Imported 3D Objects have no z value

[pjjmcc]

Hi All, 

quick question here, I'm importing 3D bathroom symbols, which render properly in a 3D view, but when trying to manage height 'Z' value, there is no 'Z' field in the Object Info box.

Q. Is there a way to force VW to give an object a Z value, or am I missing something, thanks.

regards

P.

I would assign the Z-value to the Symbol or even use a Story Level assignment.

 

Currently you have selected a group which has no height.

You can right click or double click to edit and control Z Values of the objects inside the group.

^ This. If you create a Symbol from the group you will get direct control over Z. It has been requested that Group objects have a Z parameter as well, but for the time being they will not.

I think it is good that groups have and do not need a Z value.

It is just a virtual net around some things that keeps them together.

But it is ok for me if they will get their own Z value one time,

for those how want to use them as Symbol Light.

One difference between Symbols and Groups is that Symbols have a defined Insertion Point whereas Groups do not. So a Z parameter references a Symbol's Insertion Point, while for a group it would be less clear what that Z-value is actually referring to.
