Aha ok, thanks! Any clue where I can find them by any chance? I thought they were a part of VW's earlier edition, or am I wrong?

Hi, I've seen some people use beMatrix parts in their designs. I can't find the objects in VW. Where can I find a library of these parts if not in VW? I'm on VW24. Thanks!

I'm on the same search. Any luck?

@DBruhnke That made sense! Now it works! Thanks!!

Thanks! It still doesn't work on my end. I've set the object to "Closed" and connected all lines. I've also changed the fillet radius to several different sizes (I even tried that before without any success). I must be missing something really obvious here...

Hi, I must have forgotten something important because I can't fillet these polylines' edges. Am I stupid or am I missing something? File for download below. Thanks! Untitled 1.vwx

I found this out as well. You need to have the class you want to use for data tags active when adding data tags. In my case I had another riser class active and it pasted the risers from that class onto my sheet, which I didn't want. Took some time to figure this one out....

If I create a symbol I can't use the stage deck tool any more right? I thought about that as well, but had second thoughts since I'd need a lot of symbols for different heights and combinations...

I've thought about that, but I want to have it super clear what each risers' height is. I might end up doing both of them in the end 😃 Color and height info.

Yes I am..

I must do something wrong because I only get a (!)-symbol... Any clue why this is?

Thank you! Can I batch-do this with every stage deck in the drawing, or do I have to make them one by one? I'd like this feature to be default and for the Data tags to be on a specific layer as well. Can I implement this at the time of putting the decks on the drawing? Many thanks! Martin

Hi, I'm trying to show my stage decks-heights on a sheet layer, but adding a linked text from a record doesn't work as far as I understand. I tried to use the "Text Option" dialogue box -> activate Height, but that makes the text too small and doesn't align with the riser. Any tip on how I can do this better? Thanks!

Thank you!

Many thanks!!

Ah, that's a good one. I'll try this one out straight away 😃 Thanks!!

Hi again! Would you by any chance have a clue what's going on? Am I just a rookie here or is something not really straightforward with vertical trusses? Now I'm working on a vertical LED GS system but every time I attach the truss to the base it flips upside down, and hence put the truss below the actual base plate. I'm thinking, might @jcogdell have a clue since you're the master of trusses 😃 ? Many thanks all!

So nice! Great stuff! Thanks!

@Kevin McAllister , @bcd and @markdd you guys are just the best. So many thanks!!! I really want to learn how to model stuff in 3D more and this info got me started. Warm regards! Martin

No clue about that unfortunately.

I'm probably mega stupid now @markdd, but I don't really follow, so sorry. Do I reference the "Master Symbol" vwx-file inside the venue drawing I'm working on? Do I do that via the References-palette? Until now I've drag'n'droped the symbol I want to use from my symbol file, but then it just makes a copy. In my case I have a folder named "Customers" with all my drawings in. I also have a folder named "Symbols" with my Symbols.vwx in. I want all drawings inside my "Customers" folder to look for master-symbols inside the Symbols-file. I wouldn't be surprised if you already answered this and that I'm just lost 😃 Many thanks! /Martin

Wow! Thank you so so much for helping me out! I’ll try this today! @markdd for president!

Thank you so much for taking the time to shot the video @markdd! Much appreciated! I managed to get as far as you showed but the real struggle starts when I want to make a simple 3D model based on the lines I now got from the pdf. Extruding the floor isn’t a problem, I’d say the roof is the hardest. Since the roof has a lot of curves I guess the Nurbs tool would be a good start, or what’s your take? From this view that we got, how would you do? Again, thank you so much for taking the time and effort! Martin

Yes exactly! But I put them all gathered around the 3D locus so they share the XY 0. Hope that make sense 😃 I'd love to see what you come up with. So thankful!! Martin

Hey all! I'm trying to draw a 3D stage of a 2D drawing I got for a stage. I've put everything in order in 3D with a 3D locus, just like I saw @markdd do on one of his videos on YT (So educational!). But, I can't figure out how and where to start.. any thoughts or tips? I've tried the Nurbs-curve but I guess I'm too bad a using that tool since I can't get it right 😃 Looking forward to hear your thoughts on this! The 2D Drawing is attached here. Many thanks!
