    Window data missing

    in Architecture

    Posted

    I have a finished VW 2009 design file that giving me the following informational note when trying to use the window tool. In addition, all window data is missing.

    "A Plug-in Object parameter value is out-of-range due to inappropriate layer scale. Change the scale and try again."

    I have not change any design layer scales. Has anyone seen this?

    Script to loop through selected objects

    in Vectorscript

    Hello Josh,

    Thanks for the Reply. I realize this is a relatively straight forward script and thought maybe someone had written one I could use without spending the time necessary to write it myself. I just don't want to re-invent the wheel for something like this. It's all about the balance of time, you know.

    I do, however, feel that it may be worth the time necessary to make something like that as generic as possible in order to easily modify it and use it to quickly populate incremental data. I use a lot of worksheets as schedules in my designs so this would be very useful to me.

    Thanks for the two links, I'll check them out.

    Roof face edit issue

    in Architecture

    Posted

    I have a large roof face with multiple ridges at different elevations. See attached gif file. One of the ridges thinks it's a square eave. Is there a way to edit this ridge section to return it to a plumb cut, and have the eave remain square?

    Reference Marker Tool

    in Architecture

    Posted

    I am inserting reference markers in a viewport annotation. I would like to make these markers into symbols to use over and over and change the reference in one place, if needed. However, the symbol scales down to the design layer scale, inside the viewport, if edited as a symbol.

    How can I edit these marker symbols without them scaling down? What am I missing here?

    Plug-in parameters

    Thanks for the reply Pat,

    While attaching records may be the safer way to go in the long run, the interface of data entry in the data tab leaves alot to be desired. The interface does not allow interface functionality like drop down lists, which is useful to setup with frequently used items. After all, VW is supposed to be a BIM application.

    I am trying real hard to use VW as a BIM application and trying to keep the interface as fast and useful as possible. The answer to this could be to allow record format data to populate the bottom of the OIP, with all the data input field types, and just separate it from that data NNA uses with some kind of delimiter, or change how the data tab input works and provide us with some useful input field types. Let's get this thing useful, and fast, as a BIM application!

    I know you don't have anything to do with this and I appreciate your response.

    Plug-in parameters

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Two questions on plug-in data:

    1. Why is it possible to add parameters to some plug-ins, and have those parameters show up in the OIP, while others will not. In some cases I have to create a format record and use the data tab in the OIP to add the data. For some plug-ins I can add the data directly to the plug-in, via the vectorscript plug-in editor, and have it show up in the OIP??? For my use, it is much better to add the parameters to the plug-in itself instead of creating a separate format record. Consistency in the function of these plug-ins seems best.

    2. If I add parameters to a plug-in via the vectorscript plug-in editor, should I be coping, or moving, that plug-in .vso file to my user folder so that it is not over written upon software updates, assuming the plug-in function does not change?

    Site model problems in 2009

    in Architecture

    Posted

    I have a site model that will not modify correctly. When using a pad modifier surrounded by a fence modifier, the model will update contours for part of the pad correctly but some of the contours encroach into other parts of the pad area. I tried drawing different pad and fence shapes and it happens no matter what shape the pad and fence is.

    This problem makes site modeling and modifying completely useless.

    Anyone else have this problem?
