    @burgcjAnother simple way to create a site model is ask the Surveyor for a .csv file for the terrain which has the the Eastings and Northing and relative level as an excel spreadsheet. See attached, this makes life easy and surveyor has this data and shouldn't cost any more to get. HTH 1520788383_ModelfromCSVfile.mp4

    @burgcjHi if you select the locus they are 3d and then go AEC / Terrain / Site model from Source data and you will get a 3d model. see attached. Not sure if this is what you were after??

    @db535Hi you can always save the view so you can come back to the set angle. not sure of any other way. will look.

    @SLDHi I used xrefs for the actual autocad file so i could move the xref viewport and as changes occurred in the CAD file i could just substitute it on the design layer. Don't move the original on the xref only move the viewport on your design layer . HTH

    @Anelisai i find this sometimes, if you double click on the window in 3D and then close the dialogue the window corrects itself. It regenerates the script as i understand. If you set the selection tool to object type and select all the windows and doors then in settings set open in 3d and all the windows should go into the walls. then set to closed in 3d again and all should be good. HTH Also i notice the wall becomes one and not all sections.

    @twkHi seems to work now. i didn't have the tick on the design layer for the site modifier. Saved as 2021 cant check. will put a 2023 one down also. 2041461386_SiteModifiers.vwx 1589402315_SiteModifiersv2021.vwx

    @twk Yes so i changed it to set by visible layers only it works must be a Bug dare i say

    @twk Hi yea i just set one up and cant get the side modifiers on the other design layer to affect the model on the other design layer

    @twkHave you tried taking the site modifiers and putting them in the same design layer as the model rather than a different design layer. i have never done that always in the same design layer

    @EAlexander Thanks for the comments. Been using TM with VW for some years now and have used C4D export as textures. There is no way to move any of the VW file in TM, you can add furniture, change textures, add landscape and add lights etc (Willing to be corrected as always wanting to learn). This has been good but now with Datasmith (DS) its a whole new world. VW file structure comes over to TM so you now have the opportunity to add rotators to a VW door in TM and have it open via a trigger as you walk towards the door etc. I think the VW model should still control the TM base model as before. Decorate the TM file as before. This way you have two separate files, the base building (VW) and all the decoration (TM). If you want to move a wall do it in VW and it immediately updates in TM via DS sync. As noted in earlier post i think if you move the VW file ball in TM and re sync it from VW it should move back to the VW location. (Parent file) Any comments from anyone welcome. Regards Alan

    @twkHi I find that site modifiers affects all and any site model that sit over them. I think i made a separate design layer for separate site models or exploded one or made a snapshot. Not sure if this is the issue you are having problem with? I also put the site modifiers that relate the the site on the same design layer. HTH

    Hi all, i do a similar thing with a tennis court to show the mesh fence, see attached. 900546593_TennisCourtMesh.vwx

    @Matt HagenHi Generally this is an issue with an object being way off in the distance. turn on all classes and design layers and select all. See what you find and delete till you get only the main drawing filling the screen. HTH

    @Dave DonleyHi, Not sure if you see this is a glitch in Datasmith Export but the way it works now is anything you move in VW automatically updates in DS. But move a VW item in Twin Motion when you resync VW file the item does not move back it seems to be forgetting the item in VW. Shouldn't the TM file updated to the VW file everytime you sync it?? Thanks

    @lisagravyHi, There may be an existing Crop that you need to delete after placing the new one. Select all when in the crop to see if you have another. I did it and pasted a new crop and it stayed the same, then i deleted the original crop and all was good. Funny when i go into he model to delete the original crop then come out, then go in again the crop is there still just keeps reappearing no matter how many time you delete it, add a new crop and delete the original and the new poly takes over the crop. HTH

    @HoldenbaHi it looks like a screen plane object use select similar object tool with only plane selects and try to select, if it is change all to layer plane. Or select all and change to layer plane. HTH

    I have a simple roof face, One shows the tiles by class the left one cannot be changed by class only by texture. Click on each and the class palete is different, eye dropping doesn't work. Only way to get to be by class is to changeRoof Issue.vwx to a style and it works then you can unstyle if you want.
