CraigC Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I'm doing my first VW project using the architectural template. Why do floor slabs obscure the doors and their swings in plan? Both were created on 1-Floor Layout. If I delete the floors, then I can see the doors. Thx. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted April 23, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 23, 2019 This is a drawing order issue. Select the slabs and Send to Back. 1 Quote Link to comment
CraigC Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 Thanks Robert. Interesting… so this 2-D view is not necessarily showing me the 2-D representation of three dimensional objects!? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted April 23, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 23, 2019 Top/Plan view is a drafted view of the 3D objects. It allows you to have some graphical control. You can create viewports in Top/Plan (drafted view) or Horizontal Section (strict spatial view.) 1 Quote Link to comment
Hans-Olav Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 @CraigC We usually have slabs on a separate layer below the floorplan ( in stacking order ) 1 Quote Link to comment
CraigC Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) So if the 1-slab layer is turned on, how come I can't see the slabs in the 1-Floor Layout view? And if the walls now reside on a different layer, you have to draw poly lines to create a slab? Edited April 23, 2019 by CraigC Quote Link to comment
Guest SMannVW Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Have a look at your Design Layer Option drop-down menu in the Navigation Palette. It might be set to Active Only, Gray Others, or Gray/Snap Others. Quote Link to comment
