2D polys to 3D contours

[Paul P]

I have started the exercise, VWA Tutorial Manual (J Pickup)

When I go through the section to create the site model the 3d loci do not appear.

I have reduced this to a simple exercise and still no result.

I have:

1 created three contours in a file with just one design layer. they are polygons of five vertices each, confirmed in object info.

2)go to AEC survey input/ 2D polys to 3D contours

3) dialogue box: start elevation 1000

interval 1000

create 3D loci

OK

4) set elevation (as input previously)

press next/next/next

" would you like to delete your original 2D polygons?"

Yes

the page is blank

why can I not see or why aren't there any (15) 3D loci visible on the page please?

I also tried to place 3D loci using the 3D loci tool, randomly on the page to no avail. What am I missing?

thanks

Paul

send me the file and let me see it.

check your class options, show/snap/modify others

what about a Vectorworks preference...

Tools > Options > Vectorworks Preferences > Display > Display 3D Loci....

Thank you Jonathon, the 3D loci were turned off in the preferences.

I have progressed with the model but the contours arent showing in the terrain model.

I seem to have the settings correct.

There is a loci on visible on the 3D model that shows as property line in object info.

I cant seem to show the contours?

suggestions appreciated

thank you

Paul
