  1. Set the document unit precision much higher than 1 decimal place then edit the hatch and you’ll see the offsets are not what you think due to them being rounded to the document unit precision. That is what’s causing the problem. Once you’ve corrected them, you can change the precision back as needed. BTW, I believe the hatch offsets can be corrected without changing the precision by selecting each one and retyping it in. This will replace the actual values (that are displayed rounded) with the correct value. It’s a little weird doing it this way because the value you’re replacing looks the same (do to the rounding) as the new value.
  2. Ah, right. Thank you for bringing this up! I agree that this is a bug and submitted one (VB-202822).
  3. Right. That’s the “not ideal” part. 😉
  4. All I’ll say is that you’ll see this addressed very soon. 😉 As for adjustments to classes panes, that is another thing for another time…
  5. Right. Not an ideal solution. However, if you save the originals with the same names in another file, you can import them back in (replacing the modified ones) after it's fixed.
  6. @Eric Nickerson, @Tom W., As Tom assumed, this is a bug (VB-197852) related to the door and window handing. I do not see a fix for it yet but I'll try to get this addressed as soon as possible.
  7. @Tom W., I just tested the file @mattfox attached by ungrouping the Roof into Roof Faces and associating them to their corresponding walls. You're right that they don't clip the walls in VW2024 Update 3 but I see it working in an Update 4 beta version. So you should have the fix soon.
  8. That's probably a better solution. The slope is not important at the model scale (will be shown in 2D details), and I'm already using that method - there's a footing stacked under this one. Yeah. If you can do without the slope, I'd go with the two component trick. 🙂
  9. Good to hear you found a way. If the legs was not sloped and a consistent width, I would recommend using two components of the same material with one being the depth of the ledge and wrap it at the end using the Wall End Cap tool. Your solution or using a wall hole cutter are the only way I can think of doing this.
  10. @line-weight, I found an outstanding bug (VB-174392) related to this issue. The now thing I found (back when it was reported) that fixed the problem was to turn off both "Display extents before cut plane" and "Display extents beyond cut plane", update the viewport, then turn on the extents as needed. Maybe give that a shot? Have you tried that file in VW 2024? From what I see, the issue has been fixed.

  12. Right. That's why we need to create a proper UI for RCPs so those field names and numbers are presented to the user that makes sense.
  13. The reason it would be handy is that commonly you might have a regular HSVP set up with the crop and annotations and visibilities and page position that you want, and if you could simply duplicate this and then flip it to an RCP, that would save a lot of repeated work getting the layout set up. It would be good though if it worked better than the "reverse direction" button for regular section viewports - which reverses the section direction but doesn't mirror the crop and annotations, so you end up having to fix all that manually. Absolutely! By the way: this would be useful in non horizontal sections too. Sometimes I come across similar issues with interior elevations, for example, which I make using sections. Generally you want a section taken as close as possible to a wall face but you often end up with choosing between slicing things you want in elevation, or having bits of the wall face obscured by sliced bits of sloping roof, etc. Good point! I suppose for non-horizontal sections, the regions would have to be relative to the cut plane defined by the section line rather than being based on document coordinates. Right. That's the quirky part. Think of "below cut" as being "beyond cut" which would be looking up (or "above cut").
  14. It should work (in theory) because it’s just creating a horizontal section facing the other direction. We do want to do this properly in the UI but it really will be the same thing with a RCP UI added. I do like the idea of adding a way to convert a “floor plan” section into a RCP section.
