AutoCad 3D :: Glass Act Like Mirror In Rendering

Dec 11, 2012

when I was test-rendering a scene where you are supposed to be able to look into nearby rooms through glass walls. But the glass reflected the surroundings like å mirror. In some tries i could barely see some furniture in the other room, so the transparency isn't completely gone.

I use a solid glass material, at first i thought the material's reflection value was too high, but it was set on five, I tried to reduce it to 1, but the rendering came out just the same.

I have tried with different lighting options, but again... the same miserable result.

Paint.NET :: Shattered Glass / Mirror Effect

Sep 14, 2012

I'm wondering if there is any way to get a shattered glass or mirror effect. I did an internet search and came up with outdated tutorials from 4-5 years ago. Is there any modern technique (or better yet, an effect plugin) that can make this effect?

3ds Max :: Creating Etched Glass Pattern On Existing Glass Window

Mar 30, 2011

Any way to put a detailed patten into my glass window.

I have created glass with the slate material editor, used specular 100, glossiness 80 in the Blinn dropdown. Ued mental ray. Looks good, very glassy. Now I want to put a pattern on the glass, like a silouette, only that it is also translucent, part of the glass, as though it was an "etched glass" pattern on the glass. Do i make the pattern into some kind of "mask"? and lay it over existing glass?

AutoCAD Inventor :: 1:1 Mirror / Different Masses

Jan 8, 2013

In the weldment of a crane boom i have different parts. Some are identical, but (1:1) mirrored.ipt. Then I merge them in the BOM in order to set the qty on "2" in the partslist.

Here the error occurs: in the "mass" field in the parts list says "varies".

This keeps me from generating a good partslist and the total mass of the weldment maybe messed up. I personally think it has something to do with the fact that the parts are sheetmetals. i.e when I look atthe Physical properties of the folded / unfolded (of the SAME .ipt) they differ in the same way i see in the BOM.

AutoCad :: Optimize The Mirror Command

Dec 2, 2011

I use often the Mirror command and I want to optimize that. To end the Mirror command,you have to choose if you want to erase the source objects.

Usually,I don't want to erase the source objects so,this dialog it seems to be useless. What is the macro command that disable this dialog?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Mirror And Flip A Feature

Jun 11, 2013

I would like to both flip and mirror (or pattern) a feature onto the opposite side of a rectangular extrusion.

For example (assuming a rectangular solid extruded in the Z dimension), I have two counter bored holes on the top surface of the solid aligned with the X axis and I would like a copy of those holes on the bottom surface but aligned with the Y axis. If I pattern the holes rotating them 90 degrees and then attempt to mirror them, I can only select all four or the two originals. Is there any way to disassociate the rotated copies from the originals while still retaining control over their dimensions from a single sketch?

AutoCAD Inventor :: 3D Mirror Does Not Inherit Part Changes

Jul 6, 2012

i am using Autodesk Inventor 2012 to design a pipeline structure. I have a problem when mirroring a 3D sketch with applyed frames. the problem is that if after the mirror operation i edit the original sketch, the modifications are not inherited by the mirrored part of the structure. in particular when i mirror a 3D assembly and edit the original assembly the modifications are made also in the mirrored part but the program does it in a wrong way as long as the constraints are not satisfied and the position of the parts are not the same as the original assembly.

How to mirror an object and preserving the link between the original and the copy in order to make modifications to all the parts mirrored in an easy way?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Cannot Mirror Daylight Subassembly

Apr 26, 2012

Why I can't mirror the Daylight Inside ROW Subassembly? For some reason I can only place it on the right side of my assembly and in the subassembly properties there is no option to flip it to the left. In the Modify Subassembly section when it's selected the mirror option is greyed out. 

What I am trying to accomplish seems simple enough:

I have a utility easement in a drainage ditch that is 30' wide with a sewer line designed down the center, we need a very simple 10' access road on the uphill side of sewer line with 4:1 Cut/Fill slopes on either side when possible, however when the 4:1 won't catch within the easement I need it to daylight within.

At first glance the Daylight Inside ROW seems to be the appropriate subassembly for this instance but I can't get it on the left side of my road.Is there a way to set up this parameter with a different subassembly because I can get other subassemblies on the either side just fine, for example, the Cut Slope Layout Mode subaasembly works but when I build my corridor with it the slopes tie outside of the easement in several locations.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Mirror Solid?

Sep 3, 2013

This is a part from an inmported step file. The Inv assembly consists of 1047 part files.

I did the following:

Immediatley grounded all parts in the assembly.Opened the 8 (of the 1047) parts that came through as surfaces, all the rest are solid.

Found missing faces on all of them. I found the most useful tool was to create a series of section planes and do sketches with projected cut edges. Then export the sketches and open in autocad. This way I can see a simple line section view.

I set about replacing the missing faces to get the surface to a solid.After a few attempts I managed what you see below, a solid part in the browser. The part will now mirror as a new solid, but will not join. I have tried mirror as single solid, derive as single solid and combine. All Fail.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cannot Mirror A Bend In 2014

Jun 22, 2013

Inventor 2014 LT / have run into a problem in a throw-away project I"m working on.

A simple example is to create a piece of 3x5x.125 flat bar, add a sketch giving you a bend line and bend the end of it. Now try to mirror the whole thing giving you a 3x10x.125 flat bar bent on both ends.  

FWIW: My project isn't this simple - I know I can just make the FB and bend both ends ... this is an example of mirroring a bend not working.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Mirror Component

Jul 17, 2013

I am attempting to modify a component that I already have.  Part of the modifications I am attempting to do involves mirroring some of the part's features.  However, when attempting to mirror the component I receive the error message attached to this post: "Select set contains object that cannot be patterned".  I have been fooling around with this part and a few others and this appears to be an error message that comes up for mirroring or patterning (circular/rectangular) complex shaped parts.  What specifically is the issue here and how can I bypass this error message?

AutoCad :: Text To Be Displayed By Mirror Line

Jan 12, 2012

It is about mirroring text.I have MTEXT , so I want my text to be displayed by the mirror line but not to be mirrored itself so it can be readable. Imagine two twin buildings ,exactly the same but mirrored. I have one of them done , but not the other one. And they are huge. So when I try to mirror everything at the same time the text is going on its proper place but it's not readable cause it's mirrored. I know that there is an option this text to be only displayed , I've done this before , but I don't remember on which version. Now I'm using AutoCAD 2004.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Doesn't Allow To Mirror A Part As Different One

May 15, 2013

Inventor doesn't allow me to mirror a part as a different part. In normal cases, I can mirror a part within an assembly and it allows me to give a new filename. Now, it thinks it is a standard part and wants to reuse it even if I uncheck the "reuse standard content and factory parts" box. How can I turn that off? Or mirror the component?

AutoCad :: Dynamic Block Scale And Mirror?

Apr 18, 2011

On some of my blocks i have started using quiet a few parameters, Although i have noticed on the blocks that have scale and flip, it goes wrong. is there a way i can get the flip parameter to follow the center of the block after scaling?

similar with a block of a door in plan, i have got the rotate working, and the scale to fit the door opening, but if i rotate first the scale parameter don't follow the rotation of the door making it difficult to then scale the block from the using the block parameters!

AutoCAD Inventor :: Multi-Body Mirror Holes

Is there a way to get the mirrored hole to go all the way through both parts of the mirrored solid bodies.

I do realize that I can create the hole in a seperate feature, after the mirror.  It will only let you select one 'solid' during the mirror command.  Here is a simple .ipt to demonstrate the issue.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Plane And Mirror Solid?

Nov 5, 2012

create a plane and mirror a solid?

I am planning to have the following workflow:

Plane creation:

Through the z-axis and at an angle of 7,5° to the XZ-Plane

Naming the plane - Mirror Plane

Turning off the plane visibility

Mirror solid:

Add mirrored solid to the existing solid

Here is a sample ao the code...

Dim oDoc As PartDocument
oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

Dim oCol As ObjectCollection
oCol = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateObjectCollection

'This does not work...

oCol.Add(oDoc.ComponentDefinition.SurfaceBodies(1))

'Here I want to create a new plane

Dim oPlane As WorkPlane
oPlane = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.WorkPlanes(1)

Dim oMirror As MirrorFeature
oMirror = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.Features.MirrorFeatures.Add(oCol, oPlane, False, kOptimizedCompute)

I have also attached a simplified part file where the code has been copied inti the iLogic browser

AutoCAD Inventor :: Can Split A Model In Half And Then Mirror It

Dec 29, 2012

I decided to model an industrial iron caster wheel with polyurethane tread, and all went well. Tonight I added three ribs to one side of the caster wheel, which looks great, but I would rather not repeat the process on the other side because of all the fillets and such which would have to be repeated.

Is it possible to split the wheel down the middle and then mirror the side with the ribs? I saw that I can split the model with a plane, but I can't figure out how to remove the geometry on the left side of the plane.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Mirror Skeleton File For New Assembly?

Mar 12, 2012

I have used the derive component command to mirror parts many times but each time in the past I have had a desire for that part to be linked to the one I mirrored. I have a new situation where I would like to mirror a skeleton part file that I used on one assembly to make a new assembly.

For example, I used the part attached below to create a stair frame for a steel framed platform I am working on. It consists of geometry, work features, and sketches that represent the nosing line, guardrail, stair stringers, etc.

I have another stair on the other side of the platform that needs to be a mirror image of this one plus a few unique modifications. The new assembly cannot be "linked" to the other one as each of these assemblies needs to be modified independently.

How can I mirror this part to reuse work I have already done without having to create a new skeleton file from scratch? Using the derived part method, then breaking the link makes all of my sketch entities unconstrained.
