The last Vw version to offer a separate ‘Renderworks’ add-on package was Vw2016. In Vw2017 and newer, Renderworks was included with all licenses and hence it no longer shows up as a separate add-on in your license history. Post back if that is not what you were asking about.

Equipment Summary / Inventory Management filter
TomWhiteLight replied to Mickey's topic in Entertainment
"I just want to put a Key on my plot.." Of course but Vectorworks cannot guess how you want it to appear or how you want to filter it? "I don't want to edit or troubleshoot Vectorworks software anymore." I don't think anyone is asking you to do that. If you don't know how something works, just ask, we are all here to help. I don't know the ins and outs of the instrument summary tool, Personally I use the graphic legend tool to filter by class, it even filters by viewport. So this is possible In Graphic Legends, I am sorry that you don't know how to achieve this in the software, I am sure a brief call with us would get you up and running in no time. If you invest some time in learning these new tools you will really reap the benefits. "This key was a brand new one a mere minutes old, and when I edited it the program crashed." Ok so clearly there is a problem with your installation, the forum is not tech support, please reach out to them, the users on this forum cannot help you troubleshoot your installation. Tech support can then re-direct you to the training team who get you set up. -

macOS 14.4 Compatibility Issues with Vectorworks
Kurt M commented on JuanP's article in Tech Bulletins
Any word on when the update macOS or wks coming out. This really sucks. Spinning wheels, crashes freezing, can't save files, etc. Work around ? -
Yes, it's a trivial and useful application and I guess VWX can handle it. The printing itself could stay in an external program. Any program that can handle serial letters or similar can be used, but VWX should provide the relevant data.

Hello, I'm currently trying to model the power system in my theater. I'm not concerned with the power load, I just need to connect the fixtures to the breakouts. I want to be able to see where existing fixtures are plugged in and where there are empty stagepin dimmer outputs. Each of the breakouts have 4 dimming stagepin plus, all on one circuit, 1 hot stagepin and 2 hot Edison. Just trying to figure out the best way to place all the breakouts, number them, and connect them to the fixtures. I can go through and change the component names in the distributor to match the dimmer numbers, but it seems like I would have to create a new distributor object each time. I've also considered making the component names A,B,C,D,E stagepin, E Edison 1, and E Edison 2; Then the distributor object ID (easy to change), would read like [A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E= ND137]. The last question I have on this is if there is an easy way (once numbered appropriately) to connect all the fixtures to the distributors without having to go through and select power input/output for each one? The fixtures all have dimmer numbers put in so I feel like there should be a better way. Would appreciate any help/advice!

Hi all, The company I work for (https://www.candelacontrols.com/) is looking to bolster our CAD department. We are a Lighting Control Systems Integrator located in west Orlando. Drawing packages include aspects of wiring diagrams, mechanical assemblies & architectural floor plans/RCPs. Ideally this role would fit someone who falls under "designer" as there is always some problem solving that goes into these lighting control systems. But we are more than willing to train someone to fit the role. This is an on-site position. Please head over to our website I've linked above if this position is of interest to you to see more about the company & the kind of projects we do. If you click on the careers tab at the top you can see more about the position or other positions we are hiring for at the moment.

macOS 14.4 Compatibility Issues with Vectorworks
SJAllyn commented on JuanP's article in Tech Bulletins
30 mb is nothing, when we create PDFs, its usually well over 100mb, often 200mb. But it's 80 to 150 pages at 36 x 48. so it is big. We print directly using the publish function with no problem until Mac OS 14.4(1). Printing to plotters has always been straight forward and easy for us. And on 4 different plotters from 4 different makers. And we also print (scale to fit) to our laser printer Tabloid extra sized, and that works great too. Again until now. But this is clearly an Apple issue. As the same thing happens in Adobe Acrobat, Apple Text Edit, Apple Pages, and various other programs. -
I don't know how or if VWX can handle the printing, but I am sure many folks could use this.

Single Face Texture Tool still does not work
MGuilfoile replied to MGuilfoile's question in Troubleshooting
I believe the small VW file I uploaded to this forum exhibits the behavior. If so, that is where I would start. If not, I suppose I could contact Tech support, but I don't really have the time to troubleshoot this right now. Perhaps at a later date. Thank you, MGuilfoile -
Worksheet Function in Data Visualization
garrettohler replied to garrettohler's topic in General Discussion
@Tom W. Ah ok. The key thing I missed was that you need a second record to link to the original. That made it simple. Now it works great. Thanks! -
Thanks, this is my first try with AI Visualizer today. I'll test it again later.
-
Thank you. Why is that so hard? Why is it hidden? I got it to work by downloading instead of "updating" VW24 has been so awful I'm emailing my sales person and asking for a refund.
-
Maybe the Server is just down ? Recently again, from time to time I have large lags to access this Forum from Germany. Maybe more of VW Servers or even the AI Server or EU to US routings are overloaded ? BTW The AI works also well with german prompts.

Is this any help...?
-
I'm stuck in a doom loop. Open app, check update, open updater, close ap, Updater says I need to close ap. 🤦♂️ 24 sucks
-
This ... Yes Windows Where is it? I even tried searching for it, but all I get is the application. I swear in a previous version the updater app was in the start menu right under the main app.
-
I just want to put a Key on my plot.. I don't want to edit or troubleshoot Vectorworks software anymore. Honestly I've grown quit sick of it. Why is there a "Vendor" option in the filter, and no Vendor option anywhere else. No I don't want to add it. I don't want anything to do with a Vendor (wow how true is that) I really want there to be a "class" option in the filter so I can view only lights in that layer/class but that's not possible. I don't make key symbols. Every plot is too different. So every key is new to every file, and sometime each key is new to every viewport. This key was a brand new one a mere minutes old, and when I edited it the program crashed.
-
I always just open the Updater app from the Applications folder. I'm on a Mac - I don't know where it lives in Windows: wherever VW2024 lives.
-
Is there a way to update without opening the program? All the info I find you have to open the program, wait forever in 24 to fully launch, check for updates, then the updater makes your application close to update. When I did that the last time it kept telling me I had to close VW24. Well I did you pos... I looked on the start menu, in the program folder, and I can't find any link to an updater app Is there way to launch the updater without opening the application? This whole process seems stupid to me.. And I did look at the download on the portal, but it says V4 not 4.1, and I'm looking to get 4.1
-
But the prompt states that it will open in an older version first, then it claims it is an unrecognized or corrupt file. Also, why has renderworks disappeared from my previous licenses??

All my efforts to create an AI-generated image end up in an endless queue. Can someone tell me what I have to change?
