  1. To solve the issue I had a colleague create contour lines in Civil 3D which imported much better into VW due to reduced complexity of the geometry. The accuracy is still enough for our needs.
  2. @VIRTUALENVIRONS I had the computer running over night creating the VW site from your reduced geometry but it ended up crashing the computer. Did you manage to create a site from the model?
  3. @VIRTUALENVIRONS Thank you! I'm currently converting your reduced file into a VW site but it seems to take quite some time. I'll let it sit for a while and see what happens though. I don't know about the details of the smaller file but while it looks empty when opening in AutoCAD it does show some geometry when importing into VW. Would you let us know your process of reducing models like this?
  4. I'm working on a site and have models for surface terrain and subsurface rock. They come in the form of DWG and DXF and while I can import the terrain into VW the geometry seems to be way to complex for WV to be able to handle and much less make a site from. Does anyone know how I can make use of the files to create a manageable site model with a subsurface layer? Files attached here. I also have a point cloud but as georeferencing is vital so I can't make use of it. Surface terrain.dxfSubsurface rock.dwg
  5. @zeno Not as far as I know. Maybe @Katarina Ollikainen could elaborate somewhat on the issue?
  6. Same issue here. Maybe @Katarina Ollikainen has an answer?
  7. I'm using graphic legends to present data on furniture in my projects. I also attach a weblink to the sheet. Is it possible to make this text into hyperlinks that is clickable so it opens in the browser? Copying longer links like the one below results in a blank space in the link for every row break, resulting in most people not being able to use the links as they don't notice the space.
  8. As you might have noticed I'm really struggling with these things 🙂 What's the difference between a worksheet report and a database?
  9. I'm trying to create a worksheet that calculates material costs where some things are measured by area (geotextiles) and some by volume (crushed rock etc). Is there a way to express this in one field or do I have to create separate reports for the different types?
  10. They're "working on some improvements" so I tried nudging them into some improvement on this one 🙂
  11. I've also filed one and heard back som time ago so there might be light at the end of the tunnel for this one.
  12. @Poot would you mind explaining how you manage the slope along the edge line? And how do you set the grade between different vertices on the line?
  13. Is there a way to assign a Tag ID value ta a certain style of Hardscape? So that I can control the tag of all drawn hardscape from within the style? So far I have a custom record assigned to all hardscape styles but I'd also want to control the values in the record from the style. Preferable just like it's done in Plants, where I can also control if the Tag ID is set by instance or by Style. I guess this is basically a question if I can have records fields in general be set to By Instance or By Style? Or is there another way? I have come up with a solution of assigning every style to different class and coupling that class to certain values via the Data Manager. Seems unnecessarily cumbersome though, so I was hoping for a better solution?
  14. I'd love to see an updated presentation @aage.langedrag, especially now with IFC4.3 coming up. As a landscape architect in Sweden we do a lot of work in the detailed design stages and while there are some videos at the university that cover this I feel there is a lack of videos going in depth with more real-world issues with complex landscape modeling and coordination for large projects. Unfortunately IFC hasn't really taken off in Sweden but I hope we're moving in that direction. I have a very similar experience that Vectorworks is the best solution for landscape architects currently. My experience with Revit is that while it is a great piece of mature software it does not cater for the needs of landscape architects. I think that the fact that there are multiple add-ons for Revit covering landscape work speaks for itself, Revit by itself simply isn't good enough at this.
  15. I've spoken to them about it as well and am under the impression that it might be fixed during a larger point cloud-revision. Agreed that it's an absolute pain as it is currently though.
