    Use the hardscape tool with custom elevations. The sky is the limit using that tool.

    Spotlight doesn't have the Hardscape tool.
     

    Theatre4jc's request is a very valid need for Spotlight users.

  2. Have you tried drawing it with the Hardscape tool using the Path Mode for the roadway parts. 

    The Roadway tool can also be used.  I'm not sure how you could model the flared and portions with different radii corners on each side.

  3. Doors can't extend past the end of a wall so you will have to create Openings with the Door Tool in the separate walls and then manually place the door into the opening created.  Make sure the Wall Insertion Mode is off when you do that to prevent it inserting it into one of the walls.  It might also be prudent to give it a unique Class and temporarily switch the Class Options to Show/Snap Others.

    Why is the Component Edit palette/Bar the only one, that I cannot make disappear – when it is also the only one, that I am never ever going to use?

     

    There is this menu item called Palettes, where every other palettes can be turned on and off. Please include the Component edit palette in this menu.

     

    Be gone Component Edit Palette – and good riddance.


    Kaare, can you please post a contextual image of which palette you are referring to.

    If I want to extrude a triangle

    If you draw a triangle using the Triangle tool then both the Extrude command and the Push/Pull tool can be used to give it a third dimension.

    One of the 1st things I do is create a generic catch-all class I call "non-plot" to put things in that I don't want to see in viewports.

     

    The Non-Plot Class is created by both Door and Window Objects.

    Is this something that's explicitly stated in VW documentation or "getting started" guides that new users are likely to read/watch?

     

    My observation from years of experience helping people sort out Vw problems.

    I've seen more than a few users tie themselves up in knots by setting their None Class to invisible or having its line weight set to zero or using a pen colour that matches the colour of their background.

    It was set invisible then I changed it.  That's how I figured as part of a symbol it is buried on the none class and doesn't change even though the symbol attributes are set to "by class" that is active when the symbol is inserted.  I found this out with another symbol (drawing label).

     

    The None Class is the equivalent of the 0 Layer in Autocad.  You need to have it visible all the time including in every Sheet Layer and Design Layer Viewport. It also needs to have a pen thickness and a visible pen colour.

    So the door leaf is on the NONE class.  I placed the doors on another class and it seems as though the jambs take the active class but the leaf and swing and whatever else stays in the NONE class.

    Three things to check:

    1)   Is your None Class set to visible on your design layers and your Sheet Layer Viewports?  The None Class needs to be always visible.

    2)  Is your None Class pen thickness set to 0.00?  If it is then that is why you can't see the leaf and swing linework.

    3)  Is your pen colour set to the same colour as your screen background?  That would make the leaf and swing 'invisible'.

  10. Make sure your Door object container Class and its component Classes all have fills.

    There is a Hardware tab in settings.  Make sure Include Hardware has a checkmark against it and you have selected a Hardware Set.
