jointer Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hi - We're having a problem with inserting a door symbol into a wall. To avoid repetitive work, we usually copy a door with the settings we want and then insert the copy into the wall. Typically, we don't have any issues with inserting windows or doors into walls; however, we've encountered a situation where a door (or window--the problem is also showing up with window insertion) cannot be inserted into a wall in our model. To be clear, we've tried testing this issue out on a plain generic 6" wall with no other objects on top or below the wall to interfere with the insertion process. The door simply floats over the wall, without inserting. Windows also have the same problem. We are able to insert doors and windows when using the door or window tools, but now VW doesn't seem to want to let us insert these objects as we have done for years. We've tried quitting and restarting both VW and our machines with no results. Anyone have a clue on how to fix this? J Quote Link to comment
brudgers Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 verify that the correct option on the toolbar is selected when you are using the copied doors and windows. Quote Link to comment
jointer Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 Thanks for the reply. Toggling the wall insertion mode button fixed it. Turns out the wall insertion mode somehow got turned off (not sure how that happened as we've not had a need to turn it off). Thanks a lot. J Quote Link to comment
maarten. Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 You probable accidentally hit a short key to the toolbar. You can change/turn them off in the Workspace editor (last tab page). Quote Link to comment
