View 1 RepliesI am animating with mocap and biped in Max. A character that is walking, the mocap I have is a straight line. Is there a way in the mixer to have the characters walk curve without having a clip of a curved walk?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have rigged a character and made it into a character set in which i have locked the scaling attribute , I have then saved this file. I have then referenced this file and and have done a walk cycle animation and saved this file. I have then realised that I needed the scaling attribute when I have added other parts of my scene. Is there a way to unlock the scaling attribute in my walk cycle animation file or will i have to go back and change it in the rigged file, create a new character set and do the walk cycle animation again?

After that when i play the whole movie,the movie will not go smoothly its getting jerks.what the wrong i am doing.i tried with 15 frames per sec and 30 frames per sec.

It seems like an incredible waste of time to sit and try to animate every single step the model takes. Also, I want the steps to be persistent. I don't want some to be larger and some to be smaller. I feel like there should be a better way of getting my character across the screen, I just don't know how to do it.

Is there a way to give this cycle a path to follow so it can walk along this path and take curves and those things?
I'm looking around the net, but I don't seem to be able to find anything, the only thing i was able to think of is the path contraint, but, if i'm right, it won't respect the cycle translation, and i can use it without translation but it will be hard to avoid the sliding feet problem.
I wanted to make a walk cycle animation, How to move a character up and down without affecting the feet position?
View 1 Replies View Relatedi have been using the drivenTime node to create walkcycles that follow motion path curves where the out time is connected to some attribute via a unitToTimeCOnversion node.in previous version of Maya.
When i try to connect anything to the Out Time of new drivenTime node the connection never works, not even keyframes?
is there a fix or workaround for this?
I'm playing around with the walk and fly functions. I'm able to navigate around the model, but if I stand in a room the zoom is much to great. It's like I'm looking around the room through binoculars.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I use the walk command, the values making up the target indicator are usually not the way I want them to be. The target is too far away, too wide FOV etc. Because of this I have to go in and adjust these values every time.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to create sections from my 3D model that would directly associate the layers cut from the model. In other words, I would like the line work in the section to be on the same layer as entities in model.

However, for each file attached the levels of the project from ACA are not recognized in MAX - all the levels are stacked ontop of eachother in the same place. I did not see an option in the presets for MAX to understand this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am looking for furniture content for renderings. I find some in Autodesk Seek. Most of the items are autocad 3d . It looks like they are built with surfaces. I want to make them usuable in 3d models in Autocad for architecture. I would like them to be easily accessible from the tool palletes. They seem similar to the ones that come from Archidigm. How do I drag and drop these 3d models into the tool pallette - I tried to first convert them into a blcok , but that did not work. Where can I find good furniture content, ready to drop into tool palllettes for ACA?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am creating a project with multiple level in ACA 2014. Set up levels like we always have but now we have a project where the lowest level is below 0. When I generate a model or elevations, the model is created with the lowest level inserted at z=0, not the real level.
After I experimented, if you create a model with say level 1 & 2 not included, it creates the model with level 2 @ z=0 ?
I am trying to do some minor animation with a shaded solid model. I have tried mslide and a script... this make s very jerky, flashing animation.
I tried a lisp routine to move the object in small increments, again the motion is very flashy and slow, as it appears to struggle perhaps with the shading.
I noticed doing a move command, and moving the same object manually, dragging the object around the screen with a mouse makes for pretty smooth motion. Way better than what I was doing.... Is there a way to do this programatically?
I'm using ACA 2013.
While in a view I make a "New Model Space View". After I tag this MSV it seems that being able to see the border of each MSV that is in my view dwg would be a useful thing. Is there anyway to turn this boundary on?
Is it possible to create a terrain model in Architecture 2010? If so, how do go about doing it?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have a bit of an urgent situation at work. Namely we have stepped over from standard AutoCAD 2010 to AutoCAD Architectural suit 2012.
The situation is as such that if we set our search path to our ctb and our dwt (nothing else no other search path changes) our dwt templates load as being visibly black/white all the colour information is wrong.
Upon closer inspection of elements draw in the dwt for example a line though it still displays as being physically black/ white the properties menu declares it as being the colour we need it to be for example red. We have double-checked in our plot dialogue box if the ctb is present and its presence is confirmed. The peculiarity is though if we try and locate it using our (findfile “CTB\NAME\AND\PATH” method the command prompt returns nil meaning as far as I have come to understand as missing/ not loaded/ not found. A line the properties menu states the plot style is set to ByColor and not by the specific CTB file as when the same line is selected in AutoCAD 2010.
We have quite an extensive customisation comprising almost of every kind of file AutoCAD has put up for user customisability so my instinct was that something within the whole customisation was causing our issue.
We have since rid of all customisations and reset the profile using AutoCAD and as double backup also via the registry keys, we also have deleted our corresponding AutoCAD application folder in the hope of eliminating some nasty that may of stayed behind.
We have no plug-ins that cannot be the problem. Further experimentation shows that if we create a search path using the following lisp the colours are displayed right for the duration of the AutoCAD session but upon restarting AutoCAD the colours again become black/ and white.
When entities such as the lines are moved the items being moved flicker across the screen in their correct colour, once placed the image instantly shows as being black/ white again.
As final symptom our model space colour seems to be the only thing effected, our layout tabs are fine however we don’t work in layouts but rather in model space.
I have also as last used the vars2src command in AutoCAD 2010 and imported the variable settings into AutoCAD architectural suit 2012 hoping that the issue was a variable setting overlooked, to no avail though. Neither is our desktop icon enabled with any switches such as profiles.
I'm using project navigator and I want to use the intelligent title marks created by the Mode Space View drawing that is created when I use the Detail Boundary.
I have purchased a 5 hour block of support time on this and after 4 days they have not found a result for me and are looking to developers at this point.
My issue is this. I xref in the floor plan that I want to use to make some enlarged floor plan details out of. I have a custom high detail display configuration set for this view drawing. I use the detial boundary tool that adds the detail boundary and tag and then created my model space view with an intelligent titlemark that will then reflect the number and sheet when inserted into a sheet drawing.
The problem is trying to get this MSV to reflect what I see on the floor plan. As of now it just brings in a enlarged detail of the area but it's all the same color with no hatch detail.
I can change the result of what I get by selecting the “model space view” that I created and then going to properties and changing the “display controlled by” on the display tab of the properties of that object. If I change that to “Drawing default setting” then the result is set to whatever the drawing default settings are. It looks like the “default settings” for a 2D Section/Elevation object are “General” Display Representations.
how to get my custom “Bew_High Detail” display representation to be the default Display Representation of the “2D Section/Elevation” object then I think I would get my desired results.
We have had a reoccuring problem in autocad architecture 2012 where model space views can no longer be dragged into a sheet. It just shows a circular cancel icon.
The sheets are set up fine and it may even have several MSVs already in place then out of no where the ability is lost. We have tried allt he usual fixes (checked the layers, restored the .bak file, tried on other computers, installed service packs) but it seems once the file is "poisoned" the only fix is to recreate the sheet and delete the old one. Not a terrible solution but it is not efficient.
We have a dozen computers all with acad architecture 2012 and it seems to happen on random computers and we can't pinpoint any specific differences between them.
We did not have this problem with Autocad architecture 2009.
It could be something with the project database.
The text that I Entered in model page, can't show in layout page. How to solve
attached file.
I have 2011 adt and was asked some questions about the model tabs.
Can we stack the model tabs? If so, how? Can we color code the model tabs?
We experienced a problem. we have a drawing file, is about 1.6meg not big. while working in model space doing some 3D work, all of a sudden all the objects dissapear except for some text. all layers are on and thawed. we regen all, zoom all. weird thing is when we go into the paper space tabs everything shows up. so all the data is there some place but cant find it in model space.
there are no xrefs in the drawings and i had cleaned all the multiple copies out before to keep the file size down and more workable. this is happening on two machines. other drawings are fine.
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!
Trying to finish someone else's half finished project done in acad 2007. I'm working in Architecture 2009. I just opened a sheet template, xreffed the file into a viewport, and whenever I switch from model to paper space or back I get this message-
Cannot find the resource string number 25900 in resource AecXDisplayPropsData50-
We're testing some new machines running Windows 7 64-bit with both AutoCAD Architecture 2011 and 2012 64-bit installed.
When dragging and dropping a model space view onto a sheet, instead of the folder with paperclip symbol, we're getting a circle with a line through it prohibited symbol. This only occurs when our project files are on our network. When we use them on a local machine this does not occur.
We cannot drag and drop onto new sheets either.

We are running on a Novell Linux Open Enterprise Server network. We previously had a problem with not being able to open any sheets if another drawing was open, which we resolved by disabling Novell File Caching. We are also now experiencing unhandled e06d7363h exception errors with any type of file access in the Project Navigator. This crashing also does not occur when the files are on the local machine.
I have just started working with Architecture 2011, so perhaps there is some strange issue at work here, but I haven't come across it previous releases. Whenever I switch from model tab (in 2D wireframe) to a layout tab and then back to model space, the visual style automatically switches itself to "Wireframe" or "3D Parallel Project", instead staying 2D Wireframe. It is highly annoying as I have to hit the 2D Wireframe button on the Visual Style Menu everytime a switch. This also occurs everytime a hit the Save button. It won't stay put in the visual style that it should.

I found a free rigged dog model for Maya [URL] .... that will fit my story perfectly, but I want to be able to change some of the geometry of the model, like modifying the ears and tail. But I can't seem to figure out how to do that! I'm able to select parts of the dog and move it around, but I don't know how to actually change the model itself. And if I do so, will it mess up the rigging? How do I go about editing this model?
