unearthed

It may be too basic for you but something I looked at recently was trying to count the area of symbols within a named polyline - and excluding symbols within an inner island region/ named polygon. My symbols were squares as in graphic, and I was trying to get a sum of the pixel area, but what I found was the function LOC only counted the pixels were fully inside of my region i.e. there is no Boolean math in this it's extremely basic. But for your case it may be suitable to count plants underneath tree canopies. I'm on 2018 so I don't know when you're referring to tree canopies if you're referring to some tree canopy function within VW. I prefer to use VW in very basic ways as I've had it fall over when doing anything complicated.

and for Windows PureText, and the writer's website with more info

Thanks twk and Benson, that works .. most of the time, and sometimes drops thru. to Layer Plane, as do 3D loci sometimes. E|FA That sounds ideal but I've never Data tags and it looks quite a mission to set up.

What is the vwx version?

In other software - QGIS, Sketchup etc. - there are handy tools when one just needs to know a spot height for a particular place. Does VW have that?, or via plugin that works in 2018?

What does your city / county / state jurisdiction have (assuming you're in the US)?

I don't use the linz plugin, so in cxase it doesn't work well for you I do this: In the linz website use the box tool to select my data area and the DEM images I want and download it, and then to QGIS If this more than one DEM.tif tile you need to merge them before you run the contour tool. Then - still in QGIS - Menu: Raster: Extraction>Contour and in the dialog: select the input layer select the interval under advanced parameters select 3D And assuming your data is reasonably good quality click run Then in the dialog save the file as a .shp file What I normally do it this point is go back to the menu: Project>import/export>Export project dxf, and import that into VW. I especially do this with contour lines, with normal polygon .shp data I just drag them from the base folder on my system that QGIS is working from.

Just drag it into Google maps - all the action is on the senders end. I don't use G maps much but it's very useful for larger sites, e.g. over multiple Km across. When I've wanted to bring kml data into VW I've normally converted it in QGIS. klm (in G Maps) is useful in early stages of large-area projects, for instance when formal survey data is not yet available.

Thanks Tom W that works perfectly.

I'm trying to read text from two different worksheets into a third worksheet - is this possible? I've read and searched many vonversations on here and found nothing useful. The enclosed image what I'm hoping is possible want to get the text in Cell A1 in worksheet - 0_Labels_plantList' and the text in Cell A1 in worksheet - 0_Labels_plantingSpec and combine them in Label_Plant _1. But so far I've found nothing that works, in the image is my latest failed attempt. I realise I could be using one of VWs built-in label things but i've never found them useful or attractive, partly as they are oriented to doing the same thing again and again, which is not something I've ever done.

I'm a member of a reasonably large online forum where users are forced to enter some information, you cannot progress through the entry unless you fill out some fields.

Thanks for thew offer Jesse, I am using 2018 - I have a serial for 2022, bu I I haven't seen anything post 2018 that is useful in my workflow.

Hi Jesse, thanks, What I'm hoping to do is to use Auto Hotkey's ability to manipulate placement of toolbars, dialogs and OI boxes so that when I start up each morning, all my various dialogues are pushed to specific places on my other screen. VW does not honor the positions of dialogues and toolbars - I normally have them floating free on the screen to my left, and after twenty years it's getting really tiresome. Every other package I use does honour prior placement of loose screen items.

Where would I find the handle names of the various palettes, tool bars & dialogs? I've looked across the forum without any joy I'm looking especially for the handles of these items: • Resource manager • Object info • Basic • Attributes • Snapping I'm not a scripter or programmer but knowing these will get me further, I'm trying to automate a process using Auto Hotkey - but for that I need object handle names.

Thanks LarryO
