Edward Williams Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I am using VW 2008 Designer for Mac. Sometimes when I insert a door the wall breaks other times the wall does not break. I am using the door tool from the Building Shell tool set. Help Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Make sure that the tip of your pointer is inside the wall before you release it. If you try to move a door or window and have the pointer outside the wall, the object will jump out. Also, make sure you have the Wall Insertion Mode set in the 2D Selection tool. It is the second mode option in the 2D selection tool and the door and window tools. If this is not set, the object will not cut the wall. You could be accidentaly toggling it with the I key (that is the letter i). Quote Link to comment
Edward Williams Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Thanks for the guidance. I verified that the mode settings are correct and now I am able to insert doors without any problems. Quote Link to comment
Yoginathaswami Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hi Pat, since we are talking about door...Do you know (or anyone else) why when I nudge the inserted door the entire wall moves with it? I am wondering if there is a way to nudge the door without messing up the wall's position? Thanks Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 You can either drag the door or use the Move command. (Modify>Move) It has a cool, new and improved functionality for VW 2009 for objects in walls. You can also use the Set Position button in the OIP. Click on a reference point, then on a piece of the door. A dialog box appears telling you the current distance. Enter the distance you wish it was... Not as good as being able to nudge, but... Maybe that's a good item for the wish list. An option+arrow combination that moves objects in walls along the wall. hth michaelk Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 The other option is to use the 2D Reshape tool and draw a Marquee around the Door (or window) you can then nudge everything that is inside the marquee. Just be careful as you get to the end of the wall as once you nudge the marquee so the wall end points are inside it they will then nudge also. Quote Link to comment
Yoginathaswami Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Thanks Michael, Pat. I will add the request to the wish list. Quote Link to comment
