How to eliminate complications created by Component Edit
We use 1000’s of existing Hybrid Symbols
Past VW Edit Hybrid Symbol - while in the edit 2D component, newly created 3D geometry would remain visible. The intent is to add to, reposition, or modify 3D geometry based on the 2D geometry of the existing Hybrid Symbol
With Component Edit, added 3D (Extrude from a 2D shape for example …) while in the edit 2D component, disappear. The Show Other defaults to None in the Component Edit dialog.
Change the Show Other to 3D, reveals the 3D, though it appears this 3D is not selectable (?)
Change Edit to 3D, reveals the 3D, they are now selectable, yet the 2D disappears (?)
Select Edit Component Location shows the 2D & 3D Geometry in the Hybrid Symbol, though they cannot be selected, reshaped, moved (?) …is this correct ?
This is not like the 2D/3D Hybrid Edit workflow in past VW
What would help:
¿ Eliminate an added step in the workflow, if the Component Edit / Show Detail could be set to ALL by default ? ¿ Create a preference to allow this ?
The work around is to convert the 2D/3D Hybrid to a group, edit as needed them remake a 2D/3D Hybrid Symbol replacing the existing one. This requires a two step process to capture the 2D & 3D parts of the Hybrid
This is reminiscent of the myriad of problems created in our work flow when Layer Plane / Screen Plane first appeared. That was at least (somewhat) mitigated with a default Options settings.
