Tobias Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I've recently upgraded to VW 12.5.1, I'm having trouble with the stair PIO. The first problem is relatively minor, I can't get the stair object to take the class line color, I need to set the line color to the color I want instead of using the "Class Style" The second problem is worse. If I have a stair object that is linked to 2 floors, Floor 1 and Floor 2, the stairway function normally on the Floor 1, it displays in 2d in Plan view, and in 3d in isometric. The same stair object however, on the Floor 2 does not project in 3d. It shows up in plan view, but stays in 2d for isometric views. I have tried updating all plugins, reinstalling the Stair PIO, reseting plugins, removing and adding the Stair PIO all with no luck. Any one else seeing this. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted June 10, 2007 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 10, 2007 This is normal behavior. The stair tool draws in 3D only on its lower floor. Otherwise the 3D geometry would be drawn twice. Quote Link to comment
Tobias Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 Okay, but the problem is if I'm on a design layer, Floor-1 and use the fly over tool, the stairway acts as expected, the 2d stair pio turns 3d and I can rotate it around. If I activate the fly over tool on the design layer Floor 2 (the upper floor), the stair stays 2d and doesn't disappear, so the stair stays in 2d while everything else goes 3d. So I end up with a view with everything in 3d, but the stair still in 2d plan view. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Do you have "Stack Layers" active?? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted June 11, 2007 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 11, 2007 toobiloo, I understand your problem. Peter's right in that "stack layers" should alleviate this, but this is a bug. Could you submit it to our bug tracking system? Quote Link to comment
Tobias Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 Done. Thanks for the help. BTW, I didn't even have the Stack Layers command in the view menu. I added it, and when I activated it, the problem went away, unchecked, the problem came right back. Quote Link to comment
