I use Autocad 2011 for my renderings. You can use the sun and sky & Illuminations settings. It works just fine.
BUT....
I want some clouds in the sky, and when i choose for background, there's no sun! So who knows/wants to find out, how to create hem both!?
I am making revision clouds on some record drawings. They come out all peachy, but when I save the file and reopen it, all of the wonderful little clouds change to jagged straight lines.

I want to make a hyperlink into a revison cloud for a DOC file, but I not found the Revision Cloud category in Project Parameters/Parameter Properties dialog.
I search for this solution because I don't know the limit size of the parameter Comments. I wish add many comments on the project and these can have texts and images, so I choosed put comments in a DOC file.
Is there a way to algorithmically create (no painting or brushes) Nebulae / Wispy Clouds effects in Photoshop. Random clouds and Difference Clouds filters can certainly create interesting patterns, but they are miles away from authentically looking clouds or nebulae.
On the other hand several fractal generators can do the trick - and XenoDream and Apohysis in particular can create photo-realistic nebulae and clouds, but doing it straight in Photoshop would be a good skill to have.

I have csv file of co ordinates (x,y,z) I surveyed, I have to produce progress drawings showing stockpiles, boundary etc. , which I can do easily enough by uploading the co ordinates. I would like to include contour lines in the drawing but how to go about it. I have spent a while searching online & I'm even more confused, most discussions refer to TINs and triangulation but not sure how to go about it. I have a survey of the site survey csv file prior to any works carried out & that is what i would like to base my contour lines on. The site is relatively flat, about 4 acres in size, relatively even rectangle shape with fall of 200mm from north to south & fall of 2.5m from east to west.

I am using the code from Introducing the AutoCAD® Mechanical API, Wayne Brill – Autodesk URL....While this code interactively selects the point and the line (dimension in my case), I don't want to use interaction. Instead I have lisp variable.
I have used the vlax.cls to convert the point to a variant and handle to an object. (I could use Users variables instead with more complex code). This works well but the code fails at the line:
oSurfSymbol.AttachGeometry dimHor, pt
This is because the method requires IMcadLine object I have IAcadLine2 object

I just noticed that 2013 can import point clouds; this is great news.
There is precious little documentation on this feature. I can happily index and attach my points (the scaling seems off...even though I set it to 1.0...) but I cannot seem to do much with the points beyond this. Obviously, I would like to make a surface but the Surface tools don't seem to operate on these points. There were no options during import, unlike other point imports, to make them show as points, splines, surface.
What can I do with these data?
I can't seem to get this working in 2011... the bounding box for the point cloud is all that shows up. How to get a good 3dDWF or 3D PDF of a point cloud out of c3D?

How to add in revision clouds in Inventor 2014? I want to draw in drwaings revision clouds.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWe are using AutoCAD 2014 and one of the biggest selling points was its improved point cloud functionality. I have been inserting a point cloud with RGB color but when it comes in, I get no color. The preview window show it in color, the details say YES that color is attached but all I get is a plain white point cloud. The Visualization panel is lit up and I can change from scan color to intensity and back. It looks like it is working but I get zero change to my cloud.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to convert many xyz files, representing point clouds, to the isd files. I have found some dll's dealing with point clouds' objects (see bellow), however I could not find any supporting documentation.
Some sample code in VB.NET or direct me to some useful resources?
These dll's are, in my opinion, related to Point Clouds:
AcDbPointCloudDbxRes.dll
AcDbPointCloudRes.dll
AcMapPointCloudRes.dll
AcRevCloudRes.dll
AeccPointCloudEnu.dll
AeccUiMgrPointCloudEnu.dll
AeccUiPointCloudEnu.dll

We'll get a inventor model of the huge cover . And we need to do a cross check old model to new scanned point clouds.
Inventor is not able to view point clouds, so the idea is to import inventor model to autocad . Do a cross check to point cloud notice the changes and put them into the inventor model . Move the flanges in the correct position.
This is the client mail.
iam not understanding this mail. Presently iam using autodesk inventor 2012 .
what is point clouds?
i know little bit of point clouds.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAlthough we're in Architecture 2012, I've gotten rid of the Windows ribbons and used MENULOAD to bring back the toolbars I am most efficient with. Using the revision cloud button on the DRAW toolbar, I draw the clouds in paperspace like I always have. The arcs of my clouds now flip back and forth so that they are sometimes correct and sometimes inside out. I don't know when this started (with the upgrade to 2012? out of the blue?), but it's been going on for a while and it happens whether I draw clouds clock-wise or counter clock-wise.
There used to be an option where you could "flip" the cloud to change the arc "direction" and now it seems to do it automatically. No matter how slowly I draw a cloud, I often end up having to erase and redraw (and redraw, and redraw). I've searched but I can't find any mention of changing the orientation or direction of the arcs on a revision cloud.
Is this a feature, a setting or a bug in my system and is there any way to make it go away?
I have a small app to create, related to point clouds.
I know VisualLISP pretty well, definitely well enough to accomplish the task.but...I can't figure out how to retrieve information on the point cloud's clipbox using lisp.
I know a little VB.NET; I took a one-semester class at the JC, two years ago. It's going to take time for me to get ramped up enough with VB to do this job, so I don't really want you to tell me the only way to get to the clipbox is through vb.
way to retrieve and modify a point cloud's clipbox with VisualLISP?
I am lucky enough to have access to a developer version of the recent Xbox One Kinect hardware. Naturally there is currently no software on the market that allows point clouds/mesh's to be obtained using the scanner within the Kinect.
I have seen that AutoCAD has been utilised to achieve this and wondered if there is any literature or instructions as to how this is achieved? Is there a plugin required that is able to control the Kinect V2 and output point cloud data from scans?
what the file size limit is for importing point clouds into Inventor? Or is that a how long is a piece of string question that depends on computer ability?
