    We need to convert objects from 2D shapes to something in 3D that will allow us to use them. If you have VectorWorks Architect or Designer, you can use spaces,  otherwise you can use extrusions. Spaces have an advantage when we want to send them to the site model.

    What I don’t like about the Zone of Visual Influence command is that it’s limited to Landmark and Designer, and that temporary nature of it. How can you make this into a viewport, or export it some way to show other people.
