Rodger Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I Have Created A Site Model In A Drawing And Erased It From The Drawing And The Resources Directory. When I Create A New Model, The Old Site Model Is Still Created. How Do I Get Rid Of The Old Model And Create The New One? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted August 21, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 21, 2003 What version of VW are you using? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted August 21, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 21, 2003 I assume you're using VW Architect, since VW 9.x does not include the Site Model command. In any case, is your issue that you want to hide the "existing" site model? Quote Link to comment
Rodger Posted August 25, 2003 Author Share Posted August 25, 2003 I have created a site model using the grid entry tool. When I create an updated version of the model, the old version is always referenced when changes in the settings/options menu are made. I have deleted the "Existing" and "Proposed" DTM's from the resources palette but the old DTM is created when I update the model. Also, is it possible to have and object line visible in a hidden line rendering at the points where the structure intersects the terrain? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted August 25, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 25, 2003 What do you mean by "old version"? Do you mean "existing"? or do you mean that the site model is not updating according to new data or modifiers? Quote Link to comment
Rodger Posted August 25, 2003 Author Share Posted August 25, 2003 thanks, I am just getting familiar w/ the site model tools. [ 08-25-2003, 04:08 PM: Message edited by: Rodger ] Quote Link to comment

P Retondo Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Rodger, if you are saying that you want to start all over again, I have had difficulty with this, as well. I assume that when you say "deleted the existing site model" you mean that you have used the "delete" command in the sitework menu - or maybe you mean that you have deleted the symbol that was created for that model. In either case, VW still has remnants of that original model - a class instance of some kind still exists, maybe - and you will have trouble starting from scratch. The "proposed" site model is created to allow the program to calculate cut and fill comparisons with the "existing" model. I think the "delete" command does not do the job it should, and that a programmer should look into making sure that all vestiges of a terrain model are wiped out so that we can start over again. Or better yet, allow more than one or two terrain models to be created, under different names. The workaround is to copy your layers, except for anything having to do with DTM, into a new file. That file will then contain no reference to a DTM, and you can start fresh. On the other hand, if you say that you are having trouble creating the "proposed" model by making modifications to the "existing," then I suggest that you carefully follow the manual's instructions. It's a little non-intuitive, but it will work. [ 08-25-2003, 12:48 PM: Message edited by: P Retondo ] Quote Link to comment
