SvenJ Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Has anyone else found that after VW2022 SP2.1 exporting an MVR file results in an export that only contains fixtures and not any of the other modelling in the project? I have emailed VW support a few times about this but it seems to be getting ignored Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted June 12, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 12, 2022 What application are you using to open the exported MVR? Have you tried 2022 SP3? Quote Link to comment
SvenJ Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 I am using Capture 2022 to open the MVR. I tried in SP2.2 and SP3 and had no success. The same file exported from SP2.1 works as expected. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee jcogdell Posted June 22, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 22, 2022 Spotlight updated its MVR support to the new 1.2 DINspec with service pack 3, The main difference is that MVR will now use the newer GLB file format for geometry, by default. Its possible that Capture hasn't updated their MVR support to account for this. In sp 3 the MVR export dialogue has a new option to tell it to use the old 3DS file format for geometry, make sure this is checked and see if that fixes the problem 1 Quote Link to comment
Richard1 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 This may be due to a Vectorworks 2022 bug that is still present in SP3.1 The MVR exported by Vectorworks 2022 SP3.1 states that it is MVR 1.4, which only permits the legacy 3DS format. However it is using MVR 1.5 features, such as glTF/GLB for geometry. The version number needs to be updated so importers know what format(s) to expect. Quote Link to comment
