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 3D view.
