I've been able to upgrade now. LWCAD is installed and working.

Thanks for the kind replies and pointers. Tonight we can all sleep soundly.

I have had trouble accessing the LWCAD site in the past too. For me it turned out that my IP address was blocked so I had to call my internet service provider to get a new one. Not really sure what caused it.

Solved here, but it might help others going through some similar pains. Or for the next upgrade, who knows. Thanks Nicolas Jordan.

Thank you @Prometheus! I thought of at least six projects I wanted to make with this software and decided to get it. That's a fantastic discount and I'm taking full advantage of it.

That's a nice offer.. too bad I'm not on LW2020 though.

No I'm pretty sure LW 2020 will not required to run LWCAD 2020 since that would limit sales to only those who have upgraded.

Minimum requirements for LWCAD 5.x -2018.x:

Windows with installed LightWave 9.6 64-bit or higher.

Mac OSX with installed LightWave 10 64-bit or higher.

I would assume this will likely be no different for LWCAD 2020.

I specifically asked Viktor in email whether LWCAD2020 would be compatible with LW2019, and he affirmed it would be compatible.

Cool, Thank You for info!

Perhaps a silly question... I've looked and seen things like lists of NEW features, but can anyone please tell me in a sentence or two what LWCAD is for? What will it let me do that I can't do with LW alone?

(I don't do architectural stuff or characters, mainly hard body models)

Cheers,
Nick

Just a few examples of Hard Surface modeling and other stuff using presets within LWCad.

Thanks John!

So if I get LW Cad I'm allowed to do Booleans?!

There is a trail version you can try out before you commit to buy.

**JohnMarchant** · 06-16-2020, 12:16 PM

Indeed you can Starbase, to be fair the presets that come with LWCad are fairly basic but you can add what you like. The preset system in LWCad needs a good overhaul and can be so much better, but it is pretty good already. Adrian in the videos already has a free asset pack for the presets system, mostly buildings, check out some of his other videos. Indeed as Nick said try the trial version. I've used LWCad since version 1 and its the main reason i still use modeler in LW, well that and 3d Powers.

Also check out some of Viktors videos, they give you a good idea of what LWCad can do.
