Hi I’m wondering if this topic has been discussed in this forum before. In simplified terms, the issue is this: if you have a 2D perimeter with inner sub-perimeters, and within each of them there’s a label indicating the number of floors rising above that perimeter — would it be possible to create, for each floor, the corresponding perimeters on specific layers for each one? Does anyone have any idea how to approach this?

Hello! Is it possible to create this kind of parcele name or Maybe on number. As you can see in the picture attach it symbol / between two numbers. 3/180. Its writen in blue color so you have to look a bit carefully....my mistake Thank you

A couple of comments, the outside stairs use a rectang with a wipeout so it hides the windows behind. Also there is no inside support ? tr I am metric but not sure about 2x4 for rafters at that span, there is no @ what spacing. Ceiling 2 lines or even 3 with insulation shown. Concrete beam arrow did not point to it, and a conc beam should be shown as a "T" This detailing is wrong only show 12' beam not concrete at bottom. Cantilever balcony is shown wrong. see red lines. There is no way a 4' slab can cantilever that far. May need some help on structural layout of beams in slab. Enough from me, its about learning. I am sure others will comment.

Thank you for your feedback. It’s my first time working on this, so I didn’t realize I could upload the DWG file. I’ll share it so it’s easier to review. Thanks again for your time and advice! Drawing1.dwg

Hi, please share the TTT lisp

Yes, we should see the peak of the roof from one side and the ridge from the other. Unless there's a flat section in the middle.

Then post a .dwg file that we can downloaded and view better. Right off the bat your roof cut section should appear differently in the two sections. Judging by what I can see it's very similar in both sections. This will be my last comment. Good luck on your submission.

Being a road designer for many years we would always sample wider than needed, as you suggest a small problem when a line ends on a face. Within the plot section you would set left and right limits so this would truncate a section to a fixed width, even though sections are wider. One clean up was we wanted natural surface to be wider than the design so would trim left and right section details to get that effect. Oh yeah the other is we always started a road before the actual start and after the end so could work out the blend correctly.

Excuse me. You're right. It's a combination of several things. Basically, the 'getfencesel' function, when the selected axis ends, with one of its ends, on one of the sides of the 3DFACEs it intersects, fails to capture that intersection and doesn't display it in the profile. This, in some cases, produces an error, and the command doesn't execute. There's something else, but I'll have to look into it later. When I'm done, I'll post the resulting code for anyone curious to try it out.

Thank you for taking the time to review my work. I appreciate your feedback. I just wanted to clarify that my question was specifically about the roof cut section.

Re: roof. It's difficult to tell given the scale of the image above. That aside, I do have a few questions. Where are the closets in the bedrooms? Why are there no bathing facilities shown, like a shower or a tub, in either bathroom? Why are the hallways so large (almost room size)? Hallways tend to be much narrower than rooms. Where are the living rooms? And shouldn't counters/appliances such as a refrigerator, electric or gas range and a dishwasher be shown in your floor plan? Is the house completely wood framed or a combination of masonry and wood? Depending on the situation your sections would be different. Wouldn't a post or two be required under the first stair landing?

I’m sharing my drawing for your review. Could you please check if it looks correct? I think there may be an issue with the roof section, but I’m not sure what exactly is wrong.

Maybe post how you solved it for others.

I agree with what you said. (setq theblock (vla-InsertBlock mspace ip item xscale yscale zscale rot)) Editing the code like this fixed it. Thanks .

I think Steven is right , this is about redefining or not. When you insert a block without path , AutoCad uses the block definition allready present in active drawing. If you put a path to it , AutoCad will overwrite current block definition with the one on file. So , if you insert block for the first time , then edit it and after that insert the one from file , your edited definition will be overwritten again. Standard / classic / basic AutoCad behaviour.

I prepared a block dwg file and a example dwg file. And of course the lsp file for comparison. I deleted the inner part of the block in the example dwg file. Without deleting this block, add the second block using the commands in the lsp file. Note 1 : link for vla-insertblock >> https://www.afralisp.net/archive/methods/lista/insertblock_method.htm (I just changed the item line to select it) Note 2 : After using the "al-insertblock" command in AutoCAD, run the regen command. BLOCK.dwg EXAMPLE.dwg EXAMPLE.lsp

Are you able to post a copy of the LISP so we can see what is happening? Sounds like your (command method is referring to the source file and the (vla- method is referring to your working file

Hi everyone, I encountered a problem yesterday. I have a Block.dwg file. I call the Block.dwg file into the A.dwg file and make edits within Block. After that, I run lisp. At this point, I encounter the following error. When I insert the same Block again If I insert it with (command "-insert"). It is based on the block in A.dwg and the block I insert looks like it. If I use the (vla-insertblock) function, it moves according to the inserted block and the blocks in A.dwg look like the block I inserted. What is the reason?

Hi @BIGAL. I’ve taken a look at TriangV0.6.7.lsp but one of the most important functions, c:Prof, doesn’t seem to work properly. I can’t manage to find correspondence between the intersection points of the selected line and the 3DFACEs with what they should be in reality. Has the correct functioning of this command been proven? PS: SOLVED

O mine is the other way around in that the viewport has to be existing in paperspace already with the sacle you want. ;;----------------------------------------------------------------------------;; ;; Creates Viewport outline and moves it to Model space (defun C:VP2M (/ SS vp elist MiscOn cen c40 c41 LL UR) (if (setq SS (ssget "_X" (list '(0 . "viewport") (cons 410 (getvar 'ctab))))) (foreach vp (vl-remove-if 'listp (mapcar 'cadr (ssnamex SS))) (setq elist (entget vp)) (if (> (cdr (assoc '69 elist)) 1) ; skip display viewport (progn (if (= (cdr (assoc '68 elist)) 0) ; is viewport active? (progn (setq MiscOn 'NO) (vl-cmdf "._Mview" "_on" "_si" vp) ; activate viewport ) (setq MiscOn 'YES) ) (setq cen (cdr (assoc '10 elist)) c40 (cdr (assoc '40 elist)) ;length c41 (cdr (assoc '41 elist)) ;width LL (list (- (car cen) (/ c40 2)) (- (cadr cen) (/ c41 2))) UR (list (+ (car cen) (/ c40 2)) (+ (cadr cen) (/ c41 2))) ) (vl-cmdf "_.Pspace") (vl-cmdf "_.Rectangle" LL UR) (vl-cmdf "_.Chspace" "_Last" "") (vl-cmdf "_.Pspace") (if (eq MiscOn 'NO) (vl-cmdf "_.Mview" "_off" "_si" vp) ; deactivate viewport ) ) ) ) ) ;(setvar 'Tilemode 1) ;switch to model space (princ) )

Like @mhupp I have a couple of make layouts I tend to use this front end which matches a user's title blocks. You can make multiple in one go using 2 different methods or pick a central point. It is two separate functions as you can check the rectangs 1st then make the layouts. Happy to discuss further.

THANKS MASTER

I have a simpler version kicking around at home that ill post later tonight.

oops forgot atoi to set X as an integer. in VBA you can just do math with strings if they are numbers "80" * 5 works the same as 80 * 5. not so much in lisp.

After many months of avoiding this issue when I switched offices. I found out this happens when linetypes are created with .shp files required. If you have an issue where the linetyepes show incorrectly please just do the following to fix. 1. Type "OPTIONS" 2. Go to FILES tab 3. Support File folder, and navigate to the file that holds your fonts files and move it to the top of the list. 4. Finally, close cad and reopen. The hierarchy of the support files a crucial to what it loads and displays in cad. It will ignore the file needed if it is not prioritized in the support file folder correctly. You are welcome
