sufrana Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hi, completely new to this. I've just upgraded to 2009 VW and my resource browser is empty. How do I access all my resources. The helpline was useless. Please help. I know that if you access something then the whole lot will download but I can't remember how. Thanks Quote Link to comment
mar schrammeyer Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Click on the little triangle of your resource browser and select those files you like to add. Quote Link to comment
sufrana Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 I tried that and it only selects individual ones, I would like to upload all of them. Quote Link to comment
GWS Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Are you trying to access your own resources that you have created in an older version or resources that are in the VW library? Add a signature to your posts showing your setup, it can help with future questions. (At the top of the page goto My Stuff>Edit Profile) Quote Link to comment
sufrana Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Resources that are in the VW library. In the 2008 version you needed to almost unlock your resource folder and then you could access all of them. But stupidly enough I can't remember how I did it. At the moment I can't even place a chair or render a wall. And I will do the signature thing now. Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment
GWS Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 (Resources are a cumbersome beast!!) Open a file and open the resource browser. Click on the little arrow and select find resource. Type in what you're looking for i.e. Glass, and select the 'files on disk' radio button. Once the search is complete select all and press the select button, bottom right. Alternatively.....(with your working file open) navigate to the libraries in 2009 [Vectorworks 2009/libraries/textures, and open a file, i.e. Nature. Then open your working file but select the nature file in the resource browser. Select the files you want and right click to import into your current document. (see PNG, notice I have 'Untitled' file open, but the textures flooring....open in the resource browser) As I said this is not intuitive by any stretch....perhaps someone else might be able to make it clearer. Hopefully I have not confused you more. Quote Link to comment
