Nicholas Dexter Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Can vectorworks drop objects to the point of intersection with a surface? I know Send to Surface works with DTM's. My aim is to drop 3D loci in the Z direction until it hits upon an imported terrain so I can then run the Site Model command to create a new complex DTM. Hope this makes sense.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted April 7, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 7, 2014 I had thought Send to Surface worked on more than just Site Model surfaces, but apparently not. Putting in a request for either a new command or an enhancement to Send to Surface now. Quote Link to comment
Nicholas Dexter Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 That would be great. Thanks Jim. btw sketchup has a drop to Z vertices plugin which seems allows me to model in 3D within SU > then import back into VW > then I get the contours auto calculated etc. This saves me fiddling with the (for me) unintuitive site modifier tools. However, working this way I do not get the benefit of cut and fill. Nick Quote Link to comment
