3ds Max Modeling :: How To Create Construction Lines

Jul 26, 2012

I want to create a animation like this with a very Engineering Drawing theme to it: URL....I have also attached two images (stills) from the animation.

The question is, how do I create the "construction" lines (i.e. the blue marker lines) that go beyond the models? Is this something I should consider doing in post?

My current approach is to use planes with textures of the "construction" lines and linked to 3D models. The lines would also look like marker pen/pencil lines.

An alternative could be to use lots of lines and make then render-able but then they would look too perfect and not pencil graphite or marker lines.

Maya Modeling :: Construction Plane For Rotation?

Sep 29, 2013

In the "move" tool options, you can set the move manipulator to snap to a plane or to three points; is there an equivalent for rotations? Ultimately I'd like to select three points to establish a construction plane, then have an orthographic camera based on those three points. This way you can make a complex rotation based on some real coordinates. I think the old "Design Studio" used to have this function - you can take a polygon face, snap the plane right to it, and all your movements and rotations are exactly relative to that face.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Exporting Sketch / Leaving Construction Lines

Nov 4, 2012

I would like to export sketches, but leave off the construction lines as they all show up the same in my CAM program.  Is there a way to not export the construction lines?  Possibly using the "Post Process" options of the Export Options.  I am using 2013.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To View / Use Hole Centers Or Construction Lines

Dec 1, 2011

i've got this snowboard rack that i need to layout/markup with some #8 machine screw holes (with countersink for tapered wood screw head) - two on the end of each stretcher to fasten them to the uprights - 8 in total.  I also want to layout 8 more holes on the stretchers themselves.  I've got some center holes marked in the sketches..but they're not visible when i activate the hole feature so i can properly place the holes? 

why i can't extrude the 4 spacers i've got sketched on the back of the stretchers into a solid . . . . i can only cut?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hide Part Sketch Construction Lines?

May 16, 2011

Is there any way to hide construction lines in Part & Assembly sketches in the same way you can in a Drawing sketch?

I know you can change the line colour to the background colour but this makes the lines invisible in sketch as well.

Not being able to hide the construction is making some layouts pretty pointless since relevant detail is obscured by the construction lines. Grounding the geommetry and deleting the construcion lines isn't an option since the sketches are part of the design development and not fixed.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Have Construction Lines Already Drawn When Starting New Sketch

Aug 24, 2012

I'm wanting to have vertical and horizontal construction lines already created whenever I start a sketch so that I can set symmetric constraints to the part I'm drawing up. At the moment, I have to draw both lines every time and constrain them to the center point. It would be much easier if it was already there when I started so I can start on the sketch right away. Is there a way to do this? I've included a photo of what I'd like to do.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: How To Create A Construction Label

Jan 21, 2012

I would like to create a label that can be copied on a construction drawing that will label various materials. The last time I did this I drew a circle, put text inside, and attached a leader. Every time I wanted to label another instance of a material I had to copy all three things which was too repetitive. I think there is a way to create a dynamic block where all of these things are one block that can be selected and moved with one click but the leader is still adjustable.

AutoCAD .NET :: Create Construction Geometry That Would Behave As Polyline Bulge

Sep 9, 2013

I would like to create a construction geometry that would behave as the Polyline Bulge. In other worlds I would like to create a Construction Arc that would have a Bulge. Upon examination, I was not able to locate any of the Construction Geometry that has a bulge.

The purpose of this is to determine the Bulge location (direction) of the polyline I am creating.

I would like to stay away from creating a database geometry, if possible.

AutoCad :: Can't Extend Construction Line Across Both Viewports To Snap Them To Construction Line

Dec 24, 2011

Everything is on one layout/sheet.

Currently there are a total of 3 viewports in an L formation. The fourth viewport, will go in the upper right. But first, I have to get these aligned.

I think the viewports themselves are fine enough. The problems arise because the model is in Model space so, construction line (as far as I can tell) didn't want to snap to a line, (on the model,) in Paper space.(vertical or horizontal) So, I can only see the construction line, in one viewport at a time. Which means, the construction line is not visible in the viewport immediately to the left. So, I can't extend the construction line across both viewports, to to snap them to the construction line.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Create A Master List Of Construction Notes Then Use Blocks Attributes With Fields

Nov 16, 2012

I am looking for a way to create a master list of construction notes then use blocks attributes with fields to link to that master list. That way if the master list changed the note bubbles would change as well.

Sheet sets are being used with this project but I can't think of a way to make it work with the existing sheet set technology.

3ds Max Modeling :: Type-in Tool For Drawing Lines?

Sep 26, 2013

For architectural designing purpose I mainly use Sketchup because of its way of drawing like on paper but in 3D. Its quick, easy and precise. Therefor I use 3DS more or less for 3D compositing and freeform things like landscape and rendering. Sketchup is kind of a plugin for 3DS for me. The connection works well if you're modeling precisely and follow some rules.
 
Once in a while it comes up that Id like to draw more or less precise shapes in 3DS too, eg. kitchen appliances or whatever. I was searching for this often on the web, but only to find out that you can draw somehow approximately and use the type-in tool after to move (parts of) objects- or use the snap option while drawing, eg. to grid.
 
Just simple as: move cursor towards a certain direction, maybe lock angles with ctrl or shift or lock in relation to the line just drawn before, type in the distance and maybe the angle (or radius in arcs, whatever)- and continue to the next point.

3ds Max Modeling :: Divide Surface In Parallel Lines

Jan 11, 2011

Is there a way/plugin that divides some shape in parallel lines?

Something like doing:

slice with slice plane along ex. "X" axis every 20cm

of course my shapes not aligned in any axis. Making working pivot for each shape and then making a hundred slices would be a massacre.

3ds Max Modeling :: UV Editor - Green Lines Running Around Object When Select Model Polys

Is there anyway to create a gap in AEC extended wall in 3ds max. I know to create a gap while using doors and windows. But I wish to create a gap without any doors or windows. I do not want to use proboolean also, because I need the properties of Walls too.

Is there any modifier to create proboolean? Can we create a curved wall using AEC extended wall?

3ds Max Modeling :: Create A Horizontal Object

Aug 6, 2013

I was creating a gun on 3DS and everything was fine, I started with an horizontal Cylinder but since I wasn't happy with the final result I wanted to restart.

Now when I create that Cylinder again it's created vertically, not horizontally, probably I pressed something that I didn't want to, I want every object to be created in an horizontally way, how can I do that?

PS: I don't want to use any modifiers and/or mirrors, I just want every object to be created horizontally!

3ds Max Modeling :: Create A Surface Between 2 Splines?

Mar 10, 2011

I'm trying to create a surface between 2 splines. See attached image. I normally do this in AutoCAD very easily but I I'm playing around with the Max modeling tools.

I have tried drawing a spline between them and using loft. But the loft surface does not go between the two splines.

I have tried drawing a spline between them, converted them to nurbs and tried a number of the nurb surface options such as 2 rail and ruled. But they both create a surface but the surface does not go the full length of the splines.

3ds Max Modeling :: Create A Polygon From Selected Vertices

Aug 28, 2011

I used to use lightwave. With lightwave I could select vertices and then press the "P" key to create a polygon from the selected verts.Now, with max I have found the "create" feature. When using an editable poly, in poly select mode, I select the "create" button and this allows me to do 2 things:

1 - I can create a poly out of nothing by clicking empty space

2 - all verts from existing objects become visible and I select the verts I want to create a new poly.

These seem like really cool tools, if it wasn't for one small detail..With "#2" if I engage the create button, and select a vert - I can no longer rotate around the object and look at it from different angles (by pressing alt+center mouse) UNTIL AFTER I have created the new polygon.

This small detail is kind of annoying because with certain intricate models, I may need to move it around to get to the next vert in line. The only way for it to work, it to make sure I can clearly see ALL verts needed for the new poly with no other geometry or objects obscuring them before starting the create button.

Is it not possible to simply go into "vert selection mode" select a collection of verts (in doing so, be able to rotate around the object between making the selections) and then after I have made my selections simply click a button or key to create a new polygon from the selection?

Maya Modeling :: Use Create Polygon Tool

Oct 12, 2011

I'm trying to use the Create Polygon tool. My problem is that when I click to create a polygon I don't see anything. I can keep clicking and clicking to create points, which it apparently IS creating, but I don't see anything until I switch through one of the View types (wire frame, shaded, etc.).

I know I'm supposed to see the verts the second I click but that's not what I'm getting, it's more like I need to just go through the motions of blindly creating my shape, change views, and then edit the resulting verts and edges later.
