I've just tried deleting a vertex of the kerb - same result, the modifier immediately reverts to default Laura

I have a drawing with an existing kerb where I had carefully set all the points on the nosing/face modifier to follow surveyed carriageway levels. I then needed to split it to make alterations. On splitting it I found that the nosing/face modifier reverted to the top of kerb level and will have to redo the whole thing. Seems like a bug, would it be possible to fix it? Laura

My understanding is that excavations, which are almost inevitable in a landscape project, have by far the highest carbon impact so perhaps cut and fill would need to be worked in. I think choice of materials in the landscape is almost inconsequential compared to that. Laura

On further investigation it does work in final quality render mode but not in shaded, even if textures are switched on. I was hoping to render a 3D poly circle and make it into a symbol, I do have basic 3D model grasses but with edges rendered they look a bit heavy. Thanks Laura

Same issue here

Yes thanks, just tried that out, I'll try and remember. Would be nice if it didn't happen! Laura

When drawing a kerb in corner vertex mode I keep getting random bezier points every now and again. Can be converted back when complete but is a bit annoying. Laura

Currently, as far as I can see, a kerb has to be inserted along the front/face edge. This is very inconvenient because surveys will usually have the top of kerb level at the back of the kerb and the bottom level at the front/face edge. That means that on a site model generated from a survey the kerb will place itself with its top along the bottom level and then has to be manually adjusted. Laura

Could we have a checkbox for curb/kerb units to follow the slope instead of stepping, a bit like the fence tool, the current configuration isn't realistic for most situations Laura

Thanks for that, I have tried rasterising the pdf so will see if that comes through better. I've updated my signature, it was very old! Laura

I've had a number of people saying that pdfs I send aren't displaying properly. They display fine for me in Adobe Acrobat or Preview (I am on Mac OS 15.4.1). Any tips on exporting from VW to avoid this issue? Screen grabs that i have been sent and my own below Thanks Laura

I have an issue with curbs/kerbs in plan where the 'simple' view is showing random areas of individual units, sometimes of the wrong type. I've had a look through the settings and can't work out where I'm going wrong, I know I could work with just extrudes but would prefer to see the units in 3D. File attached with two examples.

When I have a closed run of kerb I get graphic issues in the area where it closes, see below with very simple kerb. Looks fine in 3D

This is still an issue/bug, any chance of a fix?

Have just had trouble with a couple of cropped viewports (top/plan view, external VW reference) where I coudln't snap to points on the objects contained, only to the crop poly. On removing hte crop they behave as expected. Think it may be a bug.

Is there a way to switch off the kerb races so that they aren't seen in plan? I've tried putting the extrude into a class that is switched off to no avail. When I ask it to draw the 'simple' kerb in 2D I get the full width of kerb and race. Ideally I'd like the races to be there in 3D but at the moment I'm having to use the workaround of deleting them altogether. Thanks

Now fixed in update 2

I am working on a project where I need to export type names to IFC. VW 2025 seems very inconsistent in the field where these should be entered to export correctly: Symbols - entered in the 'name' field in the IFC type tab Hardscapes and Landscape Areas - returns the style name Fences - returns the style name For the following object I haven't been able to find where to enter the type name: Walls Stairs Doors (may be by style name?) Is anyone able to help with these last 3? Thanks Laura

Any plans in the roadmap to make this work? Would be nice to be able to offset components at the edges in roof faces.

Thanks both, and especially for the code. Just out of interest, what area is the =AREA returning? Laura

= Area, I have lots of other object types that need to return an area in the same worksheet Thanks Laura

Hi Katerina, I'm using v2025. The dark green shape below is a hedgerow and the light green I converted to a polyline, so they should have exactly the same area, but for some reason the hedgerow is giving an area value of 22 sq m. The area for the hedge does display correctly in the object info palette. Thanks Laura

I have just had the areas of hedgerows return incorrectly (too high). When I converted to polygons I got the correct figure. Any ideas what is being returned? Maybe the surface area of the hedge? Laura

This would be really useful, for instance to remove part of the roof over a loft space without removing the furniture within it.

Yes thanks, this works for me too
