Kaare Baekgaard Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Exported image to the right - versus the on-screen rendering to the left. something is wrong with exported renderings in VW 2016 on an iMac. But if the same geometry is placed in a viewport and rendered, it looks normal. Edited September 17, 2015 by Kaare Baekgaard Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 17, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 17, 2015 Could you post that example file please? I am unable to replicate that behavior here. Quote Link to comment
Kaare Baekgaard Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) Hi Jim Here is the file - note, that it was originally created in VW 2015: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxL3Oyph55RRU0VmcEFSYU01MWM/view?usp=sharing Here is the data on my Mac: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxL3Oyph55RROHk5OXJlamZONkU/view?usp=sharing Thanks Edited September 18, 2015 by Kaare Baekgaard Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 18, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 18, 2015 Get that one directly to support and have them take a closer look please, it may be conversion or file specific but they'll have to test: http://www.vectorworks.net/international/ Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Dave Donley Posted September 18, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 18, 2015 Hello Kaare: Thanks for the bug file. This seems to be happening only when Unified View is turned off. If Unified View is turned on the exported image matches the design layer correctly. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment
Kaare Baekgaard Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Thanks, I'll turn it on until further notice Quote Link to comment
Kaare Baekgaard Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hi Jim This was not fixed in SP1 – and I just realized that I cannot batch render projects with individual layer lighting settings. This is a rather serious setback in my workflow, so I ask, that fixing it gets higher priority. Quote Link to comment
Kaare Baekgaard Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 This still a huuuge problem for me. ... but I suspect not so much for architects, since it has not been addressed in two updates. So I need to push here for a fix in SP3. Not being able to render layers separately with different lighting settings is not a flaw – it is something for which I would be fully justified to use a much stronger word. Please get it done!

Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted March 18, 2016 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 18, 2016 Did your tech support reps file any of this as a bug? If so, if they can send me the JIRA ID I can look it up and push it. Quote Link to comment
Kaare Baekgaard Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 But you are my tech support rep, Jim I do not know any other way to report it. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted March 18, 2016 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 18, 2016 Get that one directly to support and have them take a closer look please, it may be conversion or file specific but they'll have to test: http://www.vectorworks.net/international/ Who did you end up contacting after my previous post above? All licenses have a tech support department assigned to them, I have direct access to the US, some of Canada and some of the UK but many of the other distributors have altered versions of the software than the ones I can lay my hands on and we have to channel support questions through them. If you bought the standard english version from us directly, then you can go through the regular Tech Support channels, but currently they don't take cases directly from the board yet, I refer people directly when need be. For most questions or bugs they can go right through me or to engineering, but in some cases I have to push the case through the proper channels to get a bug filed correctly on it.

Kaare Baekgaard Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) Well, I use the standard english version, but all versions must be flawed. I have reported this problem –here – shortly after the first release of VW2016. I have re-reported it after each new update. What more do you want me to do? Now I am looking at SP3 and the issue has not been fixed here either. Edited October 8, 2016 by Kaare Baekgaard Quote Link to comment
