thank you that was very helpful. Do you also have any tips for the adjustment of hardscape using the hardscape profile tab, or the surface modifiers. I am trying to align two hardscape which are both aligned hardscape but I cannot get the edges to align vertically. I also need to add a slope but I end up with odd valleys and shapes if I use grades or stakes. I cannot find any useful tips or videos on service select other than the clips which say it is possible and isn't it amazing. (it would be if I could work it out).

I have created a hardscape for a gravel surface. When I render using a standard stone finish only the border renders in this way, the main hardscape alters the render - maybe rotating it? Is there a way to change the way this renders to give the appearance I want? This render works perfectly on an extrude, just not on hardscape. Image below shows the extrude - which is how I want it to look - the area to the right is the hardscape with border. Vwx 21 Landmark

Fantastic, that works perfectly, thank you.

I have a model created from imported source data from a survey. The area includes a stream for which the levels are only given in transverse sections at wide intervals. This means the model is not creating the stream correctly. I need to modify the existing site contours - but when i enter the model to edit the contour level text obliterates the contours below so I can't actually see the contours to select, even using the b key. This text is locked in this editing mode and the levels are turned off in the site model settings. Any way to turn off this information? I have also tried entering stakes with levels to modify the model to try and reset this but it doesn't seem to work. The only other alternative I have is to manually enter extra stakes into the survey and re-create the model. any advice? thanks Helen VW21 Landmark

Yes, that solved the problem, thanks very much. So many different options all over the place!

Thanks but those images above were taken with render mode on high. I've set to very high and it makes no difference. I should say I'm running 2021 SP3 updated yesterday.

I have created a model and have created a viewport on a sheet layer. When viewed in top/plan in the viewport, the curves are arranged perfectly but when viewed in top in any other render mode - openGL, final render works, render works style, the curves are not created as curved but as a series of short straight segments. I have increased the dpi of the viewport and no improvement. The problem occurs between hardscape and softscape areas. Screenshots attached. thanks for any advice

This seems to be specific to VW2019 SP2. Everything works fine on my other computer which I haven't yet updated from SP1.

I'm trying to set out a large drawing with circular and straight dimensions. The radial dimension is causing VW to crash - I've tried in an existing drawing and also in a new drawing which opens up automatically. I'm getting the whirling circle and have to force to close. Very frustrating - I have a LOT of work to do and this is not helping. I've repeatedly re-opened VW and am up to date with IOS and VW. Any ideas? Helen

I have a site model and several existing trees - some of these will automatically send to the surface of the site model. Some will not. I've moved them all onto the site model layer (even though the site model is set to identify modifiers on all layers) and a few more trees send to surface. It seems very random. This is a vw2018 file imported into 2019 and there seems to be several bugs with the file (all the lines, either straight, or polygons) now appear to have have line end markers attached, despite the class default being no line marker. Very frustrating. Any ideas? Also does anyone know how to get rid of that odd level shown on the site model? Can't find the source data which is creating it and don't seem to be able to delete it. thanks Helen VW2019 landmark

I know this has come up before but how do I modify the pitch roof in a massing model? I want a pitch but with gable ends, not hips. The help menu says I can edit this by using 'edit massing model' but all that is shown is a standard flat roof - how do I then create the pitch I want? VWX 19

Thanks Tamsin!

Hi All, just coming to grips with the new hardscape styles, in particular the new 3d section aspect of them. I've found quite a few hardscape styles via the resource browser but I am particularly looking for some for gravel and hoggin areas, and no-dig construction including strengthening systems such as Golpla and Cellweb for installing paving over tree routes. Has anyone found this, or made these, or do I need to start from scratch? Below is a standard section (each element drawn individually) which I would like to create into a hardscape style. many thanks Helen

I am looking for a freelance Vectorworks Landmark operator to work on an ad hoc basis to prepare landscape plans. Must have full Landmark knowledge, including site modelling, planting plans, tree survey input etc. Being a landscape architect and a knowledge of plants would be a huge bonus!!
