I have read all of the Knowledgebase discussions, spoken with tech support (still waiting for a reply), and practiced, experimented, etc. with getting walls to fit neatly to a sloped roof command. I…Continue

To all of you PC users who have upgraded to Windows 7, are any of you experiencing any problems or errors using VW with it? More specifically, is anyone using VW 2010 and Windows 7? I have a brand…Continue

Lee Calisti replied to Matthew Miles's discussion 'Drawing Elevations'

Matthew, you got good advice from these others, they beat me to the punch. Don't feel bad for using VW as a digital drawing board for now. It's more efficient than hand drafting and sometimes, it's quicker for me to just draw some…

Don, hey thanks. I don't need a laptop for day to day work or renderings. I just need it because I often find myself working out of my office somewhere, coffee shop, on campus where I teach part-time, or a client's house/office. My…

Don Marquardt replied to Lee Calisti's discussion 'VW on a PC laptop'

Lee, depending on the scale of work you do and the likely size of the files, a regular laptop might work ok. I used an Entertainment HP Pavilion DV600 for a couple of years just fine (suburban residential homes, remodeling, additions and urban…

VW on a PC laptop

Does anyone have any advice for what system and hardware requirements work well for VW 2012 or even VW 2011?I am thinking about purchasing a new laptop, but I can't necessarily buy the top of the line. Any suggestions for processor type/speed, RAM, video card?I've checked past discussions and the VW K-Base, but no answers yet.Thanks.See More

Lee Calisti replied to Huw Davies's discussion 'VW2008 & Windows 7'

I am running VW 2011 on Windows 7-64 bit. After fooling with it for a year, I finally got it tweaked to work ok, but I don't find it very fast for the power I have in my computer. I also have a 24" monitor where I changed…

Lee Calisti replied to Lee Calisti's discussion 'Screen bounce'

OK, no response so far. Let me add what else I have done in this regards. It seems related to the problem of using a monitor in its native resolution. The text size is way too small. So I changed it to 125% to see it without a telescope. That seems…

Screen bounce

Has anyone had a problem with their screen bouncing in VW? When I have more than one file open and toggle between the two from the pull down menu, the screen will bounce vertically a few times then stop. It is terribly annoying. This bounce does not happen in any other application. I have had my computer company recently replace the hard drive, video card, mother board and RAM in an effort to fix this with no success. I also updated the video card driver recently too. This bounce occurred in…See More

Lee Calisti replied to Lee Calisti's discussion 'Windows 7'

I have an NVIDIA Quadro FX 580 with the latest driver that I downloaded. Are there any VW or NM experts that can comment on whether my graphics card is supported? I also have occasional problems outside of VW that the computer manufacturer's…

Conrad Preen replied to Lee Calisti's discussion 'Windows 7'

A customer of mine in Greece also had trouble with Windows 7. Extremely slow redraws - it seems the graphics card he was using was not supported. When he downgraded the system to XP everything was fine.

Lee Calisti replied to Lee Calisti's discussion 'Windows 7'

Thanks Grant I still need to try Juan's idea of installing VW in the 64 bit Program Files folder and see it that helps. Otherwise what does everybody think of going back to Windows XP until NM/VW or Windows 7 works out their bugs? I find…

Grant van Zevern replied to Lee Calisti's discussion 'Windows 7'

Couple of things to be aware of: Buying more ram will not speed up VW past a certain point. 3 gigs of ram is all that the program can address really. That's because of the limits of 32 bit processing. Having more will not do anything. Until the…
