  • Wall Lines on Doors and Windows


    PVA - Admin

    A common question of Vectorworks users is how to remove the display of wall lines across Door objects in Top/Plan view so that the doors show as an opening.

    There are two common mistakes, the first of which is that you may not be in Top/Plan view. If you are in Top view, you will see the wall lines continue though the door no matter how you modify your visibility settings:

    The second (and more common) is that the Ceiling-Main class is enabled. This class controls the visibility of the wall lines that pass through window and door objects.

     

    With Ceiling-main off:

    My drawing does not have a Ceiling-main class to turn off. Wall lines are still drawn even though they are turned off in the Object Info Pallet. I'm in Top/Plan view.

     

    What else can you suggest?

     

     

    I'm running Vectorworks 2022 SP1.1 on Macintosh.

    I think you have a couple things going on.

     

    1.  you have lines under all the walls.

     

    2. the default door classes have been deleted.

     

    Try this:  

     

    1 Open a blank document place a door somewhere.  Watch the class list while you do it.  You will probably see Glazing-Clear appear.

    2 Draw a wall.  Drag the door into the wall.  More classes will appear.  Ceiling-Main, Sills.

    3 Copy that wall with the door and paste it into your drawing.  Those classes will come along for the ride.

    4 Select all the doors.  In the OIP go to Settings > 2D Visualization.  Make the Visibility Classes section look like this:

    Then delete all the lines :-).

    Made a post here but it seems that you can control the Wall lines / headers of doors in the plugin options by class, but for some reason the header doesn't fill in? Seems like this would be pretty necessary in RCPs? Is there a work around for this that doesn't require drawing rec over every door way?
