JohnS Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I am trying to get a section viewport to show the component parts of a slab and wall. I have selected to show component parts and to have them merge in the advanced settings, but all it does is show the outling without any of the materials. I've also played around with the different foreground settings. What am I doing wrong? Quote Link to comment
VincentCuclair Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Check the Document settings (or VW prefs?) somewhere in there you can choose at which scale the wall components are shown/ not shown........the setting is probably set to a fairly small (or large?) scale. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted September 26, 2010 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 26, 2010 On "display" tab of Advanced Section Properties, check "Show Wall and Slab" components and the "Merge..." checkbox indented below it. On the "Attributes" tab, choose "Separate Cross Sections" and check "Use attributes of original objects." Quote Link to comment
JohnS Posted September 26, 2010 Author Share Posted September 26, 2010 OK the attributes settings did the trick. I did notice though in B&W only that some of the perimeter and lines of the components don't show up. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
