Hello! I am trying to learn the ropes of all things BIM and have encountered an issue. No doubt this is something simple that I'm doing wrong but it has me stumped! When I instert a door into the wall as per the attached screenshots it is not cutting through all components of the wall as seen in the section screenshot. However in plan view it shows it's cutting all the way through. I have set the door to Be 'Full break with caps' and it still doesn't fully cut through. I have also tried flipping and changing the door type still to no joy. I even toggled extend jamb to wall width on and it didn't cut through the wall. Any help would be appreciated. Vectorworks - 2022 is what im running. File & screenshots attached as refernce. 2104 BIM Tester.vwx

Thank you for the help Tamsin, once I set the grade limit everything started working fine. I am pretty new to Site modelling and BIM in general so I will definitely check out the courses! Really enjoying using these new tools. I appreciate the quick reply, have a great day!

Also, I just noticed that the stakes still appear in the 'Existing only' view of the model and they are set to effect the 'Proposed model only.'

Hi All, I am trying to use stake tool modifiers on my proposed site model and keep getting modifier conflicts stating that 'Locus does not lie inside a Grade Limits Modifier.' Does this mean that I must make a grade limit modifier around each stake? I'm relatively new to site design. The site model was created using spot heights from a survey and the stake tool to insert these Z heights. I added roads as modifiers to the existing site model. When I went to add the different spot heights to the proposed model I keep getting the above error on every stake point. No idea how to resolve this. I used the stake tool site modifier as the heights vary along the roads / etc. in the proposed model so pads and contours wouldn't work. (I don't think!) Here is a screen shot of the errors. Any help or advice would be great. Daniel.
