matt_vinoir Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 why does practically every add or subtract solid i do tell me that the geometry can't be computed?? Sometimes i change the fill colour and it lets me? What is going on!!! GRRRR Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Biplab Posted August 2, 2002 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 2, 2002 What version of VW are you running? Waht platform Mac or Win? What is the memory configuration of your computer? You may want to regenerate the solids you are trying to add/subtract/intersect by doing successive Edit Groups. Quote Link to comment
matt_vinoir Posted August 2, 2002 Author Share Posted August 2, 2002 hi, i've got latest version of vw architect. student version. ( although at my work its vw 7 and does the same thing) I'm on windows xp with a dual 1.8 athlon 1.5 gig. with a gfti4600. Is that what you menat by memory configuration? I get the feeling. vw isn't up to it. Luckily archicad is to have full boolean operations added in version 8 so i'm leaving vw in the dust.It can't even export to viz 4 without messing up. And i'm hardly going to use renderworks or artlantis to render images am i!! I think vw needed to re appraise what exactly its cumstomers want to do. Quote Link to comment
0XiDE Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 I have the same problem and it's really becoming agrivating. I use version 10 at school and 9.5.1 at home, both which have the same results. Is there anyway to clear the object's history so that it increases performance and response time? Thanks Quote Link to comment

Spongebob Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 HAHAH! Have you finfished yet Alex? lol. ACK! Architecture comin up. I am going to permanent Home Show at Southbank to get Leaflets and ideas. I am gonna make alot of my stuff using 3D modelling. I suggest you place you object in you house somewhere. Im doin it and so is Nic and maybe ohters. Quote Link to comment
nic Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 If Alex puts his object in his built environment he has an immediate 100MB file. Is that so smart? Hahaha. Quote Link to comment
Bart Rammeloo Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 First: never encountered the problem you described starting from version 9. It did happen in 8 and prior, but in my case nothing starting from 9. Second: why would you want to use VIZ? There other options available. Consider C4D. There's a plugin that regulates data exchange, just like between ACAD and VIZ. VIZ is harder to learn/use, more expensive and has about the same options. No RPC-support, but that's about the only difference that could matter (and even in that case there are other solutions). Unless you extensively use organic geometry? Third: If you really want to use VIZ, then what kind of export option are you using? DXF/DWG or IGES? Cheers, BaRa Quote Link to comment
zero Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Hey BaRa You know much about the c4d? i'd love some help if you can be bothered... Quote Link to comment
Bart Rammeloo Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Hi Zero, I think I know my way around C4D, as long as you're talking about vizualisation. Character animation isn't my strongest point How can I help you? Kind regards, BaRa [ 06-30-2003, 03:29 PM: Message edited by: BaRa ] Quote Link to comment

Thanks You'll have to wait a bit longer. It seems to be high on the NURBS wishlist. Cheers, BaRa Quote Link to comment
zero Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Hey so BaRa, I'd love a hand with C4D if you have the time. Specifically, what's the easiest way to change the rotation of a roof tile material on a roof object created in VW? And, whats the easiest way to map a gutter onto the face created by the same VW roof tool? Ping me at matcaird at hotmail.com if you can be bothered. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
