some vw12 issues

[tamarindi]

I have some questions from different areas:

1. Door tool: When you add a bars, either on the door itself or on the side lihgts - how do you control the exact position of the bar? (it was possible in previous version..)

And also - can you add a bar to the toplight and control its position?

2. Wall tool - when you create a new wall style and you use a pattern the color fills are black and white only. Is there a way to control the colors?

3. Worksheets: Is there a simple one-stop summation for column or row, same as in Excel?

1) When you add "muntins" to doors (or windows), you can choose to have them be "colonial" (evenly spaced) and then choose the number of horizontal & vertical instances, or you can choose "prairie" which will place 2 horizontal and 2 vertical, in a predetermined "prairie" pattern. You cannot control the exact position of the muntins. You can create your own muntins either using the "mullion" tool or from simple extrudes. When you create your own you can place them wherever you want.

2) Click on the wall tool. Click on the PREF'S (the last selection in the mode bar). Click on EDIT. Set the FILL STYLE to PATTERN and then you can change the color by clicking on the FORE & BACK COLOR pulldowns.

3) I have no idea. I bet someone else will.

Regarding (3) above, there is a simple summation. Select the database range you wish to summarize, and the three little icons at the top of the worksheet will become enabled. Drag the "SUM" icon to the header tab of the column you want to summarize. This is in online help in the topic, "Worksheet commands".
