Hi.
I have two curves for an O letter, one for the outside and the other for the inside. I want to know if I can turn those curves into a NURBS flat surface with a hole. The Legacy Curves to Surface button doesn't do anything.
Is there a solution to devide lw cad curve into segmenth with a constant lenght? So each point should have the same distance towards the next one. Iam pretty sure there is an easy way to get this in lw-cad.
Version : LW CAD 2020.01
My target is to get a lw curve with a constant point distance for sending this one to Layout and create Spline Control from this.
Thanks for your support
The LWCAD Menu Bar Icon Configuration In [C4D R21 & R23] Is Collapsed - The LWCAD Menu Bar Icon Configuration In [C4D S22] Is Expanded. Is there an option to collapse or expand the icons within the menu bar according to the end-user's preference?

I am having and have always had a problem with the background layer snapping. As I am using the line tool to trace over some lines in the background to create nurbs patches it is not snapping, I have played with the setting in the snap panel but it seems to ignore the background.
Hi Viktor. So I am a beginner C4D user with a background in Architectural Design. I have installed other Plugins into C4D easily (I can see these updated under "Plugins 4D). But I am just not luck with LWCAD. Maybe its not working for me because I am trying to use a trial version of LWCAD and I have not bought the Licence yet?
Thanks for your assistance.
As the title says. Join is a very nice tool, but when I hide geometry and use it, LW crashes almost everytime with a critical error. (LW 2018.0.7, LWCAD 2020.1)
Hi,
How does the new update work with Shape Libs from older versions, I see all my Furniture etc. in the instance Tab, but cannot add them. I can select a Window or sometimes a door handle and I can then replace them all with a bookshelf, but thats not how it used to be.
How can I add furniture, deco, Columms etc as easy as stairs, fence, railing, roads, and roof?
What I am doing w

menu1 Create.cfg

After placing the LWCAD 2018.92 C4D Beta folder into the Cinema 4D R23 plugin folder and launching the application, it does not appear in the extensions menu.
I also tried placing the same folder via the preferences option (within the edit menu), but that yielded the same result.

Hi Viktor

Thks.
Carlos Caldeira.
I have a license for LWCAD 4, having upgraded it from my original purchase of LWCAD 2.5 or earlier. Is there an upgrade to the current version from v4 available for purchase?
Thank you!
I'm struggling to find an installation guide that correletes to the files I'm downloading. Not sure where to put my files.
Testing the new Road TR I ran into problems I ran into problems right away.
First create simple closed nurbs curve. (clockwise point clicks)
Next activate Road Tr. Set random width. Change lanes from 0 to 2. Note that the number of lanes is wrong. Also, the surface normal is facing down.
Close tool and activate Freeze Nurbs. Seems to work OK but looks coarse, so try adapti
Hi all,
I have a model with about 12 different buildings. They all use the same windows. They have the same size polygons onto which the windows should be applied. Is there a way to apply a window preset to multiple polygons at once?
Does anyone have a suggested workflow to get site contours into LW. I have tried to bring dxf file in with LWCAD but it seems to be a problem
I can't find road / lines and Crosswalks , but no roads tool. Only the two options under infrastructure.
What am i missing...help says it should be there but it isn't.
Any help would be appreciated. Its the same for Lightwave 2015.3 and 2018...
Thank you

The Shingles tool in LWCAD 2018.31 for LW (Windows 64bit 2019.5) doesn't appear to work like the videos show.
In the video, the shingles apply only to a roof object and they look correct. For me, unless I select the top roof polygons, shingles are applied to the ENTIRE object. They are also angled weird and have end caps placed wrong.
Is there a timeline set for the cad 2020 release date yet?
Hi.
I just bought LWCAD
I'm using LW 2015.3
I have an issue with the window tool. It seems to work properly except the extrusion does not fill the newly created hole in the walls. I have to do it my self once the window is in place
Any clue ?
Thanks

I have a question about some shapes lib. I am running into an issue where I don't see the items in the shapes lib panels. It see the folders and list the shapes but doesn't draw the orange wires or even draw them in modeler when trying to use them. Is it because they are in sub folders?
The only way to make it work is by taking them out of sub folders and placing them in the same folder abov
