Andy Kovach Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 VW10.5.1 Mac OS10.2.8 A door symbol made from a plugin cuts the wall at the trim instead of at the jamb. This leaves a void when viewed in top plan view. A door plugin does not do this. However, if I drag a door plugin out of a wall, the wall heals but wall is displayed in the plugin between the jamb and edge of trim. If I make a symbol out of the plugin that has been draged out of a wall it insets properly. Is this just a qwerk in VW or an indication of corruption in the program. I just replicated this behavior in a new file. Thanks Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted May 28, 2004 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 28, 2004 It is neither a quirk nor corruption. The door plug-in is programmatically "intelligent", i.e., it can determine characteristics of the wall in which it is inserted, and it can do this each time it is regenerated (refreshed). Once it has been made into a symbol, it is "frozen" and will no longer refresh. If you want to use symbols in walls that are sensitive to the wall characteristics, you will have to make a symbol for each kind of opening/wall combination you have. Quote Link to comment
