Hi All, For some reason Style 4 while selected as the shutter texture does not appear as a class? Also, even if I put the shutters in Style 3, which is the same as the sashes they still do not appear? What am I doing wrong? TY Jeremy

Hi All, I have inadvertently clicked something in my navigation palette where my classes are no longer in alphabetical order. How do I get them back to alpha order? TY J

There is a lot of useful information in this thread. Thanks all. Attached is another progress image. Is there anyway to soften the horizon line in Vectorworks?

There was a lot of good info in this thread. Thanks to all. It would be nice to soften the horizon line. Anyway to do this in Vectorworks?

Monadnoc & All, You have put together some really great information here. And your renderings are quite nice. I am almost ready to re-post my rendering but for (1) critical piece of information. "The Tree line in the distance from the texture resource area..." can you re-post that link, or better yet the .vwx file, here as I can't seem to find it. Additionally, is it then used as a renderworks background or is it applied as a texture to some infinite extrusion? I am not sure how that piece comes together. TY J

Hi All, How can I make landscape elements ie. grass look less like green painted concrete and more like grass? In plan the grass shows as a texture but totally flattens out in a perspective/camera view. Also, is there a C4D expert out there interested in making this rendering photo realistic? TY J

Hello all, For some reason I cannot use any objects, textures from the resource browser as I get the following message: "... the following files were saved using an older version of vectorworks and therefore could not be added to the list of favorites"?? See screen shot. This makes no sense as I am using VW 2010 SP4 TY J

Peter, that is exactly what I had done, copied the walls up to the next level. Not something I typically do so thanks for your input, now I know. TY J

This is the screen shot that should have accompanied the prior post.

Hi Peter, I will post the file later. I think I spoke to soon, the layer heights are OK but my windows are set at a height in the OIP of -11'-0"???, yet its a 5'-4" window set at 7'-6" head (see attached) TY J

bcd, you are correct the 12' 1/2" was confusing the program. I reset all levels to zero, closed VW and reset the levels(leaving out the 1/2") and all is well. TY J

When I double click the layer through the Tools>Organization the Z & DZ just confirms the settings/heights I have input? Each wall when I select it shows up with a strange DZ in the OIP. For instance my 2nd floor walls in the OIP are DZ-4" , Z=11'-0" which relates to ... nothing I have input?

I was just setting my wall heights to cut a section and realize the Delta-Z is out of whack & I can't seem to alter it. See the attached screen shot. Where is my mistake.? TY J

Etienne, Thanks, I haven't been on the board in a while so this is a welcome response. TY J
