bcd Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I'm not sure if this is across the board, but with OpenGL the option to view with textures is greyed out but permanently checked. This should be unchecked as OGL textures are not available. Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Oh btw - imo - if options are not available in the Viewer they should not be shown at all. The practice of greying them out is an irritating marketing strategy used in Fundamentals but it just looks mean and unfriendly on the free viewer. Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Perhaps a better way all round would be a friendly Upgrade Now button where on mouseover all the goodies available would be revealed, and on click up pops a mini version of the online store. Quote Link to comment
Andy Broomell Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Just yesterday I tried VW Viewer for the first time, hoping for it to be a tool which would allow a remote colleague to view and interact with a 3D model. Unfortunately no textures are displayed which makes the viewer quite unhelpful for 3D models. Although I wouldn't expect RW rendering capabilities, the textures should still be displayed in OpenGL.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted December 17, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 17, 2014 It doesn't get any Renderworks guts at all from what I recall. I think I have seen a request for this in the past, if not I'll submit a request now. Quote Link to comment
mark@custom Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Any luck with that request to get opengl textures to view in the VW 2015 file viewer? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted January 22, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 22, 2015 I doubt anything would be added new in the current version, most feature request items come in the next version at the earliest. Quote Link to comment

Hi, it's 2019. Is this for real? No OpenGL option to see textures on VW Viewer? Quote Link to comment
