  1. Good Day,

     

    1) When creating a section viewport of a DLVP the objects not inside a symbol do not 'cut' and render with the selected 2D attributes.

    See the attached VW file and PDF.

    2) When making changes to the layer with the objects, the changes are not reflected when updating the section VP unless you toggle on and off layers.

  2. Good Day,

    Below is a link to a VW file with a very detailed site model for a townhouse project. All the other information has been stripped out and this file just contains the site DTM. VW File

    Several stake objects, highlighted in yellow, are reporting 0m when in fact the site DTM is not 0m. When they are moved to other areas they report the correct elevations. The phenomenon happens in a localized area. Any ideas to what is causing this behaviour in this file?

    Any input is appreciated.

    Cheers

  3. Yes it is drawn manually , its fairly quick because we select the wall with the windows in plan, change to a front view and convert to lines, it renders the 2D front version. We then dimension it up.

    We have also done it in the past were the windows are in plan and a VP is created on the sheet for hidden line renderings of the front view, all notes are then on the sheet in annotations. This works well if you think there are changes to the window design.

  5. I have found a hybrid system works well. But it really depends on your work flow. I have attached an example of how we do our schedule. The attached example was for a townhouse project, similar ones for apartments.

    The file titled "Window/Door Schedule v2015.zip.vwx" is a zip archive, just delete the .vwx from the end then unpack the file. The .vwx file is approx. 5.8mb.

    Don't know why, but you can't upload compressed files with the file manager, this was my work around.
