I have an editable poly that's a 1D circle (not created from circle tool, detached from another), but when I try to apply the shell modifier, it does not extrude "straight" - instead it's skewed.
The affect pivots only are set like this, so it's not going in the direction of the pivot either..
How do I change the direction of the shell?
Autodesk 3ds Max 2012
After some time while working on a file (any file, happened multiple times), max starts snapping from pivots instead of vertices(or whatever else I might want). Only vertex snaps are on, everything else is off. I have axis constraints on, but when I try to drag something, they turn off while I'm dragging and the pivot snap turns on, when I release the object, the axis constraints turn back on. And the vertex snap tick is nowhere to be seen. The only solution I found so far is to save the file, quit max, and start again (resetting max does not work).
I have a phenom x6, 8gb ram, SSD hard drive, Geforce GTX 465 1gb, running max design 2012 with hotfix.
Is there a way to make a object with straight lines to change the straight line to be undulated like a curly.

I want to put images on a website at about 45 degree angles, but I can't remember (or find) how to do it. I can rotate it image, of course, but whenever I try to save it, it comes back straight up and down.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got a strange problem with my ViewCube. My screen is showing the world ordinate system as it should in the standard plan view ( X horizontal,Y vertical); however, my ViewCube is skewed to the right about 30° (top view and rotated about 30° right). It is set to orient to the current UCS and the current UCS Is World. If I use the ViewCube to change the setting and orient it as top view orthogonal (north straight up) my view (UCS World) gets twisted left by about (not exactly) 30°.Am I missing something or is this abnormal ViewCube behavior?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am currently creating a 3D model of a building of a complicated geometry. I managed to do this in AutoCAD 2013 but when I exported the iges file and imported it to AutoCAD Inventor Fusion, I get a lot of skewness. This is particularly so for the cylinders I extruded in AutoCAD 2013.I have been looking at this problem for almost a week already. I have attached the photo of the skewness shown in AutoCAD Inventor Fusion.

See image IF01.jpg (below) the ViewCubein the Top Right of the Perspective Viewport is perfectly squared and showing the Left View - yet the Grid and all Objects on and around it are angled incorrectly.

I'm working in a CMYK workspace on a vector graphic with multiple shapes. The above photo is a portion of the graphic as it appears in Illustrator. There are only three color swatches being used.
When I export the file to a PNG, this is what happens:
The two shapes that make the creases of the hand come out a dull color that looks as though the opacity was lowered. I'm using the exact same color swatch for these two shapes as I am for the other blue areas seen in the photo. I've even tried to retrace the two shapes entirely, but I had the same result. My guess is that it has something to do with the yellow area, but I don't understand why it would be having trouble when the yellow shape in the bottom-left corner functions normally when a blue shape is placed in front of it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm Alex and I am new to Inventor. We just switched to Invetor From CAD and have been learning as i go mostly. I have been experiencing problems that are leading to major setbacks due to requireing me to redraw multiple items. With my job we have to use wide flange beams and square columns etc..I'm able to draw the indidviual parts and at times have no problem with anything being offset, crooked, skewed or anything. But I find that I'm doing something in the assembly process that is causiing my parts to become skewed/distorted in the assembly and thus also on my view layouts for prints.

tip: 1 week before i had win7 x86 and everythink was fine.
1. I did a clean reinstall of Windows 7 and then installed X6. Photo Paint works fine.
2. However, I don't see any CPT images in Windows Explorer. Just a Corel icon.
3. Uninstalled the Shell Extension. Then reinstalled first the 64 bit and then the 32 bit msi Shell Extensions from the DVD.
4. Windows still does not show CPT images.

When trying to shell a part i get the error: the attempted shell operation was unable to solve for a vertex....etc. i have attached the problem part file, of which the drawing is a fairly complicated frame (a chassis concept for a 3 wheeled race car i am designing)
How the part was made:It was created in an assembly using the frame generator tool and then converted to part file using the shrinkwrap feature. When using the shrinkwrap command, i selected: single solid body merging out seams between planar faces, All hole patching, break link, and remove all internal voids. and then when trying to shell i get the error message when selecting a wall thickness of 2mm.
i cant understand why the shell feature does not work as i have successfully shelled a very similar part file (with only slight differences in geometry from the file attached in the same way as what i am trying to do with this part). i can provide this part file upon request or the assembly file from which either was created. i need to shell the component in this way so that i can run accurate FEA (stress analysis) for crash simulations on it

I am trying to make a shell of a mesh feature after I have upscaled it.
I do not think the regular shell technique will work as my mesh feature has hundreds of surfaces. So, I decided to open the file with my part in it and then derive the same part but a little bigger using the derive button. I would then subtract out the smaller, original, one to make a shell of the bigger, derived one.
Unfortunately, when I use this method to upscale, the 2 objects are not concentric so I cannot make the uniform shell that I want to.
I have attached the file of my mesh feature in case you want to see it. not that you will have to convert the object you see on my file into a base feature before doing anything with it. I did not because it would have made the file to big to attach.
I have a funnel with a curved top. I'm trying to project an inset of the border onto the curved surface and use the shell command to create a hollow funnel with an overhanging lip. I have projected the inset successfully, but cannot select the resulting smaller face, just the whole original face.
A similar problem that I tried while attempting to figure this out was shelling a sphere. 2d sketch -> 3d sketch project onto surface, and try applying shell to the resulting "face". However I can only select the whole face when trying to shell.
This shape will not shell out with a 3mm thickness.....i suspect i may have not modelled correctly....how would you model this shape part so as it can be shelled out?

It has a hard shell breast plate, so I'm a bit worried about how to keep the body from penetrating the shell.
Any tips for a neophyte when using Advanced Skeleton - or any issues that are obvious when using my model?
Also, I'm going to be applying some motion capture in Motion Builder as well as animating by hand, so ... any comments
BTW - another thing I'm worried about is getting the non t-pose character rigged. This is how the artist gave it to me, and I know that MotionBuilder wants a t-pose. Hopefully, I can rig it in AdvancedSkeleton - and use that to get to a t-pose. But ... I'm not exactly sure of the best way?
