Hi David Two options worth checking: Are your design far from the internal origin? Du you have unified view checked

@jwatson4 We use roof faces for sloped floors

Could it be that your project is far from the internal origin? I have seen walls disappear when some objects are far out or the origin is far from the walls

Hi Cris You will have to select the whole column and then apply formatting, choose Number and decide how many decimals

Fabulous! I had forgot that command

Hi Marissa Thanks for looking into this! test.vwx

I have a file with 99 3d polys (circles) with right z height and are planning to do a DTM. Anyone who can make a script to replace the 3d polys with a 3d loci in the centre of each?

Instead of extrudes you could use floor or column. They work like extrudes but are hybrids. With fill in top plan view

Hi Sara I haven't used wall recess' tool much and think its meant to take out parts of a wall. I think there are issues when the recesses ar close to wall ends and corners. Maybe it would be easier to model your wall as an inner part with the wall tool and use simple extrudes for the outer corrugated part? You will then have to adjust the cladding every time a window is changed but it should not be complicated. Here is an example of a building we are currently designing with a cladding that has some profiles on part of the wall.

Thanks for the good post! I like the "5 different ways" rule you are describing. Still it would be good to have some recommendations for what can speed things up and what can be slowing down VW. Like the title block example you are mentioning. We have also learned that Symbols is a good thing both for making the file smoother and also comes handy when you later need to change or add info to the drawing. Some knowledge base articles discussing workflows and speed issues could be valuable to reduce user errors

Hi I would just assign a "corrugated" formed line type to the 2D representation of your wall style and find a corrugated texture for the 3d representation. My example has a carful sketch render style aligned to the viewport and are not necessary

If you go to edit mode you can right click the blue selection handle and choose some options

Hi If you define a slabstyle with the thikness of the slab at the drain 220-70=150mm then place the drain where you want it and later edit the endpoints to 70 mm. do you get what you want?

Hi Robert @Robert Anderson We are using Moment: https://app.moment.team Cloud-based and developed by architects. Really good and timesaving

Hello We have seen similar issues in a project file recently, 3 persons working at the same time. Suddenly walls on several floors became unjoined and some misplaced. We recreated the file from an earlier backup and copied newer elements over to get back on track. I forgot to save the problem file I can't really tell what caused it but we were in a phase discussing color and material use in the exterior. Me ( the admin ) was changing textures on wall styles to evaluate different color options. Meanwhile a coworker was dimension walls and openings on different layers. There was no warnings or messages displayed but suddenly a lot of wall got unjoined. I suspect fiddling with textures used on wall styles forced some walls to update on several layers and can be part of the problem also the dimensions associated to wall ends and openings.
