jnr Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Anyone ever seen this? If so, how to get rid of the red lines? thx -J Quote Link to comment
HEengineering Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Could this be due to the quality setting within your rendering mode? Curved geometry should be set to high Im thinking? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tony Kostreski Posted November 19, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 19, 2018 Hi J, Objects like the roadway, hardscape, and massing model offer the ability to modify the site. The red lines are site modifiers for that object. Simply turn off the class "Site-DTM-Modifier" when you don't want to see them. Hope this helps! -Tony 1 Quote Link to comment
jnr Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 Tony: Thanks. That did it. The DTM is referenced and I had to turn off the Modifier class. But I only know enough about DTM and site modeling to be dangerous. The whole roadway tool set I find cumbersome and I spend way too much time screwing around with it. I wish it were more intuitive. Fortunately this is schematic and will get back to modifying the site down the road. The send to surface tool, while convienent, lacks flexibility and could be improved. Maybe I'm going about it wrong but would be nice if I could send a roadway to the surface and have it form to the DTM, where I could then tweak it , rather than it show up as a flat plane that the stations then have to be manipulated.

HEengineering Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 DTM class, that was my next guess. I happen to be working with a DTM all last week and had the same issue. The best way I found was to cycle thru by station and adjust height as needed. Not the fastest process but it does work. I often spend a lot of time using the road tools as well. Hoping this feature gets some love soon. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tony Kostreski Posted November 19, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 19, 2018 Glad to hear. I agree that the roadway tool palette is currently limited and deserves some love – please suggest this on our wishlist channel 😉 In the meantime, have you tried using Roadway (NURBS) using the following process discussed on Vectorworks 2019 Help? I've found better success when sending this Roadway type to the surface and redistributing the stations as needed. 2 Quote Link to comment
