    Add Surface Gremlins

    in Troubleshooting

    hey guys missed u

     

    Here are two solids:

    When I click to add solids, I get this nonsense:

    Oddly, when I hover over the object, I still see the original, clean Bézier curves:

    My next thought was - Shaded renderer is on low. Switched it to high. Still have same issue. When I click into it, it shows the bez points correctly, too:

    This means that this is probably a render error of some kind. 

     

    At different zoom levels, it sometimes looks like this, too:

    Any thoughts here? So bizarre. 

    Worksheet Locked?

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Content is NDA (classsssic)

     

    What I can tell you is, if I create a new report with the same settings, I can modify cells and then it'll update the cells on my original, locked report. This is fine for now. 

     

    **scratches head**

     

    I can click the cells, format them, etc, but I can't modify the content in the cells. very weird. 

    Detail Viewports Not Working (?)

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    🤦‍♀️ Been a minute since I used Detail Viewports, but every time I try to make one, regardless of source VP, I get this error:

     

    VP source already has a crop (because, duh)

    VP source - have tried all different kinds of render types

    VP source - have removed all other VP links (like section markers)

     

    Where are the droids I'm looking for?

    Opacity Layer Overrides

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Ortho view, hidden line.

     

    I want to make certain layers (I.e., "Venue") appear in Hidden Line any render view, but I want the opacity of those line weights/solids/etc to be brought way down. 

     

    Obvious thought is to bring the opacity down in overrides, but that doesn't seem to change anything... is this a problem with hidden line shaded all render types?

    Custom Numbers In Calculated Worksheet

    in Troubleshooting

    You guys are the best!

     

    @michaelk Do a manual spreadsheet rather than a report w/ database rows works perfectly. 

     

    I have fixed number of spares, rather than a percentage, so instead of referencing a percentage cell, I'm just putting in a number. All of my objects that I'm counting are symbols so that works great. 

     

    I don't understand the "'Don''t Count These'" in the formula and the "L" - my stuff still calcs properly with this, but wondering what this is.

     

    Switching Viewport Views With Crops

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    A fixed reference for a viewport would solve this annoying series of work around we've all developed. 

     

    @Mark Aceto your thinking about assigning any viewport a position of 0,0 so when the angle changes, the model position doesn't, is a great idea. 

     

    @Boh I am using ortho views, but only for isos. Using section VPs for everything (left, right, front, back) is a timesaver and a technique I'm just starting to use. It's nice to have the section references on a top view, but not strictly necessary for my purposes. Good workflow adjustment for me.

    2.1 through 2.4 are calculated from Records. I want to add a column that is Extras Spares and then a sum Column that calculates the total.

     

    Column 3, 4 are manually added as they are spares not on the plot. 

     

    I want to manually put in spare #s in column C that are calculated from records, but it won't let me. Is there a way to do this? 

     

    Also the =SUM isn't working for total units for 2.1 through 2.4. It's calculating as "1" 

     

    Help? thx

    Switching Viewport Views With Crops

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    This has been driving me nuts for years. 

     

    I make a viewport, crop it, annotate all nice and then I want to duplicate that VP and change the view, say from LEFT to RIGHT. 

     

    Now my crop has to be moved. 

     

    I know I can make a new VP via a design layer and it'll do the things I want, but then I have to redo all my annotations. 

     

    Seems like a pain either way. 

     

    Is there some secret recipe out there somewhere that allows me to: change a view of a viewport and the crop intelligently re-adjust to the new view? would probably save me hundreds of hours over the years...

    Clip Cube Wireframe Viewport (?)

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Dumb question - so dashed hidden line in section view kind of does what I achieve, but if there's a lot, say, behind the room where my section is, how can I easily hide it rather than class every damn little thing? That's what I was trying to do by using clip cube lolol.
