A Parker Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Hi everyone, I am a Landscape Architecture student and don't have access to the vectorworks software. Is there anyone who can do a quick conversion for me of a vwx file to a dwg or even 3dm? I am working on Rhino. Thanks so much in advance, Annie Parker Quote Link to comment

rDesign Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 @A Parker - I sent you message yesterday offering to help, but I remembered this morning that Commercial versions of VW can not open Education version files. If your file is an Education version, you’ll either need to get another Education version user to help you — or see if someone at Vw can help you convert your file. Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) The original poster @A Parker sent me the file (it was not an educational version), but since it was just a Point Cloud Object I was unable to export the Point cloud to any other 3d format. All it would export was the bounding box of the point cloud. Does anyone know if Vw can export a point cloud to any other 3d format? Or if there is a way to extract the original point cloud data back out of the Point Cloud Object? Edited October 13, 2023 by rDesign Quote Link to comment

You could use "extract 3D Loci" from the point cloud and then export that to .dwg. Reimporting back to VWX shows the loci stay intact round trip. 1 Quote Link to comment

Well, it's actually more like 99% of the battle, but who am I to argue with 1980's cartoon wisdom? Edited November 17, 2023 by Your Name Here 1 Quote Link to comment
