    What about using Story Levels and setting the interior components to be bound to a Story Level that is at the level of the bottom of the beam. You would probably need two wall styles, one for walls with beams and one for walls without, but it should calculate properly.

     

    It would be great if I have only 1 type beam. But this is not the case. I need to put into walls several beams with different dimensions. Symbol in a wall is a good workflow, but the problem is the quantities. I can't create a "hole" inside the wall.

     

     

  2. In a single wall this beam makes 4 mq difference. 4 mq means 120 euros. This is a single wall for a single stories for a single tower. I think is something like 10x floor so 1200 per floor. The entire project is 12 floors per tower so 14.400 euros x means 43.200 euros.

     

    So, yes, it's very important for me to have the right control for this paramethers, thank you.

    Do you have the Symbol Options set to Convert to PIO?  And to Insert in Wall?  I was able to insert a beam made into a symbol into a wall.

    yes, that was the problem. Another problem is that if you insert a symbol into a wall without Breaks, the component quantities are the same as the wall without the simbol so I need to add also a wall in feature.. and repeat this process for every beam. That's insane..

  4. hello

     

    I'm working on a new BIM model. 

     

    I need to set everything precisely and need to put a beam into a wall to generate a correct material worksheet quantity report

     

    My goal is to put the beam into the wall like a simbol but if I convert a structural element into a symbol it becomes like a parametric element and I can't put it into the wall

     

    How can I solve this problem?

    Hello

     

    I'm trying to apply a macro inside a handle to replicate the model of the video on interiorcad 2021. The macro works correctly. I tried to create a symbol converted into a group after inserting a 3D object to which I applied a subtraction created from the same symbol with which I customized the macro. If I insert the handle, the door is not drilled, but if I apply the same macro inserted in the handle group, the door is drilled. Am I doing something wrong?

    You need to check "Ridimensiona oggetto" and then make it stretch. You don't need to use a Marionette any more for this, did you know? You can use two rod bearings (as blue symbols) and an extrude (also a blue symbol) and interiorcad will reshape the extrude to fit the width. No clothes and no clothes hangers (yet), obviously...

     

    Yes, the "object mode" you explain on the video works well. And I know that I need to check "ridimensiona oggetto" but the problem is that I don't see the specific selected marionette object. If I select the Clothes Rail, it doesn't appear on my cabinet. 

     

    Symbol method is done.

     

    Thanks a lot Stephan

    I always get purple screen - crash - reboot

    when try in to change render quality in Twinmotion


    The purple windows problem can be fixed by disable this option on general panel on system settings

    But how did you migrate exactly ?

     

    At first I tried Mac to Mac, second Time from time machine backup to Mac, problem with 2 users, no administrator. 3rd time one more time with time machine, problem with dropbox and purple screen. Every time formatting everything

     

    last time i switched to be an apple betatester 😄

     

    I have all documents on dropbox. Then set the mails one by one, than installing software one by one, driver one by one

     

    Today finally I find a good way

     

     

     

     

  9. By the way..

     

    MBP is connected with usb c cable to a LG 27’ 4k. Absolutely fine. 
    If the MBP is open and it is connected with the 4k monitor, navigation experience throug heavy vw files in Open GL are better on my imac 2017 with 8 gb gpu, but using only the 4k monitor it looks the same, for now. 
     

    If you switch to M1, absolutely ABSOLUTELY do not trasfer directly data from intel mac or using time machine. It’s a disaster: 8 hour on phone with apple and dropbox support, finally resolved ONLY with a new clean installation. 
     

    But yes, i think M1 is the way, quicker than we can imagine..

     

    have a cadmouse and spacenavigator, both from 3d connexion, no issue for now

  10. Viewport, same situation

     

    render time 

     

    MBP 13 M1 9 min 18 sec (with a 4k monitor and an iPad Pro via sidecar connected), 9 min 0 sec alone

     

    iMac 2017 5k quadcore 4,2 Ghz 64 gb ram 11 min 38 sec, alone

    Hi. I am a garden designer who has previously used AutoCAD for technical drawing output and Sketchup for 3D presentations.  I am hoping to use Vectorworks landmark for both and I thought that was the whole point of the software.  Why is it then that you have to assign a scale to draw in workspace and not when you output.  I may wish to have a plan in 1:50 and some details in 1:20 and also use the same drawing for a 3D visual.  How can I possibly know what to draw in before I start?  Do I have to re draw the whole thing for each drawing?!  Im sure this can not be the case.


    Garden designer using Autocad? 

    OMG welcome to the new life!

    Don't the lines represent cables? Can you take one piece of truss and rigging, put in a document and post?

     

    Here is it

     

    The main class is Bridle Main. Then are also:

     

    Rigging-Bridle-Connection= connections

    Rigging-Bridle-Geometry= what I need in gray

    Rigging-Bridle-Label= label if exist

     

    You can hide the last 3. If you hide the first one the entire object disappear.

     

    If you set the first class to show, you alway see lines, even if the planar object on viewport is set to off

    Bridle lines.vwx

  13. Yes, i know the process. But lines are connected to the main class object. If you turn off the main class, 3d geometry and lines are turned off -even if classe are visibile-. You can turn off the 3d geometry but you can’t turn off the lines. So in this way i need to hide the entire object but i need to hide only lines.. that’s my issue..

    don't the bridle lines, by default, have their own class? Turn that off in the Viewport.

     

    Yes, but the lines are controlled by the main class. If you set it to invisible, you can't see the 3d geometry. If you turn off the geometry, you see only the main class with lines.

  15. Good morning. I would like to ask if this procedure is correct: I want to connect some lights to a sloped truss. In top / plan view they seems connected correctly, but in 3d it is not verified. Does this mean that you have to redo the connections twice? If you redistribute the lights from top view the connections are not easily controllable. 

     

    How should you proceed correctly? Thanks

    On the Space Settings, click Advanced Settings. Here, you can choose which properties you wish to have available on the Object Info palette.

     

    Yes, but I'm not sure that users can see directly multiple object's area (sum of..) on OIP, like on STR's example.
