Don@Black Dog Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Newbie question: how do I change the door swing direction once the object is inserted? When I try by right click/flip it flips the whole wall. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Simply SELECT the door, then click "FLIP" in the Object Info Palette (OIP). HTH's Quote Link to comment
Don@Black Dog Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 oh, duh! Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Don@Black Dog Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 Another: as I make door symbols (or whatever) how can I add a sub-folder to the main catagory, i.e., add "Multi-panel doors" to 08_Doors_Hinged... Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Um, I think you can select the 3d objects while in a 3d view, and the 2d objects while in top/plan. I must admit I have not created a hybrid symbol for about two versions, so I'm not sure I'm really up to speed... EJ, are you there? Perhaps you could help... Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 You're using Mac OS, right? I think you can just go into the VW's folder and then create another folder. One note of caution: if you modify the original folder structure you might have problems with subsequent updates, etc. What I do instead is to create a discreet folder to contain my custom made items. So for example, I have created a bunch of SIMPSON connectors in a VW file. I have then placed that file in a new folder called SIMPSON, and placed the folder into the VW's folder called EXTRAS (in the LIBRARIES folder). Now I can "add to favorites" my SIMPSON stuff, AND, when I upgrade I can drag-copy the folder over to the new application folder without changing anything else. I hope that makes sense...

Don@Black Dog Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 Very much so. thanks. Using windows. Good idea on the separate folders. Quote Link to comment
Don@Black Dog Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 Peter, while I have your (much appreciated) attention, I am trying to learn how to make door (and window)symbols. It says to select the 2d and 3d objects, but how? Quote Link to comment
