3ds Max :: Custom Map In Daylight System

Oct 25, 2011

When I try and add a custom background map to the MR Physical Sky, the map takes up the whole environment removing the ground and horizon making my model look like is floating in the sky. Before I used to do this and the custom map would just replace the sky texture with my own cloud image. I've attached an image of what I'm trying to get which is basically my own clouds image as the sky but still retain the ground plain the MR Daylight System gives you.

3ds Max :: Daylight System - Artifacts In Render

Nov 28, 2011

I'm coming up with a strange problem with some of my renders (see attached, the white lines around edge). This is using a daylight system, I used a HDR map for the environment and though maybe that caused the problem, but it did with two other maps in the environment channel as well.

3ds Max :: Washed Out Images With Daylight System?

Nov 9, 2011

Gamma 2.2, Gamma 1.8. Linear workflow, exposure, input - output etc. how NOT to get washed out images using sun&sky. For example, you use daylight system to render a car with carpaint, the carpaint mat is washed out. No matter what settings are used. Some renders look as if each A&D material stayed nicely saturated and crisp while most don't. I know that the daylight system is supposed to mimic real lighting conditions, but there has to be a way to preserve a nice rich crisp A&D color on renders.

3ds Max :: Cameras And Daylight System Grayed Out?

Sep 7, 2011

I am not an expert user of this program and just jumped from 2008 to 2012. I model in Autocad Architecure and link my file, and apply textures in Max, where I create my renderings. I was plugging along today, and all of the sudden noticed that I cannot select my cameras, or daylight system- they are grayed out in the top view, and cannot be selected any other view. I can insert a new camera, but it is immediately grayed out and not selectable. I can however use the select camera through viewport, and can change parameters in the modify window, but cannot select them to move. My select filter is set to "all"...

3ds Max :: Black Horizon With Daylight System?

Aug 31, 2011

I am using a daylight system in 3ds max, but unfortunately there is a black horizon line that I can't get to go away. I tried taking the physical scale in the Environment tab up to 100,000 but that just made the black horizon white. It blended a little better but it still obvious. Is there a way to make that go away or disappear?

3ds Max :: Daylight System And A Spherical Environment Map?

Jul 15, 2011

I've currently got a daylight system in place with an "mr physical sky" shader, but I've also got a 360° sky panorama with clouds.

Is there anyway of getting them both working together? I've set the sun so it appears in the right place in my scene, but the sky is too empty. Putting the Sky panorama blocks the sun. I've tried putting the map on a Geosphere with a circular UVW map modifier and have tried adjusting the opacity but I can't work it out.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Custom Coordinate System Failure?

Jun 7, 2012

I think this problem started after installing C3D 2012, and I don't think it's related to the UAC problems.  I tried asking my reseller about it, but got no answer. 

This happens with all projects that use Custom Coordinate Systems created in C3D 2011 or earlier.  When opening the drawing and going into "Drawing Settings", I get this, and have to click seven times through the error box to finally have it do nothing:

Then, if I go back to Drawing Settings, I see this:

Notice how most of the dialog box settings are missing.

This stuff all worked fine for years, but seems to have gotten broken as soon as I installed C3D 2012, and is still broken in C3D 2013.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Getting Multiple User / Custom Coordinate System Files (2014)?

Dec 18, 2013

If you create any custom coordinate systems in 2014 products (Civil3D, Map3D) *.CSD files are created in C:Users{user_name}AppDataLocalAutodeskUser Geospatial Coordinate Systems with the additional data in them.

My question is - can you have multiple 'coordsys.csd' files?

The reason for asking is that we are setting up a large number of low distortion projections that are specified by a government roading agency and I figure the best way to distribute these is to create a coordsys.csd with them and sync it out to everyones profile (the location shown above), but there could then be issues if a user then sets up some additional coordinate systems that will only be on their computer, if we altered or expanded the company definitions and sync'd these out again it would overwrite the users ones.

It would be good to be able to have mutilple custom coordinate system files - ones for particular clients, countries, individual users etc.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Setting Up Custom Coordinate System For COGO Points

Jul 10, 2012

I have a small field (5 by 5 meters) to be set out with about 40 points. Currently i use EOV (Hungarian National Coordinate System), thus each point has a lot of digits. I want to make the implemetor's job easier, so i want to move and rotate the CS near to my field.

I tried to use UCS, but the COGO points retained the "World" coordinates.

How to carry out this without moving my whole drawing to the origin?

3ds Max :: Mental Ray Indoor Daylight Haze

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Cannot Mirror Daylight Subassembly

Apr 26, 2012

Why I can't mirror the Daylight Inside ROW Subassembly? For some reason I can only place it on the right side of my assembly and in the subassembly properties there is no option to flip it to the left. In the Modify Subassembly section when it's selected the mirror option is greyed out. 

What I am trying to accomplish seems simple enough:

I have a utility easement in a drainage ditch that is 30' wide with a sewer line designed down the center, we need a very simple 10' access road on the uphill side of sewer line with 4:1 Cut/Fill slopes on either side when possible, however when the 4:1 won't catch within the easement I need it to daylight within.

At first glance the Daylight Inside ROW seems to be the appropriate subassembly for this instance but I can't get it on the left side of my road.Is there a way to set up this parameter with a different subassembly because I can get other subassemblies on the either side just fine, for example, the Cut Slope Layout Mode subaasembly works but when I build my corridor with it the slopes tie outside of the easement in several locations.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Daylight With Variable Slope

Nov 6, 2012

I wonder is it possible to have a daylight (or other function)  that can give a different slope for datum and for the top.  This would be useful for if you have different rules (e.g. because of geotech) with regard to temporary and permanent batter slopes.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Make A Daylight Bench Right Before OG?

Jun 14, 2012

Is it possible to make a bench right before the daylight line meets the top surface (Original Ground)?

The Road prism is a tylical shape that has a u-shaped ditch on one side.  The daylight line from the outside edge of the ditch follows a series of comlicated benches at set elevations and then terminates at OG with no trouble but I'm trying to get an additional bench to be generated before OG (see attached + yellow lines). 

how to add this extera bench?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Daylight To Surface Max Slope?

Apr 18, 2012

I'm modeling a simple corridor (12' lane 2%, 6' shoulder 6%, 4:1 to match EG).  I used the "LinkSlopeToSurface" subassembly for the 4:1 to match the EG.   Unfortunately our EG isn't always wide enough for the 4:1 slope to match it somewhere.

Is there an assembly that would use 4:1 as a standard daylight slope, but where necessary adjust the slope, max. 3.5:1, to match EG surface?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Transition Between Daylight Regions

Sep 12, 2013

I am working on a project where some of the corridors require different daylight slopes. I need to transition between a region with 2:1 slope to a 10:1 slope. My local civ3d support said something about using grading tools to achive that.

What I understood was that my assemblies should not have any daylight sub-assembly and that i should grade the corridor and than add a transition zone between the different gradings. Did I understand correctly?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Subassembly Feature At Daylight Line

Feb 20, 2013

I have been asked to put a feature (a diversion berm) at the daylight line of a roadway where cut conditions exist off the proposed shoulder.  Because of the length of the project, it would be useful if this could be done automatically as part of the corridor, rather than creating a feature line from the daylight line and grading it separately. 

Is there a way to continue an assembly past the initial daylight line and make it conditional to cut situations?
