@michaelk—not as far as I am aware, no.

@Kevin K—those wrought iron pieces look fab Kevin. Nice work.

Am so afraid to comment on this thread, fearing the resurrection of the graphics shard bug.

@MarCur—as far as I know, VWX has known about this for many months.

You are literally a treasure

Make the HVAC symbols auto hybrids (or make 2D symbols for your HVAC. ITEMS) and set fill to your preferred hatch

TY @inikolova—Super cool.

@inikolova: Sorry; Vectorworks 2024 SP6?

Bummer & I mean that most sincerely. It can get hair-tearingly maddening.

Happened to me many times on my MBP M1 MAX 32 GB Unified Ram. It seemed to disappear eventually. Are you using a similar machine?

did you click the 'Download All Project Files" link? I did, and it downloaded what looks to be what you're asking after.

I do this exact thing all the time

There are a bunch of Bulb envelopes in the VWX resource browser.

@DBruhnke — great tip thanks so much.

I have had the clip cube activate randomly several times.

Exactly how I did it, and it's as tedious as it sounds.

@Dave Donley—thanks for the link, I'll check it out. In my world, things generally move way too rapidly and at the same time, belatedly, either from information paralysis or simple over work. I'm often lucky to have costumes on hangers for cueing. EDIT: went a checked out Magic Poser - holy cow, so easy! except for the export portion only included in the 15$ / month subscription. Dang.

I guess my situation is completely niche-based.

Not yet. Looks a little spendy at first glance tho.

It's interesting how individualized each designer's needs can be. I prefer the articulable types, as old as they are, because my clients are choreographers and things resonate so much more with them when direction and force are indicated. I needed someone half naked in a bathtub for one of the last three premieres I just got done doing. And people rolling around on the floor, and 'moving' in unison with gestures resembling those the Choreo made. Etc. Additionally, I often take costume swatches / colors and apply to the figures I use, to help with the visualization. And I have the ability to manipulate: body mass type, skin tone, hair color, footwear etc. Do I care if they look ultra realistic? Nawp. Do I care if they help express the physical and visual intent of the client? yeppers. I'll be real sad when those figures fail to work in VWX. And they're starting to fail now. Sometimes they break apart and cannot be put back together, lol. As I don't see anything at that price covering that range of - well everything, esp without going outside the VWX package, I have no reason to move on. Yet. Anyone knows of any package which covers all or most of these features, please do alert me, even if it's another software package.

Can't endorse this tool enough. It has saved my bacon (& my grits) twice this year.

Concise and very informative to this nurbs noob

@TomWhiteLight I've done the same thing to capture the POV for various camera placements. doable - not that fun.

@Jesse Cogswell—esp like the Multi-view mode suggestion.

@Elite Exhibits you are correct, sadly. I have never been able to fathom why I need to kick back out of sheet layer to design layer to edit a symbol's texture. Irritating. If there is a logical explanation, I'd love to hear it.
