Stan Rostas Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Does the tape tool work in 3D so you can measure correct distancies and angles in axonometric or perspective views - like in SU? No Quote Link to comment

Kool Aid Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Corner windows Looks really, really good! Can't wait? But what about (i) bay windows and (ii) odd angles? Not to mention (i) + (ii)? By the way, I don't give a large rodent's posterior for the level of detail here. I have no need for American Gothic Corner Windows in Victorian Prairie Renessaince Style. Or whatever the McMansiontects do. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Judah Warshaw Posted September 14, 2009 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 14, 2009 Corner windows Looks really, really good! Can't wait? But what about (i) bay windows and (ii) odd angles? Not to mention (i) + (ii)? You are not limited to 90 degree angles. The corner window will miter to the line of the wall, so really any angle should work. The window will only miter on one side, so it will not stretch to the width of the entire wall. This has already been requested as a wish several times through the beta process, and please fell free to add your name to the list. Here is a sample at around 45 degrees, along with trim, sill and a transom. Quote Link to comment

I would say less than 5%, its just that is what gets the most press. Ours is a multi-cultural place with folks from all over the world unlike most culturally homogeneous places in the world. What we need here in the U.S is a good Glazed wall tool, A.K.A Curtainwall or Storefront. Quote Link to comment
nate_tmsarchitects Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Maybe this has been asked a hundred times over but has there been any advancement to a 64 bit platform with this latest release of Vectorworks 2010? Also has there been any additions to the window PIO that helps create circle windows at all? One last question if anyone knows. With this new Wall sculpting tool will that allow for the ability to create flares (see attached Image) on my walls or possibly be able to create slanted walls?

I was in the beta process for a while, but obviously missed this vote. Bay windows are an interesting architectural idiom and feature, included in a variety of styles, from (at least) Victorian/Edwardian through Art Deco/Functionalism to Post-modern/Contemporary/Retro. Corner windows, on the other hand, are Modernist and Retro-Modernist only. Love them anyway! Quote Link to comment

You can create flares and slanted walls, but not end to end of the wall. You will have to fill in the corners with separate objects not within the wall. Quote Link to comment

Bohdan there is a 3D Tape Measure tool at Vectorbits: www.vectorbits.com (Look in Donationware) Quote Link to comment
starling75 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Yes I know ... and Windoor for (not only) corner windows and some other usefull plug-ins.. But it would be fine to have these tools already built in the VW. According to improved 3D functionality of 2010 - 3D snaps, guidelines etc seemed to me natural that the tools for geametrical analysis in 3D will be improved as well. Quote Link to comment
Tom G. Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Do SketchUp 7 imports still lose their textures when imported? The Arch demo showed a SU import with no textures and then, in a later view, the import was textured. Were these textures added after the model had been imported into Vwks? Quote Link to comment

Jershaun Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 What bugs me is Multi core has been implemented on the Mac Only. This is another example of Windows users being neglected. Lots of dissappointments with this version... Quote Link to comment
Administrator JuanP Posted September 15, 2009 Administrator Share Posted September 15, 2009 The website is up and running check what's new in version 2010. for all new video features check: http://www.nemetschek.net/library/index.php Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Taken from the Parasolid & BIM PDF: Vectorworks features multiprocessor support for the Windows? operating system; multiprocessor support for Mac OS X (10.5 Leopard) will be announced in the near future. Granted that it's not multi-core but unless that PDF is incorrect, the Windows version already supports multi-processors - whereas the Mac version does not. Regards, Tim Quote Link to comment
Itchy Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) By the way, we have great news about Snow Leopard and Windows 7 for all of our Macintosh and Windows users. Whats the good news for Windows 7 users? i have had a quick look over the new PDFs but can not find any mention of it? Edited September 15, 2009 by Xsasinator Quote Link to comment
Administrator JuanP Posted September 15, 2009 Administrator Share Posted September 15, 2009 The good news is that Vectorworks 2010 is supporting the latest available version of Windows 7, unless something changes on release date on October. Word of caution update video drivers to Windows 7 drivers. Quote Link to comment
Jershaun Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 After viewing some of the videos I notice the "hardware accelleration" still doesn't operate. VW still shows white blotches while panning, only when the mouse is released is the screen redrawn and those white blotches then disappears. Quote Link to comment
