  1. If you delete the 2d component you can rotate at will
  2. Looks like it's the floor texture that might be the culprit. Maybe try replacing it as a test.
  3. The Simple Beam calculator offers wood as a material (although a limited list) - but there is no way (that I know) to actually calculate using a simple rectangular section. It should simply take a page out of the Structural Member Settings for defining the profile shape It would also be nice if you could have it recognize a selected beam in the drawing as input.
  4. And don't forget access to BIMObject in the Furn/Fixtures Tool Palette
  5. I hate to say it but this would be useful ask of AI: Generate a low poly, or nurbs 3d model from a scale reference and few photographs of a fixture
  6. You can use the Clip tool to clip from a 2d shape, eg a rectangular chunk from a circle (or a Viewport Crop directly on the Sheet Layer) Holding OPT while using the same tool allows you to add a chunk to 2d objects. However it doesn't work with the VP Crop for some reason. It would be good if it did, so you could - so you could easily add to the VIewport Crop without the editing the Crop in the usual way.
  7. This setting will allow you to see objects outside the Crop You can also use the Clip tool to clip from the Crop directly on the Sheet Layer *Enhancment request - Opp(Alt) Clip to Clip to a Viewport Crop
  8. It's going to be tricky with those 3d polygons from Sketchup. Faster would be to remodel it, it's pretty straightforward. Quick and easy is to create a Section Viewport of one half -275mm and mirror it (I did this in the attached of all the Design Layers except the Logo which remains intact) Set design no thrust -550mm.vwx
  9. Can you let us know what the solution is @jblock please, for those who experience a similar issue?
  10. If you're both running Mac you could try switching to Apple's AFP protocol.
  11. Here when you're creating the Section Viewport And here in the OIP
  12. Project Sharing is good, however in many cases to keep shared files up to date the checkout/release, etc is more than needed. I'd like a Lite version that generally allows only one person to work on a file at at time or something like this: a VW file is stored in a shared folder on eg. Dropbox. User A opens the file User B opens the file and is met with the message 'this file is already opened by User A. Continue y/n?' On saving the file the same prompt it given.
  13. This sounds like a job for the Title Block You can add data on a per Sheet Edit the Title Block Style Sheet Data>Manage Sheet Data>Add a new field Title Block>Edit Title Block Layout place some text and in the OIP convert it to Data Type>Link Value, Parameter>Sheet Data, your newly created field. Then via the Title Block manager you can select which Sheet Layers you want to display this text and edit it to suit. However, having the Title Block Manager speak to the Notes Database to enter that text would be the business.
  14. AEC>Machine Design>3d Properties AEC>Machine Design>Centroid Model>Engineering Properties Model>Volumetric Properties For a part being designed using a particular Material the OIP should update to reflect the engineering properties Multiple selected objects with various Materials applied should also show the total mass in the OIP
