So I've started to work on materials and lighting and a lot of tutorials show using the arch & design templates. problem is that i don't have any templates listed. the list is completely empty. Can i install these, or fix this? If its just a file missing, I'm not sure which it would be or where it would be at.
Max 2011 SP3.
I just finished installing autodesk 3ds max 2012-64 bit. There's a small problem that im facing due to which my work is getting delayed.
Description:
1. The model is completed.
2. Renderer is assigned to 'mental ray'.
3. When in the material editor, when i click on "Arch and Design", the drop down template is MISSING.
Installation was perfectly fine.
I used BRUSHED STEEL, in Arch & Design, now I have to change the color of this material, from grey brushed steel into yellow/gold brushed steel!
Can this be done?
I am using some A&D MR metal material in my scene and it is coming out transparent. The same is happening for any material that has a shine/reflection. It looks like a poor quality 'cloaking device' type effect.
I am rendering with Mental Ray using a bitmap environment background, daylight system and MR photographic exposure.

recently i got a new workstation at work, and i am puzzled with one problem. I made a clean installation of Max, ran it, and started to work, but for some reason, my material thumbnail shows refraction of A&D material as thin walled even when it is set to solid.
I tried to uninstall max, wipe max directory and user folders in Appdata/Local/Autodesk, reinstall everything again
Happens both in slate and compact ME.

Among about a dozen ACAD users in my office, one is missing the "Arch D (landscape)" paper size that accompanies the PC3 file we generally use. I have checked that the roll size and other settings in the machine in question and all of that looks good. I don't want to edit this PC3 as it works for everyone else and don't want to create a new PC3 for this one user.

We do have a storm drain system running perpendicular above it and need to show the arch as a crossing. Corridor would work but I think I would prefer a pipe network-type solution.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 45 PCs running Autodesk Inventor 2011 in a student PC lab. We have since set up Vault Server and I need to change the location that these point at.The files that I need to edit can be got to by:
1. Open Autodesk Inventor
2. Click “Pro”
3. Click “Options”
4. Click the “File” tab
5. I need to edit the following: Default templates, Design Data (Styles, etc) and Default Content Centre files.
6. The above three will be pointed to a server that has vault setup on it (\vault emplates, etc).
Now to clarify, Inventor works, I do not need assistance activating it, and I do not need assistance with group policy to set up the install..I need to be able to modify the above with group policy through either the registry (if possible) or some other method.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am an IT specialist running AutoCAD Civil 3D on about 100 computers for students at a community college.
The students recently alerted me that the Plan Production templates are missing from their accounts. I have previously watched these templates build, and they are supposed to be installed for each user the first time they run Civil 3D. (I have actually seen these files get added to the enu directory as the green bar progresses.)
At one time, these templates loaded, but now they are not. I am seeing two other folders in this directory, as wel as several other templates in the enu root directory, but not the Plan Production folder.
Civil 3D is part of a suite of CAD apps I installed on our systems that includes base AutoCAD 2013, AutoCAD Architecture, AutoCAD Electrical, AutoCAD MEP, AutoCAD Inventor, AutoCAD Mechanical, AutoCAD MAP, and AutoCAD REVIT.
Also, I have installed Civil 3D SP2 directly over the base installation without first installing SP1.
Finally, some users have told me that we should run base AutoCAD once and let that progrm make the first-time-use changes before running Civil 3D for the first time. I have tried running base AutoCAD first and Civil 3D first, and neither seems to make any difference.
I have created a design with two fonts that I used, but when I open that design now is shows that the 2 fonts are now missing and wants to substitute for another font, I designed the logo about 8 months ago, I have looked in my Fonts folder in Control Panel as well as Font Navigator, but they are not there, this happens a lot with other designs as well.

My company have recently upgraded from Inventor 2010 to Inventor 2013, on the whole I like it a lot better but there is one feature I can't find or Autodesk have removed. I have attached an image of what I mean if I haven't explained it very well but on the browser bar there used to be a drop down 'design view representation' that you could change back to 'master' quickly. I found this very useful as I often use the 'visible' tool to hide parts then want to unhide them all at once. Is there another way of doing what I want or does this tool exist hidden away somewhere else?

I’m suing the Mould Design feature of Inventor Professional and need to have four cavities for this mould. When I try to use the pattern function nothing happens. I look at the Wiki help and it says that I have to enter values for X direction X distance etc, but this dialogue box does not appear.
How can I get the box to appear?
I work with Autodesk Plant Design Suite Ultimate 2013, and I can't find Tube and Pipe?

we have just upgraded from Inv 2011 to 2013. I am trying to create the drawing templates in 2013 by using the blank 2013 template and then copying our border from 2011 onto it. This works a treat apart from 1 thing.
The i properties do not get copied over as well so the sheet is blank from drawing number, title and the custom properties etc.
tried to install AutoCAD 2012 with SCCM. So I configured an automatic install for it. Tested the installation by clicking the link... everything is fine. Then uninstall and tried to roll it out with sccm: The installation works but there is no shortcut for Autodesk Design Review 2013. Not on the desktop, not on the startmenu Why?
Don't want to do that manually on 40+ computers..
How do i arc some text, without going to the warp settings because thats too hard to work with, i need it to arc like aroudn a circle.
View 4 Replies View Relateda way (or filter) that will arch and image (say 9" wide x 4" high) like you can do with the arch type effect? The top and bottom would arch and the sides would flare out. The 3D distort filter doesn't do the trick without major playing and tweaking.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to construct an arch in revit but Ive only been able to make a curved beam in the wrong plane. Whats the best way to make an arch so that it would look like a straight beam in plan view?
It needs to connect to ground level in two places and have a specific height if thats relevant.
I want to make slightly curved arch blur effect, but I can't figure it out how to.
Using radial blur, it needs huge canvas size so I don't want to take that.
Also I want to control arch angle manually.
How can I create such easy text arches?
