I got it. in the stair setting , I switched the top graphics from floor-2 layout layer to floor-2 slab layer. Thanks Tom W & Matt Panzer for your help. So in summary there is no pros or cons of using Top/Plan vs horizontal viewport section for floor plans drawings? Another question : what is the trick to show building components on floors below ( eg columns ) and floors above ( eg balcony projections ) Thanks again

Thank you for the reply I am not quite sure how this can be achieved (ie ground floor stair object and second floor slab be on same layer?)if the stair is on Storey-1 layer and the slab is on Storey-2 layer? or am I missing something It seems the workaround you provided ( changing location (Z) of the stair object in the viewport to hide steps below slab) ) only works with horizontal viewport sections , no Top/Plan I read the users comments and I would like to know what are the pros and cons of opting for Top/Plan vs Horiz. viewport section when generating floor plan drawings. I can start by : Top/Plan cons: -Stair underneath slab will be visible. - - Horiz. section viewport pros: -Stair underneath slab will be hidden (yeah!!) - - Please feel free to add . Cheers

I just experimented it with horizontal section viewport and it worked. So is there a solution for regular viewport for Top/Plan views? (Hide stairs below slab)

Hi folks I am having trouble with this issue (Portion of stairs (from floor below) under slab showing on Top/Plan view) I tried the workaround , moved the plan of the proxy object down to bottom of the slab but still no success. I am using regular viewport for floor plans (not horizontal section viewport). VW2024 Please help thx

Thank you gentlemen I explored the structural member command. Indeed it offers more options to control the object. I am wondering in what case using column (vs structural member) makes more sense? For my application , I have underground parking levels and tower above . Is it safe to say that structural member is the way to go? I created column and structural member styles (to play with) and I used convert/replace with symbol and worked great (Tom , I guess when style is created , a plug in object is automatically created and no need to create a symbol before hand?) Now the question is : if I have 300 columns with let's say 3 or 4 different sizes , do I need to create equal number (3 or 4) of columns or structural members styles ? In a bigger picture , I am starting this route of switching to 3D and wondering if Vectorworks is pretty suitable/capable for the type/scale of projects our office is doing : High-rise residential (underground+podium+tower with repetitive floors) I haven't seen similar project examples in the Vectorworks universty and would love to have a hand on one to see how the file is organized and how the different components are modeled (eg: window-wall se up and interaction with the slab by-pass) What would be the best transition and gradual path ? I heard somewhere 2.5 D which sounds like what I am thinking. Cheers

Hi There I am making my first steps switching from 2D to 3D workflow. I have 300 2D rectangles representing conc. columns . how do I create 3D columns from there? I was expecting to find it in create objects from shapes , but the option is not there. thank you fro your help

Hi There Any update on this?

Hi guys Are there still some bugs with VW2022 on Monterey ? It seems the first post (Apple macOS Monterey Compatibility) hasn't been updated since 12/03/2021 Update. I have been on the fence and didn't upgrade Thx
