NickB Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I have been trying to duplicate a series of spheres along a 3d nurbs curve. Using the the duplicate along path in the 2d palette works with a nurbs curve, but the spheres are only aranged in a plane, following the path in 2d but not 3d, is there a way to do this in 3d? Thanks a lot, Nick Quote Link to comment
Bart Rammeloo Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Can't think of a way to do this, actually. At least not without a lot of fiddling. Quote Link to comment
NickB Posted August 7, 2004 Author Share Posted August 7, 2004 Very frustrating, I'm not sure that Vectorworks' claim to be up there with Rhino and other 3d modellers is quite justified yet... Quote Link to comment
Bart Rammeloo Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Where did you find that claim - the rhino claim, I mean. Cheers, Bara Quote Link to comment

NickB Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 BaRa: http://www.nemetschek.net/news/greco_review.html Thanks for adding this to the wishlist Biplab, if VW is serious about getting into the 3d markey then surely it needs to have the ability to have the 4 window setup of many 3D modellers (i.e. Top, Front, Right, Perspective) all visible at once. I'm not aware of a way to do this in VW. It seems to me that there is definitely space for VW in the market as an affordable, yet robust NURBS modeller for the Mac. To really get that space I think that the ease of use and interface needs some work. I did read the post about keeping the number of commands low for NURBS surfaces, but it seems to me that this means that users have to learn workarounds which is a less transparent way of working. Just some thoughts, cheers, Nick Quote Link to comment

It is compared with Rhino and Form.Z, and said that there are certain equal parts, but that's about it. Quote Link to comment
