I have a question about the way Site Models are created. I started creating the site model using the Survey input tool 2D poly to 3D Contour. But I find this very combersome and started using the MOdify>Convert>3D Poly good tool. I notice that the first created the 3D Poly but leaves a copy of the 2D Polygon. Can I continue without problems even if I change to 3D Poly from combining both methods?

here is my file exported from a machine with a crash problem. I also attached a copy of the file in https://www.dropbox.com/sh/a9lsxrbyb495j4q/AAAgTffk5D-87AXkajgfOlt_a?dl=0 DxDiag.txt

Please, may anyone open the file and try to change to a view and re-save. Then please return to me.

I am using VW 12.5.3 in windows. I have a jpeg image in the background resempling a scaned image. I like this black and white image to get a faint clear grey color. I am not sure how this is accomplished. I tried to set the fill pallet, but this does not do it.

THANKS .. for yor help..

I am currently moving avery floor to its corret Z location. Also set the Z value to the elevation for each floor. If I am understanding correctly, The correct way to design the drawing is to design every floor at the origin and use the Z value to adjust under the stack layer mode?

MY hardware is Windows XP PRo. ISing VW 12.5.3 Designer version. I want to render a building. I have draw each floor in a separate layer. I have rectified each floor to aligned exactly one in top of the other at the exact Z height. Under design view, I set the Layer options to See All. WHen set the view to front or back with all the layers visible, the building renders exactly as expected (Stack layer option off). But then I create a viewport and set the created viewport to a view (front , back..etc..) the building is rendered in stack view mode. Each floor is separated from the layer underneath reflecting what is achieved in design view when stack layer option is selected. Looking forward to your help.

This is very annoying and find no way to determine what I am doing wrong. I am using the older version VW12.5.3 When I create a view port of a multistory buildings (Floors in each separate layer) , the drawing renderes in stack layer mode!! I have check my design drawign and all the layers are stack correctly and the stack olayer option is not check. I have tried everythign and nothing seems to work. I can not find any reference here.

Are you using a 9.5 architect with Landmark. I belief there is a bug with this version. I did a clean removed af al vectorworks Architect Landmark and renderworks. Reintalled the 9.02 versiona and worked just fine. It must be a problem with some of the dll file, but I am not a TEckie to be sure on this. Jose E. Calderon

Something is not wright here. I purchased an upgrade. THis means that I should not have been suppresed from the original Overlays which included DMS and Architrect equivalent workspace. I supposed there must be an utility which will converts these overlays to Workspaces. Jose quote: Originally posted by Matthew Giampapa: VectorWorks 9 only comes with a Standard Workspace. If you have installed version 9.5.1 and the 3D Power Pack, there is also an enhanced version of this workspace which includes the 3D Power Pack tools. Almost all of the tools and commands from the version 8 AEC workspace are available in the basic VectorWorks 9 package. However, you will have to assemble them into your own workspace by means of the Workspace editor to make them available. VectorWorks Architect comes with it's own updated version of the Architect 1.0 workspace that was available as an add-on to version 8. Matthew GiampapaNNA Technical Support

Where can I get a Architectural workspace template file? I upgraded to VW 9.1 and find out that the templates were removed from the regular VW. Thanks you. Jose
