Is there a way to export only the geometry to .FBX or some other format, and then read it back into Max to make sure that only the geometry survives? Or is there a way to do it in maxscript?
I have used maxscript to set all geometry textures to null, but my project is still a mess.
I have an empy Revit model that has view pre-configured for exporting. The model has several linked Revit files that I want to export to NWC, but I get an error message that there is not suitable geometry, even though I can see the geometry. I have "convert linked files" checked.

i used to do a lot of spline extracting from geometry, mostly to use sweep modifier to modeling. But i usualy got a problem when i do that, some of the splines are "flipped" (or reversed), causing a problem in sweep geometry. In attached image, i extracted the splines from the faces below, and when i apllied the sweep, some of the splines get a different result. I tried to collapse the spline, reverse, flip the geometry normals, reset xform, create another spline and attach the extracted one, and nothing solved the problem. What i usualy do is to detach part of the spline and apply the modifier twice.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a complex 2D geometry (.dwg layout) I want to wrap onto a 3D tube. Is there and easy way to do this in AutoCAD Mechanical or Inventor (preferably AC Mech)? My machine takes a 2D flat pattern to create the part but i need to model the geometry in 3D for other purposes. I have been using Solidworks the "wrap" feature, but its inconvenient to jump between software platforms.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHave a drawing with multiple xref's , Blocks within it. Drawing geometry is a combination of 2D and 3D. Would like to project this onto a 2D plane - "FlatShot?" and then save it as another drawing.

When I use the 'Copy with Basepoint' command from the clipboard and paste the results into another drawing, all of the grouped items become ungrouped.
Is there a way of preserving grouped geometry when copying from one drawing and pasting to another?
my 3D geometry going missing after I have saved the drawing. Running AutoCAD 2013, Saving file Format 2010. I draw a room. I have walls, chairs, desks, a floor, etc. I save the drawing. When going to re-open the file I can see all of my geometry in the file preview, but when opening the DWG the floor is missing. All Layers are on and thawed. When running a purge command it indicates that something is on the layer, but I can't see it or select it. Changing visual styles also has no effect. I have used CAD in 3D since CAD 200.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a 3D geometry that i wanted to export as a .STL file. But every time i selected the geometry to export, i keep getting the option "Select solids or watertight meshes: Specify opposite corner:." Although the command line does show that the objects have been selected. I've tried different ways of selecting the geometry but every time it shows the same thing.
P.S - i was able to export it in other (.IGES, .IGS formats) but it doesn't seem to be working the same way with .STL

I normally use a database transaction to create temporary drawing Lines when I need to do any intersections. But I decided to try virtual Geometry Line2d instead. Intersecting Line2d with other Line2d objects. But I do not understand the Tolerance input. I definitely need it - without it all the line2ds are intersecting even when they actually don't.
I was wondering if there is a way to cut out geometry using a texture map.
So lets say you have a quad thats uv mapped. you apply a black texture with a white dot in the middle. Is there a way to cut that circle out using a method that just aproximates the shape?
I would be using this for complex stuff. I understand its a crazy question but I figured no harm in asking. The only thing I know to do is to apply the texture and then in the viewport just hand cut. But its a lot of stuff to cut so i'm open to any shortcuts and tips.
I have a scene set up like the picture below but for some reason when I go to render it out, the geometry isn't there for the plane object. I've set it up like that because I have the ball emitting fire and then deflectors along the plane so the particles move across them as if they fire was contained and the particle system reacts in this way but in the final render the geometry for the plane isn't there. I've went through the object properties and renderable is checked.

We just noticed that the imported cad geometry in a Mass family will not cut in a floor plan view which contains a plan region. Regardless of the location or height of the plan region.

why when file linking to a dwg file, all the geometry comes in all black until I apply a material on it. this makes for seeing what is going at start up very difficult . btw, I am also using vray 2.o
View 1 Replies View RelatedI seem to be having this issue with rendering in Max. I play this game called SimCity 4 and have a special user-built script for 3ds Max that allows exporting models made in Max into the game after a few steps.
The script basically sets up Mental Ray and some camera/light rigs to mimic realistic sunlight. In this image you can see the problem pretty obviously.. In some areas it looks like there is coplanar geometry, and i've double checked to ensure there isn't. Some objects have complete portions of the geometry missing, such as the roof.
