[Arrowheads Showing up in Section Viewport]

Actually I just fixed this by selecting the viewport object and setting it to the "Make All Attributes By Class" option.

[Arrowheads Showing up in Section Viewport]

Hello, I cut a section through my project and the resulting line drawing is showing arrowheads at the corners and edges of the walls, I'm not sure why this is happening and I can't get rid of them.

 

[Can't click on objects]

This might help someone else, but I encountered a bug where I was unable to click on slab objects in the open GL mode.

The object was incredibly far from the origin point of the layer (like 100,00 feet away from 0,0). After moving the objects closer I was able to select my slab objects once again...

 

 

[Really weird File Opening problem]

I found that the Smart Sync feature on the dropbox file sharing service will cause the a .vwx file to not open and to post the "This is an unrecognized file" error message..

 

Upon switching the file from Smart Sync to Local, the file opens normally.

 

Hope this helps someone.

[Corner Window Glitch]

Vectorworks 2020 on PC.

All of my clerestory corner windows objects that are under 2'-0" in height do not connect in the 3D model at the corner.

I'm not sure when or why it happened but every corner window in my project is now offset from each other. It did not used to be like this.

Let me know if you are aware of any mistakes I may have made here.

 

***I just tried this in a new file and the same thing occurred. Something strange is happening with corner windows set to "Clerestory"

Turning off clerestory fixes the problem however I would like for my windows to display as single dashed lines in 2D. I'm curious to see if this happens with anyone else.

 

 

 

[Windoor ID tags not showing up correctly in Viewports]

I resolved this by checking the "Display 2D Fills" box and setting my ID tag class to None fill.

[Windoor ID tags not showing up correctly in Viewports]

I'm experiencing something like this in 2020. Have a look at my uploaded images. The viewport with hidden line rendering is mostly blank with stray text randomly scattered around.

 

Going into the design layer in orthagonal/hidden line rendering reveals more text but not all.

Open GL reveals all text on the ID's.

 

Not sure how to resolve this.

[texture hatch all over the place]

I think I figured it out, the objects that weren't taking on the hatch were actually "Solid Subtration" and "Solid Addition" objects. I think it's unfortunate that I can't simply hatch these objects and that they need to be strictly unmodified extrudes, as I enjoy using the push and pull modeling tools.

[texture hatch all over the place]

I'm having this issue as well. My extruded object (set to class styles) is placed in a class assigned with an RT texture, which is supposed to give it a 3D texture as well as a hidden line hatch. The extruded object displays the 3D texture fine in open GL, however the hatch does not come through in hidden line rendering. The object remains 100% opaque with no hatch.

 

I am using VW 2019 on windows 10.

[Beware of Navigation Graphics Settings]

This is still an issue that I've just experienced in Vectorworks 2019.

My hatches in an annotation layer would display incorrectly (larger) and would publish at a much smaller size.

The size of the hatches would change for a split second every time I zoomed in with the scroll wheel.
 

This was observed on both Mac and PC machines running OSX Sierra and the latest Windows 10.

 

This display bug was fixed upon switching to 'Good Performance and Compatibility' on both Mac and PC.

[Loss of renderworks options / Renderworks disappears]

Okay, I just remade the component from scratch and the issue resolved itself. That was really weird though. I'll make a new thread if this comes up again. 👍

[Loss of renderworks options / Renderworks disappears]

I've just opened this file on another Windows 10 PC as well as a 2014 iMac on Yosemite. This issue persists in both computers which also leads me to believe that my file is at fault.

[Loss of renderworks options / Renderworks disappears]

Yes, here is an image of the component class settings.

These are default settings and textures for the roof style named "Sloped Wood Struct Insul Spanish Tile".

I have converted these roof objects to unstyled.@zoomer

[Loss of renderworks options / Renderworks disappears]

This issue returned. Restarting my computer did not solve the issue this time.

Here are images.

 

The 2D representation of what appears to be the top component (Spanish Clay Tile) of my roof object is showing as a wireframed object.

This affects my hidden line render in my elevation viewport as well as my openGL render.

 

Just yesterday, these roof objects rendered as solid. I came into the office today and opened vectorworks to find that these objects were transparent.

 

I went back into a backup file not too long ago and found that these same roof objects behave normally.

 

These two files, one with transparent roof components and one with solid roof components, are open simultaneously.

 

This appears to be caused by a bug in the software as opposed to my own doing.

 

Let me know if you have a solution, or if I should be posting this to a different location on the forums.

 

Thanks,

Raymond

[Slab Line Visibility Issue]

This issue went away after making the slab objects again from scratch (polyline tool -> AEC -> Create objects from shapes -> Slab..

[Door Schedule Criteria]

@michaelk That worked perfectly, Thanks for your help Michael.

[Custom Wall Shapes]

Hey guys, I'm having a hard time shaping this wall with an elongated arched opening. Not a seg head and not round.

I have a wall with a squared opening, and I have modeled these two filleted extrudes to round out the corners.

However in elevation, these two objects, although they touch, still leave behind a line. I need the stucco component from the wall to combine with the custom extrudes in elevation.

 

I've looked online for help, however it still isn't clear to me how I would do this.

Thanks,
Raymond

[Door Schedule Criteria]

Hey guys, I'm trying to isolate my door objects that have the number "1" for its ID Label value.

However inputting this into the criteria window identifies objects that have 0, 1, 2, and 3 for their ID Label values.

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks,

Raymond

[Slab Line Visibility Issue]

Hey Guys, I'm having issues with my section viewport where a line from the a slab object is showing through a wall.

In the attached images, I've circled the three instances where a line appears where it should not.

 

I have tried moving the slab far beyond the wall, but the line still displays.

The line disappears when I delete the slab object and update the viewport.

 

The strange thing is, when I pull the clip cube away from the building for an elevation, the lines disappear. 

Let me know what you guys think the issue is.

 

Thanks,

Raymond

[Hand Rail Line Weight]

@Alan Woodwell Hey Alan, this worked. Thanks!

[Hand Rail Line Weight]

@Btreen The line weight for this class is already set to 0.13mm. I have tried changing it to 1.0mm from the class organization window. This has no effect on the handrail object when updating the section viewport.

[Hand Rail Line Weight]

Hey guys, I'm just trying to change the line weight of a hand rail object in the elevation/section viewport.

I'm sure this is possible, however I haven't been able to find the solution.

 

My desired lineweight is 0.13mm, however it displays thicker in elevation/section view.

 

I've included images of the OIP and attributes. The layer that the object is placed on is set to 0.13mm, but as you can see this is not the case.

Thanks,

Raymond

[Loss of renderworks options / Renderworks disappears]

It seems the issue went away after restarting my computer. So things are back to normal for now.

[Loss of renderworks options / Renderworks disappears]

Yes, I'm running VW 2018 on windows 10 professional and I am having this issue where my roof component texture is transparent. I would like to see if this update file would work for me, Thanks.
