  1. Does anyone know if you can 'undo' a "fit walls to roof" request? ie. if i make a wall "fit to roof" and then a few days later, no longer want it to be sloping, is there a way of making it have a flat top again? I keep having to draw a new wall and starting again and its driving me insane!!!
  2. I mentioned this a while ago and didn't seem to get much response, but its now really annoying me! I cant see the detail (ie muntins, transom and jamb) on some of my windows in the viewport when viewing an elevation in hidden line. Its fine in the model, but only when viewing hidden line. It seems to be that when i start to play around and customise my windows this problem occurs. as when i use standard windows they are viewed fine. Obviously i don't want to have to use standard windows all the time!! Please help!
  3. I knew it would be somethihng simple like 'extract image'!!! Thanks for your help. Lucylou
  4. Hi Just wondering if there is a way to edit the original/or a copy of the image in say photoshop. What i'm trying to do is make the 'stone variegated' texture to look more of a red brick colour. I know i can do this in photoshop, but dont know how to open or where to find the original map/image? Any ideas anyone? Thanks
  5. thanks... although am a little confused by all the copy and pasting??
  6. Im doing an interior view of a room and want a glazed roof - however when i give my roof a glazed texture, nothing happens. ive consequently realised that you cant seem to add texture/materials to the underside of roofs and floors. any ideas on how im supposed to give my ceiling either a glazed look or for other rooms, a plain white ceiling? thanks
  7. is this not a bit strange though? does it not need addressing? thanks for your help though!
  8. ok - ive cracked it! apparantly you have to make the windows 'use wall depth' and then you can click off 'use wall depth' and its fine! this is a bit bizarre but at least i have my custom windows back! thanks for your help though!
  9. Robert, does it matter that its on all of my drawings! not just one particular file?
  10. does anyone know how to get my 'custom' windows to show in the viewport? the windows show, but not the muntins. however they show when im in the modelling layer. im sure they showed in the previous VW but i think its since the VW12.5 came in.
  11. (sometimes) when i use my roll button on the mouse to zoom out when im in the annotations of the viewport, (particularly when im editing a "roof" for some strange reason) the screen suddenly zooms right out and the viewport scale goes really small!!!! and i cant zoom in to 'undo' it, as its as though the scale of the page has changed. does anyone else have this problem? its a strange one i know! im on VW 12.5 and PC. thanks.
  12. Thanks daomun! I think you've cracked it!
  13. but there arent any 'lines' as such to click on! i can click on the "crop" but there isnt a line to click on.
  14. i meant the size of the viewport crop/window!
  15. does anyone know how to make viewports bigger? im on VW 12.5 thanks.
  16. I have found my answer! in the viewport object info palette, click advanced properties and tick the box that says 'show wall components' seems so simple now i know the answer! thanks though.
  17. when i compose a wall with 3 componants (from object info palette) the hatching cant be seen in the viewport. all classes are turned on. anyone any ideas? thanks.
  18. is there a way to reduce the overall file size? in particular when photos are imported, the file size is huge! is there a way to reduce it without having to reduce every single photo? or, perhaps when we export it to pdf, reducing the size of the pdf document??? im on pc.
  19. does anybody know if there is a way to view materials applied to objects without having to re-render everything? im new to rendering and in other packages such as 3d viz/max you can see the material (although not in detail) in the model itself, without having to re-render everything. it seems a very long winded process otherwise!
  20. try making the palette bigger - roll mouse over left hand edge of palette and pull it left - the scollers then appear
  21. does anyone understand how (and why!) glazing in windows works - are you able to 'see through' the glazing in a viewport with hidden line rendering? any help would be much appreciated. ps im on pc
  22. Katie - im on pc - i think a 3d loci (???) is placed in the spot instead of the symbol when i zoom out! never come across this before!
  23. when i put a symbol in a 2d drawing (ie a toilet into a plan) and then go to view it in the viewport it appears ok, however when i zoom in (with roller on mouse) it disappears!!! where does it go and why? its never done this before! any ideas? (ps ive just upgraded to 12.5) thanks.

    stairs

    i am having trouble inserting stairs. i can insert them ok, its as soon as i move them they display "stairs flr-flr height does not allow any risers" and i then have to re-do them. any ideas? also, is it a good idea to put them on there own layer? or include them in each floor layer? cheers LF
