  1. I'm not a power user of the Landmark features, not yet anyway. Maybe @Tamsin Slatter will have better ideas. If the plants are a symbol, you should be able to generate or create a report with the proper inventory. If those plants are grouped, VWX should only see the groups as object, not the objects within the groups, unless you pul out the symbol. If you, like me, don't love the polyline drawing tools, have you tried creating the poly lines in another way, and then using the Modify>Create Objects from shapes command?
  2. some plastic reflectivity? Maybe a noise bump shader. Just a wee bit.
  3. I was training a colleague and it was one of the stock title blocks, the symbol appeared in the correct location, but it did not align as expected on the drawings. I had intended to research this bug, but then came this post.
  4. Can you make them plant areas? Are you grabbing groups or individual symbols, or then a combination?
  5. I think this description creates a Blue Symbol, not a Green symbol
  6. Well, I'm pretty free with my sharing. If you create a Dropbox (pick your flavor of WAN), you can v=create a new folder and a new VWX drawing in that folder and do a DLVP reference, however, if the Engineer doesn't have access to that file, they'll likely not get updates. So you would have to repeat the process with any revision. You could also create a Project file and limit that user's access.
  7. My own is very similar, I swap the Attributes and the toolsets. I keep the RM at the top and either window shade or use Common-R to reveal and hide.
  8. The Hardscape tool can also create floors. DTMs are useful to create natural stage platforms, or for outdoor events. These come immediately to mind
  9. EAP and NURBS Curves for the straight Wood. Loft for the wood that changes width. Subdivision for the cushions. You could use Subdivision for all.
  10. I just have to fill men out and drop in th email!
  11. I think a Marionette script could handle the random distro.
  12. Happy to Help. Let me know how it goes. I have the file I made if you need.
  13. So, I would Draw the triangle in plan, go to Modify>Convert>Convert to Subdivision. Start buy setting the subdivision iteration to a low number, like 0 in the ensuing dialog. Change to a front or side view. Select the edit subdivision tool in the 3D modeling toolset, first mode or operation (transform), select one corner. Hover over the dragger until eh Z axis turns yellow and drag up. Tab into the floating data bar and set a height. Remember, the triangle is the ground, so set the heights above the bottom for the heights from the low point of the swoop. Then I would raise the the thing. Alternately, you can raise the flat surface first. Changing views helps, working in OpenGL may help. Select the Split mode of the Edit Subdivision tool and select an edge. drag towards the center. Do the same with another edge. Use the transform mode to select the new center point. use the dragger to have the surface bow down in the middle. By default, the dragger is constrained to XYZ movement, although you can rotate those axis. For what you want, I don't think you want or need to do that. It's tricky at first, but once you get it, it all makes sense.
  14. or convert the triangle to NURBS, the old skol way
  15. I don't believe so, but it would be useful
  16. The Callout tool could use some love, but the Reconcile Notes Command helps IF everyone is properly using the database.
  17. I'm not sure you can reconcile notes as you suggest. Organizing a team is always a challenge. There need to be some rules about how and where notes are added to the database. On a recent project we saw duplication of notes and inconsistent use, so training is needed. One other issue I've seen is a Mac/PC thing with Dropbox. The Notes tool would 'lose' the link tot he database and s=need to have that link reset when a user switched platforms.
  18. if it's a VWX Notes database, store in the Workgroup folder or on a dropbox.
  19. I should think this would be easy enough with the LED tools. Best NOT to use Simple 3D.
  20. You might also consider AnimationWorks PIO.
  21. Sounds like a challenge. With a spotlight lighting device, I use the Spotlight preferences to adjust the color of the lens in Spotlight preferences, bu class and use the color field. I would think I could manipulate another type of symbol in the same way. The figures would have to be converted to lighting devices.
  22. Can't you simply change the Jamb Class in the Settings?
