QuickTime VR Object Export

When the Renderworks product is installed, the QuickTime® Virtual Reality object option is added to the list of export file choices. This command creates a QuickTime VR object file of the selected object, which can then be opened in QuickTime. Movie resolution is fixed and does not depend on the size of the window in the Vectorworks file; the current selection determines the zoom and center for the movie, set so that the selected object is entirely visible and centered.

To obtain more control over the zoom and view center, create an “invisible” 3D object with no fill or pen style. Select the object before exporting the movie.

QuickTime must be installed to view or create QuickTime movies; it is a separate program. QuickTime includes a viewer for opening several different file types.

To export an object as a QuickTime VR object:

1. Render the drawing with a Renderworks rendering mode, which is also used for the movie.

Due to a limitation, Renderworks backgrounds cannot be exported.

2. Select the object to export.

3. Select File > Export > Export QuickTime VR Object.

The QTVR Object Options dialog box opens.

4. Select the number of frames and spin options for creating the VR object file, and then click OK.

Click to show/hide the parameters.

5. Specify the .mov file name and location, and click Save to generate the QuickTime movie.
