Recently installed VW 11 (Industry Addition - Mac) to use on renovation project. I'm very proficient with graphics programs and a few years ago I played around with VW and started to get a feel for how things work. I have no other CADD experience.
Since, I'm starting from scratch it seems like a good idea to let VW's built-in organizational ideas guide my process. In other words I want to adopt VW conventions like Model Setup, Task Manager and Create Standard Viewports. Why fight it?
Question:
In the model setup dialogue, after you choose the number of floors, you can set the slab thickness, floor elevation and ceiling height for each floor. In most houses each story stacks one on top of the other. Why doesn't VW calculate the floor elevation of the second floor by adding the slab thickness and ceiling height of the first floor. It feels weird to have to calculate this manually. Am I missing the point of this tool?
