Diego - Resuelvector

Hi Mike! I usually start by slicing the model very thinly at 2 or 3 feet intervals for all the floors of a point cloud and saving views for the Floorplans, and also several slices for sections And try to find averages between corners of rooms, because the point cloud will have a ton of points and they are not like perfectly aligned in straight lines A good software for extracting lines from point clouds is PointCab, it's a little expensive if you do a couple of point clouds a year, it's a cross-platform software and great for point clouds

A good way to do improve that is using referenced files, I'll reduce the file size and improve performance

You will need to use several NURBS curves to achieve that or a play with subdivision modeling

Sadly for the underside of the stairs, I find myself doing some acrobatics too if there is a lot of space between the underside and the actual stair structure Usually, I leave that part for the CD set, in DD sets I use 2D linework in sections until the design has been ironed out When, if, the design moves forward then I'll play with Roof faces and wall components to even obtain schedules and BOM

Is better to not use the railings built on the stairs, I had better results using the new Railing tool in 2024, you can control better how different flights of railing connect to each other

Thank you, I'll check those options to see if I have the values and settings right

Greetings, I have a Vectorworks model and it is georeferenced but the moment I export the file to IFC the georeference information gets lost, even if in the Site Data the Reference Latitud and Logitud are displayed correctly What other settings must I check to ensure a proper georeferenced export from Vectorworks 2023?

Hi @Pat Stanford, did you manage to fix this issue? I have the same problem

Yes, I don't usually do that,I clip the roof and add a custom Skylight symbol

For Skylights, the only way is create a Custom Record and a Custom Tag to show the desired info

Yes, a quick fix in your situation, could be to use a 2D polygon to clip the underside of the slab, It would give you the desired section detail

I hope there will be an option to access this plug-in through the Partner Products portal, is in german, but the plug-in does some amazing stuff

1.The section fill is controlled by the Section Style Class, changing it you can show different fills/hatches , etc 2. Are you creating a horizontal Section Viewport or a regular 2D plan?

Congratulations!

You need to assign a IFC definition to the symbols, even generic IFC definition will be enough, otherwise the objects will not be recognized by the IFC softwares

You need to define a component in the roof to clip the walls

Put a 3D locus to each of the points you want the fence to lock, then use the 3D mode of the fence Tool

Great work!!!

A way to do it is ungroup the main roof and clip just the remaining Roof Face in Top/Plan view

With the cabinet tool you can't do that, un-check the countertop from the cabinet, use the Countertop tool and then you can create an opening for the sink, but you will have to manually adjust the size of the hole in the Countertop to fit the sink

I also have this problem, with site models I've tried several "workarounds" to no avail, any suggestions?

Greetings I've working remotely as a consultant for several years now, with members of the forum too, if you need some help, I can provide you with my portfolio, You can contact me at any moment too! Kind regards Diego

Yes, I'm curious about the process to convert point cloud to mesh, can you give us some pointers?

Right now I have a 2 step process, first, create the planes or rectangles aligned to the point cloud, and then create walls and slabs and so on, I hope there is a better method

Have you tried to reinstall Vectorworks? I've been using almost the same configuration with Vectorworks 2020, Catalina and a Sonnet eGPU with an 8 gig Radeon card without any issue, or try to contact tech support..
