Willofmaine I'm with you on that one! But looks like theres a number of ways to work around it for now.

For some reason my objects are deselecting after I haved moved them!!! Why is it doing this?

Anyone else finding this: VW doesnt recognize when you change the capitalization of text in a name of a layer, class, viewport etc Example My class time is "temp" I alter the name to "Temp" (changing the t from lower case to upper case) but has no effect I can change to "temp1" and then change back to "Temp" And because the name is different it accepts the Upper case T

Does anyone find that when using the flyover tool to rotate round a building in openGL, when you stop moving the mouse the view continues to rotate at an increased speed for about 180?????? In wire frame the rotation is relative to the movement of te mouse With openGL its all over the show

The image with the problem is rendered as "openGL", I have just found that if I change to "Final Quality RendorWorks" the image appears fine but as soon as I go back to "openGL" the problem reoccurs. Whats going on?

I have attached an image of whats going on. All of a sudden my viewport of a perspective lost a coner of the image. Its almost like a crop has been applied, however when I change the foreground render from none to hidden line I can still see the outline of the info that is not showing up in foreground render none. I have tried rotating the view in the crop mode and it seems as thou the problem is reletive to the view no the model. If that makes sense.

With items on the wishlist if they are chosen to be implemented are they released in the Service Packs or new versions of VW, eg VW2009 for example?

Any1 got any suggestions?

Yea its a pain in the... Is this a bug?

Yeah with a PC when you "maximize" the VW application it snaps to one screen only. When you have two VW files open you can only drag within the window of the VW application so unable to use other moniter. A temporary fix has been running VW as "restore" then dragging the VW application window across both screens and paneling the two VW files inside. This has draw backs thou.

I use two moniters. If I open up say two VW files they are locked with in the one VW Application so I am unable to drag the second VW file to the other moniter. Is there away to open up each VW file as a seperate VW application?

Is anyone experiencing temperamental wall texture and wall texture update functions? All my walls are in a class. For all walls, in the "render" section of the OIP I have set the texture to "all" sides and "class texture". In the class settings under "wall" I have assigned the same texture to "left, right and all". When I exit only one side of the walls are textured. I select a wall check I have the correct settings IE class texture and all sides. I then change all to left or right, the walls changes accordingly I then click back on all and the wall becomes correct. If I select all walls and perform the same procedure only the most dominant wall changes. I have to select every wall individually and change gtom all to right and then back to all for the correct texture to take place. If I need to change the class texture I have to do the same process again for all walls. Im sure I must be doing something wrong but have know idea what it is Can anyone help I also have the same problem for windoor13 objects in particular class settings, If I make a change to all windoor objects I then have to click on each windoor object go into its from and then exit striaght away for anything to happen.

Ok I need To have GDI on so I can have "opacity" settings for my objects, but I also need to use the arial font. What can I do?

Cool thanks for that Pat

Hi Pat GDI Imaging was already on, but I have just turned it off and the fonts are fixed. What effects will this have on other areas?

I have tried different fonts but getting same problem. Am using Arial at the mo. The particular character works fine in text on the page just not in worksheets.

I have been having the same problem. I have restarted my machine and tried to delete the file but get the same message. I have just been copying the file and saving with a new name. After I have waited maybe 10 minnutes I can then delete the old file and the message does not come up. Have no idea why.

In the edit mode of a worksheet I have a "m?" When I exit the edit mode it appears as "m(symbol for square root)" Whats the story?

I can batch export PDFs as one file fine. I am an able to batch export PDFS as seperate file for each page. When I choose this option all I get is one file with an odd file extension (0kb). ????????????

Haha too true too true.

Thanx Peter I use c)class overrides all the time, and they work great. I find that the 2D/3D hybrid thou is effectly having to draw the information twice. An example would be an "L" shaped slab. To get the 3D model of the slab with textures I can extrude a polygon. An extrusion cant have its edges dashed so I can put the extrusion in "class 1" and then copy the base polygon make it dashed and put in "class 2". Then Group the two. this is my 2D3D hybrid slab. This works fine. However when I want to say change the "L" to a "T" I have to edit the polygon inside the extrusion and then the base polygon or just copy it, either way im still doing it twice. Hope that makes sense:)

I think the whole idea of having viewports and classes is to ideally draw something once and have that item "live" so you dont have to duplicate it, any change made to that object alters through out the drawing which is great. Im finding over an over again that this is not possible. Examples are Elevations with walls having fine line weatherboards. You need to either draw polygons over your elevations and apply hatch or create another object and extrude it in front of walls. Extrusions not being able to dash or hatch so no good in plan views because you always need to dash the outside of objects for areas above or below the viewers height. To overcome this you need to have the polygon for the extrusion and then another one for the dash and hatch. For a floor you can use the floor tool which is great, but if you want to show the top as say a carpet texture you cant show the sides as say concrete. To over come this you have to either use an extruded polygon for your floor buth then you get the "no dash" problem. Or you have to create extrusions around the edges of your floor to show the other texture. Roof Faces in plan view when you have dashed outline, joined lines appear solid so you have to create a "copy in lines" to get the desired result. Viewport Section Markers: When using a partial section marker you either have to have a line sticking right thru your plan to the extent of the section or use the line tool to draw over the section marker and then copy the line to every viewport where the section marker shows. This forum is scattered with these sorts of problems, wanting to have one object and show it different ways rather than having copies in lines etc of objects which means lots of changes when things need altering. Am I the only one thats finding this? Is there any I have missed? Are these things likely to be looked at in the future?

If you extrude a polygon instead of using the floor option you are not able to have the edges of the floor (extrusion) as dashes. Is there no way to have all surfaces of a floor to show as a texure? Or top as one texure and sides as another?

I find the search option on this website to be of no use. I have tried on many occasions when searching for information on various topics to type in as accurate as possible all the search words approriate. But I get pages and pages of results and when viewing the contents they are about topics that dont seem to be related to my key words at all. Does anybody else agree?

In my list of hatches there is a horizontal grey line which divides the list. Can someone tell me what this is and is for? Have attached a screen shot.
