[Hardscape slabs with independent surface levels]

In haste Michal, yes, look at Draped mode. With draped mode, you modify the site with grades or other modifiers to have the exact control you want. Then apply the hardscape to the surface and tell it to drape. It will also cut the site model if you wish for cut and fill calcs.

Just finding you the webinar we did on this recently...

 

In my situation, I just want a hardscape to drape on the existing site model.  Do you have to modify the site first with grades or other modifiers before draping a hardscape?  Or, can you simply drape a hardscape to an unmodified site model?

[Problem with hardscape drape & texture Bed mode]

I feel your pain.  Lately I've been spending far too much time fighting VW Site Model / Hardscape interactions than designing landscapes.

 

I agree with Jonathan's advice.  The datum adjustment helps when the Site Model and the Hardscape are debating who gets to show through as the surface.  When you have a much larger discrepancy and the hardscape as far off from the Site Model, I've had some luck with Update Site Model.  I've also found that making a small change to the Hardscape (example; toggling the Hide Style Parameters button) causes the Hardscape to re-drape to the Site Model.

 

All said however, I have a request into tech support as none of the above has solved my current Hardscape Drape issue where the Hardscape is floating far above the Site Model in one area and the same Hardscape is perfectly draped in another area.

[Updating Site Model gives me the dreaded spinning beach ball forever]

Things were going just fine with VW 2024 on my MacBook Pro (M1 Max, 64Gb, Mac OS Ventura 13.5.2).  I got the candy cane surround indicating a need to update Site Model.  I started the process and it never came back from the spinning beach ball.  My site is not that large or complicated.

 

Any known issues or ideas on what I should check?  I've sent a support request in but thought I'ld check here as well.

 

Thanks

[Fixed Text Box, Dynamic Text Sizing]

Is there a way to set a fixed box for text to fit into and have the text dynamically size into the box versus having the box grow or text wrap?

Hello @BobPDX,

 

Can you share a sample test file showing the issue?

 

Thanks,

Were you able to see the issue in the attached file?

[VW2023 Data Tag Issues?]

I just loaded VW2023 SP1.  Problem still exists.

 

 

[VW2023 Data Tag Issues?]

I spoke too soon !!!  In the attached file, on the only sheet layer I'm trying to attach Data Tags.  Simple Plant ID.  In some instances when I hover over the plant I get the red border and can attach the tag just fine.  In other cases, I don't get the red border around the plant or plant group and cannot attach a data tag.  A third scenario is if I hover over the first plant in a Poly-vertex placement mode, I don't get the red border around the group of plants but I can attach the tag to the first plant in the series.  If I select any other plant in the series, no red border and no tag attachment possible.

 

Thanks

Thanks for the response Nikolay.  I hate to say it but the issue cleared up.  If it comes back I'll send a file.

Trying to apply a simple "Plant ID" data tag to plants.  Works fine in VW2022.  In VW2023, works on some plants but on others I get the message of no valid object selected.  Its as if the VW2022 plant object is no longer recognized as a plant object once in VW2023??

Select all three and go to "Change Plant Grouping" in the Landmark menu. This will group them.

Hi new user here.  Enjoying your new Landmark Essentials tutorial.  I ran into this same problem and "Change Plant Grouping" worked but eliminated the line connecting the plants in the group.  Data tag is correct with quantity but the connecting line amongst the plants disappeared.  Also, on plant insertion using poly vertex mode, sometimes I get the connecting line amongst plants and other times, no connecting line.  How do I change that?  Thanks much in advance.
