Um, why can't I fillet these lines with a 3" radius?

For whatever reason, the first 10 times I did this, nothing happened. This time it worked. Not sure what I was doing wrong previously, but at least I can move forward now. Thank you.

For the love of god would somebody please change the grain direction of the header of this frame to be horizontal? Why does it have to be so difficult? Thanks. grain problem.vwx

This problem has arisen again. Wrong grain direction, and I can't seem to adjust it. The front face of this wall should have a vertical grain to match the sides, but no matter what I do, it stays horizontal. Why?

Bug report submitted.

Strange, it works through printing. Either way I would submit the bug report - but I actually don't know how to. I can't post to the known issues section, so will a moderator see it here and move it? Or is there a separate section for bug reporting? EDIT: Nevermind, I spoke too soon. I found it...

Thanks for looking into it. I will file a bug report today....

Thanks, all. Here is a file, and the resulting PDF export from the file... section marker test.vwx section marker test.pdf

Sorry, I usually put that in at the bottom. Yes, I need to get a signature going. Specs: VW2019 SP3.1 Macbook Pro mid 2015 OS 10.11.6

Well, it's supposed to be Helvetica. And the lower 3 is, but the 2 isn't. It's tall and off-centre. I'll live with it before changing fonts, but this didn't happen in previous versions. And as mentioned, it looks proper on screen, it just doesn't print/export properly...

Why do my section and elevation markers look crappy? The font on the top digit is different from the one below, but they are the same. And they look proper on screen. Is there a fix, or a setting for this? See attached screen shot...

Wow. Yes, only when using "temp" as the filename. Other filenames work fine. I do this A LOT when I'm working to generate a quick set of drawings to the desktop that I can open on my second monitor. It saves me having a bunch of PDF files as 'temp' just keeps overwriting the previous file. Plus with a filename of temp, I'm never afraid of deleting it. I guess my new go-to filename will be temp1. Funny behaviour though.

No, no error at all. In fact it just skips the whole process, like you never did it. Doesn't even start updating viewports....

I can't seem to publish drawings to PDF with a different name than the name of the file. If I try to create a file, say named "temp", it does nothing. But if I leave the default file name (the name of the file), then it published normally. I used to be able to name the PDF whatever I wanted. Something has changed. VW2019 SP3.1 Macbook Pro

I'm having snap issues too. Today I couldn't snap to anything on a 3D model (plan view), but yesterday I could (I was trying to add a few dimensions to a viewport that I had already dimensioned). If I can replicate the behaviour, I'll post it here. Maybe the 2 issues are related.

Slightly off topic, but where is the best place to learn about some of these newer 3D modelling tools?

Yes, scrolling was MUCH better in 2016. It is very tedious in 2019, which definitely slows you down when you have to try to hover over just the right spot to get it to scroll. Can the settings from previous versions not be applied to 2019? And why did it change?

Interesting. This looks really good. I will give it a try and post back. Thanks for the help....

How would you attack this? I want to model some banquettes, both curved and straight. But I don't know how to model the channelled backs. See attached image. How would you model the flutes or vertical seams in the seat back? I'm using VW2019, SP3, InteriorCAD, Macbook Pro.

Ok, thanks for the response.

VW details attached. As for the steps, I can replicate it by doing this: - start a new file from the template - click on the title block, and edit it using the 'title block border settings' button in OIP - under 'project data', I edit the project name, address and date - then, under the 'sheet data', I edit the sheet title - then press ok For me, the sheet title 'plan' remains, no matter what I set it to. I have to go in and edit just that field again before it accepts the input. Hopefully you can replicate the issue...

Ok. I thought this issue had resolved itself, but it has not. I have to edit the 'drawing name' field under the sheet data tab twice before it accepts the input. The first time I accept the dialogue box, it reverts back to the default text, in my case "plan". Sending you my template file now...

Thanks for the reply. I'll carry on then, and select all and update when necessary.

Using VW2019 Architect. If I change the precision of my dimensions say from .1mm to .01mm, existing dimensions don't update. New dimensions take on the set precision. Is this expected behaviour? I would expect any change to the dimension units, or precision, would update automatically. UPDATE: Things do update automatically IF I change to different units, then change back. (i.e.: if I change to inches, then back to mm with any precision, the dimensions all update as expected)

That did it. Thanks! I wonder if this is something that will be addressed in a service pack one day?
