some various wishes

[Tobias Kern]

hi there,

following my first ideas for an upcoming new version of vectorworks:

(sorry i'm a non native english speaker)

1.

option to setup transparency separately for fillings (solids) an lines of an objects

(in vw 2015 transparency can only be managed for the whole object)

2.

autohybrid

2.1

hidden lines below the cut-height should be controlable via a separate

height (depth limit), in vw 2015 the all hidden lines are shown below the

cut-line.

2.2

maybe a picto who show the total height of the autohybrid object

with all visible lines (cut-line, depth limit of the lines above an below

with their depth and the layerheight and/or storeyheight),

so you have a visible control over the settings.

2.3

a preview button

2.4

option for cut-height relative to object

2.5

more cut-heights per autohybrid objects, with all the settings

per cut-height and option to generate viewports of the cut-heights.

3.

cutbox

the possibility to generate a cut of an object in horizontal direction

(vw 2015 allows only vertical cuts)

4.

visibilty/gui

the option to show all endpoints of all objects permanently.

so you have a better visible control over the geometry.

4.1

the option to show lines in the colors of the axis, if

they are in the same direction as the axis (red, green, blue)

4.2

all minus axis should shown as dashed lines

4.3

a option like the autocad-dice, who show where im looking

at (front, rear, left, right, from above, from below, ...)

5.

the option to generate nurbs-surfaces with more than two

paths

6.

push/pull tool

6.1

option to activate and push/pull more than on surface at once.

6.2

the push- or pull-directions should always the plus-direction

of the input-field.

7.

visible surfaces of cuts in the 3d space like sketchup dit it.

8.

the option to set the different mouse buttons to all tools i want

in the setup

9.

the option to snap only the visible points in viewports

(in x-ray mod snap to all points)

10

the option to show more than one workings-windows of one scene

like cinema 4d offers.

maybe four windows at once

front view left or right view, view from above, perspective

each window must separately controllable.

6.1

6.2 (in any Tool - positive is where the cursor points)

7 (yes - for Meshes)

8

10 (of course)

+1

Regarding #5

Using the Loft Surface tool, NURBS surfaces can be formed from as many paths as desired. Not limited to 2 paths.

Or is this wish referring to some other NURBS function?
