Maybe I misunderstand the original post, but currently when we cut sections through our site models, we override the section style class, that's being created by default, with a hatch. I think it's normally a solid red fill with 1.0 line thickness. Which I believe is 'solid beneath and the terrain in elevation beyond the section line'.. Also we set our creasing angle for the Hidden line setting to ~80°. ++1 to the Nurbs surface though

Can't this already be done? I've added 'Replace with Symbol' to our Object-Context Menu for our own workspace, and you can pretty much select any object and use that command. With regards to insertion point, it just takes the centre of the object being replaced.

Hey Jim, Just following up on this thread, any updates on an ETA on those introductory notes/video. Thanks Twk

No worries.. thanks!

Hello Jim, Just visited that page and there are no attachments found?

Well I'll be.. I was sure there was a default wall height set for the design layer in my testing.. Thanks bcd.

Greetings all, I've been scratching my head over the past couple of hours trying to get wall areas/wall component areas working in worksheets.. Post concatenated to remove unnecessary steps taken for a silly mistake! >> Long post cut short : -Tried to generate area from wall in worksheet, kept getting a zero value. -as bcd pointed out below, zero height = zero area, doh! Thanks Tui

While we're on the topic of forums, are there plans for integration into external forum viewer apps? I use Tapatalk on my PC/Phone and is very helpful to see updated posts/topics without having to use a browser.

Much appreciated Jim!

Thanks for the response Jim, So.. any ETA? hehe; and will be released here on the forum? or on the Dev Wiki or..?

This is a repost from https://techboard.vectorworks.net/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=215889##215892 Even though Marionette, (I mean VW2016), hasn't been released in this part of the globe, I have a couple of quick questions - based on the videos/Techboard Posts released and the Developers Wiki I've been reading/following- 1. Seeing that Marionette scripts can be wrapped in to a wrapper 'object', can the data generated from these objects be scheduled into a worksheet? Would that procedure be the same as plugin objects? > Set Database Row > Cell Formula =('PIOName','PIOParameter') 2. After the marionette script is built, would you be able to export the marionette script into python/VS and create a PIO off of that? 3. Also one for JimW, any ETA on the Manual you're writing up? Would love to have a read before VW2016 gets released here in NZ. Thanks in Advance Tui

well i'll be, my youtube subscription feed is filled with 2016 videos.. goodbye techboard..hehe (jks)

Awesome.. we have a date.. 16th.. now a time......

Hint?

Yep.. same here..NZ

Hi Patrick, I am able to split 3D Polys with the 'Split' Tool. Something along the lines of this article in the help guide. VW2015 Online Help - Splitting Objects and NURBS Surfaces with the Split Tool HTH Tui

While that may be true, I assume it will be easier to create an in-house solution (something inside vectorworks) then to try and create a 'translator' between to programs? Maybe?

Our settings are found under the options button > Printer Properties > Layout tab, (under Page format, 'Booklet'). I believe these settings are printer specific (ie if you're printer is capable of double sided printing). Attached screenshot.

this is from 2009!!?? +1 This would be really helpful for multi-type housing, like housing developments. Where you can color cells/sub-cells based on certain criteria (house type, floor area > x, coverage percentage < x, etc).. Need this like yesterday.. Hopefully this has been considered after 4 years?

add a ResetObject(h) at the end of your FUNCTION ChangeToDemo block, FUNCTION ChangeToDemo(h :HANDLE) :BOOLEAN; BEGIN SetClass(h,'Demolition'); ResetObject(h); END;

Oh, appreciate it Dieter and Dom.. I'm currently trying to get my head around Object oriented programming and starting with C++, going through the lessons at learncpp.com, it's a long read/exercise but I'm hoping to translate the OPP thinking onto python. Your repo looks very interesting and helpful. Appreciate the initiative. I've decided to go with Visual Studio 2015, as they have both Python & C++ IDE's. The journey continues... tui

now THATs interesting!
