cberg Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Does anybody know why a section that looks like this in VW, exports like the second image in ACAD? I don't have a version of Acad, but typically preview in Autodesk's online viewer... A-2.1.dwg 1 Quote Link to comment
cberg Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) I figured out why. The flaw occurs when you select "Merge Cross Section".... Here were the settings for the first section (above). I typically flatten the model into 2d Graphics. Here are the settings for the second section... And it works. I will submit as a bug.

cberg Posted May 1, 2023 Author Share Posted May 1, 2023 That said, while separating the section is a partial workaround, the exported dwg line work is not correct. I went through a lot of effort to get the section looking the way it needs to. It is very inconvenient to adjust each viewport for dwg export and then undo these changes for PDF export. 1 Quote Link to comment
cberg Posted May 1, 2023 Author Share Posted May 1, 2023 (edited) I noticed another problem with dwg exports. In VW there is a setting to export hatches and 2d fills into separate dwg/dxf layers. Unfortunately this doesn't apply to Renderworks surface hatches. In the elevation below the walls are on a class called Ex_Wall Exterior. One would expect the surface hatches to export to a separate ACAD Layer. However they don't. The solid fills for the elevation benchmarks in the annotations layer are the only element that makes it onto a dedicated Autocad layer. You can play with the autocad file on the link below. https://autode.sk/44j4E1p Edited May 1, 2023 by cberg clarity Quote Link to comment
