JohnS Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 The window wall OIP is very limited, and I was if there an easy way to draw a custom designed window wall and have that converted in to a 3d window wall object? I suppose I can draw it in 2D, then convert to polygons and extrude, put in the glass and do the same process, and then rotate in 3D to where I need it. However......if there is a fast, easier way I am all for that. Any suggestions are appreciated. Quote Link to comment
Miguel Barrera Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Rather than starting from scratch, use the VW pio's to create a base object. 1. Model it as close as what you need using the wall pio 2. Convert to group the 2D definition and create a symbol 3. Convert to group the 3D definition from a copy of the wall pio and add it to the symbol. 4. Edit the symbol and make the desired changes to the 2D & 3D objects. 5. Insert symbol.

JohnS Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 Is there a video on working on working with symbols the way you explained. I am sure I can figure it out, just wondering. Thanks for the quick reply. Quote Link to comment

JohnS Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 So Blind, Were these 3d Model objects that you made into a symbol? John Quote Link to comment
