First Garden Design Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I have to up date a paving slope and need to find out the different heights along a sloping pathway. I must have missed the tool that I can simply click within the slope and it will tell me the precise height at that point. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I believe the Stake object can report the heights of surfaces. You should be able to place them in Top/Plan view and then Send to Surface. Hopefully someone with more direct experience will help us both out. Quote Link to comment
First Garden Design Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 Hi Pat. Good of you to reply. The pathway slope is on Hardscape with a slope of 1:60 over a length of 6151mm. I need to check the specific height at 2000mm in order for me to make sure my design matches. I have tried the Stake and positioned it on the slope but it doesn't provide anything.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tamsin Slatter Posted October 5, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 5, 2020 A Stake will only report elevations of the Site Model in Top/Plan view. If you don't have a site model, you can still use the Stake. Just go to a 3D view and click on the corner of the hardscape that interests you, then return to TOp/Plan. The stake will show the elevation. 2 Quote Link to comment
First Garden Design Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 Hi All. I have re-entered the DXF file and the survey data and its has sorted it out. Set the stake within the model and by sending it to surface it shows the relevant height. All Good. Thanks for your input. Ken Kirtland-1.3.vwx 1 Quote Link to comment
