etweed Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 I just now used the road feature under landmark. It is a great tool. I have a simple road that in my drawing and followed the steps in the book. everything went according to the book until I tried to make the wireframe road grey or even have a gravel texture. So far nothing has worked. Is there something i am missing? et Quote Link to comment
etweed Posted January 22, 2003 Author Share Posted January 22, 2003 I have been adding the color from the attributes palette, but the road still won't take it. I also tried changing the class attributes to have a solid fill pattern and checked the "use at creation" button. Still Nothing. I even tried quitting and coming back in because that solved a problem a week or two ago. I am using the custom renderworks to do the rendering, and the triangulated symbol renders well, (trees too- impressive!), but I still am unable to get the road to go.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted January 22, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 22, 2003 Make sure that the "Use at Creation" button for the None class is UNCHECKED. Quote Link to comment
etweed Posted January 22, 2003 Author Share Posted January 22, 2003 THAT was it. Things work now. Out of curiosity, what other problems does have the none class's "use at creation" box checked create? I had never heard not to do so. et Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted January 22, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 22, 2003 There's a minor bug in Setup in 10.0 that causes this flag to be set on. It causes plug-in objects (such as roads) to be non-colorable. I should have thought of this before (note to self: slap self in forehead.) Quote Link to comment
etweed Posted January 22, 2003 Author Share Posted January 22, 2003 That at least gives me a hint as to where to look in case other problems ever come my way. While I have you, Is there any known problems w/ using Quicktime 6.1? I caught wind of problems with an earlier version conflicting w/ renderworks and consequently never updated from Qt 5. It keeps showing up in my Software Update, but I hesitate until I know there are no problems. et Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted January 23, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 23, 2003 I'm having trouble making the road take on a RenderWorks texture and am looking into that, but giving a road a color in 3D render mode is easy: select the road object(s), and on the Attributes palette, give them a solid color. They will now render in that color. Quote Link to comment
