  1. VW 2013. I am working on a site model and not sure about the new Pad withRetaining Edge. I need to cut a vertical Battered Slope for foundation walls. How does this work with the sending grade limits to surface?

    Thanks

  2. I am operating on VW2013. I have created a site model and need to show the client a plan view as well as perspectives. I need to apply textures to the site model with slope. The plan view for the landscape plan is easy to do. The complication is with hardscape on slopes? Textured beds on steeper terrain and showing the 2D or 3D objects in different views. Any tips or solutions?

  3. I am now working on vw2013 and have built a site model and proposed structure which has three floor levels. When I go to use send to surface, not all floor levels move as well as doors and windows. I am using a unified view, but do not understand why doors and window and several floor levels do not move when using the send to surface command?

    Any suggestions? Thanks

  4. Thank you very much for your input and advice re RO. I think that it is best not to show an incorrect dimension or value. The default info shows the nominal dimension and the RO to be the same. Thank you for your input and assistance. Good comment about having the contractor build according to the nominal dimension. Thanks!

  5. I have not used door/window schedules before but am working on a project and need to supply the information to the contractor. I want to show in the schedule the door and window sizes respectfully, but also want to indicate the rough opening size for construction. I cannot seem to adjust the rough opening size in the door schedule correctly to correspond to the manufacturers specification. When I go into the schedule I go to RO Width and put in the appropriate value/ Same as RO Height. Check green , recalculate. It just defaults to the scheduled door size? What am I doing wrong? Thanks

  6. If I want to render a tiled floor showing the tile selected for the project, can I apply a downloaded image of the tile into vw and apply the image? I have a 2D representation of the tile pattern, but would like to show the client how it will look in the project.

    Thanks

  7. I am still not familiar with 2012 and stories. I am creating a model with 3 stories and roof in 2 stories. When I go to add the roof components such as facia, they are at a different elevation relative to the stories/roof and not attached to the roof. I cannot seem to see where to change the elevation for the components to match the roof elevations? Thanks!

  8. Thanks for your help. I have entered the cost items for the variouos hardscapes in the info pallette. I however would like to create a seperate cost column on the worksheet that calculates the total cost for each hardscape element based on the total area and cost per unit value such as square foot or lineal ft etc. Is this possible? I am doing something wrong of simply do not understand.

    Thanks

  9. I have a landscape plan and want to have some preliminary budget forcast. I have a number of hardscapes identified on the plan. There are different cost per square foot or length or volume for each. I can't seem to enter different costs per unit ie square ft or linear ft for each hardscape hardscape. How do i forcast costs on a hardscape work sheet based on area volume etc per hardscape unit given didfferent price factors apply?

    Thanks.

  10. I am working on a landscape plan and have created a site model. I have cut in a driveway (road) using the road NURBS at the appropriate elevation stations. I need to vary the road width and add an additional landing which will also have some varying curves and grade. How do I create a road with different widths? The road NURBS tool has a set width unless I am missing something? Thanks.

  11. I hav just created a custom title block. I would like to change the Revision and Issue notes so that the entries are chronologicaly descending as I make entries. I have changed the postion in the title block but some of the old attributes such as ascending and location remain the same. Any suggestions as to how to change the functionality from ascending to descending for revsions and issue notes within the title block?

    Thanks.

  12. I am trying to use the stepped wall tool for the first time. This will be a very useful tool. However, I am not implementing the tool correctly as I have unpredictable results.

    I have created a site model. I used the wall tool and created a custom wall to depict a new fence line which will follow changing grades. I want to use this for presentation purposes only, and not a final design for the fencing detail. I inserted the wall along three sections of property. However, one of the wall/fences is not following the grade. The wall steps down when in fact it should be stepping up with the contour? I have played around with some of the setting but again with unpredictable and incorrect results.

    Should each wall section be placed seperartely? What is the process for using the tool? What should I be looking for to get correct results?

    Thanks!

  13. Peter,

    Thanks for your suggestions. I still have an on going problem with this file. I have discussed the issue with the reproduction printing department. The topic of title blocks came up. Interestingly, I have updated info in the title block for this project. I set my title block as a default and have been using it. I however have made an error and am not able to delete an older version from the title block default folder. Can you delete a default symbol/folder. I am not able to do so? How do I delete the older converted versions? I do not seem to delete them in the resource browser? I am not sure if this is currently part of the printing problem?

    Thanks
