Cara Pedley Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Walls created using the wall tool seem to disappear when put in the 3D view. I have checked the class texture and made sure the texture was applied to the walls. When I create a wall using the wall tool in a new file, it seems to work fine. Is there an issue with my file? I am using the student version of Vectorworks. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Are you using a styled wall? If so, are the wall components in different classes than the wall itself? And are those classes set to visible? Walls (along with symbols, groups, plug-in objects, etc.) are "container" objects. That means they can contain other objects that might be in different classes. In order to be visible EVERY container class as well as the class of the contained object must be set to visible. If any of them are not visible, the object will not be seen. Quote Link to comment
Cara Pedley Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 I'm not using a styled wall but I just double checked the wall with all my classes and a layers turned on and it still doesn't work. Do you have any other ideas? Quote Link to comment
Cara Pedley Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 @Pat Stanford I've added a vectorworks file with some of my drawing in it. Are you able to look it and check my settings to see what is wrong with it? I have been struggling with it all day. I have put the walls on class 3D-Buildings-Walls. The outlines of the dwelling I want to put into 3D using the wall tool is on class 2D-Buildings-DwellingOutlines. Thank you! Wall Test File.vwx Quote Link to comment
Hans-Olav Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Hi Cara It seems like your drawing are located far from the internal origin Try this: Center drawing on internal origin Quote Link to comment
Cara Pedley Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 @Hans-Olav I'm just trying out the locate to internal origin. Just as I was selecting all of my drawing and I have noticed that I have this line going very far away from my drawing - do you know what it is? Not sure if it is connected to my trees I have created using the tree tool? Quote Link to comment
Hans-Olav Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 You could try to delete the line far from the internal origin and then choose again the comment I mentioned in the above post. Hope it helps Quote Link to comment
Cara Pedley Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Sorry for the delayed reply. Relocating the internal origin fixed the problem! Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment
