Tanya J. Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I have a large base plan (most work done here), that I need to layer link showing only portions of it, i.e.; divided in quarters. I tried doing polygone hiding, but it doesn't hide the layer link. Any suggestions? VW9.5, W2000 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted December 5, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 5, 2003 What happened when you tried obscuring the LL with a polygon? Quote Link to comment
Tanya J. Posted December 5, 2003 Author Share Posted December 5, 2003 Ok, looks like the polygon is working. I have a large base "demo" plan, that is linked up to a large base "const" plan. I was then going to link those to 4 sectioned plans. If I hide on the "demo" and went up two links it didn't hide, but hiding on the "const" and going up one link it works. My next question is how does the poly lines not plot out, since making them invisible destroys the effect? Quote Link to comment
Tanya J. Posted December 5, 2003 Author Share Posted December 5, 2003 I got the poly's to work on the linked sections, but they now cover the border-titleblock, and I can't seem to 'send back' or do an 'overlay'. Is there away around this. Or is seperating the large base plan into different section classes to only way? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted December 6, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 6, 2003 Look at your layer order. Your titleblock layer should be drawn topmost (last in the order). Quote Link to comment
Tanya J. Posted December 8, 2003 Author Share Posted December 8, 2003 Thanks, that was pretty easy!! My next problem (hopefuly last) is that I have the "sectioned" drawings with 2 links up. When I try to rotate or move this it only moves one link down. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted December 8, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 8, 2003 Make sure your layer links are unlocked. They are created locked and you have to manually unlock them. Quote Link to comment
Tanya J. Posted December 8, 2003 Author Share Posted December 8, 2003 Ahh, looks like things are coming together. Does version 10 have things in it, that makes working on large remodeling projects easier to handle? We were going to put off upgrading, but we have two large projects coming up that I'm going to set up in a similar way to above. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted December 8, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 8, 2003 There are a couple of plug-ins that may be useful: the Massing Model object and the Model View Tool. The latter handles groupings of layer links (and it unlocks them, thanks very much). Quote Link to comment
Tanya J. Posted December 8, 2003 Author Share Posted December 8, 2003 I got the "sectioned" plans separated & positioned, the border is the top layer, but as you zoom in to the plan (which is 2 links & unlocked) it disappears, zooming out you can once again see it. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted December 8, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 8, 2003 How close (what percent) do you have to be zoomed in to see this? Also, what version are you using? Quote Link to comment
Tanya J. Posted December 8, 2003 Author Share Posted December 8, 2003 We have version9.5. If you see the full sheet on the monitor, then do ctrl-1 once, it disappears. Quote Link to comment
