Christiaan Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Where do I control the fill attribute of the stair tool when I've taken a Section Viewport through it? I want it to show a concrete hatch in a hidden line render. 1 Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Here's an example. I have every attribute I can find set to Class, which is set to a concrete hatch, but it displays as white and vertical lines in the section viewport. Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 You have the class of the components set to . This is a bug. Set these classes to the concrete class and it will be ok. 1 Quote Link to comment

It's the "Stair Structure" attribute that controls the fill in section view. DWorks said: You have the class of the components set to . This is a bug. Set these classes to the concrete class and it will be ok. Further to this you can't rely on changing Top face, Bottom face, Front face and Inside/Outside separately (this will then just say "different attributes"). Instead you have to change the whole lot at once by double clicking on "Stair Structure". Edit: one more thing: you can't have the "Stair Structure" open. It has to be collapsed before you can double click it. Lovely stuff. Edited November 10, 2021 by Christiaan 1 Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 The funny thing is that once I reported a bug, they said it was like designed and that they always try to make it simple for the user, but the more I came acros things like this, the more I think it's for making it simple for their own sakes and not for the user.

Alan H Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Just came across this issue today, thanks for posting this Deiter & Christiaan that solved my problem. A concrete stair should have its class and fill set by default to show concrete, sometimes I wonder how VW logic works! (Maybe that is an upgrade for the future :laugh:) Edited September 13, 2012 by Alan H Quote Link to comment
Stéphane Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) @Christiaan, I had exactly the same question 9 years later, thank you for having asked it, and thank you @Dieter @ DWorks for the answers, as always. Both of you, help me a lot, more than you think. Edited July 16, 2021 by Stéphane 1 Quote Link to comment
