I imported a model from Sketchup into 3DS Max. When I apply materials to some of the surfaces, the scale of the texture varies from face to face, these are the triangles that make up a polygon. It's as if the texture is getting stretched or compressed in one direction or another. Other polygons allow for consistent materials. It seems to be random and I can't figure out what to do.
View 2 RepliesI imported a model into 3dsMax from Sketchup.
The model is a 5200 sf interior building space that I had applied materials & components to in Sketchup.
Now that I am working on the model in 3ds Max, I am having some issues with the application of materials to the objects. Basically, some of the objects kept some of the materials that I had applied in Sketchup; however, some of the materials did not come through into Max. When I try to remedy this and apply the correct materials to the object, it is linked/grouped to several other objects in the model that I do not want to apply the material to.
I have tried to make a copy of the material in the material editor and then reapply to the object, but it still applies it to several other unrelated objects.
Also, I seem to be having trouble with my zoom feature in the viewport....my zoom will sometimes work, but sometimes it will zoom all the way to extents of the model, and won't let me zoom back into the interior of the model space; I don't know if this problem is related to the previous issue.
I seem to have issues with this particular file from sketchup pro, Ive tried converting the .bak file without luck, on my mac the file briefly opens then closes.
I am using autocad 2013 student and also tried opening it on other computers with the same result.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm importing two separately made images to Photoshop; both made from Sketchbook Pro on the i Pad. One is a background, the other is just a doodle. (background)
(original doodle)
What I've done so far is use "Color Range..." to remove just the black, then apply the "Darken" effect within the Layers Palette.(current view)
What I must know is how to use my doodle layer as a mask; to use the texture from the background image in the doodles brush strokes, but not be seen in the areas that used to be black.
I aim to use this effect in many kinds of imported images made from my i Pad, as well as handwritten graphics. I trust this would be very simple to use with actual typed-out text, but I'm having difficulty to find pre-existing solutions.
I like the option of doing an IBL Lighting effect, but when I add a new texture image it is scaled so LARGE that I don't get any of the details of that image in my reflections, etc.
Is there a way to scale that image (texture) down?
I've imported AI files that I want to alter using spline editing tolls like 'Outline'. I'm having to select in Pshop the area that I want to export as AI file but when I get it into Max when I want a 1' outline it goes completely out of the area. if I enter .0125" in outline I get about a 20' outline!
What am I doing wrong? How can I convert the spline's scale to work properly with 'Outline'?
I've imported a PDF file and I'm trying to do a quantity take-off by finding the area of certain areas (this is a landscape plan). However, I'm having trouble calibrating the scale so 10' on my plan is 10' according to AutoCAD as well.

I built the model in sketchup, exported it as a .dwg, then impoorted this .dwg into a new Revit family. I then loaded this family into the revit file I'm working in. Its cuts through the model on basement and ground floor plans but not on 2nd or attic. For the 2nd or attic it just shows me the roof of my model.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am currently working on a model which was first created using inventor. Its is a drawing contaning tanks and pipeworks.I have looked into the drawing and have noticed that all the parts are 3d solids. The file size is over 100mb which makes the drawing impossible to work on.
Resolving the file size issue? Maybe converting all the solids to blocks?
I will be able to have access to the original inventor file and possibly try exporting smaller parts of the site and xref only the relevent parts of the site as required for each drawing if that makes sense.
I'm pretty new to 3ds Max and I am trying to make a short animation. Its about a game called Minecraft ( its ok if you dont know what Minecraft is ) but anyways I got a texture online for a model I had. When I drag the texture onto the model it appears blurry. Everything else is fine except that its blurry. "set the interpolation of the texture to none". How to find the interpolation of the texture and what that means?

View 1 Replies View RelatedQuery on rigging, more to do on skinning. If my uv is a multi uv layout (0-1, 1-2 and so on) for a model then I am able to get the maximum size of texture for each part of the model.
When I take this to rigging then the model gets a default bind skin properly.However when we try to paint skin weights it starts behaving erratic after some time.I feel this could be due to the multi uv set feature.Is there a solution to work around this?
I am newish to AutoCAD having just gone through a Lynda tutorial.
When i open my layout i see my drawing as a very small drawing at the bottom. When i expand the whole layout i see shapes which re related in that its the basic shape of the drawings but that's it. No lines at all. In the Lynda tutorial all seemed so easy. I am using metric. I have uploaded the file.
I work with a 0.1 text height (in the model tab). I want to have in the layout tab a 1.5 text height always. That is when the scale is 1:200, 1/50, etc.
What do i have to do to achieve that? Maybe annotation scale.
I am trying to draw a floor plan, that has one side 90' long. When I change the units to Architectual>inches, and then enter 90' as my line length, the line becomes way too long to fit on the screen. This is clearly some sort of a scaling issue.

Can you print a model file to scale without setting up a view with a scale? Like in Autocad, you could print the model space to a certain scale within the page setup manager. Does revit have anything like that? Or do I have to set up a sheet view prior to printing anything?

I have been using Autocad 2000i LT for a number of years now but with limitations.(self tought of a fag packet) I am trying to get it to work for me rather than me work for it! Normally i use it for doing for producing panel wiring drawings, the way i normally do this is have a drawing on layer 1 then copy paste for additional layers, though this works ok, when i need to change eg date / site ref i have to change it on every page. I know by doing the basics on the model this then transfers to the other layouts. Plots set up for A4 landscape, on model / layer scale set to 1:1 I do drawing on model then when choose new layer the drawing scales down even though set 1:1 paper size same ect.

I have a drawing with the model space set at 3/16" scale. I've never worked like this before (I obviously always scale in layout space). However, I need to get this drawing back to normal scale so I can work on it.
How to use the scale factor on this to get model space from 3/16" to 1:1.
AutoCAD to draw various drawings, my issue to set scale.
1. what are the procedures of setting scale in modal space? say if is 1:1 then how to make 1:2 or how to recognize if someone has set a scale say 1:20 in modal space so that you return it to 1:1?....( here i need the procedures)
2. what is different among the following, one using mm, another using cm and the third one using m when drawing in modal space, do these people face different if they decide to use the same scale in layout to print? say if they us 1:50xp, what will happen, in their output.
