. On another post someone suggested to go to Sketch up for some new furniture and fixtures. (It was also recommended to contact manufacturers, dealers of those items..I did but time is not my side for this deadline). I did get some cool .skp items but am stumped as to how to get them in my VW draw'g. I am using 12.5.1, Mac OSX need I download Sketch up and open them there first? ugh! ps if anyone can spare an old fashioned chandelier I'd bake you cookies! thanks all michelle
  12. ...now being green with Sketch up how do i use those .skp files..I do not have sketch up and when I go to import it tells me I cannot import sketch up things with my mac, intel, etc etc. big thanks for the ideas! I also wrote to Vitra m
  13. please direct me to where I may find and download some cool modern furniture and fixtures..still using Knolls and furniture from back in the day and now need something more up to date. Thanks michelle ps not a lot of cash this job so prefer free ideas if possible working with ancient VW's version 12.5 on my mac OSX
  14. Ian I would have upgraded in a minute last night but with no sleep, fear factor, etc thats the last thing I would have needed if you know what I mean. But you can bet thats coming next week after I freak on my geek who detonated my time machine...I know I know I should have had another back up. thanks all!
  15. Anyone needig to do this please note when I took the pdf's apart figuring I could at least erase the rectangle beyond for better resolution- that was not the case..I had better res with the pdf intact and of course LOCKED in place when I had to write/draw over it. little white boxes hid things but I sure wish I could "cut" holes in it. making the best of a bad sitch here in the beautiful Catskills m
