Change layer

[kellhammer]

If I draw a floor plan on the wrong layer, what is the easiest way to put it on the desired layer. Copy/paste doesn't seem to work

[Gerrit]

Paste in Place ?

Or use the OIP popup layer list.

Eventually uncheck/check the "Wall Height connected to the layer Z value".

Could you elaborate? I'm new to VW and so far I really think it could really improve my practice. Is OIP the "object layer palette"?

[Ray Libby]

Object Info Palette. Window menu > Palettes > Object Info

Be sure to select all and then in the object info palette, select the layer to put it on from the pull down list. Otherwise, I typically select the objects, use cut, navigate to the correct layer and paste in place

I guess I should describe what I am doing

I imported a PDF floor plan to a layer I created to have it reside in.

Then I traced over the PDF plan with my selected wall types.

I forgot to change the active layer to the apprpriate model floor plan and drew it on the layer I created for the PDF floor plan to reside on.

Now I try to cut and paste the only VW walls and move them to my desired mod floor plan worksheet. When I do this it shows up as a elevation of the floor plan. Why?

[Gerrit]

Sounds like your target layer is in an elevation view. Check the View Menu > Standard Views, and switch to Top/Plan.

[kellhammer]

That got it!. Fixed thank you

Also keep in mind that individual design layers can be in different views, such as plan, top plan, elevation, isometric or perspective. to force all visible layers to a certain view, try using stack layers under the view menu. or change the standard view on while each layer is active.
