Rossford Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I have a situation where I need to replace an existing site model crop with a smaller one inside and meld the two models. This is because I need a contour interval of 0.1' one the smaller model, and only 1' on the larger model. So, I want to copy, then crop out the smaller site model, and then place it right back on top of the other one so both display as I want. The manuals say I can go to the Edit Crop mode, delete the polyline that is the current site border and replace it. For whatever reason, I cannot pick on the second polyline in crop edit mode and pull it in. I have seen it done, and think I am either missing something obvious, or maybe a bug but if someone knows what I am missing (if that is the case) I would appreciate the help. Quote Link to comment

bcd Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Are you trying to have 2 site models - where one is surrounded by the other? If so, yes, the outer Site Model needs to have a hole, but only one Crop Polyline. Here's how: Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee bgoff Posted June 15, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 15, 2021 In the case that @Rossford is refering to a hole like you are suggesting will work also but in this case it is faster to duplicate and crop the second model and lay over the top. But yes this is also a great solution. Quote Link to comment
Rossford Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 bcd, Thanks, and I have done that in the past, but Bryan's method works as well. It seems my problem was closing VW and reopening it, and then everything seems to work as expected. Quote Link to comment
