@jblock Will VB 165320 ( cannot render doors and windows) be fixed in 2020 SP2 please? Unfortunately the work around would require the multiple addition of new classes and sub classes relating to new/existing doors and windows as well as render type. This will inevitably mess with our workflow and in principle should not be necessary. Many thanks to let us know.

Thanks for your support to Frank, Matt!

Hi Frank, (achieved in VW 2019)
We do all our annotation in the design layers and copy it over to the viewport annotation. Nevertheless I was intrigued.
So I went to our ground floor of our 3d model and inserted a dimension (1926mm) and converted it to layer plane/3d (not screen plane) in the OIP and manipulated it to the correct plane using Control L (Vertical) You can see it on the right image model view in front of the door.
I then went to a section viewport of the model and the dimension wouldnt appear ....until I checked "display planar objects" and it appeared!
I may have misunderstood your question and we do all our work in 3D, but I hope this might help in some way to get you from A to B
Regards
David

I regrettably concur.

Hello,
Since upgrading to 2020 we now seem unable to add textures to doors and windows. Any ideas why this might be?
I've made sure the class the door is allocated to have ' textures - use at creation' turned on. But we are a bit stumped as to why non of us are able to change the finish from the initial one that is assigned.
Thanks in advance.
@SarahISO Thanks Sarah for spotting this. Out of interest are your 2019 files imported into 2020 also losing the window/door renders? (assuming you are upgrading existing 2019 files of course?)

I second @zoomer s comments. I really like your renders. Sorry you are having problems.

@line-weight Really great rendering. Just stumbled on these by accident!

Never used stories Josh just design layers stacked on each other

The other thing I've noticed about the FWtO tool is that the walls "absorb and retain" any previous FWtO operational instructions and get very "confused" especially when this involves the scenarios you describe above and the subsequent operation fails. There have been occasions when I have had to either delete the wall peaks I have created (this is a command) or on occasion create a new wall. Hope this helps!

I'd concur with Wes. It's a great tool but it is hyper-sensitive. So if for example the roof does not protrude beyond the wall the tool doesn't understand what it is being asked to do and the operation will fail. Conversely if for example two roof faces do not meet up at the apex then it will do exactly what you've asked it to do and create a (n unnecessary) column at the apex!

Not sure if this helps but I am a great fan of fit walls to objects and use it all the time. Sometimes however the wall/s seem to "retain" the original "instruction/s" and it it a fairly simple process to delete wall peaks top and bottom and start again. Cheers D

Can I just say there are a lot of very very experienced users on this group. A lot of posts are placed at the moment of truth when you need an answer quickly. But they may not be read/answered in that context. Sometimes you may get an answer quickly. Other times it is equally rewarding to just to investigate a way of doing things which brings great rewards when you have time to do so. I have learned a lot in this way. Always inspirational. D

@markdd I've had that. I'm glad you highlighted it. I thought I was losing my mind.

Hello Anton. From memory this was a bug which was fixed during the tenure of VW2018.?
