ragarchitects Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Hello, I was wondering if someone would be able to help me. When taking viewports from my 3d model in elevation and section, two of the sides are shaded. There is no lighting added to the model. We use Architect 2014 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted May 30, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 30, 2014 If there are no lights in the model, then that is the default lighting, which wont light an object evenly. If you want even lighting all over, you can pick two directional lights both facing opposite or opposing directions. Or use a rendering mode that gets its lighting from the Renderworks background, like the "Realistic Interior/Exterior" modes. Quote Link to comment
ragarchitects Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Hi Jim, I have tried this, Ive set up many lights and nothing seems to be working. I don't think I have the option for rendering from the render works background, as we only have Architect? Quote Link to comment

ragarchitects Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 is there a chance I could send it to you to have a look? I am sure there is something obvious that I must be missing. Quote Link to comment

ragarchitects Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 I have sent you through a file, with an explanation. Thank you very much for your time. I have spoken to a girl in VSS for 2 days now and she has been able to suggest anything. Quote Link to comment
