    Hardscape - texture

    in Site Design

    Posted

    Hi,

    I'm having strange problem. No matter whatever I try, changing the hardscpae setting, changing the top component of slab, or OIP>Texture setting, the hardscape's 3D texture remains solid white. It just doesnt change. I want to change it to grey tiled sort of texture. Nor does it let me change the name of the hardscape. What am I missing here? Thanks for helping

    Plant style error - Attn VW employees

    in Site Design

    Posted

    Hi,

    I have been trying to find out posts on this forum about an error that I'm getting - "The plant's 2D and 3D graphics are corrupt and have been replaced with a 2D locus and a 3D locus". There seems to be many posts from various users getting the same problem/error message but there hasn't been any to the point replies that answers the reason of this. Can VW please resolve this issue? So, basically I had created various plant styles and the file was working absolutely fine. But suddenly, now when I double click on the newly created plant styles, the 2D and 3D component disappears and only loci are left. The plant style already in VW libraries is working fine though. Pls find attached the file. Thanks.

    @Benson Shaw Checked all this, still I'm facing exactly the same problem. For e.g. in the attached file, when I double click on 'Amelanchiar La Poma' Plant instance and go to edit 2D plant graphics, the whole of plant's 2D disappears. Why is this happening?

    Also, when I try to copy the plant symbol and paste on new document, nothing comes up except the plant annotation and insertion point.

    Thanks for the help

    Hi, I am trying to design this bench with wooden top & steel legs (so different textures on both). Then I want to save this as symbol, so that I can scale it up or down to suit the size I need. How do I go about this? If I do solid addition, all the solid test.vwxchange to one texture. If I group it and create the symbol, the scale change moves the position of legs. Thanks for helping.

    Hardscape construction details

    Hi,

    Can someone please help me with resolve 3 problems in constructing this hardscape?

    1. Is it possible to change the size of yorkstones (650mm x 450mm) used for the paving, so that the changed size shows on top/plan and Side view as per the scale?

    2. Is it possible to change the jointing width (again showing as per scale on top plan and side view)?

    3. In the front view of hardcape, rather than coloured texture of slab components, is it possible just to show the black & white rendering as it shows for the slab on the Resource manager

    OMG! You have made it look so simple. I was trying for almost half of the day yesterday, just learning to build Helix... This is amazing. Can you please explain the steps you followed, so that I can learn how to go about such 3D modelling. Also, I dont know which version is the file in, but cant open it. I use VW 2019.

    Thank you so much for help. Really appreciate it. Any suggestion on good tutorial on how to use these spiral tools? I looked on youtube, but nothing explains in detail.

    Thanks once again

    @jeff prince You completely right. Maybe the term I am using is wrong. Yes it is the military oblique I am after

    @zoomer Thats so true that this projection looks awful practically. But I suppose the educational courses go for 90/45/45 look because it is easiest to draw by hand and the idea is to teach how to go about drawing these projections by hand. So, have you nailed this projection in VW (i mean 90/45/45)? How do you go about it? I have tried my best and looks quite close but still not perfect.

    Thanks both
