VincentCuclair Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Is this working as designed or is it an oversight? Stairs with Stringer Outside don't show a fill in section viewports. Edited September 23, 2014 by Vincent C Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 i was told that some complex objects like stars will not work at this time Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 23, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 23, 2014 Looks like it isnt all "solid" objects yet, only objects that are considered "solids" such as generic solids, extrudes, solid additions and subtractions. Quote Link to comment
ida Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) I cant seem to cut the stair correct in a section viewport. The middle landing gets a fill, but not the stair. Is there some settings i am missing? Edited September 30, 2015 by ida Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I hope there will be a way to avoid these Stair Problems by doing their geometry with Parasolid Modeler one day as it was done for Roof Objects a while ago. I think Clip Cubes and creating Cut Faces is one of the biggest Problems in Software History I have never seen this working perfectly in any Software Package. The Problem with Stairs Objects not being Solids but some kind of Meshes, often with Faces having wrong Face Normals Direction, leads to Problems in Rendering, especially GI calculations, and for most Exports. Strange, but FBX Export seems to do a quite good job in correcting this problem and those of other parametric objects like Windows. Quote Link to comment
gester Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 clip cubes are not supposed to show the exact geometries with the materials, otherwise their performance would be lost. it's only a visualisation tool. even the bentley's hypermodelling is relying on the 2d drawings for detailing. rob Quote Link to comment
gester Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I cant seem to cut the stair correct in a section viewport. The middle landing gets a fill, but not the stair. Is there some settings i am missing? have you tried the advanced section properties, the 'attributes' tab (section plane)? and what is your stair's construction type, btw? rob Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hi All, I believe this is an "undocumented feature" of the stair and has been submitted... Wes Quote Link to comment
ida Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Hi, According to my Norwegian vectorworks support guy it's a bug, but works in 2016. But we are not moving the project over to 2016 before we have to send out the sections. It helped a bit to change some of the settings like Rob suggested, but it still does not cut correctly. Just have to fake it in annotations.... Its a concrete stair. Ida Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Cool seems to work ! just not for the Clip Cube, but for the section viewport you create from ... Quote Link to comment
ida Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hi, Now in 2016 and the stair still does not cut correctly.... Ida Quote Link to comment
Diamond Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hi, Additionally, I have been finding similar issues with slab objects that have a number of subtractions or additions applied to them. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Stéphane Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Is the issue solved in VW 2021 ? Quote Link to comment
