I am trying to rotate the cylinder 90%%d on the y axis and then position it so that the bottom of the cylinder is flush with the top of the plane denoted by the rectangle. How is this done in 3DS Max?
View 1 RepliesI'm attempting to follow instructions from a book to scale down part of a cylinder (as shown below). To quote the instructions directly:
[QUOTE]"Right-click the cylinder, and choose Face from the marking menu. Select the end faces, and scale them down a bit as in Figure 4.43 [ATTACHED]. This gives you the main part of the boiler."[/QUOTE]
I can't get it to scale down the way it is depicted in the photos. I tried selecting the faces and simply scaling, and I also tried selecting the faces and choosing "Extrude" first, and that did not work either.
Is it possible to slice one poly with another poly?
For example, the attachments shows a plane intersecting a cylinder. How would I slice the cylinder with the plane?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAt work, I notice that some of the newer draftsman (Me and about 3 other who have been there for 1-4 years) tend to prefer AutoSnaps on in some capacity and those who have been there for 7+ years tend to leave it off.
This has got me thinking about whether people prefer having AutoSnaps on in some capacity or another at all times.I tend to leave on End Point, Mid Point and Intersection on at all times, and just use CTRL + Right click to adjust as necessary.
When working in 3d the crosshairs seem disappear off the screen when i have zoomed in too far, as iff the crosshairs are located on 0 in the z access.
Also, and this could be related, when i try to snap to anything in the vertical it always snaps to 0 in the z axis. This makes it impossible to move anything vertacally by snapping.

After working for a short time in 3D, my object snaps dont actually connect to any visible corners or points on the item I have chosen to edit or move. The triangle or square appears further from the point I select. The only work around is to close down the program and restart. After only a few transactions, the problem starts again.I have checked the system and found it is using the latest driver.

snapping to the pixel grid. I even have the "Snap to Pixel" turned off and the vector paths are being altered by illustrator so they visuall fit in the pixel grid. I've never experienced this before where illustrator actuall moves the anchor points where it wants.Here's a vector path on a grid created to show where the pixels are:
I select the object, swap the FILL to the STROKE and right away you can see that illustrator altered the location of the paths.I swap the STROKE back to the FILL and it alters the paths even more!Here's another example:
The paths clearly are not aligned with the pixel grid, but illustrator is trying everything it can to make the pixels line up. (This graphic has "Align stroke to inside" and is in pixel preview). Same thing but not in pixel preview.I made sure snap to grid and snap to pixel is turned off and still to no avail.
I am trying to use object snap (intersection) to position the end of my sample lines at the intersection of the sample line with a polyline. The object snap works with sample lines left of the alignment centerline but not on the right. How do I correct this?

When dimensioning my viewports in paperspace, I will snap using the linear or aligned dimension and it will appear to snap to the first point, but when I snap on the other end, it will go somewhere way off the viewport or give me a "0" dim.

Say you've dimensioned something but end up wanting to change the dimension definition points...drag the end point to another location that you want dimensioned.
I thought it used to snap to a new location, but now it will not. I have to redraw the dimension (including all text I added).
Here is what I get when I try to move the dimension definition point:
Here is what I get when I try the auto-reattach feature in "repair". Still nothing to snap to.
Sometimes corner snaps in sketch mode will turn off. why does this happen and how do I fix it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I have a proposed storm sewer pipe network and 90% of pipes snap to the structures fine, with a start/lengthen snap on one end and an end/lengthen on the other, and a location/pipe diameter one in the middle. When I go to draw one of the pipes though, I draw structure to structure and it doesn't sit properly. I click on it to make sure it snapped to the structure but there is no start, end, or lengthen snaps on either end of the pipe. Only a Location/Pipe Diameter one in the middle. Therefore, I cannot manipulate it's length or where it connects, I can only move it around from the center.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've created a new smart object via copy, and then I try and position it 25 pixels below the original (i visually place the new object so the borders touch). Using the transform controls, I click the triangle, but instead of the Y position being 0, it's an arbitrary number that corresponds with the objects height. This eliminates the use of the relative positioning function, because then I'm forced to go back and do math, which I could just do with absolute positioning.
How on earth do I set the relative position of a new smart object via copy to 0, so I can simply type "25" instead of having to add? May seem easy to add, but again, each shape is getting adjusted slightly, and as such, I have to add every time, which means I have to figure out the height of the object every time, which essentially makes this option totally useless.
Being a newbie to Photoshop I have spent three days trying to track down an answer to my problem with no luck. I am attempting to create a some "embossed" text for web page buttons and each time I attempt to add a text layer to my background layer, the text seems to "glue" itself to the top edge of the text box no matter how I position it. This is not a problem with plain text, but when I add the embossing effect, several rows of pixels for the embossing go "above" the text box boundary. These pixels then disappear when I change to a different layer or try to save the image. When I am actively working in the text layer everything looks fine, but as soon as I switch out of text mode the top of the text gets chopped off. Am I missing something?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I import items, I get a "tool tip" near the mouse stating that I can press enter to center on the page. Or I can press the Space Bar to use the original position.

Is it possible to switch the import quick buttons around somewhere? for example: to have the enter button place the file I'm importing to the original position?
I have VideoStudio Pro X2 and the trial version of X4
I have the same problem in both versions: Titles do not position accurately and the positioning of titles varies wildly depending on output format.
Rendering to .avi seems to do the best but the output is HUGE. Whereas the .flv would me 8 _megs_ ... the .avi is 4.5 _GIGS_. Again, this happens on X2 (on Vista 64) and X4 (Windows 7 64)
How can I get the output to render EXACTLY as I see the preview screen?
It does not seem to matter if I put the titles in the title safe area ... they still move.
Is this a known issue?
The goal is to prepare maps of a water supply network. The pipes are polylines with parameters on OD Tabels.On Display Manager, i'm creating a style based on text in order to display the diameter of each pipe.So far so good. The problem is to find out how to place the text entities in a more intuitive position, that is, near the middle point of the polyline, with the correct angle.
On the "Position" and "Rotation" properties of the text style, what should i define in order tho achieve this? The ".labelpt, .Center, .X1Y1..." options do not produce the desired results.
I have 2 tanks, each one is an assembly in itself, and they have to be positioned on a steel skid, also an assembly and then interconnecting pipework between the two. My prioblem is that I can't seem to find a way to position the two tanks at a set distance from each other and in relation to the edges of the skid.
Because of this, my pipe router is going all over the place in trying to join up the two termination points.
I am a graphic designer and I have used mostly PS and have just barely used GIMP for its control over polar coordinates and a few other little things so I am pretty much new to it and I am having trouble figuring out how to position things in an image and I am having a little trouble understanding the process. use the program and I came across this tut here which has each text character in a seperate layer and I need to align them, but I want to be precise. I'm sure I can do it with the guides,but the person mentions in the tutorial to use the positioning tool and after hovering over everything I didn't see anything called the positioning tool. Should I just stick with aligning them by measuring and using guides or is there a more effecient way?
