Better Walls & Floor Plans as horizontal Sections - New Type of Layer
Layers should have an option whether they are 1.) the equivalent of tracing paper, or a 2.) vertical spatial container.
1. "Tracing Paper" Layer
Everything would be as it is now.
2.) "Spatial" Layer
Hybrid and 3D objects would appear on every layer according to their actual 3D dimensions. We could draw walls that span several stories (without the problem of seam lines in sections and elevations). The need to draw vertical building elements several times on several layers woul
Mike, I am talking about something completely new (for Vectorworks), not about a workaround.
This is what I am suggesting:
With "spatial" layers "on", you draw a wall with a base level of x and several stories high only once. It will automagically appear in every layer in between. There is no need to worry in which layer to draw that wall or to draw several walls in different layers. The wall will be the same object in each "spatial" layer.
The 2D representation of that wall should be a
