I just recently got LWCAD but it seems I've broken it. All of the curves are displaying as straight lines. See the attached screenshots for the error:
New LWCad User here...
I've created a fairly simple building from a floor plan and added some windows to it. But, the windows I created last week only show up as holes in the walls in LW. The ones I created yesterday show up in Modeler and LW though. I don't think I created them as instances last week, but maybe did? Is there anyway to tell? A simple way to convert them to polys if I did
No way to test it. Mac version even doesn't start - "The plugin c4d_lwcad_5.dylib has carshed" etc.

It would be awesome if LWCAD could somehow deal with .stp curves. Right now, to use CAD data in Lightwave it has to be converted to mesh and often we get errors in smoothing, flipping polys or geometry missing. Being able to use the nurbs curves would be a dream come true.
It would be great if LWCAD could feature a nice bend tool. The native lw bend gets bad results and is not easy to use.
Hello,
The "clone" panel in my lwcad 5.2 is empty. No commands. What is wrong?
In your website you say LWCAD is coming to all major 3D apps. Does that include Maya, or preferably in my case, Modo, at some point?
I am currently on LWCAD 4, but if I upgrade to LWCAD 5, will there be another purchase/upgrade to LWCAD for other host apps or is LWCAD 5 considered a "one license for all" ?
Hi
When you go to change the step height of any of the 4 stair tools in the numeric panel it won't work. The height adjustment line just disappears and the numeric value's won't change.
Steps
Create stairs using the line stair tool
Adjust the height of the stairs in the right viewport using the orange line
Now click n on the keyboard
Try adjusting the step height in the numeric pane
It was already the case with LWcad previous releases when snapping features:
LW cad actually sees hidden geometries (in active layer or background).
With V5 and following and the new selection system this problem becomes really unworkable around, eg:
ctrl click empty space on screen selects all geometry, even what is hidden; when working on an heavy layer/object this turns into a nightm
UVs are broken when using the offset tool on polygons.
It worked previously quite well in LWcad 4 with a nice linear interpolation, very usefull...
it needs a fix Asap !
thnks,
Romain
It would be really nice if LWCad had dimensioning capabilities much like Solidworks or Inventor. Create a model and then dimension it and save out a DWG or even just a PDF and be able to print it on a big plotter/printer. Yeah that would be cool.
Viktor please go here: http://forums.newtek.com/showthread.php?152975-LWCad-5-2-snap-move-question to check out an issue with move snap in 5.2. Everything you need is in that link. I like the clone feature of the new move snap but it just won't move geometry as effectively as 4.51. Please consider some adjustments to the tool. Thanks.
When you use the move snap tool with cloning, you can't adjust the height of the clone.
Steps
Create a box with the box tool
Us the move snap tool
Press "n" on the keyboard to open the numeric panel
Turn on cloning
Clone your object going down from the top viewport
Now go over to the Right viewport
Try clicking on the handle to make your clones go upwards or step

Hi Viktor ..
can you check please the H/P/B rotate buttons in the Jitter Tool ..
it seems they are mixed up?

How can I round all corners of a polygon? It is not shown in the video. In my case it seems only possible by using the Numeric field window?
It seems I am not able to use the mouse for more tools, like extrude length etc?
hi Viktor
test the forum

Downloaded the Lite version, but not sure what files/folders to install. There was nothing in the OSX folder...
I would like to see tools for LWCAD on Layout
It would be nice if had in the new LWCAD version curved walls and in the presets like doors and windows had the option to open and close
Just wanted to say Thank you for creating this forum as well as such an Amazing tool as LW Cad!

LWCad team congratulation form your amazing tool and for your new Max & C4D plugins....
I'm not sure if this has a turorial or video. But what are the steps and requirements to get nurb meshes in layout as nurbs? Does layout require a plugin?

It would be sweet if several of LWCads tools could do similar boolean functions as Hard ops plugin does for Belender. Maybe it could be a standalone seperate tool. Based on several of the modelling tools from lwcad?
It seems like at least several of similar functions are comparable. Maybe just needs more live style boolean tools? As well as more edge rounding tools. For any type of edges?

Hi,
It would be great to have a rope / chain tool with non-destructive workflow.
It should come with some preset models of ropes / chains, but as LWCad allows, create our own too.
For ropes, it could be interesting to be able to specify the number of strands and bundles, rotation, ...
Greetings,

Stairs can be created in LWCAD and so can stair rails, but it would be good to have balusters from the each of the stairs to the stair rails. Can this be done?
Hi,
Is there a way for the Round tool to behave like the Rounder tool from Lightwave when the "OGL poly" option is activated ?
It creates a liitle bevel on the rounded polygons, so that reflections look accurate when rendering.
Thx !
Hi All
I am trying to calculate the volume of a model and thought that AreaVolume would do that, but I get strange results.
For a sphere that is 100mm in diameter is gives me a result of 508819mm3 which is way off.
Am I doing something wrong?
