AutoCAD 2013 :: How To Apply Textures Of Individual Walls To Wall Faces

Jul 23, 2013

I cannot seem to find out when and where it's ocuring. I took measurements of a large room and modeled it in Autocad 2014. The solids I used are rather simple, mostly just boxes with some boolean unions and substractions here and there. I then took pictures of every wall, perspective-corrected them, imported each of them to Autocad as material, assigned the real size to the picture material and applied those materials to the corresponding wall faces. Planar mapping proved to be adequate in all cases and mostly mapped correctly on the first go.

The project was completed and saved. To my horror most of the material mappings had just gone the next time I opened the project. It was just as if I had never applied any material mapping or texture to the faces.

After partially appliying the damned material mappings and materials (textures) again I tried to determine under what circumstances the mappings get lost. Its not allways the same walls. The bug seems to occur randomly on various geometry and at various times. Sometimes the mappings get lost after opening the project, sometimes the get lost on the fly when isolating (hiding) geometry. There is no way I can get the room to look as I want it to look as there will allways be some wall that has become default-grey again, randomly (either while working or after opening up the project again).

I really expect Autocad to be rock solid after so many program versions. Did I do something wrong? How would you go about applying textures of inividual walls to wall-faces? Or is Autocad just crap regarding heavy use of textures because that is not the average use-case?

AutoCad 3D :: How To Colorize / Hatch Individual Faces Or Features Of Solid

Oct 20, 2013

I have been tasked with making a feature/hole chart for a complex cast & machined part.

What the quality engineers want is color-coding of the actual features to denote which machining operation they are cut in. It's intended to be a quick reference for the machine operators to identify if there has been a missed operation, broken tool, etc...

What I have done in the past with simpler parts is import the .stp file, then FLATSHOT each of the views. I HATCH (solid) the boundary of the machined feature, then add the hatch pattern to a layer for the appropriate OP number. Callouts are added to the layout in paper space, and it's released for issue.

The problem with the new parts that I am working with is that they are MUCH more complex than the others I have done (50-60 machined features, complex compound shapes and curves, etc...), so using FLATSHOT results in many, many broken boundaries and edges. This has made editing them to get HATCH to work exponentially more tedious and time consuming.

I've tried to hatch by picking internal points rather than by manually selecting boundaries, but it takes 5-10 minutes for my machine to finish "analyzing the selected data" and almost universally fails to generate a hatch. When it does work, the hatch is incomplete, due to curves and angles in the machined surface.

The above method does work, but it's causing me to neglect other projects due to the time required. Any (comparatively) simple/easy way to accomplish this directly on the 3d solid of the part to speed things up.

I am using Inventor suite 2008, but I am not well versed with Inventor or the 3d capabilities of AutoCAD. I use Mechanical Desktop 2008 for the majority of my CAD work.

Revit :: Walls With Core Faces In The Middle Of Layers

Sep 23, 2013

Is it possible to design a wall where the core boundary lines fall in the middle of a wall layer?
 
Case in point is a complex wall with an 8" foundation wall that follows a building line along its exterior face.  Above that is 3'-6" of stone veneer/airspace/sheathing/6" stud/drywall.  Above that is EIFS/sheathing/6" stud/drywall.
 
The design calls for an insulation gap between the slab and the foundation and for the top of the wall to be 6" above the first floor level.  The 6" metal stud thus overhangs the top of the foundation wall by 1" on the interior side.
 
Ideally the floor would be flush and core would simply follow the studs but the building lines (controlled by the grid) control the placement of the foundation wall and no part of the upper wall lines up with the foundation wall.  Even worse the exterior finish falls 1/2" inside the exterior of the wall below and there should be no line drawn there.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Walls Only Display Standard Wall Type?

Oct 24, 2013

I'm trying to make walls that are not just the Standard type (Brick -4 Brick -4 Furring for example) but when I make a wall of this type, it displays as a simple rectangle, instead of with the unique hatch patterns of that wall type...In the properties palette, the wall type is Standard, even though I've chosen a more specific wall type.  How do I make walls that aren't Standard?

Revit :: Exporting Curtain Wall With Panels As Walls

Feb 16, 2012

I am trying to export my floor plan to dwg file and I have curtain wall there which have panels as regular wall types. The problem is that exporting it will put those panels on the wall layer. I need them to be on curtain wall panel layer. I tried to use "Function" parameter in wall family by changing certain wall types to Retaining (since I don't use this parameter) and changed Wall/Retaining category layer to curtain panel in dwg export setup. But it seems it has no effect.I also noticed that walls inserted as panels into curtain wall do have a parameter under "Identity Data" with the name "Categorize as" where are two values - wall or panel. But this does not have any effect either since there is no category for it in export setup.

Photoshop :: Is There A Way To Apply To Zigzag Filter To Individual Lines?

Dec 8, 2005

I'm doing a project where i am trying to make a house (like a simple one you would see in a real estate ad), but with the lines being squiggly. I applied the zigzag filter to the entire thing, and it looks alright, but the whole house is distorted, not the individual lines. I want to know if I can just make the individual lines have that zigzag look, like some one scribbled it lightly. Is there a way to do that, and if so, how?

I would like to know whether it is possible (and how) to trim a wall that was generated from mass face to a roof (also generated from face mass) or/and make a horizontal hole in it. The wall itself is not straight or curved, it shifts outwards from the building from base to top (still in an elevation it looks like rectangle).

AutoCAD 2013 :: Losing Wall Blocks When Opening 2010 Arch Desktop DWG Files With 2013

Jul 14, 2012

We recently updated all of our software at my company from 2010 architectural desktop to 2013 autocad.  We do a lot of architectural work where we use the "wall" functions to draw our floorplans.  I have noticed that the walls are disappearing on some files and not on others. Or we will only be able to see the outside line of the wall, but not the interior, which results in an undesirable appearance to the floorplans.

I have also run across these error messages when opening the files, I dont know if they are related or not:

"Unhandled exception C0000005 (access violation reading 0xffffffff) at address E43AA180h"

and

"Unhandled exception C0000005 (access violation reading 0xffffffff) at address D41218AEh"

AutoCAD 2013 :: Rendering - Sun And Sky Produces Spots On Walls

Jan 16, 2013

I think I'm pretty close to understanding how to get realistic interior lighting with nice soft shadows etc.  However, I can't figure out how to get the sun & sky background to stop putting all these spots on my walls!

I previously made a version using 1000 "rays" for "Final Gather" and it looks a bit better....but it's still spotty.

How to get genuine soft shadows sans spots from the sun & sky background?

I've played with every parameter I can think of, but nothing smooths out the spots even a little bit.
