AcetoLA Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Just here to say THANK YOU VW Engineers and designers for the new drape mode...now we just need more training videos covering the tool. This seems like what I've been looking for for a while--ability to grade a site just the way I want it, then independently 'drape' hardscape on top. Perfect. For somereason though now I do not see the 'drape mode in the OIP. Is this a 2024 thing? 4 Quote Link to comment
Anders Blomberg Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 @AcetoLA Did you find it? It's under Site modifier. Agreeing on the fact that it's a great feature! I just hope we can get some better grading tools now! I have some issues draping larger areas, anyone else seeing the same thing? Quote Link to comment
HebHeb Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I was so hyped for this feature! But I can't find the function in my german Version SP4... 😞 @Anders Blomberg does a landscape area in the size does the job? Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) Interessante Übersetzung .... "wie ein Deckchen drüber legen ..." fände ich poetischer. (An Geländeoberfläche angepasst, oder, auf das Geländemodell reagierend !?) Sometimes I am really happy to use the US version. It doesn't always make sense to try to translate certain english invented terms into a foreign language. (Oder Rucksacku, wie der Japaner sagt) Edited April 10, 2023 by zoomer 1 Quote Link to comment

I tried to recreate the site model and so on... didn't found any hint whats causing the problem yet... in empty files where i create everything from scratch it works! nice to see. Was the naming of this feature not the same as the existing function where hardscapes affect each other? Quote Link to comment

This actually just caught Tamsin Slatter up on a Vectorworks university webinar about the new site modifiers and drape mode. She had the good graces to try and fix it live - and in the end Marketa actually pointed this out. 1 Quote Link to comment
