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 !

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

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?

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, ...

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?
It would be nice to be able to create wall styles. Revit and Architectural Desktop have had these for years.
Currently the wall command simply draws 2 lines in top view.
An example of a wall style would be a brick cavity wall complete with brick hatching. Another would be a timber framed wall with studs and separate linings for interior and exterior.
It would take the form of selecting t
I would love to see support to import STP or some other cad format since we now have spline support. At the moment I'm using MOI3d to convert to a 3d support, but being able to directly import would be awesome.
Export would be nice too, but not as high a priority for me.

Initial set of discussion categories is brief and simple, and we want to keep it this way.

Dear LWCAD users.
First of all, I hope you are all right and safe.
The special situation requires special prices.
All LWCAD prices will decrease significantly until the end of the current pandemic.
Also, users with LWCAD 2018 (without the free 2020 update) can now pre-order the upgrade to ver. 2020
The development of LWCAD continues as planned.
The free update to LWCAD 2018.5

Hello Victor,
First off thank you for everything you have done with LWCAD . Its kept me using Lightwave for years. I would have been done with it long ago if it wasn't for you.
That being said. Lightwave is done. 2018 version of Lightwave proved to be the biggest waste of my money. I have used it since the Toaster days, and now the product is decades behind.
1 day of using BLENDER 2.8 pr
