Christiaan Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Any idea why a symbol isn't inserting into a Roof? I've already done it successfully earlier today. Now it just doesn't want to insert. Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 It must be a 3D symbol, so no 2D parts? Quote Link to comment
MogTheSmilingCat Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Slap me if it's too obvious, but "wall insertion mode" turned off? I know it says "wall", but it seems to control insertion into roof objects too... Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Ow, that's new. Maybe they should change the name of it into something like host insertion mode? Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 It must be a 3D symbol, so no 2D parts? Except if it's a symbol of a window object right? Because I managed to insert one of those earlier in the day. Slap me if it's too obvious, but "wall insertion mode" turned off? I know it says "wall", but it seems to control insertion into roof objects too... No, doesn't seem to be the problem. Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Are you guys able to insert one into a roof? Maybe I updated to SP3 in between being able to to do it and not being able to do it? Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 I've noticed I can insert some symbols, just not the one I've previously inserted. See attached file. Try inserting the symbol into the roof again. Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 One workaround is to insert a symbol that will insert into the roof and then edit that symbol by replacing its contents with the window you want to use. Quote Link to comment
SonnyLuong Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Try a fresh symbol from VW's library and edit it to the way you like later in OIP. Those self made symbols or hybrid windows from the window tool tend to be rejected! Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 I'll submit a bug report. Quote Link to comment
Paul Chapman Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 does this awesome feature still work in 2018? for some reason I cant get any symbol at all to insert into the roof. Quote Link to comment
Paul Chapman Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I did get it to work in a simple roof with 4 walls associated to the roof, but my roof seems to complex. seems the roof needs walls associated. Quote Link to comment
