  1. Hi All, As part of my journey transitioning from using aligned hardscapes with stakes with no site model to using site modifiers with site models and slope profiles - I am finding a problem. I first started making 'path' site modifiers then essentially duplicating to add a draped hardscape over the top (prone to inaccuracies along the edges and double the time to amend a design). I then realised you don't need to duplicate effort and just make a single 'path' hardscape on the same layer as the site model and add profiles to that. All good until you have curves and the profile doesnt sit anywhere near the direction of travel. Screen shot below. There appears to be an option to edit the profile and move the vertices around using the reshape tool in edit mode. Unfortunately the reshape tool doesn't allow you to move them. The cursor can select the vertex but no matter what I do the vertex won't move. Any help would be appreciated.
  2. The parametric wall tool that is default to VW is nice but I want to know if its possible to take it a step further. I am trying to find a way of distributing objects or extruding custom profiles horizontally and vertically across the surface of a wall efficiently to create things such as flashings or cladding. Ideally being able to click and drag a wall like you would with the wall tool but automatically generate and space specified extrusions or recesses across its surface. On one of my current projects I am using the curtain wall tool to create a second wall on the outside of my exterior walls that represents the 4x8 reveal panels and it works quite well. See attached screenshot. Theoretically the curtain wall tool performs most of the functions I want to do, but it is restrictive. I need to create two windows at each opening to cut the curtain wall as I cannot find any way to combine or link multiple walls so one window cuts through both (Is this possible?). The curtain wall tools frame and panel options are limited and do not allow for the use of custom profiles (custom profiles are a big deal when I need to model something after a specific product). So what I am wondering is wether there already exists or if its possible to create a function or tool (Maybe with marionette?) that functions similar to the curtain wall tool but is more customizable and less restrictive. Another Issue I have yet to find a good solution to is the inability to fillet or chamfer the edges of plug-in objects like doors and windows (or say the edges of the frames and panels of the curtain walls above) without losing their parametric abilities. I do a lot of rendering and having soft edges is important for realistic lighting. I have a feeling all this and more could be possible with the marionette tool, but I have yet to set aside the time to start learning it.
