Hello everyone 👋 I have a problem with the function "Enable cut plane at layer elevation" in Vectorworks 2021. When I try to change the height of the cut plane in the "Edit design layer" window, the cutting view does not change from the default one. I will attach here under some pictures to better explain the problem: In the first picture you can see the 2D plan view without any customized cut plane elevation In the second one you see the settings that are enabled to a height of 1200mm In the third picture you can see that nothing appears to change How do I solve this? I thank you in advance for your help 🙂

Great! Thank you very much!

Hello everyone, is there a way to set the 3D preview as I wish, so when I open it I don't have to change the settings anymore? I am working on a 3D model, so I would like to have all the 3D previews in OpenGL mode and Right isometric view. The problem is that all the time I open the window settings or the door settings, I have to change the view and the rendering mode every single time, and if I have many windows or doors this can become an annoying and slow process. Thank you in advance!

@Matt Panzer It worked! My problem was that the 'Auto display detail legels for design layers' was unchecked. Thank you very much for your precious help!

@Renaud I was answering to @drelARCH about the 'Data Visualization' tool

@drelARCH I still use VW 2020 (Mac version), do you know how can I find this tool also in version 2020 (or even if there is)? This is however very strange because, as I answered already to @Renaud, some months ago I could visualize those objects in high details and I don't remember using 'data visualisation' for that. It just showed the details automatically based on which settings I choosed when creating.

@Renaud I do not understand, you mean that I have 2 different detail precisions in the same drawing and for this reason I cannot have detailed windows? I think it would not make sense in my case, because I have detailed walls right now and so it should show detailed windows as well. And however some months ago I had no problems in showing high detailed windows on sheet layers. If the high detail precision worked inside the window settings, I could see exactly the same thing on the sheet layer once I pressed 'ok'.

Hello @Kevin K, yes I meant sills, sorry about that, english is not my first language

Hello Matt Panzer, thank you for your help. As you can see from the pictures attached, in the window settings everything appears as I want, but after clicking 'ok' The result is a window showing little details. Do you know how to solve this problem? Thank you and have a good day.

Hello everyone, I have an issue with the representation of windows in 2D Plan view. When I set the windows in high details, to even show their glass thicknesses, the windows appear in 2D and in the sheet layers exactly as I see them in the window preview of the windows settings. No problem whatsoever. When I reached a more detailed drawing during the design process, I needed to show different parts of the walls (like insulations and so on). The consequence of this is that in 2D Plan view, under the windows, I could see all the wall layers. To cover them I then decided to give to each window a threshold, so in the plan view the threshold could hide the wall layers underneath. The problem is that when I apply a threshold to a window, the window looses all the high details automatically, even when in the window settings the preview is showing both the threshold and the high detailed window. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Thank you 🙂
