That's disappointing hearing that the bevels and mitres do not transfer through to the IFC model. Let's hope that gets fixed soon. And also the ability to add a text label.

I agree with Jonnoxx on the whole story setup, it's so not intuitive currently that we don't bother with it on most projects. With regards to Architecture, we would also like to see a lot more automation happening, eg automatically showing floor levels with datum markers on elevations & sections. Automatically showing grid lines on elevations & sections. Automatically generating window & door schedules in a graphical way rather than a worksheet. All of the information is there, so it would be nice to get the program to do some of this 'donkey' work, so we don't have to manually do it.

Can anyone confirm if this is possible please? Also, how do you show the structural member as a single line - like you could with the framing member? Thanks

Hi Josh, we have the same issue, and we're still using 2016. I ended up putting the ID's on each side of the building on their own class so that you can turn the ones you don't want to see off.

From our experience, it doesn't work like that. Once the callout is placed using the text from the database, it is no longer linked to the database. If you change the callout note on the drawing, you have to then, click the update button so that it updates the database to match the new callout note. It's a very manual process. Tom, you shouldn't have to do any 'finding' of callouts, if you change one callout note/number, then it does change all the other instances of that callout.

I'd like this confirmed too. We use Keynotes from a database, and unless we're using them wrong, once the keynote is placed, it is no longer linked to the database. If the keynote description changes, we have to update the database to match. We think it should work so that the keynotes are always linked to the database.

Have the same issue printing PDF's created in VW on an iMAC. Printing the PDF's using ACROBAT prints the text in Gibberish, however when the same document is printed using PREVIEW, the PDF's print fine. So I always print using PREVIEW obviously :-)

Would it not be worth simply replacing the sheet border tool with the VAA Title Block tool that Ozcad has created? It seems like it already has the features being requested.
Just a thought.

Hi. That's a shame.
Have you e-mailed Julian at Ozcad? It might be a useful feature to add so that some of the data from the 'Schedule Data" tab could be displayed with the ID.
Cheers

Hi Josh
I'm pretty sure there is a way to show more information. Have you viewed the Windoor Tutorial video? This details how to customise the ID's etc.

Using World Z didn't help with some wall hatch alignment issues we had. The origin of the wall hatches/textures need to be easily adjustable. The cladding is always set out from a particular spot/level. It's never random.
-
Cool, will check that out. Good spotting.
-
Hi Josh, we've had the same issue. Be great if the origin could be set for each texture so that aligning the textures & wall hatches was easy & adjustable. Hopefully someone knowledgeable can answer this.
Cheers

Hi. It's a surface hatch associated with a render texture. Both hatches had 'auto-align plan' selected. I adjusted the hatch on the wall above using the 'Offset H' field in the OIP and that seems to have it close enough. I was really just wondering if there was a "correct" method to align surface hatches.
Thanks
-
Hi
What is the correct way to align the surface hatch on a wall that is above another wall?
Thanks

Hi
A simple question regarding releasing layers.
I have a number of layers checked out.
How do I release say, just one layer?
When I choose release in the 'Layers' tab, it releases all of the layers?
Thanks
-
Yes. On numerous projects. I've contacted Ozcad about it on a couple of occasions, but they couldn't provide any solutions.
When the ID's disappear we haven't been able to find a way to make them visible again.
It was happening prior to VW2016.
It's really frustrating.

If you select the site model & give it a solid white fill in the attribute palette, it will show as solid in a section viewport. Still shows as hollow in clip cube though.

Hi
Yes, the extrudes are separate. The whole face of the extrude always moves when push/pulled (as expected), but I can't see how to tell VW only to push/pull the piece of the extrude that extends beyond the other extrude?
I'm missing something.
-
Hi
I've watched this video
and I really like the method shown to trim extrudes to each other.But - I can't seem to get the push pull tool to work like shown. It always moves the whole face of the extrude. I have the 2nd mode selected (Move Face Mode)
Any tips on how to replicate this method?
Thanks
-
Ignore that last post, I figured it out. The site model is on the none class which has no fill.
Thanks again.
-
Cool thanks, which class in particular did you have to make solid?
-
Hi
I have a section viewport of my site model on a sheet layer, to create building elevations. This works well, but the lower walls of the building which go 'through' the site model are visible - it's like the site model is transparent.
I have hidden line selected as the rendering mode.
But when viewing a side view of the site/model on the design layer in hidden line view, the site shows solid as expected.
What controls the site transparency in the section viewport?
I've attached an image showing what I mean, plus the VW file.
I'm sure it's something simple.
Thanks

Under the wall attributes there are two options.
1. Use Wall Line Attributes
2. Use Component Line Attributes
My wall styles had option 1 selected.
I changed this to option 2 and the wall caps appeared so that's good.
With option 1. When you have a wall made up of various components, what 'wall line' would this be referring to?
With option 2, which component does VW use to cap the wall? The core component?
Callout Tool is all screwy in 2017
in Known Issues

There are definitely some other issues with the callout tool. In a new VW2017 file, sometimes when adjusting the leader arrow, these weird artifacts appear. (This happens on windows & MAC) See below.
Also, after placing the callout, moving the leader arrow does not snap to angles, so you can't get a vertical leader for example. And in VW2016 you could mirror a callout so that the text was on the other side - not in VW2017.
