  1. True to fashion, I figured out this issue immediately after I posted this. I had checked a setting in the past which flattened everything into 2D.
  2. I think that I am somehow exporting a file to dwg improperly. I have imported a survey into Vectorworks. The survey had some errors which I corrected in Vectorworks. I exported the corrected survey into a dwg file so that I can import it into Sketchup. The import failed, so I checked the exported DWG by importing it back into Vectorworks. The topo lines are almost entirely missing. Also, I am currently using Vectorworks 2021. The original dwg imports into Sketchup properly, but I really need to have those changes to the survey. I have attached the exported DWG Vallecito for Sketchup 090122.dwg
  3. I upgraded to Vectorworks 2021 and the problem has been resolved! Thanks again!
  4. We were already going to upgrade to 2021, so this would not be the reason why, necessarily. I am interested in sending the file to Vectorworks Support. How do I do that?
  5. Thanks for responding! Usually, I get e-mails when people respond to my post, but I didn't get an e-mail for this one, so sorry for the late reply. Yes, I am still in 2019 and I have not updated to Big Sur. I will be updating in the next couple of weeks to the most recent Vectorworks. My current copy is up to date. I have been wondering if the update will fix this problem. My only conundrum is that this issue is currently not happening in my other models. It seems to be unique to this model.
  6. I have built a model that initially showed all textures accurately in the elevation viewport. However, after a few days, the textures do not show up in the viewport. Some walls show up and some don't. Each time I refresh the viewport the material rendering will change or it won't change. Certain walls will render and others won't. Then I'll refresh the viewport, causing other walls to render and the walls with texture will then go blank. I am assigning textures by layer in the components. I have built about 4 models so far and have never had this issue before. Thanks in advance!
  7. Okay, someone solved the issue. There were some wonky settings on the Rendering tab. I didn't think to look at that.
  8. I have created about 3 Vectorworks models, and I am in the process of creating a fourth one. I have created my walls in the same manner as I have always done, but my textures and hatches are not showing up in open GL and in my elevation drawings. I grabbed a wall from an old model and pasted it in my new model. The textures and hatches show up on this wall in my new model. I have analyzed every feature and can't figure out what is different between the walls. I even used the eyedropper to give the characteristics of the old wall to my new model. The textures and hatches still do not show up in the new model. This is so confusing and frustrating! I have attached a picture of my model and the one wall that will render properly in open GL. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
  9. I opened my file today and the numbering on each sheet has changed. The numbers now start at around 20 and go up. Also, the interior elevation tag, which auto-coordinates with the interior elevations has the correct numbers. Does anyone know what happened and of there is an easy fix? Thanks!
  10. There is something going on with my computer where my files won't open because they are damaged. It has happened three times in three different files in the past 5 work days. Unfortunately, the backup files have been corrupted as well, so I have had to use the "time machine" on Dropbox to find a good file to use and then redo my work. I can't keep doing this every other day. Can anyone help me understand how my files are getting corrupted in the first place? I would like to get past this. Thanks! P.S. In searching through deleted backup files, I have found that some of them might not be saving properly. The size of the file will drop from around 110 MB to 100 MB. I am not purging or deleting anything, os this doesn't make sense.
  11. I am working on a house that has vertical siding that runs continuously from the first to second floors. I have applied a texture (and hatch) to my model that does not line up when it transitions from one floor to another. I have aligned the texture to the "z" coordinate, which fixes the problem in the design layers (attachment 1), but does not consistently fix the problem in the viewport (attachment 2). How do I get the siding to line up throughout my model? Thanks!
  12. I am having a couple of issues with my interior elevations and I was hoping someone could help. First of all, my interior elevation tag is a bit off. It seems like the marker has skewed so that it is too close to the 2 and the sheet number is off center. My second problem is that there are these lines extending below the interior elevation. I have changed the settings so that the elevation starts at the F.F.E., so how could these lines be extending below that? I can mask it, but it would save me time if I could just fix the problem. Thanks!
  13. Since you are so knowledgeable, Boh, I have a question. Still working on elevation. Is there any way to apply a grey to a model other than in annotations. Specifically, I am trying to change the glazing to grey. My firm likes grey windows. I have been able to apply a texture to the glazing layer which then shows a hatch, but I haven't been able to shade them grey. I have attached an elevation where I changed the window to grey by drawing a black rectangle in annotations and changing the opacity. I have tried changing the class opacity of the glazing class (within the class) but I keep coming out with black windows.
  14. Thank you so much for this! I this has helped tremendously and has helped me improve my rendering skills significantly.
  15. Thanks so much for your suggestion. I figured out the problem when I was working in another file. Somehow, when I import the topography from another file, this happens. All I have to do is turn of the class that the topography is on. The problem goes away.
