DIZNEY Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Using VW 10: whenever I copy a floor plan- the walls of the copied and orginal plan are no longer joined together, but disconnected- I have to go back and join them together- every time I make copy- any one know what the problem might be-is there some preference or button I need to push?

Guest Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Are you selecting walls and copying them to the same document, different layer or in another drawing? Quote Link to comment
DIZNEY Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 I am mostly copying them in the same file- right next to the original- same layer Quote Link to comment
The Hamma Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 I also have problems keeping walls connected. I like to use the polygon reshape tool to reshape plans. I have done it this way since version 9 but now I have to rejoin the walls when I do this. I am using VW 10.5 on a windows machine Quote Link to comment
DIZNEY Posted October 28, 2003 Author Share Posted October 28, 2003 I figured out my problem- I believe it is related to the VW 10- enable connected walls mode- I used to put a marquee around a group of walls- duplicate and move into place- apparently this is no longer an option- one person told me to put a marquee around the walls and then use duplicate array- seems a little more cumbersome- but I'm getting used to that- does anyone know of a better way- and could the connected walls mode feature be disabled in the next version? please?

Kristen Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 It can actually be disabled in this version. Go to Vector Works Preferences -> Edit menu and unclick "Auto Join Walls". Quote Link to comment
DIZNEY Posted October 31, 2003 Author Share Posted October 31, 2003 thanks for the info- that solved my problem- but does it make sense to have to turn off the auto join preference to keep your walls joined? Quote Link to comment
