lucylou Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Is there a way of viewing all the layers/floors of a model (ie a house) at the same time without creating a viewport? I am trying to find a way to export our vectorworks model into sktech up so that we can do fly-round movies. However as when you export even into autocad all the layers end up on top of each other instead of at their correct height. ie ground floor, then first floor etc. Im sure when i was learning vectorworks there was a way like linking the layers or something? I cant remember what its called therefore i cant search for it in help/manuals! any suggestions in the best way to set up 3d models is most appreciated too! many thanks ) Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 You can make a seperate layer and layer link all the other layers. That's the way we do it so we can view our model. Quote Link to comment

Pat Stanford Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 You can also use Stack Layers mode to get the proper Z heights to display for models on different layers. Pat Quote Link to comment
lucylou Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks for that, think the stack layers is the way forward, had tried it, just not turned the layers on! mike, i dont have the layer link button where has it gone??!!!! Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 It should be there under the standard Architect workspace. If it isn't in your Workspace add it with the Workpace Editor. Quote Link to comment
lucylou Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks. Have added it into my workspace... and also found a whole other world of commands i never new existed! Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 You can also use the Model View tool (Visualization menu) to set up Layer Linked views of your model information. Quote Link to comment
