I think you may be overthinking it. You need an image, the height of the curved wall, by the length. Likely set to a really low DPI, like 5 or 10. Map it to the wall, using a planar mode and it should do what I think you want.
-
IF I UNDERSTAND, you want to see the world outside the bathroom? Surround the bathroom with a curved wall, and made a plain old 2D image onto the wall. If the bathroom is a stand 8' or so, the wall and image need to be much taller and the curved wall needs to start below floor level. Or an image background
-
yes. makes for a messy plot, but inserting fixturescan be a three click process, one click to place, one to angle and a third to set. When assigned focus, they point in the top view.

any file can be sa ver as a template. go to file>save as template So, some folks have several, I try to keep one with my preferred tool settings. I just save over the old one as I modify. Then when I create a new doc I use the template. The FP tool preferences opens a dialog and Default Class for the object is a choice from a drop-down menu. I also choose the Standard Hybrid or a custom hybrid so the 2D goes away in renderings. I turn the class off on plots, the electricians do not need that info cluttering the drawing, but I want it on m copy of the plot In the class definition, I have one called LX-FP Objects. I have a color assigned and a text style. Once set up, I don't even think you need one floating around, save in the template file.
-
tool preferences. Save that setting in your template file. forget about it forever.
-
I think you can set a default Class for the FP, and assign the text style in the class definition. IIRC, that's exactly what I've done.

Spotlight - Lights turned on don't render in Section Viewports VW2019
Kevin Allen replied to BTMLD's topic in Rendering
Section VPs render in Hidden Line and don't show light, IIRC. -

No NURBS. I'm calling the top the ceiling. I might be wrong, but it has the arches. Put that on a layer above the walls. Dra the walls, select the walls, and use the command
-
explain how? The ceiling, assuming that's what you're fitting to, has to be on another design layer.
-
I just deleted the components of your walls and that got me released from the bounding. I have simple walls. If you want/need the components, add them back but base them on the wall height not the layer or the story.
-
I might have made many of those sold subtractions into simple extrudes. Maybe then repeating Symbols
-
Bounded Wall Styles are difficult to work around. Generally, I DO NOT use the VWX Wall Styles, When needed, I make my own. It seems that once one is introduced into a drawing, I think I have to start VWX to clear the bounding. I should have looked at the Class List.
-
I use Wordpress. In general, you'll likely have to show JPEGs, maybe PDF files and send VWX on request.
-
Wall thickness can be anything you like. Height can be set in a number of ways. Looks like the "Fit Walls to Objects Command is your friend here. Not sure how much this helps...
-
It's all a little hard to decipher, but ignore stories, just use design layers. I might, at least for now, class the floor and ceiling differently, OR put them on different design layers.
-
I would start with a 2D plan using add/clip surface. Probably add an array of Loci for the points on the ground and the top of the tent poles. Convert the 2D Plan or an extrusion to a Subdivision Object. Trace the plan you have You have t experiment a bit with the Iterations to get what you want. NOTE: you'll only need an extrusion if you want the tent material to have thickness. Then it's a matter of push/pull in subdivision.

Can you post the file?

Extrude along path
Kevin Allen replied to LeeElston's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Extrude Along path uses the center of the object. I usually draw the 9th and then offset by the width divided by two. Or the Moulding PIO. -
agree about Savvy Linesets. THE solution.

I'm not sure this possible.

solid ball and solid white, line weight would have to be a consideration.

I'm wondering why either through the component definition or a Class override for a SLVP that can't be graphically clear? I'm guessing you have (essentially) a study wall with gyp board on both side. I'm further guessing that each side is a different type of gyp board. So, could one have a hatch, and one a white fill? Could they have colored fills?
