Default story settings


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm trying to set up the story settings in the organize window and I'm having a problem. When I go into the 'Edit default story layers...' window I alter the height of the layer (in this case Floor-Fo) and click OK but this isn't reflected in the 'Edit storey' window, the level remains as the original height.

here

I've tried with different layers, closed the file and re-opened it, started from a new file and it still doesn't behave. This is driving me mad, is there a known issue, and is there a fix/work round.

Many thanks

Tim

Hi...

Welcome to VW Community Board...

I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but if I understand you correctly, VW is working as it should. The change in the 'Default Story Layers' dialog will only come into effect on the subsequent story created. Existing stories will remain as they were, and must be changed manually. Try creating a new story after making the change in the defaults, and check if it works how you expect it to.

HI Farookey,

Thanks for the post, I was getting confused with the dialogue boxes,

In the end a got a good explanatory email from Nemetchek help desk.

Hi Tim,

This can be a bit misleading, though it's actually working

as-designed... Default Story Layers are basically just a template,

they're only used to create the Stories and their Story Layers, so once

those story layers are created they can no longer be controlled by the

template. If you want to change the properties of a story layer after

its story has been created, you'll need to edit the individual design

layers themselves. The same thing goes for the Story prefix/suffix, once

those story layers are created the only way to change their name

(including prefix/suffix) is to manually edit and rename them.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best Regards,

Tim Connors
