Hardscapes and Landscape Areas - Styles


ericjhberg

Question

It would be incredible if Hardscapes and Landscape Areas could be managed by Styles, similar to walls, roofs, slabs, titleblocks, etc.

 

With this functionality, these would be saved as resources similar to Wall Styles, Roof Styles, Slab Styles, etc. and then could be edited in one location to make changes throughout the document.

 

Currently the functionality of Save Hardscape... or Save Landscape Area... does create a resource manager resource, but that has no effect/connection to the instances located in the drawing. Furthermore, it really can't even be edited in the resource manager.

 

Right now, the only way to enact large changes to multiple similar hardscapes is to make the changes to one and then use the match properties to apply it to all others. There are several reasons why this isn't ideal,

  1. Very Slow - Matching properties to hundreds of hardscapes or landscape areas can take forever to complete
  2. Inaccurate - The match properties workflow is a manual selection workflow and is only as precise as the users selection abilities/criteria

 

It's time to rethink the way the Landmark tools fit within the greater movements of VW tools, I feel like they are out in their own little world and really should be brought into the fold.
