I've been bugging them about the georeferencing for years and believe it might finally be fixed in a not so distant future.

Just wanted to pitch in that I don't find it very intuitive either. I was trying to set a hardscape up the way I wanted it some time ago and I would hope for something like this to require no training or fiddling around to figure out the settings but it seems to be quite the opposite unfortunately. I kinda wish there were visual cues for where appearance is set for objects. Currently I can change both class, object and style settings without really seeing what actually affects the object and what doesn't. Ideally there would be some visual cues for this before changing the settings. Just some loose and late evening thoughts.

@Pat Stanford Wow! Will try this out as soon as possible!

@Jonk, @bob cleaver Feel free to grab the style from the model above if you'd like. These tables are absolutely fundamental to our work and I find it a little strange how much work it is to set up/figure out, but I suppose everyone doesn't have the same needs. It would just make sense to me if something similar was provided in the VW libraries though.

Here's a heavily reduced model if you'd like to have a look at it @Pat Stanford. I was really hoping this could all be formulated in a short text. Formula model.vwx

Thanks as always for taking the time Tom! I'll adjust the arrangement for now but the it'd be cool if someone knows of a more elegant formula for this.

Is there a formula that returns all hardscape components info, such as dimensions and certain component material info? I'm using it as dynamic text in a graphic legend. I got some help to construct the current formula as shown in the screen capture below but it's not perfect as I'd be missing out if I'm having more than 6 components. I could obviously extend the rows to include many more component numbers but the resulting text box takes into account lines that returns no values so the text box increases unnecessarily in size with empty lines if I would do that. @Nikolay Beshevliev, @Tom W., you've been very helpful earlier, any chance you know of a better formula? I believe there was some improvements in recent versions?

Anyone tried Egnyte? Currently considering changing from Sharepoint to something else.

All very good ideas @HebHeb! We're doing a lot of projects with basically just cut&fill calculations for large areas in early stages and I hate that we always have to go with Civil3D for those. It would also tie this to the planned feature of site model phasing. I've got a bunch of projects where my customer is looking for cut&fill for just the first stage of excavation for the buildings foundation, with proper slopes according to geotechnical requirements. The cut&fill for landscaping would be handled separately. Unfortunately he's getting it done elsewhere now in Geo Professional because it's so much faster and has better tools.

Also looking forward to something like this! Preferably the amount of coloured fields for different depths would be completely editable to any number. Not limited to a certain (and low) maximum as the slope analysis settings for the site.

Thanks! That did the trick exactly. Feels like I'll never learn how to construct these texts 😢

I use the supplied data tag as defined below to show elevations on my site. I'd like to edit it to show a "+" sign before the number and also limit the decimals to 2, instead of 3, which is my document standard. How do I do that?

Thanks, I'll have a go at the wall option then and model them by floor.

I have the original drawings but find it somewhat confusing how the chimney varies between floors in the drawings. Buildings isn't my specialty obviously though 🙂 I'll try and take some measurements when possible.

Don't know really, it's an existing building and since it's celebrating it's 100th anniversary this year it's not exactly straight 🙂
