  1. I Got this Revit file. How do I fully convert it so I have a site model that appears to be in shaded mode. Revit.vwx
  2. How do I stop the candy cane from showing up?
  3. I located some cap lights in a block wall and the light vector displayed in the correct location but the fixture was at 0 Z once I set the elevation the Light vector moved up and no longer displays properly. Whats the setting to make that work.
  4. I'm having trouble grasping how to scale the 2D component of this slab style. I've tried everything I can think of and can't get the 2d to view to scale. What's the path? Deck Slab Style.vwx
  5. Although I may change the name to Red Dragon Landscaping....The logo is ready to go🤣
  6. Yea thats all pretty clear. I need to dig into how to actually manipulate the blank worksheet as created from the resource manager instead of from the tool manager. My understanding is that it can be done both ways. My wheels are turning and I am discovering some minor efficiencies as we run through this by simply copy and pasting. I will be wrapping my brain around this....I'll be back soon.
  7. So If I grab an image off the web and simply ask AI to make a similar image will that work?
  8. Ok so the tidbit I pick up here is create the worksheet I want, then duplicate, then manipulate the data from there. I think I have made that happen a time or two I just need to get up to speed on it. I'm seeing the write ups on VW but they are all but useless to me...I don't have enough knowledge base to understand what they are describing there are too many gaps. I need digital training wheels.... You'll see the Xlsx sheet I created for the job. If I could create a worksheet that exports to Excel in a format similar to that that would be a step in the right direction. in other words can all the data I have on for my project xlsx be put on one worksheet and organized for an entire job then be exported? BidSheet.xlsx
  9. Hi Pat Here is the long version. I do residential landscaping which consists of pretty consistent items. If I could come up with a worksheet as a template that would pick up those items automatically instead of having to pick Common name, Latin name, Scheduled size, quantity and Price every time I want to do a report for every area I have defined by class. Lets say Back yard planting, back yard hardscape, front yard planting, front yard hardscape. That would be huge. So lets give it a shot. This is a bit out of my wheel house and I just don't find a ton of resources for landscape on how to be effective and efficient. If they exist I'm sure I could pick it up pretty quick...I do ok with excel but there are cheat sheets everywhere but it seems like VW is a bit more of cryptic. The file is uploaded What I really want to do is create a standard report to export to excel so I can sent the material lists to vendors and use to create estimates but aside from plant take offs it seems quicker to just do square footage measurements and manual calcs on excel. I'm hoping I'm wrong I want to go fast. The last viewport PL1 has the worksheets on it. Final3-3-25.vwx
  10. First I want to create a standard report that comes up the same each time. I also want to have it separate each work area. I normally separate the areas by class. I can't figure out, without creating separate reports for each area, how to do one report for an entire project and have each area broken out separately. It all gets comingled. I'm looking for a good video or instruction that up to date that's geared toward the landscape industry. Next step get it to jive with a preformatted excel file.
  11. Looks like a great Christmas gift coming for Landscape Artisans LLC! While I'm spending I'm also looking at site measurement and analysis tools, Emlid, Drones, Lidar ETC what are people using what opportunities does that type of equipment open up?
  12. I have made the decision to shift from PC to IOS. The question is do I wait and budget the dollars and make the shift all at once or is it feasible to do it piece at at time when cash is available. I phone then I pad then MacBook. I plan to do the high end of each device so it will a decent chunk of my office budget so the best execution is key. I also don't want to get bogged down in the learning curve while making the conversion without being able to dedicate the time (such as winter season). What's the best conversion process? Does PC get along with IOS well enough to convert in pieces? Whats the smoothest most cost effective transition? Has anyone else done it?
  13. Thanks Pat I sent a couple test files out so I think your correct so I'll work on updates. Maybe I need to go to windows 11 too.
  14. Really weird @Pat Stanford I just downloaded my own file and it shows up fine. I feel like I'm chasing a ghost. I went out on estimates at noon, I get back and rendering is fine now but that's still an issue. Attached is a screen shot of what the initial publish looks like. You opened the PDF as well as published from your machine and all was fine? See in Test (different file) the same thing with white stripes across the top of the patio. Option2.pdf That's weird option two pdf opens fine from here but emailed to my office is still corrupt.
  15. I have been dealing with this for a few weeks now across all projects in top plan only...3d is fine. As usual I'm guessing I have a setting off. I ran it through I love pdf and repaired it. It appeared to to be fine then reverted back. So something is off. Any advice is appreciated. View.pdfPV1-Plan View.pdf 2-18-25.vwx
