hollister design Studio Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Is there a "turn of image props" setting? All my 3D image prop plants disappeared (except for a 3D locus point). They've also lost there association with the site model. I can 'send to surface' and they arrange themselves as if they where at the surface... but all of them are below the site model by 190'. What I've Tried: I turned all layers and all classes to visible - but the plants are still not visible. I can select them - and have tried putting them on different layers or classes. Still only the locus point I switched to wireframe and back to open GL Top/plan they show properly. I've copied a plant model from a backup - it is visible in the back up but it pastes invisible exceptpt for the locis point. If I copy an invisible plant an paste into a older backup of the file it's fine. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment
Jeff Prince Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) @hollister design Studio Check the elevation of the design layer you have placed the plants on. If the plant's design layer has a different elevation value than the site model's design layer, you will have "send to surface" drama. Edited January 1, 2021 by jeff prince Quote Link to comment
hollister design Studio Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 @jeff prince It is. Plant layer is 119' - which is the elevation of my zero point for the project (granted it is arbitrary - I've set it at BW for an existing retaining wall). Site layer is 0' so my contour lines represent reality. Do you recommend I generally set Planting layer to zero? Quote Link to comment
Jeff Prince Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 @hollister design Studio I put my plant design layers at the same elevation as my site design layer and do not have your problem. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee bgoff Posted January 19, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 19, 2021 zoom back as they are probably above or below your model. Select the plant props and change the z value to 1" then back to Zero. This trick wakes up the plants and sends them back to surface. 2 Quote Link to comment
