Editing profiles of path hardscape site modifiers

[Jack2022]

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.

To add,

 

often the profile is created in a nice curve as below. in this case there is no problem.

I just ran into this problem.   I was able to move/reshape the transverse profile about 30 minutes ago, but now I'm unable to.  I'm in the "Move Polygon Handle" mode, the square reshape handles appear on the transverse profile, but my cursor doesn't change to the reshape mode when hovering over the handle.   Restarting VW did nothing.

For whatever reason, this fixed it.  I accessed the Tool Modes through the Smart Options Display by hitting the space bar.  Choosing the reshape mode there made it able to reshape the transverse profile.  HTH

Thanks for the responses. 

 

I seem to be able to adjust the transverse profiles ok - just not the main profile. I noticed that if you break a hardscape down into smaller pieces the original profile is better placed and doesn't need amending. Seems a bit random.

 

Would be good if an update made the tool work as presumably intended.
