[Graphic issue with closed kerb]

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

 

[Parking Layout Tool]

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

[Snapping to points in cropped viewports]

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.

[Curb races]

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

[Type Name for IFC]

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

[Roof boundaries (clipped eaves/ verge)]

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

[Hedgerow area measurement]

Thanks both, and especially for the code.

 

Just out of interest, what area is the =AREA returning?

 

Laura

[Hedgerow area measurement]

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

 

Thanks

[Hedgerow area measurement]

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

[Hedgerow area measurement]

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?

[Clip Cube - Layer Selection]

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

 

[VW2025 Activate layer]

Yes thanks, this works for me too

[IFC Floor information]

I can get the IFC Floor name correctly in the mapping tab of the IFC export but does anyone know how to get the floor description, floor elevation and floor height?

 

Thanks

On second thoughts I don't think I have Keyboard Maestro, but maybe a conflict with something else?

[VW2025 Activate layer]

And tried complete reinstall without importing any user data/workspaces and still not working

[VW2025 Activate layer]

Repair unfortunately hasn't worked

[Detach IFC]

Yes that worked perfectly!  Also solves a few other problems with IFC data from survey showing up in my exports.

 

Thanks

[COBie Type Category]

I don't seem to have that option, maybe because I only have the free version of Solibri.  

 

Thanks

 

Laura

[COBie Type Category]

I hadn't, so thanks for the suggestion.  Do you know where I'd see the COBie category in Solibri so I can check it without having to send to anyone else?

 

Thanks

 

Laura

[Detach IFC]

I'll give it a try, but a bit scared of the data manager!

[COBie Type Category]

I have a file where I have entered all of the Uniclass 2015 classification, so if I pull up the COBie Type worksheet the Category is filled in using that info.  However apparently when I export an IFC the COBie category is not included.  I can't work out where to input that information so that it ends up in the IFC file.  Can anyone help?

 

Thanks

Thanks Pat, I'll give that a try tomorrow

 

[VW2025 Activate layer]

Just opened a new file and tried, still not working, maybe something wrong with my installation.

Activate layer (right click) doesn't seem to be working in VW2025
