I will talk to my man at LightWorks for a clarification.

LW User Site has posted Sherwin Williams Paints LWAs to the site. These, like the Benjamin Moore LWAs, don't work with ArchiCAD either.
Requirements:
To use this archive your application must support LWA-Enabled: Base functionality.

But we get Thanksgiving twice.

And a third thanksgiving if you actually count being grateful for not being American these days. [joke]
We'll be back to envying them soon enough, I am sure, but why does their dollar have to be shrinking when I get my first big USA public art contract [thanks to ArchiCAD's quick design/modeling - from mere neural sprite to animated presentation in twelve hours]?

I was surprised to learn that a Canadian actually developed the breed of turkey that actually has meat on it. Used to be like goose - mostly grease.

I am very interst of lightworks materials. I tried to get into the website to download the Lw, but somehow all of the lightwork website that I get in is not able to use. Is http://www.lightworks-user.com/downloads.php correct?

That's the place all right.

You must register and login.

Just tested - all download fine.

The AEC materials to start with.

See other postings for the proper place to put them.

Are you using ArchiCAD 9, yet?

Your signature says not.

I need to double check, because last night I tried so many times. The website cannot run at all. But It looks find this morning. :?:

I just start to play around with the ArchiCAD 9.0. I'll upgrade my signature soon. :lol:

I've been plying the manuals and can't seem to find anything on where the downloaded .LWA shaders should be placed.

I've tried "Add-Ons/Visualization/smdata/archives" and "ArchiCAD Library 9" without success.

Anybody know where these files should live?

Thanks!
