This isn't anything that changed recently as far as I know.

Sounds like you're looking for this setting:

Check the 3D Conversion Resolution setting in the Display tab, Advanced Section Properties.

A Data Tag can't 'see' inside a symbol but it can see inside certain PIOs. For example if you combine a Door + Window into a Door + Window Assembly you can use a Data Tag to either tag the Door + Window Assembly or (using Subpart Mode) the Door or the Window inside the DWA. In a similar way with a Wall you can either tag the whole Wall or (using Subpart Mode) the individual Wall Components. However if you are using VW2024 as per your signature you won't have access to DWAs or Subpart Mode for Data Tags. Your own symbol however you can only tag the symbol itself, not objects nested inside it.

Do you mean that your practice is to include the Sheet Number in the Viewport Name + you want to be able to move a Viewport between sheets + have the Viewport Name update automatically...? If so the closest I can suggest is @michaelk's excellent Rename Viewports script which can be found in this thread: I use it all the time.

Maybe only the ones who speak Italian + Portuguese as well 🙂

These are the settings that @Landartma actually wanted to apply to the post: As we've both said, switching these settings from by instance to by style will push them through to the Fences in the drawing.

That's interesting to know.

Albeit a 'rare + sometimes obsolete' one 😆. I think I'd have been very boring + just said 'combines' 🤣

The only thing for @Pat528 to watch is the interface between the Roof (top chord) + the Slab (bottom chord + insulation) as although a Wall + a Roof can interact with each other + a Slab + a Wall can interact with each other, a Slab + a Roof can't so they'll end up overlapping each other unless you manually clip the Slab using modifiers. (By interact I mean the objects can automatically clip each other or their components can extend + stop at points relative to the other object's components). But maybe overlapping is fine. Maybe you can get the top + bot chord to merge in section (in the viewport settings). But for me in this case I think I'd want the ability to show the whole truss in section (the webs), + turn it on + off independently + control its attributes independently, hence the symbol. I definitely wouldn't use the Attic function 🙂

Yes I have the spacemouse to the left of the keyboard + my cadmouse to the right (I'm right handed). It is the spacemouse wireless though, the small one, not the big one.

Where on earth did they get 'combinate' from...?!

Similar to what I said before about Gates, your fence panel is a 3D symbol so you need to edit the symbol geometry to change the attributes. If you put the geometry in a class + make sure it takes its attributes from that class this gives you a way to control the attributes from outside the symbol. Or just give the geometry the PVC Material if you know what you want + don't need to change it. These are your post settings: You have a Fence style but all the settings are by instance so what you have set for the style is not what you're seeing in the instance. You need to edit the 'Fence Settings' rather than the 'Fence Style' the way you've set things up. Or make all the settings by style. These are concepts/workflows that apply to all sorts of tools/objects in VW so not exclusively a Fence issue.

You need to add them to your Document Context menu not Object Context. 'Object Visibility Commands'.

But what you need to do is go into the settings for your Door or Window + in the 2D Visualisation pane put the 'Header' part in one class (e.g. 'Door-Header') + the 'Wall Lines' part in another class (e.g. 'Door-Wall Lines'). Now toggle each of those classes on + off + edit the attributes + it should be clear where the lines you're seeing are coming from. The Wall Lines geometry can also be completely turned off by setting it to invisible at all detail levels in the Detail Levels pane (which I'd advise doing, and just relying on the Header part if you want to do a RCP).
