Why aren't the Viewer's Quick Preferences defined by it rather than the Quick Preferences I have defined for my Vw installation? My preference would be to have the opening screen something like this (with the 2D and 3D tools docked like the last image):

The palettes were docked rather than scattered and undocked like this. The default setting also needs to be icons and text. The 2D and 3D palletes were separate palletes so both the 2D and the 3D tools can be seen at the same time. Shaded quality equal to Sketchup would be even better. Glass could be transparent (if Sketchup can do it then surely Vw can). Shaded rendering had the option to turn edges on to provide better quality definition.

The unusable Rendering tab on the OIP was removed. In that state information on objects can still be seen on the OIP. The Viewer would be much more useable if:Īll the objects in the drawing were locked so they can't be inadvertently stretched or moved.

A more useful Help and a link to a movie showing how to use the Viewer is also needed. The Viewer needs to be refined so it is presents better to clients and is much more easily used by those who have little or no prior knowledge of Vectorworks.
