BillW Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 You can pull through shape class textures by setting "Use shape classes" - see below. Each shape can have a different class. Quote Link to comment

If it has no texture assigned, but it does have a "fill" attribute assigned, this fill colour does not come through (it just appears white). This is different from what I expect from other tools ... for example a simple (non path) extrude. Or any basic solid. (vwx file attached below) extrudeplanar.vwx Quote Link to comment
BillW Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Fill attribute error: That's an easy fix. I'll add to the next release when I fix the shape symbol bug (which worked in a previous release). Currently, the fill is taken from the class of the EP plugin instance. I have updated the zip file (now "Extrude Tools install 231027.zip") on my website at http://www.whwsolution.co.uk/vectorworks-extrude-path-tools/ to hopefully fix the install file bug. Can you give it a try. Due to the failing Mac install, I suspect it might be an idea to manually delete from the user plugins folder "...Plug-ins/Extrude tools" the following: folder: WW Tools VW files: Marionette EP Tools <VW version>.vwx VW workspace: Architect EP Tools.vww before a new install.

I don't think that's happening either, actually - changing the class of the EP instance doesn't seem to affect anything (with or without "use shape classes" ticked). 1 hour ago, BillW said: I have updated the zip file (now "Extrude Tools install 231027.zip") on my website at http://www.whwsolution.co.uk/vectorworks-extrude-path-tools/ to hopefully fix the install file bug.

Again, it seems like it did actually install everything ok though. Quote Link to comment
