Editing Object Surfaces

Editing 2D Object Surfaces

There are four commands for editing 2D and 2D/3D hybrid object surfaces: Intersect Surface, Add Surface, Combine into Surface, and Clip Surface. The Intersect, Add, and Clip commands have an equivalent context menu command accessed by a Ctrl-click (Mac) or right-click (Windows). Use these commands with the following objects.

Vectorworks Fundamentals Objects

●     2D primitive objects that can be filled and are not grouped (arcs, polygons, polylines, ovals, circles, rectangles, rounded rectangles)

●     Revision clouds

●     Floors

●     Roof faces

●     Pillars

Vectorworks Design Series Objects

●     Ceiling grids

●     Plants

●     Massing models

●     Stipples

●     Property lines

●     Redlines

●     Site modifiers

●     Seating layouts

●     Spaces

●     Hardscapes

●     Parking Areas

●     Stages

●     Slabs

 

These commands work in any view, as long as the objects involved are in the same plane. If a combination of 2D and 2D/3D hybrid objects (such as floors or pillars) will be used in an operation, the view must be set to Top/Plan. In Top/Plan view, screen plane and layer plane are considered to be co-planar.

The equivalent 3D commands operate on solids and can be used in a view other than Top/Plan.
