If all that's required is some holes in the NURBS surface, the Project tool is the right tool for the job. Kevin

Interesting. I've seen numbers like that too. Kevin

I have no idea how to file it as a bug since it's completely random..... Kevin

Is anyone else having issues with Callout text sizes randomly changing in Annotations on Sheet Layers? It usually scales to some huge font size, taking over the page. At first I thought it was only callouts brought forward from older versions but now it seems to randomly happen to any callout. Kevin

Hello, I would like the Generate 2D from 3D command for automatically generating the 2D portion of a hybrid symbol to have the option to ignore nested Hybrid Symbols. Since these nested Hybrid Symbols already have 2d geometry, it shouldn't always be replaced by generated material. Kevin

Very useful tutorial! I tried various ways to get the number of points to match myself, but I didn't know this one. Your video also reminded me I could use the Rebuild NURBS command to get the number of points to match..... Kevin

It's the Create Solid checkbox that creates a solid object, not the Closed checkbox. Your curves also need to be going in the same direction. Kevin

Are you able to share the file from your example? Mark Doubleday's video on schematic views may be helpful to you - Kevin

When you lofted the two curves, was the Create Solid checkbox active? If not, it will solve your issues. Kevin

It looks like part of your object (a symbol within a symbol) was not designed to be rotated in 3d. The plan view of one of the elements is out of sync with its 3d view. Note that all of the various 2d views within a symbol are user generated. If it's a stage lighting setup there are specific methods to present instruments hung on booms. Kevin

Updating from Mac OS 14.4.1 to Mac OS 14.5 solved the issue. Kevin

Solved here too. The tool problem and the wall problem. Updating my Mac to 14.5 solved my tool problem. Update 5 seems to solve the wall issue. Kevin

Hello, I just got notified and updated to Vectorworks 2024 Update 5. When I started up Vectorworks after the update none of the tools from the tool palettes work. I can select them, but they won't draw, navigate or work in the drawing (both new and existing). The menu commands work fine as do the contextual menus. Its like the tools system is down. What's the recommended troubleshooting for this? I've done a restart etc.. Do I need to do a reinstall? Are others having this issue? Kevin

I get the same result here - an unjoined corner. It's the same corner that would be open if you converted the rectangle to a NURBS curve. Noting that Benson's signature says Update 4 and Tom's says Update 5. I'm using Update 4.1. Kevin Edit> I updated to Update 5 to test this and now none of my tools work, sigh 😔

Actually if you change modes while the dragger is set to Re-position mode it happens for me too. Move it off reposition mode and it resets (graphic attached. reposition mode is the one with the arrow, move it to the other one). Definitely a bug. Kevin
