Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted October 21, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 21, 2015 I am unable to replicate this, does it happen with a newly made roof in a new document? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted October 21, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 21, 2015 Happens in that doc for me as well, and to any roof object i copy from your file, but in a new file with a new test I cant replicate it. Very odd, but in any case thats plenty for a bug filing, submitting it now. Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 Thanks for that- It looks to be a issue with Styled Roofs. btw Wish: I would like to Clip Roof Components similarly to Slabs. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted October 21, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 21, 2015 Yup that does it, if I add a style or components to the roof it does it, I'll add that info to the bug thank you! I'll submit that wish separately. Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) In the same vein: Roof Faces with components behave unpredictably e.g. these 3 roof faces with a single component cannot be drawn correctly. Edited October 22, 2015 by bcd Quote Link to comment

This is being closely tracked by one of our techs currently, I'll add your example to his case. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Jim There's also an "Add Surface" issue with roof faces. When adding a polygon to a roof face the surface of the roof face behaves like coincident planes when viewed in Open GL. Editing the underlying roof face polygon and adding there produces the expected result. Clip Surface works as expected. Let me know if you need an example. mk Quote Link to comment
Eoin R Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I am having bigger issues with roofs in 2016. We cannot seem to be able to create or view roofs. Have exported the file back to 2015. Opened it in 2015 all works fine but then roofs disappear when imported into 2016. It is not a class visibility issue. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Is "create roof…" or "roof face…" missing from the AEC menu? Can you post a 2015 file with a roof face that doesn't appear in 2016? mk Quote Link to comment
Eoin R Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 The commands are there in the menu but the roof or roof 'face' does not appear. when the command is activated. The objects are visible in top plan view but not in 3d Files are attached. These were created from scratch. Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Your Roof-Main Class is turned off. If you turn it on the roof is there. The 2d you see is the rectangle you used to draw the roof. Quote Link to comment
Eoin R Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 BCD you are right on that small test file switching on the class shows the roof profile. But in our active and larger but not overly complicated working drawings we don't get this no matter how many classes or layers we switch on. Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 There are definitely several roof bugs in VW2016 - I expect engineering is feverishly working to track & resolve them in the next Service Pack. You may find that regenerating the roof will bring it back to life. Try - Tools>Utilities>Reset All Plugins Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Hi, This has been noted as a bug as I understand. Turn off class in top plan view and you can’t touch it, Rotate to 3d (hit 1 on keyboard) and you can’t see it, go back to top plan view and it’s still on. To turn it off - With the class on in top plan view rotate to 3d and turn class off, rotate back to top lane and its off. Strange behaviour. Quote Link to comment
