Carol Reznor Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Hi Last few months the 3D Display option Cut and Fill of the Site Model is acting erratic. Instead of the usual 3D model it shows a flat surface. OR am I becoming erratic? Or is there something else going on? Thanks! Carol Issue DTM.vwx Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Eric Gilbey, PLA Posted March 26, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 26, 2021 Hi Carol. The behavior you are seeing is typical of the 3D display for cut/fill. Instead of displaying the cut/fill coloration on the proposed surface, it actually flattens the shape of the site model, but creates a depression or mound where the cut or fill is calculated, respectively. So, the more cut in an area, the deeper the depression, and the more fill in an area, the higher the mound. I too wish the site model display of cut/fill were displayed with the actual proposed site model surface, so your note reminds me to make the enhancement request to do so. Thank you for bringing this up. Best regards, Eric Quote Link to comment
Carol Reznor Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Thanks Eric! The reason I was wondering is because this behaviour is not what I thought I was used to seeing... Apparently it's either my mind or my eyes playing tricks on me... or wishful thinking taking over Quote Link to comment
