  1. Peter and Kevin, Thank you for your suggestions! Importing only the 3D polylines and creating a model from them has seemed to work. The Vectorworks Landscape Specialist also helped me with a few things. He got me on track! Now I just have to troubleshoot adding my aerial photograph as a texture to the model, which of course, isn't working right. Thanks for your help!
  2. HI Everyone! I am a brand new Vectorworks user and I would appreciate any help you can give me! I am trying to create a site model from imported County planimetric data in a DWG form. The contours already have 3D data associated with them. Not all of the data in my file was 3D to start with, but I imported the entire file as '3D objects.' I made sure that the units were correct,that the conrours had the correct Z values and that it came in at the right size. I turned off everyhing excelt the contours, spot elevations and contour labels. I then ran 'Validate 3D Data' and addressed those issues. Then I ran 'Create Site Model.' A site model was created, but the only thing that shows up is the contours; I have tried to change the look of the model by going to 'Site Model Settings' and trying '3D triangles' or 'Mesh' and nothing changes. I also tried to apply a photographic texture and nothing noticable happened. Does anyone have any ideas? It's probably something very simple, but I'm not seeing it. Ultimately, I want to be able to create a site model, add an aerial photograph texture to it, create a proposed highway interchange model, and create an animation of the model. It's a lot for a new user to bite off! I would like to attach the file, but its' 60MB. Once again, I appreciate any help you may be able to give me!
