3ds Max :: How To Turn Off Multiple Faces / Hidden Geometry
Aug 22, 2012
I don't know how to verbalize this, but earlier I was able to edit poly > select by face > and extrude. Now it only lets me select faces that I can't see in regular view but can see in Hidden Geometry. This is for every single mesh in my scene, and not just the one. How do I make it so that I can select the whole face and not the hidden geometry as well, so that I can extrude. I'm trying to do this assignment for class and have only until Sunday to get this all worked out .

i have a 2012 version of autrocad and i have a problem with my 3Dobject settings.
when i move my cursor over any object (eg:box) placed in SW iso view,I cannot see the bottom face of box neither the back or right side. The object should become transparent when i move my cursor over it,but instead the object is purely solid.When i want to shell box from bottom it becomes a problem.

In 2013 I could turn off edged faces. Now, even if I do the same thing in 2014, it actually keeps showing the edged faces on selected object.

I am trying to scale faces individually inward. I extruded the faces and went to scale them but they are still scaling together even though my keep faces together option is unchecked. I tried extruding with faces together and then unchecking it but that didn't work. I also tried deleting my preferences folder and that didn't work

I have some architectural scenes that i'm bringing into max from Softimage. I'm using FBX. When I export, the instances come across as dummy objects, so it appears that instances are not support with FBX.
When i'm in Max, is there any way for me to tell Max that these dummies should be instances of another object?

i've created this simple building and used boolean to cut some areas. now i got a really messed up topology which makes it real hard for texturing matters. how do i fix those edges highlitened in the picture. i want to make them as one solid quad rather than having multiple triangle shaped faces.

how to cut or split more than one face of a surface model in one go. The only way (it seems) is to use the Trim command for every face you need to trim, whereas I want to choose the cutting tool (a plane or face) and then choose a whole lot of faces (by holding CTRL and clicking the faces) and trim them all in one go. Is this possible? I can do this in Fusion, but Fusion is way too slow on my PC compared to Inventor.
I also tried extruding a sketch through the surfaces to cut them, but it doesn't work (Inventor complains that there aren't any solids to cut).

I've currently written an application for SolidWorks that reads file that geometry in the form of faces (ie. 3 or 4 double values that represent triangular and quadirilateral faces). I am trying to create the same application to work for Autodesk Inventor, but I am having some issues.
First, I am basing my code off from the examples given in the help files. There's a lot of pointers to objects being to get to the Face creation portion, this seems to be slowing my appliation down considerable compared to the SolidWorks counterpart. SolidWorks API has a modelling method called CreatePlanarSurfaceDLL that allows me to provide an array of doubles representing the vertex points in order (x, y, Z) for each point, so the array looks like this for a triangle (P1.X, P1.Y, P1.Z, P2.X, P2.Y, P2.Z, P3.X, P3.Y, P3.Z). Is there anything similar in the Inventor API to simply the process?
Secondly, when using the example, they all have a known "shape" and therefor there are a definied number of vertices, edges, faces, etc. And when adding the faces, the known points / vertices are used. In my case, each face contains information for it's 3 or 4 vertices. I created these using the prescribed methods, but when the final surface body feature is created, and a repair is performed on it, it shows a lot of duplicate edges and vertices. Do I need to take the time and filter out all of the duplicate vertices, and point to a single vertex that may represent a vertext used by up to 3 or 4 faces?

i'm trying to learn about AutoCAD, today i was trying to create a Glass cup, i've created it with REVSURF, at my first try it got square with only SIX faces, so after some seraching, i was told to set "SURTFTAB1" and "SURFTAB2" to a higher number like 18, so i configured them to 36... After that, the cup was looking pretty good and round, but then, i rendered it, at the highest quality "Presentation". But the cup continues to show the flat little faces, i would like to know if it's normal or am i doing something wrong? maybe i should do it with a circle and then press/pull it with a smaller circle on the top?

I'm trying to extrude multiple faces, and then get them to rotate along the center of the object so that they can all sort of have the same angle radiating from the center. In the picture, the one on the top Left is my starting point. I would like to rotate those faces, for example, so that they will all be flat (picture on Right which I achieved through vert snapping to grid) but the only results I can produce are the 2 small pictures on the bottom. =(
Is this possible?

I am trying to create a C# program to do batch Title Block attribute updates on selected AutoCAD drawings.
What I would like to do is keep the AutoCAD interface hidden, and just display my custom form which would allow the user to select the drawings that they wish to process.
And then the custom program would load each drawing behind the scenes and update the Title Block attributes, but the AutoCAD interface would remain hidden.
Is something like this possible with AutoCAD 2010? Are there any examples doing something like this (showing a custom form at startup, etc.)?
PS We do have newer versions of AutoCAD available if needed. Our engineers use AutoCAD 2010, but we could use a newer version for this standalone tool which would only be used by 1 or 2 people.

I am currently endeavoring to translate some (very) old print drawings of standard geometry used by my company to electronic format with Inventor. Many of these standards include a matrix of certain dimensions (noted by a letter variable on the drawing, such as "A") and what their values should be, given the required size of the geometry's main feature, like the cross section of an o-ring that is supposed to go with it. Is it possible to build such variable/multiple value dimensions in Inventor and have a corresponding matrix printed on the drawing with it?

Working in assemblies with multi-solid parts or parts with derived geometry generates unstable environments with multiple crashes per day. Some crashes don't even prompt a crash report. This has been going on through multiple versions of Inventor up til 2012 which I am currently using now. Has or will this ever be addressed?

i got Inventor recently, and i've been working on a model of a longboard just to teach myself how to use the tools in Inventor. right now i'm trying to color areas for the griptape pattern so i drew the 2D pattern and projected it onto the 3D model of the longboard. but when i tried to split the faces of the model along the projected pattern only a few of the projected lines split the faces. for other faces i kept getting these errors:
Create parting line failed Crane.ipt: Errors occurred during update Split11: Could not build this Split The attempted operation did not produce a meaningful result. Try with different inputs.

In 2008, never had this issue.Just dumb, circles, and lines in a view port, that have hidden or center linetyoes assigned to them. When we go to plot using legacy hidden (this new for 2012?) the plot comes out with continuous lines. These are not solids. Just ordinary line entities.Now, when I change the shadeplot to "hidden" the linetype is shown correctly, but now my entities are coloured, when I just want my drawing to be black and white (going to PDF), even though all of the colours in the pen style are set to "Black".
Has this changed? Is there a new variable introduced?

I'm drawing objects (walls, platforms, etc.) in 3d made up primarily of extruded polygons. I want to be able to plot these objects in a way that hides all of the lines which are obscured by other objects. Currently I have my viewports set up with a 2D Wireframe visual style and a Hidden shade plot. This isn't working for me. I'm still getting all of the lines in the drawing visible no matter what.
Here's the strange thing: It seems to work perfectly fine in plan view, but not in front view. Also, it's worked fine in the past. It seems that the problem has gotten progressively worse over the past year or so.
I'm using AutoCAD 2008.

I have over 2,000 different size psd files, both portrait and landscape, that need to be formatted in 3 main ways.I am looking for some automator or photoshop actions way to do this to save hours and hours and hours of work.
The first step is that each image needs to be proportionally placed into its own tile that is 1110 X 1050. (Each file should keep its original name) Do the images need to be flattened before this is done?Can this be done with photshop actions and/or automator to save time doing it manually?
The second and third steps are to convert the image to a png and to also create the following file sizes/names
185x175 called "title".png,
370x350 called "title"@2x.png,
555x525 called "title"-ipad.png,
1110x1050 called "title"-ipad@2x.png
My system is
Mac OS X version 10.6.8
Photoshop CS5 version 12.0.4

20110421veiwports turning off.jpg AutoCAD isnt being nice to me lately another hassle i have is the viewports randomly turn off ( they dont show anything) and when i turn those ones on, others turn off.
i dont know how to change the topic to "solved" however a collegue told me to enter MAXACTVP at the command line the value was 16, i was told to set it to 64 ( i had 21 viewports ) and they all came on.
