cameramam555 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Anyone have any suggestions as to why fascia board, when requested in roof accessory window, appears to be at ground floor level? thanks Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 One of my colleagues came across a similar issue yesterday but with the soffit. Interested in a solution too. Quote Link to comment
Chris D Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 One of my colleagues came across a similar issue yesterday but with the soffit. Interested in a solution too. Imagine my surprise when one of my colleagues asked me the very same thing this morning. Fascia and soffit are on the floor instead of the roof.. Any answers? Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 No answer here unfortunately Chris. Quote Link to comment
cameramam555 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hi Guys, OMG if neither of you top VW gurus know then I may get depressed! Look forward to any help on this one as it makes the roof tool of limited practical use. Have resorted to using wall tool for soffite/fascia for the moment. Quite a lot of control really this way c/w roof tool accessories, even when they do work, especially on existing buildings. Have found both your comments v useful for work arounds/guidance on the forums (saved many a presentation disaster) Please keep it up! Quote Link to comment
Chris D Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I can't speak for Christiaan, but just because I hang around here a lot doesn't make me a guru...in fact I've only begun 3D working recently (mainly because VW was so bad previously I didn't bother...). I've learned that if you keep threads on here alive long enough....a guru will show up eventually though... Quote Link to comment
VincentCuclair Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 .......as it makes the roof tool of limited practical use. As it is becoming for quite a few of the BIM tools in general..... Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Same here, for the record I'm not a top VW guru. I'm just noisy. There are people here who acquired a copy of MiniCAD when they were still in a pram I think. Quote Link to comment
cameramam555 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Will persevere with roof tool, but am getting close to dumping roof storey and drawing lines/polys over elevation views, the fees can't take it...' Ah, miniCAD...jumpers for goalposts...did what it said on the tin(mostly) Quote Link to comment
Tom G. Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hopefully this is a bug. My first 3D model converted into Vwks 2012 caused all of my parametric columns to reset themselves to zero elevation. Tom Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 It's a bug with SP3. Apparently it works okay in SP1 and SP2. Quote Link to comment
TLC Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I have the same problem with soffits & fascias sitting at floor level, and the roof is way up. VERY frustrating! VW, please fix this bug. Quote Link to comment
Kizza Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) Just recently hit this snag too! Soffits and fascias sit helplessly on 0 elevation. And it's not as if you can select it and lift it back up - they are locked on ground level. You know, I was thinking, if this happened on any other product or service I'd probably consider asking for some sort of compensation/discount for the loss of features. Any VW user who has downloaded and installed SP3 should get a 20% discount for a 2013 upgrade. Will persevere with roof tool, but am getting close to dumping roof storey and drawing lines/polys over elevation views, the fees can't take it...' For two significant features of the roof tool to be broken in a service pack is totally unacceptable IMO. Edited May 26, 2012 by Kizza Quote Link to comment
Patrick Fritsch Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Same problem here, i'm new to this software and I had hopes of greener pastures but it's starting to appear that it's got all the same issues as the competitions...Half-baked software programing... All the same issues as ADT circa 2005. We're on a road to nowhere! Oh yeah we're takin' our time. Quote Link to comment
MaleXLR Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 So... the Boss said "Why can I see the underside of the opposite roof under the barge board?" and I said "No problem, we'll just add a soffit to the roof!". Imagine the Client's surprise when they walk out of the front door and trip over the soffit at ground level! Is Nemetschek hoping that this problem goes away of its own accord??? (P.S. I'm writing this while waiting to see if VectorWorks recovers from another "not responding" message! Professional software should not do this so regularly!) Quote Link to comment
