  1. I wish roofs could recognize stories and their levels. I've got an addition project where I have two different plate levels. It would be nice to have the roof object recognize those levels. Thanks, Rudy Beuc
  2. And now, for some strange reason, it works as desired.... Thanks, Rudy Beuc
  3. I think I've found a bug. Door Threshold exterior extension appears as desired in preview window but not in the model. In the model the extension appears to extend from the center of the door and not the edge. Thanks, Rudy Beuc 2024-03-20 15-26-02.mkv
  4. Well, I guess I'll be waiting for update 4...
  5. Ok, It's a sink base. Derived from the Merrilat Masterpiece plugin. How do I eliminate that top shelf? Thanks, Rudy Beuc
  6. <<Another thing I do a lot is to copy a Section Line, delete it, then it paste in place. This gives me a duplicate unlinked version of the SL which I can do whatever I want with (e.g. move or scale the markers) without affecting either the VP or other instances of the SL. You can then use the 'Linked Viewport' parameter in the OIP to relink it to the VP which means it will take its sheet + drawing number from the VP + will update automatically if you change those details.>> Later this week I'm going to see if I can monkey with callbacks to get the results you're going for here... Thanks, Rudy Beuc
  7. Ok, thanks to your suggestion guiding me, I got the desired results. But not in a manner I expected. You were right, but that dashed scope box with the section line had been throwing me for a loop. Being familiar with and migrating from another BIM software, I expected that scope box (displayed in plan in the illustrations below) to be a hard visual indication as to the what the extents of the viewport would be when updated. Having played with the line, annotations, and crop box, it works as desired now. I will now ignore that scope box... Thanks, Rudy Beuc The desired result...
  8. Is there any way to decouple the length of a section line from the width of a section view? Had this functionality in a previous software... I'd like it to appear like this - Not like this... FYI, I got the desirable result shown above by manually drawing the line. That is not a method I really want to implement. Thanks, Rudy Beuc
  9. I still want to use the default level in other places. That move would delete it totally from the project. Thanks, Rudy Beuc
  10. But I want it gone entirely.... It is unchecked, but it won't go away... Thanks, Rudy Beuc
  11. I mad a mistake and need to delete a level in my story system. How do I do that? Thanks, Rudy Beuc
  12. I could live with a slow steady sync, just get it all and give me some feedback about progress. If I could organize it all in individual folders while on the jobsite, perhaps it could upload in digestible pieces. Right now the situation is untenable. Thanks, Rudy Beuc
  13. Just tried to use my Ipad & Nomad again today for measuring up work. Nomad really needs to be able to add folders and organize information when offline and on the jobsite. I also need better tools for syncing when back and connected. All of the *.HEIC files uploaded but none of the *_gravity.txt files did. Having to do that file by file now... Thanks, Rudy Beuc
  14. <<But you can do this with back referencing in a drawing label. >> How would one do this? My attempts have failed so far. Thanks, Rudy Beuc
  15. I guess it should read "Sheet were Detail Drawn", "First Sheet Where Cut". These section mark and parameters have been used by my office and family for decades. At least since 1961. It helps navigate through a set of sheets. Was able to do this automatically in Revit and ACAD. Is there at least a manual way to accomplish this? Thanks, Rudy Beuc
  16. Still working on migrating things. I'm trying to recreate a section label we've used for decades. One of the pieces of information I can't get displayed yet is "Sheet First Cut" in Section labels. How do I create a custom attribute or field for a "smart marker"? Thanks, Rudy Beuc
  17. Ok I ended up creating all the gutters and facias using the "extrude along path" method. However I find this workflow very manual, finicky, and very time consuming, and therefore really not desirable. As a single practitioner, time is a precious resource. Since the first post, I've noticed that this feature has been asked for for many years. Why It hasn't been implemented, I don't know. But I do have a second idea that I believe could work just as well. It could also work for other disciplines for other purposes. It would be a new modeling function called "extrude along picked edge". A profile could be drawn or picked from the resource manager. If picked from the resource manager as a 2d symbol, it's insertion point would be used as the origin for the extrusion. when implemented, one would pick the profile or profile symbol, and then pick a series of edges along a model for the extrusion. If the new path could be associated with the picked edges, the extrusion would adjust position as changes are made to the hose object. A flip x axis and flip y axis option for the profile would be needed for adjustments if the extrusion needed to be reversed along the path. combined with a shell option this could work great for metal wall copings. This would also work great for curbs, wall trim, and ect... Thanks, Rudy Beuc
  18. Please fix the roof fascia tool. I tried to place facia on a roof after it was created and cannot figure out how to get it inserted correctly. Please create insertion options for the facia option for roofs. This way perhaps I can get them to work as desired. Thanks, Rudy Beuc
  19. Ok, what's up? Why can't I choose a window out of the Marvin Window Catalogue? Why can't I choose out of other catalogues? Why is the choice disabled? Thanks, Rudy Beuc
  20. Got all my files sync'd, finally. Had to go full manual and brute force it with the web interface, my desktop, and my ipad open to check each file individually. Took a few hours. Tried pushing all the share buttons before that, but that went nowhere. Please get this fixed. Thanks, Rudy Beuc
  21. So, this is the only apple product I have. I do not have air drop. Where are these files on my Ipad? Please relate to your engineers that it would be nice if there was some visible feedback on what Nomad's doing. Is it syncing? Can it see the cloud? Thanks, Rudy Beuc
  22. So I've bought an IPAD and was up on a roof today scanning in all kinds of things. I did not have connectivity and the files were all saved on my I pad. Back in the office with connectivity and having some difficulty uploading to the VW cloud. How do I upload/sync everything to the VW cloud? Thanks, Rudy Beuc
  23. Trying out photogrammetry today. Do I have to use Nomad to get a snapable point cloud? Do I have to have Lidar to do this? Thanks, Rudy Beuc
  24. Is there a way to reference viewports or sheets from another project? I have to put together a report dealing with issues from the main project and would like to include drawings from the main project. Sections and details for example. I don't want to include all the geometry from the main project, so using design layer viewports is not an option. Thanks, Rudy Beuc
  25. Gaaahhh!!!! After floundering around trying to enter in bearings for a survey, thru brute force trial and error, I find I can use "D" to enter in degrees for NE bearings. I don't need ALT 176 or something else. So N 24D 23' 15" E gets correctly entered/accepted/interpreted as N 24° 23' 15"E. Is there a list of means of entering/typing in data? If not can folks reply how they enter stuff in so I can generate a list? Thanks, Rudy Beuc
