Stake object elevation display with a plus sign and without a dash
JMR replied to JMR's topic in Site Design
Well that does work, sort of! If I set line thickness to .5mm in the attributes palette, the cross looks like a plus sign: No leader line though like you say. Thank you! -
Stake object elevation display with a plus sign and without a dash
JMR posted a topic in Site Design
Happy new year to everyone. Is there a way to display the stake object elevation so that there is only a plus sign followed by the elevation value? I can't get rid of the dash: Displaying the dash is not an option due to regulations. Thanks. -
Option to choose colourful or b/w icons? Or some "Icon styles" settings... Personally find the new b/w ones much, much more difficult to decipher.

Is there a way to determine window/door orientation for Energos, automatically?
JMR replied to JMR's topic in Architecture
Thanks Matt, and sorry for the delay in answering. There is a worksheet function =ANGLE('ENERGOS') which I thought would return the orientation of the element in relation to project north. However, it stubbornly returns North-90 (Vertical 90) for all windows and doors, regardless of which way they are pointing: It seems that the Energos dialog window is the only place this orientation can be set, manually. I haven't found any "north setting" that would have an effect on these. In Document Settings / Georeferencing settings true north can be set, but it has no effect on these values, neither does any heliodon on a design layer. Perhaps I am missing something here...or is it not possible to query the orientation of an object in relation to true north? I would need this information for an energy consultant, they sum up the areas of windows and doors facing different bearings and use this data in determining the energy efficiency of the building. I did a workaround with custom data; gave all windows a special record with a pop-up menu of orientations; then used data visualisation to check this and finally pulled a worksheed based on these - problem solved, kind of. I guess one could query the rotation of the object and add/deduct this from known true north and thereby determine the orientation. I assumed that it would be possible to query the orientation into energos automatically, and also into a worksheet, but it seems I was mistaken. Thanks -
Hi all, I need a list of windows/doors and their orientations for specialist energy consultation. I see I can manually set windows and door orientations in Energos project settings, but this is too laborous for a large project. Is there a way to get this information automatically, to a worksheet? Thanks.

As to VW 2024 project sharing, is it still recommended to create a new working file every day as described before in this thread? Thanks.
-
Thanks! I'm getting close but still get these white lines on the edges - even though both colours are set to black (for testing purposes). The same happens with any selected line and shadow color. BTW the shadows are not transparent...the viewport can be pasted as bitmap thus opening access to the transparency controls.
-
"Artistic render works - line and shadow" - where can this style be found? Can't find it in my resource manager libraries... Also tried the shadow catcher method but get really weird results (see below). The sample file works fine though, but can't figure out what is different in the settings.

Wall Joins - T+L join creates unexpected geometry
JMR replied to StefanoT's question in Troubleshooting
Yes, if the core component was different than the other core component, the walls wouldn't join properly, just like in the first image in this thread. I didn't try with no core specified. -
Wall Joins - T+L join creates unexpected geometry
JMR replied to StefanoT's question in Troubleshooting
As of 2023 SP4 wall joins regarding this situation seem to work fine, although component join operations are needed to clean up some lines: The core component type doesn't seem to have any negative effect any longer. 1243255895_Walljointest.vwx -

It seems to have something to do with the trimmed polyline location..."outside" the building the trim command works fine, inside it becomes very sluggish. As if it was looking for some unseen geometry. There are no spaces or other objects at the same location that I can find. Trim in a blank new file seems to work flawlessly. A bit odd.

Hi all, The trim command is extremely slow with VW 2023. Trimming simple, planar lines takes several seconds now, although not every trimming event. Anyone else run into this? PC machine and VW 2023 Desinger.
