Shortnort Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I am having difficulties creating and modifying VW Textures. Here is an example (but happens for ALL textures): Imported Metal Blue RT Changed color then the displayed color is a jumbled mess... Clicked ok hoping it would be successful, but nope... I have tried several textures, changing settings, etc. but to no avail... So I can not customize textures anymore. Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee jblock Posted November 15, 2023 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 15, 2023 @ShortnortMy best guess would be a graphics card problem. Is there an updated driver for your graphics card on your system? Were you able to edit textures before on this machine? 1 Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Dave Donley Posted November 15, 2023 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 15, 2023 The texture thumbnail looking like that means that Cineware did not launch properly. It either timed out launching, or is missing a system component. This can happen if you copy Vectorworks to a new machine without running the installer, which installs required software components in the system. Or, on first launch, Cineware may take an unusual amount of time, and the second launch should be faster and successful. Or, if you recently updated the OS significantly (like going to a new major version); re-running the installer should help. 1 Quote Link to comment

I have not updated my OS and I have changed textures recently with no difficulties. For some reason VW takes a very long time loading Cineware since I upgraded to 2024, and yes, I installed 2024 directly to this machine (which is the only one I use for VW). I will research the graphics driver issue, but I have a program that is supposed to keep those up to date. Thanks for the suggestions. Quote Link to comment

0 Shortnort Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 My graphics card is fine. Also, there is NO PROBLEM with textures in VW 2023. Perhaps the latest update has a glitch? Processor AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor 4.20 GHz Installed RAM 64.0 GB Graphics Card AMD Radeon RX 6600 (Latest driver installed) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display Is my machine adequate for VW2024?
