The Company Builder Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I purchased the Step By Step with VectorWorks Architect book. I'm about halfway done with it, but there is one part that I haven't had any success with so far. When it tells me to perform the AEC/Fit Walls To Roof command, I do exactly what it says, but nothing happens.... I have been following all instructions in the book exactly to the letter, and everything else that I have done in the book has worked except this command. I made sure the Roof and Wall layers were at the proper heights, and tried to look for anything else that I might have done wrong (including retracing my steps), but have had no success. Is there anyone else that has had this problem? If so, how did you resolve it? Let me know at your earliest convenience, as I am trying to finish the book before the week's out. Thanks in advance for your swift response. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 After you select the menu, do you get a dialog box asking you how you want to fit the walls to a roof? Quote Link to comment
The Company Builder Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 Yes. It's the same dialog box that was in the Step By Step book. Below are the settings I specified: Constrain Tops of Walls to 3D Geometry is checked. Fit to Geometry On: Mod-Roof Wall top embedding depth", and I leave that at 0" as specified. Constrain Bottoms of Walls to 3D Geometry: Unchecked Curved Wall Fit Interval: 1'6" (this was unchanged) Wall Fitting Reference: Center (this was unchanged) Quote Link to comment
Peter Eichel Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Dorian, make sure the roof class (not the layer) is on. I had this same problem and this was the solution. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Also, make sure that the "fit to" objects are on a different layer than the Walls you are fitting... Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 with the fit walls to roof command, you will find that if you place the walls on one layer and the roof on the other you will have much better results. Quote Link to comment
The Company Builder Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 Thank you Peter! It worked exactly as you said. I turned on the roof class, and it worked! Thanks so much for your input. If I have any more questions, I'll definitely let everyone know. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment
