Jean-Marc Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 I am trying to create my first DTM in version 10 (never managed to create one in v.8). I started with 8/ 2d polygons, which I then converted to contours using the "2d poly to 3d contour" function. The new DTM source data went into a new layer. When I try to create a model using this data, I get the message "that menu item is not authorized for use in this application". WHen I click OK, I get a second message reading "A Vectorscript error has occured; Refer to file Error Output for an explanation". Where have I gone wrong? Incidently, I am also confused by the Site Model Dialogue box, which gives me the option to either "create a proposed site model" or "update existing site model". The manual suggests the second selection should actually read "create existing site model". If I am trying to create an existing site model, do I select "update existing site model?

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted February 4, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 4, 2003 What version of VWL are you using, and on what OS? Quote Link to comment
Jean-Marc Posted February 4, 2003 Author Share Posted February 4, 2003 I am using version 10.0.0, with Windows 98 (640mgs RAM). Quote Link to comment
Jean-Marc Posted February 5, 2003 Author Share Posted February 5, 2003 To check whether the problem was with the file I was working on, I set up a new document with just 4 2d polygons. I then converted these to 3D loci, as per manual instructions. However, once again, when I tried to set up the model, I got the same "that menu item is not authorized for this application" message. I also noticed that the at my first attempt at creating the model, the model dialogue box gave me a choice to select "Create proposed site model", but pre-selected the option to Create an Existing model (checked and grayed, as it should be). When I tried a second time, I was then given an option to edit both the proposed and existing models, as though a model had in fact been created. However, I see no evidence of a model in my simple 2 layer drawing. [ 02-05-2003, 08:43 AM: Message edited by: Jean-Marc ] Quote Link to comment
Jean-Marc Posted February 5, 2003 Author Share Posted February 5, 2003 By the way, the script error # is 139-58 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted February 5, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 5, 2003 Download the 10.0.1 updater and this bug will be fixed. Go to the VectorWorks Downloads page . If you look at the VectorWorks LANDMARK fixes on the bug fixes page relating to this release, you will find your bug. Quote Link to comment
Jean-Marc Posted February 5, 2003 Author Share Posted February 5, 2003 Thanks Robert. This may sound like a "novice" question, but will downloading the 10.0.1 updater affect my new plant entries in the PRD Utility, or my new plant attribute strings in the VW Plant Reference Database?

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted February 5, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 5, 2003 The short answer is probably. You should keep archival copies of stuff you customize, so you can restore it if necessary. Quote Link to comment
