    Would anybody share their hatches with me please?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Christiaan thank you!

    I did manage to get to similar stage.

    Then I had three main problems:

    1. Why does the dash line seem to run at a slightly different angle even though it is set at the same angle as the original lines? It seems to do the same in your example

    2. I need a dot in the dash line - I tried to make a very short line layered over the dashed line, but never managed to have them spaced uquelly the entire lenght. Somehow they start going different ways after a while.

    3. I struggle with achieving the correct scale - is there any way how to create a hatch and then use it at different scales? Or do I have to make a different one each time?

    Here is the sad result of my effort:

    I need different hatches than those provided. I know I can make them and I did try, but the results are not good enough and I finally lost patience with it.

    Especially hatches that include dots - these are not provided at all and I did not magane to make them.

    Please if there is anybody who has quite a wide range of hatches made and would be willing to share them, it would make me sooooo happpy!

    2D no showing in a 3D viewport

    Hi Ozzie,

    no, I would like to use 2D trees in a picture showig an isomentric view of several buildings. I dont like the 3D trees provided and I will not need to rotate the view in any other way. So I extruded the buildings and in an isometric view added 2D trees, thinking that if I tick the "Project 2D Objects" option, it will show in the viewport the way it showed on the design layer. But instead of trees I only get flat rectangles.

    I wonder if there is a way around it for a simple drawing where I dont need all the properties of a proper 3D environment.

    Many thanks

    I made a simple 3D view of a few buildings and - in isometric view - added some 2D trees. When I make a viewport, the trees only appear as rectangles, even though I selected the Project 2D object option.

    What do I do wrong? Is it not possible to combine 3D and 2D in one view?

    Many thanks

    dimensions not flipped on a sheet layer

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I did offset the line so that the text does not colide with the drawing line ....

    Apart of the non-flipped text in the viewport, I think I can do what I need now.

    The local standard is a combination of vertical and horizontal text, i.e. text aligned with the dimension line. I will try to stick to that and not flip the text ...

    Many thanks!!

    I don't know why but Adjust Flipped Text makes no difference to my viewport.

    I tried unchecking the Auto Position Text in the design layer and it sent the text to the top of the dimension line.

    BUT in the process I realized that there is the option to have the text horizontal, which answers the other question I had - what to do to have all the dimension text all the same orientation as Ray suggested. That makes the text to intersect the dimension line though ....

    Unflipping it in the design layer made no difference, but rotating the viewport does flip some of the dimensions the other way - so it corrects some but incorrects the others - depending which way I rotate it ....

    Why is this happening? And what should I do to have the dimensions the way I want - some flipped and some not?

    Thank you for help

    plant symbols gone from plan 2009

    in Site Design

    Posted · Edited by liberian

    Alchemilla could you please explain in more detail how I add the files with favourite plants to the resource browser?

    I uploaded the default plant symbols and then defined a number of plants using these symbols (changing their size, spread etc.) ... but saving them in a template was the only way I could think of so that I would be able to use them in another document.

    I don't understand how to add them to my favourites.

    Thanks.

    plant tool freezes VW

    in Site Design

    Posted

    I followed one of the video tech tips to add new plants to the plant tool. It worked fine and I did the same for the xfrog library. It seemed to work fine too, but when I opened VW next time and wanted to use the plant tool the program froze. I restarted many times now, but it is always the same. The program works fine untill I open the plant tool, then it freezes. PLEASE help, I have no idea what to do.

    layer scale

    right ... this is very useful, thanks! I never worked in any CAD program before and am only learning from Archoncad manuals, hence the not-so-professional terminology.

    But I am getting there, thanks a lot!!

    layer scale

    in Site Design

    Posted

    Sorry if this is too trivial ? I am a beginner. I am drawing a site plan at a 1:500 scale. I have all the layers set to 1:500. I have imported a scan of the site boundaries and draw over them, then scaled the whole drawing so that it would be the right size (for example one length of the boundary that is 40m in reality is 80mm on the screen (with a 100% view)).

    But when I draw a rectangle, which in reality should be 3m times 10m, and I used a dialog box entering 3000 and 10000, the object info confirms it is 3m wide and 10m long, but on the screen (with a 100% view), I can see an object 3mm wide and 10mm long, so it is a scale 1:1000. What is wrong? Many thanks.
