Walls from Polyline


Recommended Posts

The Objects from Polyline command seems to create walls for every selected polyline in the document, whether in a current or even visible layer or not. That's not expected behavior. I created a bunch of polylines, then moved all but one to a different, hidden layer. VW keeps them all selected, and then Objects from Polyline created walls for all of them in the current layer.

Also, creating curved walls from polys is still a nightmare. The polyline tool lets you create all kinds of nice bezier curves, but the wall tool limits that to simple curves, and the Object from Polyline tool can make a complete mess of the wall--one small s-curve became 58 walls! That's unusable. Even the retaining wall tool lets me create walls that the curved wall tool can't seem to match. Arg.

This problem had been fixed in 10.1.2.

Objects from Polyline command generates VectorWorks walls.(Curved and Staight) In order to represent a bezier curve the polyline is converted to simple straight and arc segments.
