tim woolcott Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) 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 Edited June 17, 2012 by tim woolcott Quote Link to comment
Farookey Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 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. HTH Quote Link to comment
tim woolcott Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 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 Nemetschek Quote Link to comment
