Thanks J Wallace, I got the slope to work with the site modifier/ pad routine. But now I can't get the surface to render either in 3d or plan view. Am I overlooking something?

[issues importing a dwg file]

One thing I have determined, a number of the polygons from the dwg file imported as 3d polygons and have varying z coordinates. I have never had this happen when importing dwg files before.

[issues importing a dwg file]

I am trying to import an Autocad file, which is easy. But when you pop the dwg background up as an isometric, it is in three widely varying vertical layers (like 3 different z coordinates?). I have looked back at the import settings but don't see what I should do differently. Am i overlooking something to bring the file in as a flat plane?

Thanks to you both. Tasmin, I had just figured that out on my own before you replied. I find that regarding computer software (especially Autocad) if I bang my head on the table long enough, I figure things out.

Vectorworks novice here. I am applying all these great images to pavement surfaces, but they show up white in 3d. I am only seeing limited render textures available. Is there a way to turn these images into textures or otherwise get them to show up in 3d?

[ghosted trees]

[Renderworks camera crashing]

I am a newbie to Vectorworks. When I set up my camera shot, the view will not render in Final Quality Renderworks. It won't even in Fast Renderworks. It just sits there, but did not pop up a crash message. Today, it crashes Vectorworks as soon as I try to view the camera shot in wireframe. Can anyone help?

I found the light fixtures included in the Resource Browser, but there are no actual poles. Which is really odd. Does anyone have a decorative light pole, around 10' height? Thanks
