Good evening everyone, I’ve been using VisualARQ since version 2, and not long ago I purchased the upgrade to version 3 (v 3.3.1). I converted a project started with the earlier version, and I’m encountering several issues. The first one concerns positioning two roofs with identical slopes side by side, which I cannot join because I need them to have two different styles. When I bring them closer together, one of the slopes loses its alignment. I also have problems with the wall entities that sometimes, after extending them toward the roof, create enormous volumes. Can you help me?
Hi @nico155bb can you share that file so we can better understand what’s going wrong, try to find a solution and fix any possible bugs?
Yes, thank you

Here’s the file: when opened, the wall deformation doesn’t seem to be present, but if you move the roof out of the plan and then bring it back, it reappears. Another issue I have is that the ramp disappears when placed next to the building.
Hi @nico155bb I could reproduce the error with the roof join. It looks like one of the roof is flipped. You can fix it if you set the alignment of the short one to “Bottom”
In any case, we will investigate why this happened.
I cannot reproduce the other error of the extended wall though. I’m moving the roof of your screenshot aside, the walls unextend, then I move the roof back, and walls extend normally.
Just in case, try to install the 3.4 RC3 version (which is the same one I’m using): VisualARQ 3 - Version 3.4 RC3 released

Actually, in the RC4 version, the issue with that wall is gone, and there’s a difference with the roof. By moving it out and then back onto the plan, the two slopes align—even if, as you noted, their alignment is reversed. For the moment, I’ll keep it that way! It also appears that the ramp error is gone. I’ll tidy up the file and update you. Thanks!

Good evening, I’ve noticed another issue. Some floor slab entities inside the building are being cut and significantly reduced, but if I move them outside, they correctly cover the surface. What could be causing this?
Inside
Outside
Another less important point: when we inserted the styles into the table, the text got stuck to the edge of the frame. What would you suggest I do?
6 posts were split to a new topic: Walls disappeared after the conversion
This looks like the intersection of the slabs with some walls that are not visible in that screenshot. If you unhide everything, the wall should appear there.
Is this happening also from the Top viewport?
You can change the alignment settings of that table style from the table styles dialog > attributes > Annotation > Text Alignment:
Which conversion do you mean? can you share that file so we can take a look?
Thanks!

Good morning, thank you. I’ll try changing the table parameter now. Yes, I turned off the walls to get a better view of the slabs, but I still don’t understand what’s causing them to disappear.
What do you mean they disappear? what steps do you follow before the walls disappear? it will help if you share a sample model to test.
I intentionally hid the walls to observe how the slabs behave when interacting with them. The problem is that when I insert the slab into the building, these slabs interact and get partially hidden—I don’t understand why.
@nico155bb I may require a sample model to better understand what you mean and figure out what’s happening.
I’ve attached the file. Now you’ll find the base slabs outside the building. Try moving them inside the building (shift by 30).
I’ve also noticed another issue with the wall of the smaller building.
Hi @nico155bb I am not able to appreciate anything wrong in the model after I move the slabs back to their position.
Perhaps you can help me see what’s wrong.
I can see this error. I’ll report to the development team and get back to you when it’s fixed.
This is the sequence. I select the slab, move it inside the building. I isolate it to see how it turned out once inserted.
If you notice, even in the photo you uploaded, the floors of ‘spogliatoio B’, ‘Spogliatoio arbitri U’, and ‘Anti-WC P.S.’ exhibit these issues, and if you analyze them closely, even the underlying layers display the same problems.
This sample sequence focuses solely on floors, making it clearer. I’ve hidden the lower layers within the building to show you how the floors behave once they’re inserted.
Hi @nico155bb I could reproduce the error now with that slab. Thanks! I’ll report it to the development team. I’ll keep you posted with any news about a fix for this problem.
Hi Francesc, I’ve noticed that the issue isn’t solely due to a converted file; I also encounter it in a file created with Rhino 8 and VA3. Check out this example: when the floor slab intersects the walls, conflicts arise that seem similar to those in the other model.
TEST_VA3 003.3dm (16.2 MB)
I understand. The floor slabs that were drawn covering the masonry niche near the doors aren’t working. I’ll illustrate with some screenshots.
@nico155bb thanks for this additional information. I’ll keep you posted when we fix this.
