I just realized that the smoothing angle for the Hidden Line render settings was at 1˚ so that was causing some of the lines not to render. The hatch is still not rendering in certain viewports though.

Sure thing. The file is attached below. Please let me know if there are any issues accessing the file. TNB Skybridge.vwx

I am using Vectorworks 2022 on a PC with Windows 10.

Hello, I have several viewports set up that are rendering in hidden line. I have 4 sets of viewports on one sheet and 4 sets on another sheet. One sheet renders a hatch and the sheet does not render the hatch. From what I can tell, the settings are the same and all classes that need to be turned on are turned on. Any ideas? Also, one sheet renders window openings on the exterior while the other sheet does not render the window openings. From what I can tell, the settings are all of the same. Any thoughts as to way? Please let me know if any of this is unclear. I attached a pdf of the viewports below. TNB Skybridge 2209.pdf

Hello all, I am currently working on modeling the site surrounding a house that I am working on. I am newer to Vectorworks so I am still learning how everything works and the most efficient way to do everything. I have run into an issue though. When I try to render grass on the site model, the grass is not showing. The amount of time the rendering takes compared to when the grass option for my render mode is turned off makes me believe it is rendering it but upside down. I saw a post on here where somebody ran into the issue of grass rendering below their site model or surface. I created a test file to make sure the texture I used would actually render grass and it did but it was upside down. Is there a way to change the direction grass renders for my site model? I was given survey data for the site model and have used site modifiers on the site. I am running Vectorworks Architect 2020 on Mac. Thank you for your time!

Thanks for the input and diagram! That really helps to visualize how to might tackle this.

Hello all, My firm just got a project where we are going to create several renderings for a local historic society. The group wants to raise support with these renderings to help restore the building and use it as a community museum. My firm purchased Vectorworks a while back but has not had the need to use the 3D side of it yet. Attached is a picture of the front facade of the building. It has a flemish bond with decorative brick pattern to the top of the parapet wall. What might be best to model in 3D the decorative brick pattern at the top? To model it accurately, it seems like brick by brick at certain point on the facade might be best option. This will definitely be a learning experience. Flemish Bond Facade.pdf

Hello all, Just as the title says, I have been working on a file that has a heliodon in it. When I turn on the layer that the heliodon is on, the file crashes. Has anybody had any issues with this in VW Architect 2020? I inserted one in a blank file and didn't have any issues. It's probably an issue with the specific file I have been working on but I hadn't had any issues with it until yesterday. Thank you for your help,

Thank you for explaining the difference there. I didn't realize that the two ran off separate components but that makes sense. Mac with a 4.2 GHz Intel Core i7 Graphics card is a Radeon Pro 580 8 GB

Hello, I had a quick question about an animation I created. I'm quite new to Vectorworks and ran into an issue when creating an animation. The Vectorworks window will flash white briefly throughout the animation. At some parts not at all and at some parts it will flash white quite frequently. I attached the movie file down below. I am rendering it on OpenGL High just to test the animation. When I created an animation using the Realistic Interior Final rendering style, the screen didn't flash at all for the quick walk-through I did. Has anyone experienced this problem for?
