  1. I have a complicated logo in Adobe Illustrator.  I'm trying to transfer the logo to vectorworks in order to create a layout for a neon sign to be created from it, I would like to extrude it to create multiple views of the sign.  So far every time I import It is converted to 100 someodd objects that many of which cannot be extruded due to intersecting lines.  Now going in and editing each problematic line is an option but would be very time consuming.  Additionally I have tried extruding within adobe illustrator but when I export it no long has its 3d information and I am left with just polylines.  Does anyone know of a method for me to bring either the extruded adobe version or how I can extrude without editing each individual polyline? Other possible methods of accomplishing this? I have about 30 of these to do and the timeline would be near insurmountable to edit lines 3000+ times.

     

    Thanks

  2. I have had this issue on an irregular basis.  I am in one tab with multiple documents open, I click on the second tab and my view adjusts to the 2nd documents view however I cannot do anything at this point. All assets in navigation and object info remain in 1st documents views.  I cannot navigate anywhere within 2nd document.  Additionally cannot save 2nd document unless 1st document is closed.  Are there any known fixes to this issue or work arounds so I can still have 2 documents open to work between without closing and restarting vectorworks?

  3. Kept trying things.  Section solids through the plug made the hole but it then changed the qualities of all of the legs so they are no longer hollow but now are solid and changed the color/removed the texture on the object.

  4. I have a Stage plug built that I need to put a turntable inside.  Is it possible to put a hole inside of a stage plug from the stage plug tool?  I have placed the cutouts in the 2d components and made it part of the polyline path but neither placed holes in the 3d view of the plug.  I also tried to create a solid subtraction with a cylinder to create the hole to no avail.  Does anyone know if this is possible?
