Displacement bump/ Grass will penetrate through an overlying object. Eg - grass through a paving stone It would be convenient if the texture of the overlying texture could negate this effect or if the grass/displacement bump could be set to react to all objects it interferes with.

I have been running into issues with Rendering textures in my drawings. I have been using Vectorworks on my home computer since 2010 and the problem that I have noticed with the most recent update (version 2017), is that when I import/update my older plans and renderings into the 2017 version all the textures don't receive proper 'bump' values. When I start a new plan in the 2017 version and render it, everything works perfectly and renders beautifully. I've tried creating and editing textures in an original 2017 document and then importing them into an 'updated document', yet as soon as the texture is imported it no longer renders as it did in the original 2017 document where I created the texture. I've double checked all my lighting options, rendering options, and toggled all the same parameters in both documents but the end results of the renderings are completely different. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, or maybe I've just got something really simple toggled wrong or set up wrong in previous documents that I haven't thought about checking but I hope you can help me or give me tips on a few things that I could check to allow me to update my renderings in older plans. Thank-you very much!
