AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating Smooth TIN Surface
Oct 1, 2012Been chatting with an architect in my office, and he was asking me if we could make our TIN surfaces smooth. I cannot find a way, would it take a 3rd party program? He wants it like the image i attached. How to achieve this with a TIN surface?

3ds Max :: Lighting Facets On Smooth Surface?
Feb 28, 2012basically the issue is the lighting relics (little triangles) inside the sphere that is in the middle of the scene at this frame. I've masked off the rest of the frame as this is a current job so I'm not sure if I can post it fully. The animation basically shows a closed sphere which animates towards the camera and opens to reveal whatever is inside, which then animates, hence the use of the Sky Portal, to brighten up the inside of the sphere once it's so close.
The sphere was originally a sphere created in Max with pretty high settings, smooth modifier added and since then it's been converted to an Editable Poly for reasons I can't remember (I'm 300 hours into this project). I'm not in a position to mess with the geometry now unless it's absolutely necessary.
I've been trying to set up the Final Gather and GI to get a nice smooth surface, I don't usually use GI at all, just FG which may be an issue in itself, my research this morning suggested I should turn on GI... but anyway - here's the scene:
Using Mental Ray
One Daylight system, one Sky Portal at point of camera, facing the sphere, no other lights
Render Frame Dialog settings:
Image Precision = Medium (min 1/4 max 4)
Soft Shadows = 1x Default
Glossy Reflections = 1x Default
Glossy Refractions Precision = 0.75x -Medium
Final Gather Precision = High
Max. Reflections = 4
Max Refractions = 6
Geometry Reuse Off
FG Reuse Off
Production (not Draft)
I've attached an image showing the Render Setup Dialog settings.

GIMP :: How To Make Textured Surface In Photo Look Smooth
Nov 15, 2012I want to modify a photo of an embroidered patch of my club's logo to make the texture appear simply smooth, not embroidered. Unfortunately, we have lost the original artwork that was used to make the embroidered patch, but we have nice sharp photos of the patch itself. The photos are in both GIF and JPEG format.
I found Ofnuts' reply about how to [undefined=undefined]add texture, but I want to do opposite.
Is there a way to do that? And is it possible to "de-texturize" the entire patch, or would it be necessary to do each color separately?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Curved Surface - How To Increase Volume Of Surface At Certain Points Only
Apr 10, 2013how I can add more volume to curved object surface? Say for example I have a plastic cup.You can think of this as cylinder object ,which was the shelled out using the shell tool and then had its base sealed.
Now at certain parts, I would like to increase the thickness and then blend it the rest of the surface(may be chamfer its edges) .
At certain parts on curved surface I would like to add an extra mm, I think if the surface was flat I would just sketch the shape, then extrude it by few mm and smooth the edges by doing a chamfer
But how can this be done on surface that is curved? Or multi curved for edges?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Ribs On Curved Surface / Trimming To Complex Surface
Feb 28, 2013I'm designing a press for a skateboard similar to: Rib Press
I have the board modeled: (see attached)
Now what i want to do is generate those ribs as seen in the picture.
I tried creating a block that intersected with the board and tried to split the rib at the surface, but to no avail. I think the issue has something to do with the curve of the board in two directions, but i can't seem to get it right.
if you are having trouble visualizing what i'm asking about, look at this. I want to be able to figure out the exact shape of those center ribs to print and eventually cut out of wood.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Convert Surface To Solid Model / Turn Off Yellow Edges In Surface Model
Mar 4, 2008We received a surface model from a vendor that I have patched up as best I can, it still has one hole that I can find that I haven't been able to fill. Ideally we would like to have a solid model, but I'm running out of time to get this done and the surface model we have would be good enough for our purposes IF I can get the yellow surface tangent lines to turn off or change their color to black.
I've attached a jpg of the surface model with the yellow lines and uploaded the model here: [URL].....

AutoCAD Inventor :: Making Smooth 3D Curvy Figure
May 9, 2012I am taking a chair that i have and trying to make a 3d model of it on Inventor.

I attached pictures of the chair to this message if that works.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Apply Smooth On Sheet Metal Parts?
Oct 1, 2012Before using Inventor I used Mechanical Desktop 6 and found the sheet metal functions (AutoSm) to be fairly simple. Since switching over small tasks can now be a nightmare! The main problem I face is exporting flat patterns to dxf format. We use a CNC Turret punch so splined corners on parts are a no-no due to the number of hits required, AutoSM solved this with the 'Apply Smooth' function which created crisp corners suitable for punching. Is there any simlar function available on Inventor? At the minute I either have to apply multiple cut and extrusions to the flat pattern or else 2D modify the dxf file.

Jul 18, 2012I have a drawing that was made using a CMM arm, so the drawing consists of thousands of tiny lines which make up the perimeter of the part. I'm looking to import this dwg file into Inventor in order to make a sheet metal part and eventually a flat layout of it.
The main thing I'm looking to do is "smooth" out the profile, hopefully without having to redraw the part with the dwg drawing as a template. Is there anyway to acomplish what I'm looking to do? I've attached a sample of the dwg.

Aug 13, 2013I was watching on of the "Sales" videos on Autodesk.com. I saw them extruding a part surface to another surface of an imported part. I have a need to do this. When I try to extrude my part, I cant pick the surface that I need it to go to.
The video I am watching is here. Its titled "Native Translators". They show the surface being extruded at about the 0:53 mark.
The problem that I have is while working in the assembly, I double click on my part to edit it in the assembly. Next I chose Extrude and "To Next", but I am unable to pick the surface I need it to go to. The surface is in another part that is in the assembly. The part I am trying to extrude is adaptive, like in the video.
I did notice that in the video, when they pick the "to Next", the add/cut/intersect is greyed out.

The only thing in the top left of dialogue box is "lighting." Is there another step that the article misses, or is there another way for me to create a surface from a jpeg?

I want to modify it so it turns of all surface bodies instead. I use skeleton modelling where i only want to keep the solids visible and not the surfaces. When I run this iLogic rule all solids get turned off instead of surface bodies.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Transitional Constraint Between Pin And Surface
Apr 16, 2013I have a question regarding a transitional constraint between a pin and a surface within an adaptive assembly.
I would like the pin and the surface to be transitional only when the two parts "interfere" with each other.
At the moment with the example attached part A is remaining tangent to part B, restricting the necessary movement of part B to function properly in the mechanism.
In simplified terms I need part B to be able to break free of the "transitional constraint" of part A under certain movement conditions within the mechanism.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: How To Make Surface From Equation
Nov 26, 2013I need to make a model of saddle surface. The surface is given by equation z = y^2 - x^2, and I must have some thickness - It will be printed on 3D printer.
I have Inventor 2014 and I dont see possibility of making the surface directly in Inventor. Is there any trick for that?
I'm afraid I cannot use solution as stated here Equation-driven surface , because saddle surface looks like this hyperbolic paraboloid .
I tried this solution: I made 3D surface in Matlab, exported it in .stl and opened in Inventor - but this only makes the surface with no thickness. Functions extrude, loft require 2D sketch.
