jmartinarch Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Why are my windows filled? The class they are on is set to 'no fill'. In the attributes palette I can change the fill type and color to anything except 'nothing'. Where is this class controlled? I normally just give up and use a white fill. Is this what we are supposed to do or give it a color besides white? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted June 18, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 18, 2015 In the "Classes" pane of the Edit Window dialog. Also, if you want it controlled by the class, set Class Style/Color by Class for the attribute palette of the Window for both the pen and fill, unless I am misunderstanding the question.

jmartinarch Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Currently all classes are except for glazing. Is just a generic placeholder? Or is it referring to the class (whatever it may be) that you insert windows on? hence the < >. Currently I do not have a 'window' class. Quote Link to comment
jmartinarch Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Jim, I doubt you are missing anything. I know I'm missing something. Look at these settings. I made 'windows' class a blue fill so it would be obvious. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted June 18, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 18, 2015 In that image, the Fill Style is set to class but the Fill Color is not. Click the color then select "Color by Class" from the top. Then edit that class and make sure "Use Class Attributes" near the top is checked. (Sometimes it can become stuck and unchecking, clicking OK, then editing it and re-checking it will prompt to change the attributes for all objects in that class automatically. But thats less common in recent versions) Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Hi, Have you looked at the window in 3d? what i see on the image often occurs when the window is not actually in the wall. In the window dialogue box does it give you an option to flip the window? if it does its in the wall, then you may have 2 walls on top of each other. HTH Quote Link to comment
sle7en7 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I can't get windows without any fill either... always end up with windows with white fill... Quote Link to comment
sle7en7 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 The same thing happens with the column object too I believe... anyone know a fix? Or did this issue get addressed in the VW2016 SP3? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted April 18, 2016 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 18, 2016 I was able to replicate the issue with Windows, but not Columns at all. Before or after placing a column object, if all components are set to the column's class, i can control it either via that classes attributes or by disabling class attributes and changing the columns fill manually via the attribute palette. I am using 2016 SP3 however, but I don't recall columns or fill attributes getting any fixes off the top of my head and I see nothing in the sp3 patch notes about it. Quote Link to comment
sle7en7 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Thanks a lot Jim, yea I can't figure it out either but I do need an update that's for sure. Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Just thinking out loud...I wonder if the white "background" is a part of the "3D Hole" that cuts the wall? This will be something that is "in the code" and not accessible to us. Quote Link to comment
