[Spotlight License - Site Plan Work Around]

I did a quick test and this worked perfectly. I didn't even have to connect the polys. Just drew them as a contours, set them at their various heights (as you would find on a topo map), and they draped perfectly.

 

Thanks so much! @bcd 

 

A quick gif attached of the process in case it's helpful for anyone else.

 

 

[Spotlight License - Site Plan Work Around]

I work primarily in the entertainment/events industry, but have recently purchased some land and would like to develop my site plan with VW. I only have the Spotlight license and understand that the site model tools (among others) aren't available without Architect/Landmark. I'm trying to avoid the expense of an additional license for a one-off personal project.

 

Does anyone have any good workarounds for creating topography of a site using more rudimentary tools? I don't mind a bit of added manual work to get it done.

 

Many thanks!

[Renderworks Issue - Geometry Not Updating / Viewport Turns Black]

Not sure if this has been solved, but I just discovered that if you use the render bitmap tool to render, and then re-render using the standard interface, it seems to reset itself. I haven't tested this work around with viewports yet, but wanted to put that out in the world. Certainly better than having to restart, which is obviously a huge timesuck.
