nca777 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Is there no way to snap to viewport objects? Theres gotta be...what am I missing? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Sheet Layers are always at 1:1 scale while the viewport is usually at a different scale. In order to be able to snap to objects shown in the viewport enter the Annotions group of the viewport so you are working in the same scale as the objects being shown in the viewport. Right click or double click on the viewport and choose Edit Annotations. Quote Link to comment

Right click or double click on the viewport and choose Edit Annotations. I am referring to DLVP (Design Layer ViewPorts), not Sheet Layers. I am referencing an architects IFC building (via VW shuttle file) into a master site plan drawing. I have rotated, moved, and elevated the DLVP (building) to the correct location elevations based on the cad survey. All good to this point. The problem comes when I need to SNAP to the objects being referenced via the viewport. It seems I am completely unable to snap to the viewport objects no matter the settings I try.

bcd Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 It it generally possible. It may be that you need to restart VW to give it a chance to do some clearing and try it again. If you can upload the file or a sample file we can take a look. Quote Link to comment

A lot of really weird stuff going on though--if I start a new blank file and reference in the same file(s), snapping works. However, re-referencing the file into the original document fixes snapping (seemingly), but when I rotate to isometric view the referenced model disappears and the dtm changes color...bizarre. Is there some kind of origin issue perhaps? Kind of lost here now, thought I had it all figured out. Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Does your DLVP have a crop object? If so try and delete it. It sounds like your graphics card might be having a spot of trouble. Maybe try a purge. Quote Link to comment

I'll continue to troubleshoot and post back. thank you. Quote Link to comment
