I can export from Revit to 3ds, and the materials come in, but all the material links are broken. How can I import the textures in to 3ds Max? I am trying to do an architectural walkthrough, btw.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am usually fine with changin the materials by going to visibility settings- imports and changing the materials.
However I have a file where I cannot change the material no matter what I do. I tried importing it as a family, I tried exploding the dwg, I tried setting the layers to 'color by layer'. It is beyond me
There is another file where I can only change some layers but not the others.
I redirected a user to the links in the Jewel tute but the problem is that while the tute sends you to the correct plugin thread, the download links in that thread are broken.
What we need is Zoom Blur Deluxe & Radial Blue Deluxe. To make matters worse they go by a couple of aliases...
I would put this is the thread for plugins but I'd have to do it for both.
I have the .DLL saved for both, so as a workaround for the broken download link, can I upload the file (if I can identify which one it is, not always that straight forward) & how do I upload it? As ab attachment?
When Illustrator files are created by my colleague on his PC, he drags and drops images from various folders into his Illustrator document. The file opens fine on our other PC's, but not on our Macs. We always get broken links messages which is horribly cumbersome.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe work with prototype buildings that can have material color variations from site to site. For example, a brick version of a prototype can have several different brick palettes from which to choose.
I'm thinking fo creating generically-named materials in the prototype set - Brick-Base and Brick-Accent, for example - with the idea that the specific material data for the function can be changed for each site-specific building.
While this certainly can be done manually, is there a way to import material data - and not just rendering appearance data but all of the data - into a model, either from another model or better yet, from some sort of data file? Ideally you would only import the materials for which you need to change the data.
I have a series of folders and I have linked art and the files they are linked to all mixed up in these folders. My file structure is as such;
myFilesHH01000-01999HH01000-HH01099HH001001.PDF
and now I need to change the file structure to this;
myFilesHHHH01000-01999HH01000-HH01099HH001001.PDF
adding the folder HH breaks the links.
What is the best way to identify the broken link and change its path with JSX?
I moved from an XP based PC to a Mac Pro running Lion. I copied LRcat to the new location and all photo files. Catalog opens and works fine in the Folders tab, but all of the Collections links are broken. Each of the collections links are pointing to the old location on the pc: C:usermy documentsphotoslightroom....
I have tried to right click on the collection folder and point it too the new location. This seems to be processing the change, but results in loss of info in the old C: location and does not redirect the Mac collection to the right place.
Is there any way to fix this at the top level without having to delete and recreate all the collections?
Following a Backup and Restore process to move from PSE 11 on Windows 7 to PSE 11 on Mac (Mt. Lion) I have broken links. Other catalog info is intact (file name, captions, tags, etc.). I moved 6 catalogs...only 1 was successful.
Background: I started with PSE 10 on Windows 7...installed PSE 11 and converted all catalogs successfully. Used File, Back Up (Full) process with an external drive to move the files and catalogs to PSE 11 on the Mac (10.8) using File, Restore Catalogs. I suspect that the issue may be in the portion of the Restore process that allows the choice between Original Location or New Location...seems like I tried both. The Adobe instructions in the PSE 11 offered step-by-step instructions but didn't elaborate much on the Location issue. I tried File, Reconnect, Reconnect All Files without success.
How to avoid broken links to an Xref while migrating to a new server?
We will migrate our servers and have to move all Xrefs. The Xrefs are composed from files located on different harddrives. Let's say A: / B: / C:
When migrating to our new servers I suppose we are just fine when we name the new harddrives exactly the same as the current situation? Are there any other things we should take care of?

I just used the help file for the first time in ages and noticed all the links to the graphics are broken hence no diagrams etc. I tried to search out where they are usually stored and it gives some weird Address under properties. It's a vba so suppose it's a database? How do I restore the links without having to do a re-install?
As to the pen: How do you stop the annoying over-the-top predictive curve that happens past the node in the next section after a long drag to form the first curve. i.e. you simply want to draw a straight line after dragging out a curved section previously and you get this unmanageable curve to deal with ?
I have a problem. I need to redesign the catalog for a certain company. Actually, it's a minor update, but the previous catalog, only available as a PDF has many clickable links inside it. When I open this PDF in CorelDRAW X5, update it and resave it, the links are gone. Is there a way to import the PDF with links, and save it also with the same links?done yesterday

I have loads (gigs) of .png textures that I need to use in Illustrator CS6. But it will not let me import them using hte texturizer. Is it possible to use .png textures in CS6, if so how do I import .png textures into CS6?
As an alternative, is there a website that offers free .psd textrues for personal use in CS6. I am currently re-creating a a map with poor pixelation and I need a lot of natural (stone, dirt, rock, marble, etc..) textures and building textures for a medieval atmosphere.
I have a request from an Architect to detach, purge and remove links from my model every time before I upload. I used to clean up received models (MEP 2008-2010) thinking it would increase performance. It's been a years since I have done this and my model performance behaves no differently. Is there any validity to his claims that this is beneficial on the Architectural side?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI get the following error when trying to use etransmit on two different projects:"the following files could not be checked for links"..We use Revit Server. We have many projects which etransmit just fine from Revit Server.
I looked this up and the only info I found said that Revit Server is locking a link or links or the main file. I (and our IT dept) checked Revit Server for locking and did not find any issues. I have tried locating the consultant linked files on the Revit Server too.
I linked in a cad.dwg survey into my Revit model and I don't like the result. I'm trying to unload or remove the linked file now and I get an error message, "A serious error has occurred. It is strongly recommended that you use Save As to save your work in a new file before continuing."
Saving to a new file does not change this problem. I've tried cleaning up the survey file, moving the file to another location, changing from relative to absolute path. Revit shouldn't even be finding this file any more. Isn't linking similar to x-refing in AutoCAD?
How to get this dwg out of my Revit file?
I've had trouble since upgrading from LR3 to LR4 with previewing files on import. Sometimes reports no import, sometimes just shows thumbnail; sometimes fails on all photos, sometimes on just some. Happens for different file formats (ie, JPEG, raw from different cameras), different card readers, different USB ports. Canceling the import and selecting import again seems to be a workaround, but this is annoying nonetheless.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI take a series of images, insert the SD card into the card reader and import the images into LR 4.3 RC.
Later after taking more images I insert the SD card into the reader, click Import in LR and it now imports all the old images again with '-2' appended to the file name.
'New Photos' is selected at the top of the Import dialog window.
LR 4.2 did not do this as far as I can recall - is this a known problem in 4.3 RC?
Happens on Windows 7 64 bit and OS X Mountain Lion.

What can i do to repair illustrator? - it´s part of a master collection install.
I'm reconstructing an old document originally developed with PageMaker. I've recreated a half dozen pages hopefully with more uniform techniques. The original line art for the pages was created in AutoCad and some were scans. To bring them into InDesign some of the art is now in psd format and some of the newer art is in Illustrator AI format.
I've noticed that the pages with photoshop art print pretty quickly (about 30 seconds). The ones with Illustrator art take much longer (about 1:30 seconds). They go through a flattening process.
I print these 50 page books on demand and that additional time would add about an hour.
I guess the question is whether this is normal and to be expected or not. If it is I'll likely turn everything into raster before going into InDesign. That, however, seems like quite a bit of extra work. Going from AutoCad to Illustrator (to add stroke) then to PhotoShop to change to raster and then into InDesign seems like a pretty convoluted work flow.
