I have been a bit busy but here is a quick description.
1. Create the selected profile in a front elevation view.
2. Extrude it half the total length you need. (in elevation)
3. Go to the left or right elevation and create the 'negative' end…

Is this the sort of thing you are after? I have no idea what measurements you are working to but the basic concept might work or you

I think it's a file problem. I have copied and pasted a couple of layers into a new file and everything seems OK. This is often a good work around if the thing refuses to co-operate. Do not simply make a copy of the original file, but copy th…
Derek
Can you attach the original file?

Your walls are not 'taking' because when you select them you will see the 'None' fill option is enabled in the Attributes Palette.
Select the wall/s and then change the fill option in the Attributes palette to 'Solid'
The jury are coming out…
I'm not in the UK at the moment so can't open the file but will reply soon..jury is still out on the latter.

As an addendum to my previous. You could always apply a hatch to a rectangle, choose the 'None' option for the line and then export the hatch as an image using the Marquee option. Bring the resultant image in as a new texture via the resource b…
1. Yes
2. Viewports will always update automatically and if the elevations are 2D then all hatches and patterns will update. If you are generating elevations from a 3D model then a texture solution has to be found (as Bob has pointed out)
3. Nick
Hatches and patterns only work on 2D objects. A possible work around would be to convert the viewport to lines (Modify>Convert>Convert To Lines) and then compose selected lines to create polygons which you can then apply hatches to (you may have to…
Sky
How are you generating the elevations? Is it from a 3D model or are they straightforward 2D drawings?

I think Bob has answered the question. Go to the 'Wall Insertion Mode' (4th from the left in VW2010) and select. This will allow you to move/remove the door/window

1. Select the wall
2. Go to the Render tab in OI
3. In Part choose 'Left (Class Texture)'
4. Then choose 'Revert To Overall'
5. Then go back and choose 'Right (Class Texture) and then 'Revert To Overall' again.
It's convoluted and don't ask me why.…

Hi there,
I know this discussion happened way back in April, but I'm fairly new and I've only just come across your question. I know you don't like external keyboards, but you did say you liked the iPhone idea. So I thought this might appeal to you…
Makes me happy - I've been using C4D since r 7 and the rendering engine has been the very best.
Hi all, nice to meet you all.
