Bas Vellekoop Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Only 35 night's till the first of September... Exciting! (please don't release it on the 30st ) Quote Link to comment
Gilbert Osmond Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) 3D Point cloud import is exciting. I imagine the cost on reasonably-capable 3D laser scanners will drop over the next 5 to 15 years with improvements in technology. I look forward to the last time I need to use a tape measure & LDM for gathering building dimensions and site model data. Edited July 30, 2015 by Gilbert Osmond Quote Link to comment
Tom Klaber Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Another question about project sharing: Is there any issues with cross platforms? Can both a PC and Mac share at the same time? Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment

Can both a PC and Mac share at the same time? No issue, the same project files will allow both Mac and Windows clients to work with them concurrently. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted August 6, 2015 Author Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 6, 2015 Minor update: 2016's Point Cloud import will accept the following file formats: .LAS .PTS .E57 .XYZ Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Point cloud Another thread asked about reducing complexity of imported poly models. If 3d loci were snapped onto several points (10 points? 100?) of a 3d object, say a diesel engine, would VWX be able to generate a surface(s) from those loci to create a simple massing model? -B Quote Link to comment
jc4d Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hi all, I was watching the Marionette video and I noticed that in order to see the changes you have to "Run Marionette script", is this true or this will be automatic at the end? Cheers, Juan Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted August 10, 2015 Author Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 10, 2015 Initially they were laid out as that flowchart UI you saw earlier and you had to right click on any one of the nodes and manually use the Run Marionette Script command on them to get the effect/geometry that the script created. But now there is a wrapped mode where you can double click on a Marionette object you created (if it was something like a lamp, door or other parametric object) and then see the nodes inside the guts of it in a container editing mode, then changing the nodes and connections and leaving that editing mode would run the script and alter the object. However since that was also a bit cumbersome on its own, now by default the nodes that ask the suer for specific values or data input will export their fields in the OIP when that Marionette object is selected so you can edit it more like you can a regular Door or Window plugin object, where the height, width etc. can all be altered directly from the OIP. Then you only need to enter and alter the nodes/connections if you wanted to alter how the object behaved or responded to input, rather than to change any values at all. Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 JimW- The updated Marionette <---> OIP behavior you describe sounds much better: So when the Marionette OIP values are changed, is there an 'Update' button that you have to hit to commit the changes, or are the changes reflected automatically?

rDesign Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Point Clouds: will it be possible to define the vertical & horizontal display range for imported Point Clouds? EDIT: Never mind, I watched the Youtube preview video again and answered my own question: Clip Cube functionality for Point Clouds is already there.

Mark Flamer Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 A Marionette object will update whenever you change any of it's OIP parameters, move/rotate it, adjust it's control geometry using the reshape tool, etc. Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Mark- that's good, thanks for the reply. I'm looking forward to September & Vw2016. Quote Link to comment
Chris Gentry Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Has the migration workflow from version to version been given some attention or is it still going to be a manual process? Quote Link to comment

Tom Klaber Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 About time for another leak.... Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 ^ At least leak when the first leaks will arrive ... Does someone remember when exactly the VW 2015 video was released ? Next week I have no time for VW 2016 News as there is Eurobike with enough fat bike news ... Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted August 19, 2015 Author Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hey now, I already leaked some juicy bits back in April! No peeking! Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Well - several weeks ago NV emailed me a limited-time Vw2015 / 2016 upgrade offer that expires on Sept. 15th, so.... Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted August 20, 2015 Author Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 20, 2015 Well - several weeks ago NV emailed me a limited-time Vw2015 / 2016 upgrade offer that expires on Sept. 15th, so.... Hey now, everyone knows that math and deductive reasoning are both forms of CHEATING! Has any special attention been paid to Standard Naming and Auto Classing? Of that I am truly unsure, this year there are... MANY features and changes. It isn't the most tasks ("tasks" in the software engineering sense meaning enhancements, bug fixes or completely new features) in a version that we have ever had, but possibly the most large tasks that we've had in a very long time. Unfortunately with a list that large I cant keep it in memory constantly, as my work has been on the 4 large features that peeks were released for earlier this year as well as the other unreleased large features, which get more video and demo attention during release time than either less flashy or less wide-ranging features do.
