  1. Thank you gentlemen, I've now got them!
  2. I recently updated to Vectorworks 2013, and I am trying to cut a 2D section through a model of a house. But in the Model drop-down menu, the Cut 2D section and Cut 3D section commands no longer appear. The Vectorworks Help document says that is where they should be. I have tried to edit my workspace, to see if they had inadvertently been left off that menu, but I don't even see those commands as available to add to the menu. Any ideas? Thanks.
  3. Thanks to all for your comments. Glad you like the house - it's weird talking about content rather than process on this site! And thanks for the comment on the non-seismic decks. You are certainly right; they'rer still schematic at this point - I'm meeting with my engineer Friday to firm everything up. As for the anomaly issues, we're still batting zero. As regards the mismatch between VW and OS 10.3.9, (I've now also gone to 10.4.2), I tried opening it with Classic, and Classic just doesn't see it. I've been using VW 10.1 for a couple of years, and have never seen anything like this. I tried Erich's suggested procedure, and got the same anomaly. Usually, I just use the walk-through and flyover tools, but even with set 3D view, the house still goes missing from certain directions. I've looked through what I think are all the linked layers for some weird item that could be causing this glitch, but I can't find it. But as I said, I've got another linked model that is working just fine, and hopefully I'll never see this problem show up again. Thanks again.
  4. Hi Peter- Nope, that's not it - just an 11 am sun position at 97%, and one opposing point light at 75% to fill in the shadows. I just tried deleting both of them, and the same problem still occurs. As I said, this may just be a bug I never figure out, and I can just abandon this layer, as I have another layer with a model built with (the same) links on it that does work. But thanks to a fellow Oregonian - I teach architecture up in Eugene. A few pics and a walk-through model of this house are up at http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~pkeyes/Whidbeyhouse/house1.html. Peter
  5. Nicholas- Thanks for the suggestion. I checked but couldn't find anything. I started another layer with new links, and the same thing happened. Luckily I had another layer with just the building modelled; I linked the site model to this and it all works fine. I'm assigning this bug to the category of things-I-will-never-figure-out-and-don't-have-the-time-to-pursue-amymore. Thanks for the attempt though.
  6. I've got a 3D model of a small house on a site, built up with layer links. It renders just fine with Open GL. However, when I try to use Renderworks, the house only appears when looking at it roughly from north to east. When viewed from any other direction, the house disappears, although the site features are still there. When I swtich to wireframe or Open GL from the same direction, the house reappears. The direction I am facing also affects whether I can see a rendered interior space; looking towards the southwest I can, towards other directions I can't. When I rotate around from the directions where it is flipping from visible to invisible, I get an apparent section plane cutting through the house, with those elements beyond the plane visible, and those in fron unvisible. Any thoughts? Thanks.
