digitalcarbon Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 can seem to get my Attributes Pallet to dock Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Ooooops ! Do I really need to create a new 3D Con Driver Setting for VW 2018 ??? I think it currently runs with the VW 2017 settings automatically, as I have mirrored all Axes. Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) For the docking, it seems you try to dock Attributes AND Snapping palettes together WHILE both are docked to each other. Can you try to undock and separate both before you try to dock your Attribute Palette to the left border ? Edited September 13, 2017 by zoomer Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 they seem to be stuck together.. Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 If there is no way to pull them apart, can you set the palette options in Menu Bar, to not allow floating palettes to dock to each other temporarily ? Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 All my preferences seem to be set up the same... think there was a "do you want to import preferences from previous version?" question during install... can't remember if this is new, but thanks for doing this... example below "Object Highlighting - Pre-selection Inactive Layer" i aways set to green and it was so Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) 1st Issue - 3D Connexion I meant the 3DConnexion Driver Settings. (Not the Workspace) So far I did not create a new VW 2018 App entry. Like with Modo or C4D , where all Versions run with the one single App Setting. 2nd Issue - Docking The Setting I meant is in Menu > Window > Palette Options > uncheck "Floating Palettes can doch to each other" To be able to pull both apart before to try to dock to borders..

digitalcarbon Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 also it seems to remember your last settings as to the screen layout... if you have it set up with many screens you can turn it off to show only the main screen then turn back on the multi screens that you had before....good job Quote Link to comment

zoomer Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I think I ran into this when customizing my VW 2017 workspace. Do not know how much time I spend until I realized that and found a solution back then ... Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 now the big question....do i Batch Convert all my stuff & go to work? or play it safe and stick with 2017 until my projects are done (2 months from now) Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I did batch convert my old Workgroup Folder Content. I think the only problem is that you don't have real (large) Preview options in Resource Manager until you manually open-save-close each converted File again ? (At least I had to do it when VW 2017 came out) Currently I see large Preview of these in VW 2018 but Plan View only. Otherwise, converting Projects to VW 2018 and work from there - or not - is more a question of how stable VW 2018 SP 0-1 are. Yes, you should never change the App Version for running Projects. But for me that would mean in some cases that I had to still use VW 2014 Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 VW2018 Split Screen & a 1.14GB file very impressed! note: this video was not edited because i wanted to show the delay in real time... one spot i did clip out a delay but that was because of user error...I'm very impressed with VW2018 ability to handle this much information...nice job! 3 Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 so i batch converted everything....now going to try to go to work Total time = 3.25 hrs (download, test a bit & batch convert) Quote Link to comment

Excellent modelling as always DC. Compulsive viewing is something I would never have thought of for a Vectorworks forum, but your posts definitely are! On the screenshot - I see the smaller pipe entering the larger near its base (elevationally). In fact it is drawn slightly within the wall of the larger pipe and terminates on the centreline of the larger pipe. Yet the OpenGL pane looks slightly different - the smaller pipe appears slightly elevated and my eye says it should just about be seen within the larger pipe. Just an observation...anyone else 'see' this? Quote Link to comment
