[CONCRETE FOOTING PLAN VIEW VS SECTION HATCH]

Pat, thank you will try but that would apply to all viewports correct?

 

[CONCRETE FOOTING PLAN VIEW VS SECTION HATCH]

Tried to work with class overrides in my viewport but that did not change the wall fills

[CONCRETE FOOTING PLAN VIEW VS SECTION HATCH]

Is there a way to keep the concrete hatch in view and see a dashed line with white fill in plan view? I use a wall style for that, not sure if it's the best way to do that but it is the same process as for the foundation wall which also should be white in plan view per industry standard.

Thank you, will try that

Just drag it into the page, that simple  

[GREYED OUT CLASSES IN VIEWPORT PRINTED BLACK]

Hi everyone, hope all is going well.

Is there a settings somewhere to specify that greyed objects be printed in grey rather than black? This has been stomping me for a long time. 

Keep up the good work

Does anyone use that?

 

[wall door insert into wall drag into not working]

Thank you guys

Had a hard time finding these icons but I found these options once I inserted a window the traditional way. Once I selected the options above they became consistent options.

[wall door insert into wall drag into not working]

Why can't I drag a door into a wall. I can insert from a create similar selection but not by dragging it. I think to remember that there is a setup that allows this but I can't find it.

Thanks

[DROP DOWN TREES ON THE SITE]

Send to surface may be the correct command since I use a 3D model for the site and not a site drawn from contours. 

Where can i find the command to send to surface?

FYI I already dragged those from the side views, just inquiring for the sake of concluding this thread for others to benefit from.

Than you

[Add leader to callout makes VW application not responding]

I am not sure how to do this video sorry

[Add leader to callout makes VW application not responding]

This has been going on for the longest time on VW to a point where I save the file before I add a new leader to a callout. Anyone noticed the same thing?

[Some Windows & Doors do not "Cut" walls after 2022 SP2 update]

Did you make sure you switched the 4th icon below in the options for the selection tool (X) ? 

This can be very frustrating, I just ran into it recently and OMG 

Good luck

[wall inserts do not trigger wall selection]

I am not able to drag a door/window or other symbols setup to attach to wall into the walls. I need to "create a similar item" to an already attached item to be able to insert it into a wall. Puzzled, this used to be a no brainer

Thank you for any suggestion.

[REPORTS - SPACE - GLAZING AREA , NET GLAZING CALCULATION]

Hello,

I am looking to create a report on spaces for mechanicals data as requested by the building department.

Yes it would be quicker to do that by hand ! but I am set on extracting the data instead. I was able to format the report for most information that I need but I cannot figure out how to get the glazing are and the net glazing area ratio. I can't figure out how to enter the information in the space information panel because it is calculated somehow. I would really appreciate to understand how this is calculated and how to insert the result in my database header. 

Here is what I am working with.

Thanks for the help

[ARTISTIC STYLE RENDERING SHOWING ROGUE LINES]

The oblique lines are showing on walls. Is there a way to remove those?

[VWX TO DXF/dwg]

Believe it or not but some people still use VW10. Yes, and they use the old disconnected computers because…. well, why change!!

And, on top of that they use only layers to draw everything, floor plans and elevations plus some wall section and plumbing stack diagrams. That’s about all they do and turn quickly small projects that seem to make them good money. 
So, I do some work for them and although I can feel sometimes frustrated with the process, the straight 2D drafting is refreshing and reminds me of days long gone. 
I do most of the work on VW2021 because it is so much easier than V10. I then translate to dwg to be able to open on the old computer. When I open the file in VW 10 I get the layers in a weird naming standard. 
qu: is there a way to DXF to keep the layers as layers in the translation? And the scale to stay at 1/48. 
i know I’m back in the 🦖 

thank You

I think the local sync is a good option but I don't see the difference with sharing/sync on Dropbox. What are the added functions on VCS that dropbox does not have?

Should I bring all the resources of that file into a new file and save it as a new favorite and remove the previous one?
