VW 2025 - stair's 2D cut graphic with profile line on mess up the 2D graphic - long standing issue

[Pavol D.]

Hello community,

 

This one is long standing issue: 2D cut graphic in horizontal section vp with profile line on = profile line all over the place = mess

 

Vectorworks please, please, provide option to turn off profile line altogether for stair's 2D cut graphic in HSVP until this get fixed. In fact, we would prefer not to include profile line in cut graphic at all. We are pretty OK with just clean 2D cut graphic when stair cutted in HSVP, no need to have profile line there. Profile line for vertical section is working fine and is needed.

This is result when stair object cutted and profile line is on (separate cross sections):

 

This one is really urgent!

There is no other object causing this kind of issues when cut through in horizontal section viewport when profile line on in advanced settings ... and there is no easy fix for that either.

 

What we do last 2-3 years we ungroup stair in top/plan view and add resulting clean 2D cut graphic to annotation space to overlay ill stair's graphic generated by viewport. And of course this procedure need to be done for all stairs in all plans!

 

@Matt Panzer any information on possible fix coming soon?

 

 

Thanks,

Pavol

Hi Pavol,

There are actually a few bugs reported that are related to this and I think the root of the problem is that the stair is internally tagged to merge with structural objects in sections.  This makes sense for the 3D component of the stair for vertical sections but creates a problem for horizontal sections because the 2D component that displays is really of the stair below the cut (and only has symbolic break lines).  I commented on one of the bugs (VB-170406) to see what might be possible to get this fixed.
