Bas Vellekoop Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) At first sight this looks awesome! But no materials ? If vectorworks works as slick as the movie looks then everyone is happy! Edited September 9, 2014 by Buzz Lightyear Quote Link to comment

Kevin McAllister Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 2015 looks pretty good! I am especially excited about the deform tool. KM Quote Link to comment
Tom Klaber Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I like the new graphic design of the video! So professional and grown-up. I hope the UI moves in that direction in the future. If the computer they show in the video is running 2015, there is no UI update this round. Though I still saw 3 different versions of the Vectorworks logo on that page. Quote Link to comment
Patrick Fritsch Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Do you think we can add spandrel panels and back pans to this new curtain wall tool? Typical curtain wall components... Quote Link to comment

ray isaacs Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 crashing like crazy this morning...working with large site models, as is often the case. i expect that the shift to 64 bit will help significantly? ray Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 9, 2014 Author Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 9, 2014 crashing like crazy this morning...working with large site models, as is often the case. i expect that the shift to 64 bit will help significantly? ray For all testing I have done, it should indeed. The large majority of crashing issues I have seen from users in the past two years were memory-based, which would be at the very least reduced by the memory limit increase if not resolved flat out. In situations where there are massive issues with the base geometry, that needs to be corrected in the specific file where the issue is occurring but that's less than 15% of cases in my experience. Sorry I can't give a more absolute answer, but crashing really is case-by-case. You'll be able to test your files in the trial version to make sure the issues are resolved before making a decision, I encourage everyone to do so as soon as it becomes available.

mjm Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Seriously? The video doesn't play back on Safari? Chrome, yes, Firefox 33, yes. On Safari 7.0.6 I get a blank white window, audio track playing in background. Anyone else seeing this? [/img] Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 9, 2014 Author Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) I see it playing fine on Safari 7.0.6 on both internal and external networks here on OS X 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9. I would just watch it on one of the browsers on your machine that is working, if you want to troubleshoot your Safari browser specifically you can start with wiping the cookies/cache: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4448839?tstart=0 I gave up on Internet Explorer and Safari long ago personally, but we still test those, FireFox and Chrome as the most commonly used browsers.

mjm Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hi Jim; as usual, thanks for the quick response. I of course viewed, salivating, the video on the chrome browser. After reading your reply, I 'reset' Safari, to no avail. I'll look further into the issue later. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 9, 2014 Author Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 9, 2014 Sorry if my answer seemed demeaning or rude, I did not intend that but rereading it I can see it being read that way. Its getting busy -FAST- here today and I am in auto-solve-the-technical-problems-immediately mode. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 9, 2014 Author Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) I can now answer any questions you have about Vectorworks 2015. More detailed news coverage material and feature-specific videos/images will be rolling out in the next few days of course, but I have been cleared to answer your preliminary questions now.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 9, 2014 Author Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 9, 2014 Do you think we can add spandrel panels and back pans to this new curtain wall tool? Typical curtain wall components... Yes. I believe what you'll want to use are the modes for the panel components called "Spandrel" which lets you do a solid plate of differing parameters than the glass/glazing panels and "Spandrel with Glazing" which lets you do a solid plate on one side with glass on the other.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 9, 2014 Author Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 9, 2014 With the introduction of 64 bit to VW, will we have the ability to choose a session based default 3D render mode? i.e. all renders in 3D can be defaulted to hidden line? Live hidden line rendering? You can now select Wireframe or OpenGL as your default rendering mode as well as a separate setting for Orthogonal or Perspective projections. however, not Hidden Line yet. It was deemed too slow to use as a default rendering mode however this may change soon, with the last tweaks to the graphics module speed they did towards the end of release Hidden Line for simple-to-medium complexity files was reasonable on higher powered graphics hardware. There is still some CPU dependency in Hidden Line though that limits its speed, this will vanish eventually but I do not know exactly when. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 9, 2014 Author Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 9, 2014 Thank you for all the information on VW 2015. I have a few more questions regarding the impending update: i) Will it make full use of high resolution (retina) displays? Yes. Vectorworks now includes the needed UI scaling to be compatible with Retina displays, as well as the 2X icon set to account for the increased pixel count. (If that is what you meant by full use.)
