  1. Hi Guys,

     

    I was wondering if there is a way to display the sheets in a numerical order? 

    Just to clarify, I am referring to the drop down window below, not the sheet organization window.

     

    Thank you

  2. Hi Guys,

    I was wondering what are you using to create downpipes (3D). 

    I have used different tool, but not really happy with any of them. 

    I found it very disappointing that in VW2020/21 there is still no simple tool to create and connect the rainwater pipes. 

     

    Any suggestions?

     

    Thank you 

  3. Hi guys, 

    I am struggling to create a driveway ramp as per attached pdf and dwg. 

    The ramp has different grade sections and falls in several directions. (Not an easy simple ramp) 

     

    I only have VW architect module, dont have the landscape tools. Tried using the roof face tool and the roadway tools, but Im not sure how to create falls in several directions. 

     

    Perhaps one of you can help?

  4. Hi All, 

    I am really struggling understanding the viewport display settings in VW.

    I have attached two elevations of my project. Both elevations have the same settings,

    yet the topography appears different. (black fill vs grey).

     

    The grey fill is achieved with a section display control class. However both of the elevations have the same settings.

    Any ideas?

  5. Hi Guys, I have an issue with my elevation. I have overridden the 3d window glass class to a "blue fill".

    The windows on the lower floor have changed to "blue" as I wanted however, the windows on the upper floor remain grey. 

    The settings are the same for all windows. I cant explain why this is the case. 

    Even when a copy the "blue" window from the lower level to upper floor- the issue still remains. 

     

    Another question: Is there a way to set the whole viewport to say 20% opacity?

  6. Thank you guys, however my my site model doesnt change any appearance regardless of what class I assign or change. 

    I have checked the viewport settings as well to make sure there is no overwriting happening. 

  7. Hi Guys,

    I have created the topography of my site,

    however I dont know how to change the settings to make it to "look" nicer. 

    Basically I am looking for the site surface to be a solid green colour, the cut line (in section) in thicker black colour and the cut section (fill) in a solid brown or grey colour. 

     

    Perhaps one of you could help?

  8. Hi Guys, 

    I need to export an IFC file of the attached project and I was wondering if someone could please explain the export settings to me? What are the best settings?

    I have tried exporting the model as is, however the file created is empty with no information visible.

     

    thank you

  9. Hi Guys,

    I work on large multi residential projects and my file sizes are always very big (about 250MB), 

    I was wondering how do you handle large projects without being frustrated with slow performance?

    When I cut a simple section, it can take up to 10-15 minutes to generate the section. Is this normal?

    I do not have complicated 3d geometry objects or such. 

     

    I also do a lot of interior documentation and fit-out. Do you reference your files or do you keep everything in one file?

    Will referencing the files speed up to VW performance?

    I was wondering if anyone would be willing sharing their VW project to show me the structure of the layer, sheets etc.?

     

    Thank you

  10. Hi All,

     

    I was wondering if someone could please explain the visibility options and settings to me?

     

    Say, I have a structural beam in my project. I want to be able to see the beam in section with a hatch perhaps, but only dotted in my floor plan.

    How can I set the settings to achieve this? How do I override the settings for one particular viewport?

     

    Thank you

  11. Hi All,

    my VW file is set to mm in UNITS and therefore my Benchmark Elevation Tool refers to 175300 for example. 

    I was wondering if there is an option to set the Benchmark Elevation to 175.300 (to insert a decimal point for meters) for example without changing the documents settings?

     

    Thank you

  12. Hi Guys, I am using VW Architect and noticing a very slow performance. 

    When i create elevations for example, it takes a very long time to update the viewports. 

    I do not work on huge developments and I have a powerful PC.

     

    Anyone else experiencing the same issue? Any suggestions?

     

    Thank you

  13. Hi Guys,

    could some one please explain the opacity and transparancy in VW?

     

    Lets say I have some buildings on site I want to show at 50% opacity? The buildings are created with extrusions. The opacity should be shown in 3d and some of the

    viewports(and only for a particular building, not the whole viewport)TEST.vwxTEST.vwx but not on my 2d floor plans?

     

    Another situation would be the joinery. In some of the projects I have to show the joinery with a 30-50 % opacity to focus on the architecture. Obviously joinery objects

    have different classes, however is there a way to set all classes to a certian opacity level?

     

    thank you
