dbrumbach Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hello everyone, I have noticed a couple of strange things while using VWX2020 on Windows. 1. When in Top/Plan view - I click & drag to move Pipe & Drape object, or group of them, the Z axis changes for the drape? I have never experienced this before. 2. When in Top/Plan view - I move a truss on one layer, and it then moves a pipe & drape section on a different layer? I have never experienced this before either? Any input on how to NOT associate items to a truss, and to not changing Z axis while moving along the X Y planes would be greatly appreciated...

Mike Wright Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 if your pipe and drape is directly below a truss it is probably adding it to the truss as a load and therefore giving it thew same Z value. The same happens if you move lighting fixtures that are perhaps part of a floor package under a truss and all of a sudden they are flown! I believe if you hold 'ALT' whilst you drag it will not attach to the truss (not 100% on this, it works for rigging objects like hoists) A work around is to hide your truss layer when you move the p&d or perhaps use the clip cube Quote Link to comment
Guest Beckstorm Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 You can also put all your rigging on a different layer and set it to "Gray" Quote Link to comment
dbrumbach Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 Thanks Gents, Makes sense, although it would be nice to have the ability to turn rigging associations on/off as needed. Thanks again for the input... Quote Link to comment
