Speckle Integration

[elepp]

Hi guys,

 

it would be great if you would all vote for an integration for Vectorworks with Speckle. Luckly this time the speckle developers are creating the plugin. Please go all to the following link: https://speckle.community/t/help-us-decide-which-connectors-to-develop-next/2296

 

Speckle is a great open source tool, that can connect multiple platforms with each other. We could have a nice integration between Rhino and Vectorworks or between Revit and Vectorworks, or between Vectorworks and Excel. And all without reyling on IFC. The possibilities are amazing with this tool. If you are curious about it please check out there Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/SpeckleSystems

 

Regards!

Same here. Seems to work well. 

Think I'm right in saying it supports colour but not textures.

I somehow just miss all my grouped objects.

 

As I have none of the mainstream Apps with newest Connector support, I can't really tell what would work with Materials and Textures. Not sure what would be possible between e.g. Revit, Rhino and Archicad. As Speckle lately released a direct RVT upload, we could try to load that back to VW. But I do not have useful RVT files.

 

A problem with Blender is, as soon as you assign Textures, it will forget the diffuse color it had before. So my Blender models usually look more like gypsum render in Speckle Viewer.

 

At least i have two Speckle supported Apps now. So finally real collaboration testing is possible. Looking forward to do it in opposite direction, from 3D to CAD .....
