[2022 - Class Marker Style - No None]

I have seen this, but it was years ago.

 

If I remember…

 

Try 

0) Do this on a copy of the drawing.

1) Deselect everything - OIP should say "No Selection"

2) In the attributes palette, make sure there are no markers chosen.  If the markers are by class, best to turn that off.

3) Tools > Utiltiies > Reset All Plug-ins 

4) If it's a big drawing, go get a cup of coffee

 

I haven't seen this for years (are you using 2018 as it says in your signature?).  So I might be wrong.  But I remember that the key was to get all the plug-ins to reset themselves with the default line not having a marker.

 

Hi This seemed to allow the no marker selection . That was a pain thanks Michaelk

[Fence to follow sloping site]

All Yes this is a AUS/NZ tool that has been in the program for as long as i can remember and works a treat. Follows all the site model contour all over.

Seems ludicrous that it hasn't been added to the main program by now.

What's the point of drawing a 3d site model then not being able to add a simple fence to follow the site model.

 

Add the AUS /NZ site fencing to the main program please for everyone's sake.

Always worked for as long as i can remember.

@Ben59Hi, I find if i go into Hybrid i can rotate it using the automatic plane option to any angle i want.

Hi what do you have a problem with editing an autoHybrid?

I simply double click on the autoHybrid and i am in and looking at the original objects with out the auto hybrid operations. then i come out when done.

[VW 2023 Sitemodel bug]

I agree with JEff, Site model references the survey data which i always set to design layer zero. that way all the survey data is measurable and if you get a .CSV file and use import survey data your mode is generated instantly relative to world co-ordinates.

[Why has my section viewports no or few details?]

@RagnarHi, Have a look at the attached file. Walls need to be on classes and components also. Edit wall style and look at each section an you can see how they are set up.

[Sheet Layer Viewport > Advanced Properties > Black and White Only doesn't make everything black and white; other related bugs]

@mdrohnHi, Not sure if this is what you want?? I made the coloured objects each by class otherwise you cant change them in viewport.

Have to make a seperate class of all the items you want to change in a viewport, ie red, blue green etc. You can change the entire design layer to any colour you want see the viewport and by colours. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd9JXJzI9AY

 The pdf is harder but i used the image adjust in the viewport to make it black and white.

[Worksheet Doesn't Show Correctly in Viewports]

HI, Yes a known but apparently very complex issue to solve. Generally they will appear correctly if you go to Vectorworks Preferences > Display tab and uncheck Accelerate Graphics however. After making this change, you may have to save the file then Revert to Saved for it to flush the graphics cache.(As i have been told)

 

So I am having issues with a worksheet in a crop. If I crop it and move the crop up or left it works, if I move it down or right they viewport is blank.

Good Luck

[Vectorworks 2022 - how do I get rid of this?]

@LinseyEvansHi try this, turn on all classes and select all the zoom all, is there an item way off in the distance?? if so delete it and keep doing so until you only see the main building in the page. Things way off can cause this sort of issue.

@Niels TimmerHi again. does this work?? both the main object and object within the auto hybrid need to be on the class.

[How to draw trim around objects]

@RideHi i work in 3D a lot with the automatic working plane set which highlights in colour the surface plane you will work on and allows you to work directly on the plane in 3D. this key toggles it off and on " \  ".

Also to select things i hold the B key down and you can select the line easier when in open GL. (Shaded)

[Materials in Auto Hybrids: 2D hatch not displayed correctly]

@Niels TimmerHi,

Looks like you have to put the hatch on the below class of the auto Hybrid.

Set the Auto Hybrid up the way i have with classes that way if you move the section plane the drawing changes to section under or above.

Creates multiple views by adjusting classes in the viewport.

@hollister design StudiohHi Not sure if this is what you want, Wrap Text?

[How to draw trim around objects]

@RideHi, I draw a 3d Polygon then extrude along path. Make sure you move the object not the line as it extrudes down centre of object, by positioning the object edge to the line it will be easier.

Not sure why the left piece sits out different.

[Datasmith Exporting (doors etc)]

@TomKenThanks. Will have to do this. Told on TM forum to create a subfolder and add the rotator to this.

@Dave DonleyIt would be better if the VW Datasmith was to export the door itself without exploding it then exporting all the little pieces.

This appears to happen on all items. Am i missing something in the export or import section??? 

Thanks

[Datasmith Exporting (doors etc)]

Meant to say C4D exporting
