Site Model - Existing/Proposed Visibility

[ericjhberg]

I feel like this functionality has flip-flopped over the course of Vectorworks site modeling, but we need resolution in the current v2025 and what we're seeing for the Site Model Existing + Proposed 2D visibility.

 

What is currently happening is that the PROPOSED contours extend beyond the Grade Limits...overlapping with the existing contours.

What SHOULD happen is that the PROPOSED contours should be limited to within Grade Limits, and ONLY the existing contours should be visible outside the Grade Limits.

Thanks for reporting this @ericjhberg. I am seeing the same issue with Vectorworks 2025 Update 5—Can you confirm this is the same version you are using?

For internal—I've reported it VB-213789.

Thank you. I feel like it has worked as desired in some versions and breaks down in others. No matter what, it never works in the version I am using when submitting plans...

The same issue in 2026.

There does not appear to be anything wrong in your second image, presuming the blue line is your grading limits.  It looks like you simply have both the existing and proposed contours showing, which is an option.

Yes indeed 🙂 I used proposed+existing 2D display, but if you take a closer look: yellow marked area contours show up correctly, however blue marked area proposed contours overlap existing contours
