Same surface, but it looks like a patchwork of dieffrent surfaces.

Is it possible to do something about this?

So I went through all the lightwave cad 5 videos a few times and I still can't figure out how to make a simple patch. Lofting was easy enough but I feel it doesn't give quite the amount of control I need. In one video I see a grid of splines already made ( I guess with the line tool?) and then I see patches begin drawn easily. . . I don't understand how the splines were connected in order to make

I draw out points as I used to do but all I get is a box or polygonal shape, no arc. If I add an object and then use Arc but turn on slice or add or intersect, it then becomes an Arc.
What am I doing wrong?

I would like to know how to round corners on a 2D box for example?
Rounder works great on 3D. But if you draw a 2D box, plane, anything with sharp angle corners. Is there a way to pick that corner and round it , individually or globally.

Thanks

LWCAD 5.5 ROAD LINE crashes on 2015.3 and 2018
not when using straight line tool, but when set to spline or curve mode.
Works with a straight line option.
Just started playing with cross walk and it crashed also when playing with sizing parameters.
Tried unistalling from 2015 and 2018. Reboot, then installed 2018 only..still crashed.
Tried installing 2015..same still crashes.

I installed all the plug-ins manually because installer failed and told me to. Now I am trying to load in the branches but does not seem to load branches

This thread is for public discussion about current beta phase of LWCAD 5.5 LightWave.
It will be updated during beta phase with more information!

Title pretty much tells it all. I need to use the 4.51 Snap Move to get projection snaps. See video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1crf5CeOTLM

Hi,

Is there some compatibility issues between presets of LWCAD 3.x, 4.x and 5.x ?

I have some older files/presets for Shingles and Fences from LWCAD 4.x (or it's 3.x can't say for sure) and i copied all the *.s3d files inside LWCAD presets folders with their corresponding folder with rest of presets but LWCAD don't see any of them, it lists just default presets and nothing else.

Hi I would like to know how the curved roofs where done on the bulding at the start of the lwcad.com website cant find it on my laptop but it shows on my kindle it is on a page advertising the lwacd bundle I am curious if this was done in lightwave

Just wanted to say thanks for the bug fixes and brilliant new tools!
5.5 is fantastic!

Great product and support!

Having just transferred my licenses to the new website (really nice, by the way), I downloaded the 5.25 version from the emailed link.

Having clicked I Agree, I get next the panel that says Quick Install Settings:, but there is nothing in the panel - the only thing I can click is the Back button.

This is on Windows 10 64bit.

I already have LWCAD 5 installed but can I also install LWCAD5.25 beta without uninstalling version 5?

This is on LightWave 15.3 64 bit

Hi All ,

Is there any Chance to get a working version of LWCAD 4.5

thanks in advantage and HAPPY SUNDAY

Maybe I'm not getting how this works, and I'll admit I miss the simplicity and reliability of the old Vector Clone tool.

The thing I have the biggest problem with is cloning an object in the scene, but finding that I cannot adjust what face and point on the object I need to have aligned with the line. The fixed point where an object is cloned to the line is the centre of the bottom edge of t

Often I get DWG plans from architects which have a lot of overlapping lines, meaning lines that sit on top of each other but don't share the end points, one is longer than the other. Curvs to surf command gets confused by this and it doesn't produce a good polygonal model. How to deal with this issue prior to curvs to surf command. I can fix this individualy with trim or sometimes the bool comman

Hello guys!

Because some people are getting a wrong idea that we are drifting from LightWave,
I have decided that it is right time to inform you about our current status and our long term plans with LWCAD specially LigthWave version.

LWCAD LITE(Max,C4d) versus LWCAD (LightWave).
As you have noticed we are heavily updating LWCAD Lite version while LW version seems to be dormant. This

I can't seem to find a rail clone tool in LWCAD 5.2. There is a tool to clone an item when you draw a curve but I want to clone an item on the existing curve which sits in the background.

Viktor, was just curious as to whether you are thinking about the possibility of the Library supporting UVs for its stored shapes.

I guess I'm trying to get my head around how the Library can be leveraged e.g. in a game asset production workflow, where the alternative might be creating an ordinary on-disk library of pre-built meshes that are already UV unwrapped and then with the possibility

Perhaps someone can help me with the pipe tool. I am not new to LWCAD, but never really used the pipe tool before.
I cannot get the pipe tool to draw around corners?
Example, take a cube, start drawing on one plane or face then click on the next plane or face, in this case 90 degrees to the original. I will not turn. Always stays on the original plane. Tried resetting the tool, reinstalling
