Erdem Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hello All, Our Vectorworks (designer 2011 with renderworks) based on a really strong machine. COnfig: i7 - 3.2 Ghz Windows 7 Pro (64) 8Gb Ram Nvidia Quadro Fx 4800 Graphics Card And some more good options. We are happy with the results that we get from Vectorworks and the work station. But we have some interesting problems. If any one can show us a good way to handle this i would be really pleased. After rendering, we want to export the view as a TIFF or Jpeg. But it takes too much time than rendering. It starts to render again for a longer time. What is the solution? (But please do not tell us the Printscreen and pate to paint way! ) This is realy urgent for us. where do we have mistake/s? Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Use the Render Bitmap tool. Make sure you set its preferences first. The image created can be copied into other applications or placed onto a Design Layer (or Sheet Layer if you scale it). Quote Link to comment
Kaare Baekgaard Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 If you are rendering in a design layer, you stop the first rendering at any point by pressing Escape. Then you use the export image command. If you set the image resolution higher than the on-screen rendering, it will take longer to render and that is just a fact of life, but at least you don't have to wait twice. Quote Link to comment
Erdem Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 Thx very much. I will try the things you explained. And inform you again. Regards, Erdem Quote Link to comment
Danielj1 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 One quick solution: export from a rendered sheet-layer viewport. But make sure that the export image resolution matches the sheet layer's resolution; this will remove the re-rendering action and export the image directly. In other words, set the sheet layer's resolution to, say, 250dpi, and then export the image at the same number but in pixels-per-inch. Dan J. Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 what about using Batch Render Jobs. These allow you to set up all the render options, and then tell Vectorworks to export all the render jobs, while you go home, or go to sleep. Quote Link to comment

barkest Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) During the render process (I believe this is correct for 2011) do not click on the viewport whilst rendering or it will start rending again (from the start). Also make sure when you export you have the 'Update visible out of date viewports prior to exporting unchecked' You can also look at checking File > Document Settings > Document Preferences > Display tab : Save Viewport Cache This will mean that you do not get the yellow and red bars around the viewport (indicating out of date render) when switching between design and sheet layers (even though you have not done anything). In other words it caches your viewport. Downside here is that your file will become bigger so keep an eye on it. Edited April 25, 2013 by barkest Quote Link to comment
