AutoCAD Architecture :: Display Glitch In Realistic With Perspective On

Dec 8, 2012

using lenovo w520 with a 2 gig quadro 1000m win7 pro, a drawing file for a small cottage started to show hiding artifacts in most planes similar to when two items are drawn in the same place.  ie, small triangles along the edges, and blotches of colour throughout the planes.  however, only one entity was in each place. 

I tried auditing the drawing, purging, rebooting, but nothing would fix this artifact issue.  xreffed drawings in this file would have the problem inside the file (ie as an xref), but the original drawings did not.  if I switched to parallel view, the problem went away.

as a fix, I copied everything to a new drawing, renamed the old one to a dead file, and renamed the new drawing to the original.  this new file does not have the problem!  is there some better, easier, faster, method to avoid this issue?  and/or, did the drawing somehow get a setting that is not readily apparent and that could be easily reset?  as a background issue, ACA died the last time I was in it, when I went out to Sketchup 8 and imported a dwg file.  ACA died after about 5 minutes of sitting on its own.  so, the file could maybe possibly have been silently corrupted by ACA when it croaked.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Perspective View Turns Isometric

Jun 21, 2011

I have Autocad Architecture 2011 and it was working perfect until Yesterday. I Repair and then Reinstall but still the same problem.

When I have a Parellel (isometric) View and transfer to perspective works well but when I exit from the orbit function everything disappear and the cursor become crazy. I push pan and appears the drawing I release pan and the drawing disappear. The same problem in a viewport. I setup the perspective view on the viewport, lock the v-port, save and close the drawing, then open the same drawing and the perspective view become Isometric.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Add Display Component To Display?

Oct 16, 2012

How do you add a display component to a display?

For example, Stairs have a stringer componet in plan display configuration but does not have a stringer componet in the Low Detail configuration.  I need the stringer to show when I go to low detail how can I add a stringer componet in low detail.

Photoshop :: Realistic 3D Rendering Converted To Less Realistic Image?

Oct 11, 2013

Was wondering if there are some ways in converting a highly realistic rendering of an object generated in a 3D program into a more illustrative, simplified, alittle less realistic version in Photoshop?

The object has plenty of silver reflections, HDRI environment map reflections, precise shadows and highlights, etc. I just want to make it look more generic  and not as polished I guess.
 
Are there filters or plugins that will do this in a plug in play method or is it more prodedural and manual?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Xref Display And Cut Planes

Aug 14, 2013

Using PN, I set up 2 levels. Level 1 at 0'-0", Level 2 at 10'-0".  I create a Level 1 construct and create my AEC model.  I then create my Level 2 construct and xref my Level 1 construct in to use as an underlay.  However, using OOTB Medium display configuration I cannot see the Level 1 xref because the Level 2 cut plane is at 3'-6" and the Level 1 construct is 10'-0" below this cut plane.  Is this the intended result?

To allow me to see my Level 1 xref in my Level 2 construct, I am required to override the global cut plane in my Level 1 construct and set my wall cut planes, for *each* wall style, to 3'-6".  After saving the Level 1 construct, I reload in the Level 2 construct, and the walls appear, as an underlay, in the Level 2 construct as desired.

Is this the only way to see one xref above or below the other?  Isnt one of the major advantages of using xrefs is as underlays for stacking levels?I dont have to override the global cut plane in all my wall styles.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Door Jambs Display In RCP

AutoCAD Architecture :: Display Theme By Zone

Jan 28, 2011

I am delving into the world of Display Themes in autocad architecture for the first time. What I am trying to do is apply a display them to a viewport that colour all spaces according to the zone to which they are attached.

I have made a generic space which I have used for all rooms.  I have attached those spaces to various zones (i.e. Accounting and Finance, Engineering, Facilities etc.)

I am now trying to create a display theme that will color each zone accordingly.  I am trying to do this by setting each theme rule to be;

propertyset definition = zone, property = name, condition = equal to, value = Accounting and Finance (etc.), operator = and.

I do this and nothing happens to the spaces.  I have tried experimenting with other property sets attached to the spaces and different properties (ie space base area etc) and it works fine.  So i'm pretty sure its just a case of finding the correct zone property to work with.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Display Property In Live Section?

Apr 13, 2012

I've created a Live Section Cut. I want to change the hatching in the wall sections. I looked at the Display Property of the Wall Style, but the Model Display is bold, not the Section Display. The Section display has options for Hatching, etc., but the Model Display does not...Do I need to edit the Material assigned to that wall?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Display Configuration In View Files

May 18, 2012

I have a project of a residential building, made in ADT2011. The building has 17 levels. Levels from 2nd to 17th are identical. They created as an element linked to constructs. The other levels created as constructs.

I also have different view files for elevations, sections and perspectives.

The problem is that I can not control display configuration of objects in view files. The thing that I need is to turn off balconies' glasses in curtain walls of the elevation view files (To see what is behind the glass in 2d elevations). Now to achieve it, I have to turn off glasses in the original element file. But in that case the glass disappears also in plans, sections and perspective views, where I need it.

The question is: Can I control the visibility of the default infills for curtain walls independently for different view files?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Field To Display Object Description

Dec 5, 2013

I have recently started using FIELDS in our drawings. I must say, they are very powerful.

This is what I would like to accomplish but have not been able to do it on my own.

I want to be able to add text/description to a block, then invoke that text/description with a leader. For instance, if I have a block of a 6x6 post w/ a square, I want to be able to insert the block, do a leader and invoke the custom description "P.T. 6x6 POST W/ CONC. FOOTING"

AutoCAD Architecture :: 2014 Spaces Display Representations

Sep 30, 2013

I have a file with several Space Styles.  As I progress on the drawings I would like to modify some of the display properties, primarily color of the fill.  I would think I could set the overall appearance of each Space Style in one location and then adjust elements of various display representations.  In my case have a red hatch for a space style but in one display rep it would be solid and in another it would be a diagonal hatch. 

As I see it, if I wish to modify the color I have to go into each display rep and adjust the color of the base hatch and click on the Style Override check box.  It seems like duplicative work.  Is there another method of setting the color of each Space Style so that it shows the same in all display reps?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Door Display Single Line

Feb 4, 2012

Is there any to get the single line display into the medium or medium low rep by object? I see the only place to get it is to use the High Detail rep by object. Normally in a high detail would you not want a double line for doors? and use a single line for concept in the medium low? I would like to see the ability to have the single door in all display reps by object

AutoCAD Architecture :: Display Config And Vanilla Objects

Sep 15, 2011

The best way to have normal AutoCAD objects (lines, plines, arcs) adhere to the Display Configurations.

My original idea was to contain all of the 'vanilla linework' in one Multi-View Block per Construct, thereby enabling me to set the Display Properties for that MVB and have the linework show/hide depending on my Display Config. I end up having to 'edit block in-place' if I want to change anything, which seems to work but there has got to be a better way.

My only other idea was to somehow link Layer Filters (which I'm unfamiliar with, and probably using the wrong term) to the Display Configs so that depending on the current Config, certain layers would be frozen/thawed.  This seems like the way to do it, but it is not obvious to me how I might be able to achieve this through the Display Manager.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Material Definition Display Components

Feb 25, 2013

I want to change the color of a material definition in 2d wireframe (plan view).  For example, for walls, when the mat. def. is checked in the wall display props, the hatching shows orange->color 30.

When I look at one of the materials listed for said wall, in style manager, for that display component, there are diplay components similar to an object format, but in the mat. def. the components control the color (see attached example).

Now is there a "master setting" to change them - I want to change say the plan linework or section hatch to a different color to match our layer color standards or do I have to go into every since display rep. for every single mat. definition and change them or is there a way I can do it once & all will change?

The out of the box objects are great but what I am worried about is that those colors that are given don't work well with our office standard, esp. if we go back to old projects.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Doors / Windows And Openings Fail To Display In 3d Model?

Mar 6, 2012

Okay so to start with I have a building with 2 staircores. Everything is drawn in 3d and I have drawn the 2 staircores as elements and subsequently Xrefed these elements into the relevant constructs and subsequently a 3D model view.

When I view the elements as a live drawing (ie. when I open the individual elements) the drawing views okay in plan and in 3D wireframe, hidden mode etc... no problem so far!

When the drawing is Xrefed into a construct and subsequently a 3D model all of the windows and doors disappear... but in 3d only - ie. viewed in plan mode they are fine. I have checked the display configurations in the constructs and views and they are all set to display these objects in the medium detail and high detail for the model and plan modes.

In 3d wireframe mode the windows and doors can be seen within the wall but the opening which they should create is non-existent!This occurs in teh construct and view drawings.

Here's the catch.... I have a 'West Staircore' and and 'East Staircore'. Both are drawn as individual elements. The West staircore is giving trouble, but the East is perfect. They were both set up using the same DWT file which means that the default display configuration settings should be identical.This is backed up by the fact that they view correctly in the live element drawings.

When they are both Xrefed into the same construct, one is fine and the other will not display in the 3D model!
