FKA Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Hello, I'm wondering if it's possible to change or define the small icon/symbol that appears when a cable route crosses multiple design layers. Thanks in advance! Florian Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nikolay Zhelyazkov Posted May 19 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 19 Hello @FKA, Currently this is not possible as it is not using a symbol but basic graphics. I will log a wishlist in our database about this. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Conrad Preen Posted May 19 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 19 @FKA at the time we were planning this feature there was some debate about how to visualise this. The way people show vertical paths between layers will vary across the world so it would be great if you could post here the icon you would like so we can include it in content when we develop this feature.

FKA Posted May 19 Author Share Posted May 19 @Conrad PreenSounds great! The symbol is fine, but I’d prefer it to be a bit bigger. In an older project (before this feature was implemented), I created it manually using this symbol. But I’m not picky—anything that’s a bit more visible than the current icon would work for me 😉 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Conrad Preen Posted May 20 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 20 @FKA I've seen arrows used in this way before, and I've seen arrows pointing at the circle with the level number in the circle. Be nice to track down a standard for this kind of thing. Quote Link to comment
Thomas R Posted Tuesday at 08:52 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:52 PM Hello Conrad, I hope it is ok if I place an idea here. According to EN 60617, the following symbols are used a lot in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. We supplement the symbols “cable upwards” or “cable downwards” with height information in relation to the storey height. Thank you very much and have a nice day. Best Thomas 1 Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Conrad Preen Posted Wednesday at 11:47 AM Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted Wednesday at 11:47 AM @Thomas R Great! Thanks for the input! We will log an enhancement request for this. Can't promise when but it will work its way thru the system. Anyone else from another part of the world feel free to add your 2c worth. It would be nice to cover everyone's needs. Conrad 2 Quote Link to comment
