I want to know how I can get exact distances on my UV maps.
I unwrapped my 3D DSLR camera model and I want to manage that the texts and signs on the texture have exactly the same distance like in reality. So how can I get those exact distances?
I am having some difficulty getting objects to exactly align to another. When I zoom in as much as I can I see that the two objects edges are not exactly aligned to each other on one axis despite having the same co-ordinate values. I am working in meters unit value. I have tried going to millimeter unit setup but I still have the object aligning issue using what seems to be the finest level of movement - 3 millimeters per movement action.

Im having a bit of an issue combining normal maps. Basically I am taking 3 normal maps that were rendered from a normal bake from three separate portions of the model... Using Photoshop i duplicate the layers over into a single file to avoid any overlapping or offsetting the maps, when previewing it inside MAX it does something crazy instead.
The maps display completely wrong even through the resolution and ratios are exactly the same. I have lined them up int the UV editor to verify. Do alpha maps in fact play a role im properly displaying combined maps (separating them from each other in a single file)? If this is the case, then how to i properly copy the alphas over into a single file using Photoshop?
I am trying to create a normal map from a model..when i goto "Render to Texture" and press render, i get an image with red color..In projection mapping, when i click on pick , i don't find anything to pick...create a normal map..

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to reconcile 3ds max's FOV camera settings to the settings I am presently using in Resoft Windfarm (a program which I use by imputting co-ordinates and height of a camera point and then specifying a horizontal FOV, which gives a real life viewpoint at the exact horizontal field of view that would be seen in reality.)
I'm currently setting the units to metres, importing my terrain at 1:1 and positioning modelled elements at 1:1 on top of the terrain in the correct 'co-ordinate' position, using the UCS with the exact 6 figure co-ordinate points. I am positioning my camera the same way, at the correct height and exact rotation, but when I specify the horizontal FOV it looks much smaller than it does in windfarm, like the field of view is not the same? I'm pretty new to 3ds max
I can not turn on the numbers when creating the UV maps as showing in the image I have attached with this question to make sure they are aligned properly.

The parcels don't quite close perfectly... what the acceptable tolerances are for parcels of say 1 acre and under, 1-5 acres, and 5-20 acre sites?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen using dimensions in paperspace i get the paperspace distances. Not those of the object i've drawn in model space.
f.e.: if i draw a line of 100 mm in model, and my zoom e on it in a viewport of 420, I'll get the distance 420. Like the dimension is not interacting with the model, see? Thought it would have something to do with the snapping, but can't find the link.
I'm working with site plans and have a lot of distances and bearings in my drawing.
Sometimes i need to reverse them. Is there a command in AutoCAD 2012 where you can reverse a hole heap of distances and bearings all at once? Mirror make them up side down. I want them to swop sides of the line they refer to.
I am aware of creating a polyline and using .AddVertexAt() to give the points, my question is if I want to create a polyline in acad I generally will pick a point and then type out @10.5<0 or something similar of that nature to pick my next point. Is it possible to add vertices to a polyline in .Net giving it the distance and angle of one point2d to the next point2d?
Example:
acPoly.AddVertexAt(0, New Point2d(0,0),0,0,0)
acPoly.AddvertexAt(0, New Point2d(1,0),0,0,0)
but instead?
acPoly.AddVertexAt(0, New Point2d(0,0),0,0,0)
acPoly.AddVertex ( use code equivalent of New Point2d = @10.5<0 from point at 0 index)
I have a form for adjusting center distances between several posts, up to a total of 20 posts. The number of posts is adjustable depending on how many I need. If there is 10 active posts there will be 10 suppressed post. When there are 10 suppressed post, I don`t need them in the form. Is it possible to hide the center distances I don`t need?

I can't seem to move objects in my drawing small distances..I'm used to being able to do this..must be some setting I hit, but I can't find which one it might be. I have snap to off, but this isn't behaving like snap to..it's behaving like I'm only "allowed" to move objects certain distances; any smaller and the object simply doesn't move at all..
I made a document with four layers:
background - parting linies - head lines - information
Each layer has many many elements (like parting lines: parting line 1, parting line 2, parting line 3 > each transformed 50 pixels).
The final result is a list that looks like this:
_______________
Head Line
- info
- info
_______________
Head Line
- info
- info
_______________
Now I want to resize the distances between each list element to 60 pixels. And it's a list that consists out of about 200 boxes. Is it possible to transform all elements the same way? Or do I have to mark each element on each layer that I want to transform? And which tool do I have to use? I have three columns and it would really take a long time to do this for each box and each element of the box.
I have a problem with X6 that did not exist in X4 (have not used X5).
When I use the dimensioning tool for distances/features smaller than the dimension text, CorelDraw forces the text between the arrows. The result is the text sits over the arrows.
In X4 at the point where the item being dimensioned is smaller than the text, the dimension was put off to one side.
For example, If I were to dimension a feature that is 0.005" Clearly I would not be able to put the dimension "0.005" in that area so it should be off the end of one of the dimension arrows.
I've tried every combination of keys while drawing the dimensions. And thinking the position of the cursor at end of the command might work but to no avail. Is there a way for force the dimension text to be offset and not between the arrows?
I haven't used Autodesk directly since Land Development 2i. I remeber being able to draw lines by distances and bearings with the numeric keypad. The bearing quadrant / DMS input was a fast way to draw parcels from an existing map. When I got to a curve, I remember being able to input radius and Delta angle. I've been trying to find those functions for months now. I found the Line by Bearing command and that works well as long as I don't run into a curve.
How do you draw a curve that's tangent to the previous line with the radius and delta angle? I've been going back to AutoCAD version 12 methods. That is, offset the previous line. draw a circle from the end of the offset. draw a line between the center of the curve and the end of the previous line. Rotate that line with the 12d34'56" format. trim the curve and erase the extra lines.
I've gone through all the curve drawing options in the home menu.I found the CoGo editor in the survey menu but it doesn't draw curves. It just draws a line from the beginning of the curve to the center and continues the traverse from the radius point of the curve. That's obviously either a serious misunderstanding of input or a program bug.
I'm literaly just starting to use CAD so this might be a silly question, but how would I offset a line more than one distance in a command? Is there like a symbol you put between each distance like 2000;2250;2650 or something along those lines (no pun intended).

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an assembly with several parts where I use a pattern to duplicate the parts in the height. I cannot use the pattern sideways due to different center distances between the parts. I could get this distance by using several patterns, but I rather not if there is another way.
I have made a code for suppressing the parts in element 2 if the same part is suppressed in element 1.
IfComponent.IsActive("FB-07 midtstykke-001:1")=False ThenComponent.IsActive("FB-07 midtstykke-001:2")=FalseElseComponent.IsActive("FB-07 midtstykke-001:2")=TrueEndIf
which works fine, however, I only want the rule to run if two criteria are true. I`ve tried the following:
If Component.IsActive("FB-02 midtstykke-001:1") = False And No = 2 Then
component.IsActive("FB-07 midtstykke-001:2") = False
Else
Componen.....
End if
But this rule runs even if No = 3, which it shouldn't.
I have a problem with polar tracking.Previously it was possible to hover over a point, then define the tracking direction and then specifying the distance. In 2013, the polar and object snap tracking path go away / ends when typing the desired tracking distance. Then the tracking direction has to be defined afterwords, which is new to me.That means that its not possible to define multiple distances continuously AFTER defining the tracking direction.

Civil 3D’s sideshot command acts differently. It draws lines between the radial end points.

Do you know what command is needed to do what I want? It is not the Create Line by Side Shot command.
I am using AutoCad C3D. I have drawn a building and now I am trying to position the building on a plot with uneven property lines using only “tie distances” from the spots on the property to specific spots of the building.
I do not know which C3D program functions (with just distances known) to get the building placed properly on the plot.
