Section Viewport of A Referenced DLVP?

[Dan Scully]

Hi-

 

Is it possible to create a section viewport from a referenced file design layer viewport?  I can create a design layer viewport that is from a referenced file, but when I try to then create a section viewport from it, I get a red square with a x in it.  Before I keep hitting my head against this problem, I thought I would check to see if what I'm doing is even possible :)

 

Any tips or pointers appreciated.

What is it you are referencing from the source file? Geometry or a PDF? If it's a PDF ensure you're using the latest version and service pack of Vectorworks. Even if a PDF is outside the Viewport but still on the Design Layer being referenced, it could still have an effect. 

 

If it is only geometry that's being referenced, see if you can recreate this problem using two new, blank files. File > New… > Create blank document
