Ken Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 My roof is often on a different layer from my walls. So when this situation occurs, there's no seam line at the underside of the roof where the wall meets it. Seams elsewhere when you don't want, no seams when you do want. This is already Vectorworks version 2012. Any solution? Quote Link to comment
Farookey Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Ken... Yes, and No... I'll explain when I get back from lunch in about an hours time... Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 If you're using Vectorworks 2012 and a sheet layer viewport there is a new solution. Choose Hidden Line Rendering, click on Rendering Settings (either foreground or background) and select "Generate Intersecting Lines" in the options. This should do what you want....

bcd Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Did you use Fit Walls to Roof? Quote Link to comment

This is a good new feature. Also the new foreground and background options are helpful. Quote Link to comment
Farookey Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Ken... It seems that when the fit walls to roof is used, although the high peak of the wall may be directly in-line with the bottom of the roof (or 3D object), the end point of the wall is a slight umph above the bottom (or inside) the 3D object or roof. Straight walls seem to work fine, and therefore the work-around for the pitched roof walls would be to double click the wall, and edit the slight offset manually on the end vertex of the wall. You may have to draw lines to snap to the right position, or use the adjacent (perpendicular) straight wall to get the desired height. This would give you the clean finish, but if you are using 2012, and their new hidden line option to generate intersecting surfaces is not too memory intensive, then that would be the quickest way to do this... Hope this was helpful... Regards Quote Link to comment
