Wall Intersection not wrapping neatly

Hi!

I have a house design where we have raking walls, I drew the walls at 2400 and then used the Wall Extend command to bring them up to meet the underside of the roof. This is the result, which shows some weirdness around the junction.

I tried fiddling with the wrapping options with no success. I also tried adjusting the slight height difference you can see, no success. Finally I tried moving the control points back from each other so the walls were extending to join…no success there either, so I hoping someone can help me out with this one?

Thanks!

Door and window alignment in grasshopper style

Hello All,

I have a door script I made and am having trouble figuring out what the alignment variable is for the door or where to derive it from. (exterior, center, interior). I thought it was the ‘profile’ crv and where its positioned but that is not the case.

What controls the styles alignment in a visualarq style?

Removing wall annotations

Hello,

Thanks for this great tool.
I have a question: I generated brick blocks using “wall from solid”, exported them as IFC 2*3, and open them in Revit. But each of them has an annotation line that can not be removed as you can see.

How can I remove the lines and keep only the bricks?

Lots of repeated Materials in Styles Dialogue

I seem to have a weird issue…its not really causing a problem, but it is frustrating.

I have some materials in my model and in the materials panel they show up once…no duplicates.

In the Styles> Materials drop down though, it shows up multiple times…is there a way to clean this up?


I have another model where the duplicates run to 8 or 9 copies listed.

Thanks in advance!

VisualArq Slow / Stalled on Plans creation

I am having important issues outputting basic plan views from my VisualArq model.

I have on the other hand been able to create sections and elevation views without problems but still no plans…

When creating plan views, once an input point is selected, the software keeps on calculating… without resulting drawing and without end… “creating graph… resolving curve endpoint…”

I left it computing for an hour… no result.
I rebooted the machine, tried again… no result.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,
We have drawn two buildings in separated file and insert them in the side plan as a linked block. This works fine, and we can work separately on every drawing. When we try to generate plan or section view in the side plan, the tow buildings aren’t drew.
Best regards, Simon

Hatch scales

Hi all,

I have read several topics about this subject, but am not sure I found a good answer (or I hope there is a better one).

I just installed VisArq 2, after trying the previous version a while back. I concluded at that point that de software was not developed enough to become a big part of our office. I am giving it another shot now.

I just imported the IFC model of the engineer, which looks nice in Rhino. I have been able to give the different objects a hatch, for plans and sections.

If I understood correctly, you advice against using live plans. So I am guessing I put a plan block, in modelspace, that I update when I want to make plots, right?

I was hoping to create several layouts (8 A1’s for the plan, 6 for sections and elevations) in the Rhino layouts.

However, if I add a detail to one of these, the hatch scales get messed up. So modelspace looks fine. The block looks fine, but on the layout, the hatches are scaled with a factor 50, making them invisible. Of course I don’t want a 1:1 print, but a 1:50. How do I do this? Some prints we are making are 1:100, some 1:200 and some 1:500. I don’t understand how I can get the hatches to adapt to this, and I don’t want to change settings, whenever I am printing in some scale.

It seems to me that this is one of the most basic operations, of making a 3D model and being able to communicatie this properly on a drawing. So I hope I overlooked something!

Any thoughts?

Hi!

I am having a wierd issue with trying to unextend a wall. Following from another topic I had where doing raked walls created an odd junction, I took the advice of creating the walls at their maximum height then unextending them…or trying to.

See videos…am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Weird Wall Intersection problem

@jackson.digney wrote:

Hey!

I have a really odd problem trying to get some walls to intersect nicely on a split level house with a raked wall coming in and meeting with two different wall styles.

I tried adding solids command to just “make” it look right, but the lines ofthe edges of the original walls remained visible.

What’s the best way to handle it?

Please improve stairs

Hi everyone,

this is a message for the visualarq devs. I am using the plugin in every project i’v been working for about 4 - 5 years now and I like it very much. But in all those years stairs are just too poorly elaborate in comparison with the plugin overall. Always being hard to define the middle landings, or make the stair based on a curve somehow, the railings should be more compatible with the stairs aswel. If it was something simillar to archicad (for exemple) stair method, with more specifications towards it, I really think it would provide a much better user experience.

Please consider about it and thanks in advance.

Create VisualArq Wall from Python Script

I have been playing with Visual Arq and looking into possibilities creating objects through scripting.
I ran into this post and was able to run a similar script to create spheres.

I am stuck trying to create walls, I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
I got this far but I don’t have a lot of experience with RhinoCommon, so I am not sure if I am doing something wrong, missing a step, or if there is an issue with the public API since it’s WIP.

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import Rhino as rc
from Rhino import Geometry as geo

import clr
clr.AddReference('VisualARQ.Script')
import scriptcontext as sc
import VisualARQ.Script as va

doc = sc.doc
unit_scale = rc.RhinoMath.UnitScale(rc.UnitSystem.Meters, doc.ModelUnitSystem);
wall_style_id = va.GetGenericElementStyleId('Default')
wall = va.AddWall(wall_style_id , geo.Point3d.Origin, geo.Point3d(10,0,0))
print(wall)  # output: '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'
  1. Expected wall guid to non zero.
  2. If I had a valid guid, how would I convert a VA objects added to Document? rs.coercebrep?

Thanks!

Setting Layer Properties for VaPlanView in Viewport Layer Settings has no effect

It seems that VaViews respond only to global Layer properties settings

If this is so, it’s unfortunate. It denies a major feature behind having layer properties and multiple viewports of the same View.

Polysurfaces Occlude Curves in VaPlanViews

@djhg wrote:

This happens in all display modes I’ve tried:

  1. Polysurfaces Occlude Curves in VaPlanViews The display mode below for the VaPlanView (on the left) is Wireframe, so it should be more transparent than ever.

Also 2) The lines above the platform (selected) aren’t rendered in the VaPLanView. It turns out, on exploration, that the VaPlanView won’t show lines above a Levels’ Cut Plane, even if it isn’t active in the view.

I don’t see the advantage to either of these behaviours.

I’ve made a block out of an entrance assembly including a wall, a curtain wall, and a door. It appears that the objects become polysurfaces conforming to their configuration at the time of creating a block and are no longer Va Objects. Is there any way around this?
