    Push pull wall height

    in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests

    Posted · Edited by M5d

    Direct editing of the components like was shown in the Vw 2015 overall movie would be really neat. Maybe one day.

    I think you may have asked for this before mike, but anyway, and / or add a drop down option to the height section in the wall OIP to select wall components needing individual adjustment overriding their style settings.

    Aligning wall textures bug?!

    in Rendering

    Posted · Edited by M5d

    There are so many variables in walls over walls, that textures rarely seem to align. I find the placement of windows and doors also seems capable of changing texture origins.

    What Vincent might want is a "Use world X and Y" button. It would work in some instances and in textures where the start point is critical it would provide a consistent reference point for adjusting alignment.

    Keep in mind, to take advantage of surface hatching in 2015, you WILL need Renderworks...

    Unless you're making a change to the way Renderworks is packaged in 2015, that just aggravates scheven architect's observations.

    I agree that Renderworks is essential, it's also been an area in which Vectorworks has maintained an edge over the others. This year, however, ArchiCAD and Allplan have pulled no punches integrating CineRender so comprehensively within their software. To achieve that kind of polish, we're (currently) using Renderworks and then exporting to Cinema 4D. I doubt most users using this workflow would care if Renderworks actually got more expensive to bring the same full set of CineRender features inside Vectorwork. Anything that reduces or eliminates the need to export / interpolate from one software into another is a massive boost in efficiency.

    Vectorworks 2015

    Planet Vectorworks and your twitter feed are running this announcement up the pole again today. Earlier this year it was, and still is, referred to as a "partnership" between the two companies plus the twitter feed says, "Take your BIM to the next level with Synchro?s 4D integration", but the only thing I've been able to find linking the two softwares is that IFC is supported. Synchro Pro (SP) imports other proprietary BIM formats directly, or with a plugin produces a native SP file from within a BIM software without requiring IFC interpolation, is there more to this "partnership" story yet to come with 2015?

    So basically to compare VWX and archicad you have to include renderworks as archicad comes with cinerender... That reduces the price difference quite a bit. Thx.

    That's a recent development for ArchiCAD, so I wouldn't be surprised if 2015 saw some changes in that area as well.

    will VW moved to c4d r16

    As a result of a 'partnership' formed with Adobe last year, Maxon basically gives Cinema 4D Lite away for free with After Effects. We pay for Renderworks (C4D Lite?).

    This year both Allplan and ArchiCAD have gained comprehensive CineRender integration, so it seems likely Renderworks will also receive a big bump in capability as well.

    Clever way to get around the NDA! By simply saying "What if", our Dutch friends are only speaking hypothetically, and are neither confirming nor denying what is in the latest release.

    Funny! I guess we?re all familiar with the 50 shades of weirdness that usually accompanies VW releases.

    ------

    So Bob, you signed a NDA and would like to confirm, or should I say "hypothetically" confirm, that you and co are both beta testers trying your "clever" ways to get around NDAs?

    I've got a question for y'all (beta testers) that shouldn't breach your NDAs, is 2015 going to be a well-behaved and stable release?

    Back on topic, and assuming the teaser is legit, "materials quickly can be assigned and that it can be directly used in an OpenBIM workflow", is attention grabbing.

    Isn't perhaps MATERIALS :owith IFC classing and plugin malleability more the focus of the teaser, than the curtain wall tool itself??? Too optimistic?

    And the "out of memory" bug (mostly) fixed with 64bit, that's a few big ticket items out of the bag already.

    It roughly says: Simple curtainwalls can (now) be quickly and easily created with VWs. But what if we reveal that this organic 3D model easily can be adjusted, materials quickly can be assigned and that it can be directly used in an OpenBIM workflow?

    Good tagline Vincent! Yours is good too Jim, the new company motto?

    For human interaction, conflict, argument, and debate to generate results, however, it's essential that the subject is transparent and able to be addressed without fear or favour.

    That's not the (G.) Nemetschek way we've been witnessing over the last couple years.

    Sites w/ Revit models instead of IFC

    I think we'll see more progress on this over then next couple of years.

    It's all about user demand....

    Your second comment appears to cancel out the first, unless there's something in IFC 4 that takes it beyond being a generic exchange / reference format?

    I think GoodBye is correct, Jeffery's ?user demand? caveat seems more like a catch 22.

    Companies have to author their products somewhere first and logic dictates which format to use. IFC files by default, are secondary to the native format they're authored in and the inherent limitations of IFC makes the native version the superior option to Revit users. Where's the user demand going to come from?
