3ds Max :: How To Add Vehicle To Resource Kit (attached FBX)
Jul 2, 2013
3ds max 2014
1
I tried to add a vehicle to the resource kit (attached FBX).
Used the resource kit manager .. it almost worked .. final object did not appear, I got an emoty box where the truck was supposed to be.
2
then I tried to copy materials from an existing vehicle max, merged the 2 models in one max but could not find a way to 'copy' a material from source to target .. source appeared to be 'loacked' like a group
3
then I tried to make a copy of the toyota dyna truck - but scaled up a little (120%). Managed to scale up object but result in road model had the original scale??
Basically, the toyota dyna truck is too small. I need a real size delivery truck in Civil View or I need to be able to scale up the dyna truck. Steps on how to add a vehicle - including material settings would be useful.
Note.. in 2 and 3 .. the existing vehicles in max files, seem to be grouped somehow - what is used? How do you ungroup it? (it is not a 3ds max group)

I have a new truck that I'm building and I've seen some places that have some kind of javascript that allows them to just select different colors for the vehicle. I however have no idea how to do this short of heading at it with a the paintbrush tool. I'd appreciate insight into this and if not is there a possibility that someone has a single color photo of a 96 s-10 pickup that I could use the paint bucket on.

I am curious to know how other people create and produce vehicle graphics. I have had a tremendous amount of difficulty using CorelDRAW X5 for producing large vehicle graphics such as city busses and large tractor/trailer rigs and box trucks.
My basic workflow is to begin with a vehicle outline and actual measurements, create the full scale artwork, slice the art into 53" wide panels, and send to the printer RIP as PDF-X3.
For smaller projects this workflow works adequately, however, larger projects become such agonizing hassles I want to take up a new career. Due to the huge amount of lost time due to corrupt files, repeated crashes, software reinstalls, tedious work-arounds, etc. I feel I have no choice but to switch to a different software, most likely Adobe Illustrator.

What is the best workflow to create vehicle animation path for Civil View extension, when these path segments are not exported from Civil 3D, for example in intersections like in the picture of a simple case I attached. Do you create arcs in AutoCAD and then import them in scene, project them to road region surface and connect them to split corridor base lines, or you draw them directly in 3ds Max 2013?

I need to animate a vehicle driving to a point in my scene and then when it stops have two characters get out and pull an object out of the back and leave that object. The characters will then get back into the vehicle and leave the object behind. I know that if I select and link the object to my vehicle it will stay in the vehicle and follow it wherever, but once I leave it behind how do I make it stop following the vehicle?

Correct way to find makes and models of cars in the vehicle template library.
I'm trawling through the content folder and it takes me about half an hour to find the vehicle I'm after. I have tried using connect but with no success.

I want to make a 4 wheel vehicle rig using the Carwheel reactor. I want to do this as a means of learning how to use 3ds Max, and have completed many tutorials. I do not want to use plug-ins. It seems nobody uses the Carwheel to any extent. I do not want a simple car rig. I want to use the Carwheel reactor as it was meant to be used. I want to realistically steer and follow terrain with the rig. Am I being realistic? Is it even possible?

version 2014 It looks like the axle of vehicles is provided for wheel rotation only.I could be wrong, but it looks like plan rotation (z axis) is not provided.Or can it be applied manually at path curves?

I am designing a piazza that most types of vehicles need to circumnavigate. On a scaled location plan, I would like to draw the scaled turning circles of cars and lorries - especially emergency vehicles.
I have the Metric Handbook beside me which has typical 90 degree turns drawn but it is not obvious how they were drawn in the first place.
I have all the vehicle dimensions that I need, I just need to know how to calculate and draw the geometry.

I'm getting lots of error messages when I bring up drawings in my 2009LT. Resource Manager Error. Cannot load resource only DLL. File not found, then many similar messages with AecResMgrenu.dLL.
Over and over, keep hitting OK till drawing loads. Not one specific file either.
Also: Unable to locate resource string. Resource Manager is not correctly installed.
Is there a way to fix without reloading 2009LT and having to reset all settings. Can that file AecResMgrenu be replaced. I have backup Program Files on CD.

I'm running After Effects CS6 11.0 on MAC OSX and everytime I attempt to apply text, either by creating a new text layer from the drop down menu or dragging open a text box I get "Unable to Access Resource P_TextSmallCaps_Sm_N_D (type png)"
Is this a png file missing from the program, a fixable bug or what?

I've been using the drawing resource transfer wizard for years now, and all of a sudden it is very slow.
Usually it goes through the process of updating a drw in seconds, but now it takes second per item it copies to a drw.
Is there something that could be causing this?

Is it possible to load toolbar images from resource file instad file from disk?Now I did:
AcadToolbar tb = mainGroup.Toolbars.Add("MyToolbar");
tb.Visible = true;
tb.Dock(AcToolbarDockStatus.acToolbarDockTop);
AcadToolbarItem i1 = tb.AddToolbarButton(1, "Test", "TestButton", "x1bx1bTESTCMD ");
i1.SetBitmaps(@"D:IconsBMP est.bmp", @"D:IconsBMP est.bmp");
I can't say that it's very useful. Is it possoble to load images from my plug-in DLL (resource file)?

I've been running ADT 2005 successfully on windows XP Pro for a year, but suddenly after running the backup program in windows XP, I effectively cannot startup and run AutoCAD for all the "Resource Manager Errors".
Checking the Autodesk knowledge base, the problem is recognized, but the solution does not appear to be available to me. Here is what Autodesk has to say:
Startup error: Cannot load resource only dll
Published date: 2004-10-21
ID: TS100289
Applies to:
Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2005
Issue
When you attempt to launch a session of Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2005, the following error message is displayed:
Cannot load resource only dll
Solution: This error message typically occurs on systems running a backup software, such as Backup Software Verita 9.1. This software runs a remote agent that causes a conflict with the loading of ARX and DLL files associated with Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2005. In these instances, disabling the remote agent will restore the ability to launch and utilize Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2005.
*[back to me] - I've searched for the aformentioned "remote agent" on my system, but to no avail. Meanwhile, I cannot run ADT as it asks for missing files at startup and at every command.

Whenever I hover over my guardrail Subassembly I created with SAC I get this error. It's tied to the Tooltip info because it only happens when they are turned on. I have written a lot of subassemblies with SAC and this is the first one with this issue. See video: [URL] .......
I saw other posts about similar errors recommending a repair, which I did try, to no avail.

I'm trying to get the autoloader working. [URL] .....
Looks like it's a 'fairly' new addition and dead simple but..
All I need to do is add a single resource folder in the bundle and to the xml file to be able to access the files in the dll.
How to modify the xml file and refer to this folder in the dll?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><ApplicationPackage SchemaVersion="1.0" > <Components> <ComponentEntry AppName="DOTNETTEST2" ModuleName="./Contents/AutoloaderDotNetSample2.dll" LoadOnCommandInvocation="True" > <Commands GroupName="DevDays2010"> <Command Global="DOTNETTEST2" Local="DOTNETTEST2" /> </Commands> </ComponentEntry> </Components></ApplicationPackage>
I can't remember where I got the resource files from.
Here is the DevCast for creating the installer. [URL] ....
Also is there a way to change the path depending on whether or not you are debugging?
In VB6 I used a function
Public Function IsIDE() As Boolean 'Returns boolean value of True if not compiled IsIDE = (App.LogMode = 0)End Function

I'm running Map 2014 SP1 on my machine and the rest of the users in our organization are running Map 2013.
If I save a drawing back to a dwg 2010 version all is fine, but if I save the same drawing to a dwg 2013 version other users are not able to activate and query from it, even though they are otherwise still able to open and work with the drawing.

I am trying to clean up our drawing database and have run across several drawings that are showing external file references with a status of 'unreferenced'. During a scan early last week of all current revisions of our drawings (about 120000) we uncovered about 7500 drawings that don't quite cut the mustard as it pertains to the use of attachments. I have written a small .NET app that scans through my drawings, but I am having difficulty with one aspect of my probing.
I need to be able to open up an AutoCAD drawing, navigate to said drawings image dictionary, get a RasterImageDef from that dictionary, and then check to see what the 'status' of that drawing is. By 'status' I mean the status as reported in the External References dialog that appears when using the command 'xref'. In particular, I want to write out/show a message when I encounter a drawing with an attachment that has a status of 'Unreferenced', which I take to mean that the drawing was attached at one point, has been unloaded, but not properly detached.
My problem is that I can't seem to get to any property that shows that status. I have used ARXDBG to snoop the database and I can verify that I see the images still in the image dictionary, but not in the drawing itself. I also can't seem to get at thte status of the attachment. To compund the matter, everytime I try to inspect the RasterImageDef object I get, AutoCAD locks up and bombs out.
I am guessing I could get at what I need via C++/ObjectARX but I don't want to go that route if I dont have to. I have attached a snippet of the code I am currently using to scan through my drawings, not perfect or even pretty, but it works.

I have some building department forms in pdf format that I have inserted into paperspace in a layout. They appear fine in layout view and in print preview.
But when I print the layout to pdf, the attached pdfs all print faded. The pdf (as an underlay) is set to fade = 0, contrast = 100. No transparency setting I can find. The layer transparency is 0 and the plot style is at 100% screening.
If I set the layout to *NOT* print transparencies, then the pdfs print dark as they should. But I sometimes use transparency for shading or poche, and would like to be able to use that and also have an inserted pdf print properly.
Is there a way to set pdf underlays to print at full density? I seem to remember finding a global setting for this once, but can't find it now.
