Ed Wachter Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I'm new to aligned hardscape objects. I'm currently having two problems: Whenever I enter the Edit Surface Modifiers mode the hardscape outline disappears. This may be not be a hardscape problem as I often have objects disappear in other editing spaces e.g. inside groups. Also, I can only get the borders of the objects to render. The rest of the object appears only in wireframe. I have a Main Texture selected but it only appears on the border. Please help if you can. Thanks Ed Quote Link to comment
Ed Wachter Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 As I posted in the General forum, as a work-around I'm using 3D polygons, outside the hardscape object, to shape the surface. If I learn more about the disappearing hardscape outline I'll post about it here. Ed Quote Link to comment
Andy_M Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Hi Ed, I'm having the same issue with the hardscape and everything else disappearing when I click edit surface modifiers... Quote Link to comment
Andy_M Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Hi Ed, a Vectorworks Specialist in the UK has very kindly provided the fix. In the top right of the screen is a dropdown triangle/list of icons, about two thirds down this list is Show Other Objects While In Edit Mode, check this. A new icon displays that allows you to show other objects during edit mode Many thanks Andrew Quote Link to comment
Ed Wachter Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 Andy, Thanks for the comments. I am aware of the Show Other Objects in Editing Modes setting; I use it all the time. I wasn't having problems with the "other" objects. It was the outline of the object itself that was disappearing. My co-workers and I also have some objects disappear while editing groups (objects with the group) so it may not specifically be a problem with the hardscapes. Perhaps it's related to our computers all being about 6 years old. I'll post again if I learn more but I am not currently working on a project that uses hardscapes. Thanks Ed Quote Link to comment
Gran Mathias Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Adding to this: Could also be that the Graphic Attributes is controlled by Class and that "Pen style" is set to none. This was the solution here. Quote Link to comment
Ed Wachter Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Thanks. The next time I use Aligned Hardscapes I will keep all of these suggestions in mind. Ed Quote Link to comment
