aaurora Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Hi All! I'm new to ConnectCAD and I'm sure there is a simple answer to this, but how do I do a rack elevation for the front and rear of a rack, and have it display as one rack in the 3D Layout? Thanks. - Anup Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Conrad Preen Posted August 2, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 2, 2021 Hi @aaurora Drag and drop the equipment you want into the 2D rack on your rack elevation design layer. Set the Mounting parameter for each one to front or back accordingly. Use the command Front - Rear Rack View ... to control what is visible while designing. Present your layouts using viewports on sheet layers in the normal Vectorworks way (check the online help for this). In the viewport you can show/hide classes Sys-Equip-Front and Sys-Equip-Rear to display what you want. The 3D rack will show it all on 3D> Conrad Quote Link to comment
AlistairM Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Hi @Conrad Preen I'm sure I used to use this command without trouble, but now I can't find it. I am looking under ConnectCAD > Layout, but all I see is Create Equipment... Is there some special condition (e.g. rack selected, which I have tried) needed to make this command available?

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nikolay Zhelyazkov Posted February 23, 2023 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 23, 2023 Hello @AlistairM, If you are asking about Front - Rear Rack View ... we have moved this to legacy, because now we have much clearer class structure and it should be easier and faster to just show and hide the classes directly from the navigation palette. The classes that you need to modify are CC-Equipment-Front and CC-Equipment-Rear. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov 2 Quote Link to comment
