eamon Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Hi all I am not sure if I am in the right forum for this question. I am at the rendering stage of a 3D venue I am drawing. This is my first venture into this type of work etc. I am attaching a screen shot of my door. The red circular structure is a wall made from the wall tool. The door is purposely away from the wall but was created in the wall etc. I am wondering how to be able to look through the door and not see the wall in the opening etc? I have tried to remove solids but that did not work. WIthout redrawing the wall I am stumped. The render is Open GL. On another note; can anybody recommend any tutorials or guides for drawing in 3D & rendering. I am at the stage where I need to sit down with someone etc. Self thought to this point and looking for guidance. many thanks eamon Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Hi Eamon, You have a couple of options. 1) - open the door. In the Object Info Palette check 3d Open and enter the angle. 2) - turn off the door class As for training - I provide on-site and remote training in Vectorworks Spotlight, Architect, Landmark & Renderworks. I'll PM you with some details. Brian Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) When you select the door, does the Object Info palette say Door in Wall? It should do. If it doesn't, then the door is not correctly inserted in the wall. Try dragging the door to the wall again. If it is not inserted correctly, check your tool bar settings, you might have the Wall Insertion Mode turned off For training, don't forget to get the tutorial manuals from the Vectorworks site. I also provide online training. Edited February 10, 2013 by Jonathan Pickup Quote Link to comment
eamon Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hi guys Thanks for the replies. I have looked at the various options you have both outlined above. The door is still not showing the opening. I have set the angle in the 3D section. It is most likely that I do not have the door properly set in the wall. My doors (there are 4) all open out through the walls (kinda obvious) but the doors themselves are recessed away from the wall which I reckon is half the problem. Can you reference a door to a wall even if it does not form part of the wall? Does that make sense? The building is a very tricky one to draw but nearly there. I will have a look at your offers of training. thanks eamon Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Can you reference a door to a wall even if it does not form part of the wall? part of the door has to part of the wall, but you can put a cased opening in the wall to make the hole, then add the door leaves separately.
