[DTM crashing 11.5]

I am using 11.5 by the way

[DTM crashing 11.5]

greetings

I am attempting to do excercise 2 in the landmark training CD, which is a terrain model from data provided by VW, and I get misc error message 20, 1.

I have followed the directions to the letter numerous times. I cannot get past the first instruction for this excercise. I am on a PC running windows xp

Thank you

[image props where?]

The training cd says that a variety of image props are provided with Render Works. Where are these files stored please?

Thanks

[image size for image prop VW 11.5]

What is the maximum image size for an image prop in VW 11.5 please

[mismatched layers in viewport]

yes i found that the scale was different on one layer so I was able to correct that. Also setting the class visibility for the tree symbols fixed that problem. I don't know how i suddenly got one layer at a different scale but none the less, all is well. Thank you

[mismatched layers in viewport]

two problems I've not encountered in searching the archives:

1. after creating a viewport my landscape layer does not match up with my architectural layer

2. trees won't render in the Arch layer, they remain in an outline. I have set the class and checked the "draw in 3D" box

[bordering beds]

I am using short 6" masonry walls to create borders or curbs around the plant beds. is this the best way?

[landscape walls (best tool) PC]

This is another way:

Create the wall and the symbol as Robert describes above. Then select both objects in Top/Plan view and follow the directions for "Subtract Solids" on page 11-16 of the V11 user guide

[site model/properties max/min auto set]

the max and min elevations (site model-properties window)for site model are set automatically from the data input by user. user changes this from the auto setting if needed.

Robert

thanks you where right about max/min elevations although this has not solved the problem.

Next I will try create a site model using stake objects with elevations from the bench marks on the paper map thank you

[misc error 20, 2 - Landmark 11 Win]

Greetings, I am back again with the same problem. I am generating a new DT model and even after converting all dtm points to class "none' I am getting the misc. error m,essage 20,1.

Robert wrote me: "mark, I was able to get an existing site model by doing the following: 1. run Site model command 2. Click "existing + proposed" button then "existing" again 3. Click OK 4. Show your classes Looks like a bug in the handler for this dialog."

I tried this and I got a single point dtm with a 0" (zero quote mark)beside it.

What to try next?

[landscape walls (best tool) PC]

What is the best way to create a masonry garden wall (non-retaining)? Is there any advantage for using the VWLandmark wall tool over the VWArchitect wall tool?

I then want to cut portals through the wall; large circles cut through the wall to allow viewing beyond. What tool is best for this cut?

Thank you

[misc error 20, 2 - Landmark 11 Win]

Thanks Robert this works fine

Mark, the loci are being incorrectly classed by the Grid Entry command.

It's a bug that I'll get fixed. In the meantime, simply select the 49

loci created by the command and set their class to "None". Now you should

have no problem with the DTM.

Thank you - I sent the file by email

[misc error 20, 2 - Landmark 11 Win]

I just re entered the data by grid method in a new document and still got the error 20,1

[misc error 20, 2 - Landmark 11 Win]

none Robert, I am generating a model for the first time

[misc error 20, 2 - Landmark 11 Win]

I also get the same misc. error 20, 2 when I run "check 3d polys" on the Mod-site-DTMdata layer - but I count (the computer counts) only 49 points of my 7 X 7 grid?

[misc error 20, 2 - Landmark 11 Win]

I got it,

I have 49 points and none have the same xyz value, so now what?

[misc error 20, 2 - Landmark 11 Win]

meaning no two data points have the same value or that data points are doubled for a given point?

[misc error 20, 2 - Landmark 11 Win]

What does misc. error 20, 2 mean? I get it using Landmark to Site Model from the Grid Method. I have 49 grid points entered

[VLM 11 Win DTM Grid Method]

I am getting very tiny grids when entering my data by way of the grid method. I want to create a DTM using 49 points covering 1 acre.

When using the Grid method for creating a DTM what is meant by "grid spacing" in the "point entry grid set up" window? Is this the size of the grid on my paper or the size of the DTM to be created on the project layer?

Is there a minimum number of points for DTM by grid entry method?

["Resource unavailable"]

my OS is windows XP

["Resource unavailable"]

I am running Vectorworks Arch/Landmark 9.5.1 and have started to get regular messages saying "a resource is unavailable". It started while printing to an epson stylus 1520 but continues now with just opening a mcd file. Suggestions?

[format and print quality]

I can find no print services in Tucson that can open a Vectorwork's file so I save each sheet as a tiff or jpg or pdf and take those files to the printer.

When using these formats is their a reduction in image quality (resolution)? Would the printing be better if the printer used Vectorworks viewer or had a Vectorworks program?

I have read other's postings and know to ask the printer to increase resolution to 600 dpi but I am still curious about this question.

Thank you
