AutoCad 3D :: Import Assembly And Earth / Grass Materials?
Jul 30, 2012
I am working on modeling a residential house and I have been progressive positively on this project except that I now have to include earth and grass materials not available on the Material Browser of Autocad and also I want to draw 3D windows in Inventor that I would want to use effectively in the architectural drawing in Autocad. Is there a way to safely export the Inventor Assembly without losing the colors and rendering?

Is ther a setting I am missing? In GE the ground elevation is reported as 45, but on import (drawing set to state plane) the elevation is 15?

I am trying to import a surface and Image from Google Earth. Basically my steps are as follows:
start GE and C3D find area that I need on GE and zoom in under C3D, insert GE Image and Surface (then it goes straight into select point, and rotation)
Like most discussions i've read.., the import slows down at 49%, and then it chugs for hours if I let it. So i have to cut the cord and re-start both programs.
I saw in a discussion that there are settings that we can change the rows and columns to something like 70x70.
however.... I cannot find where to update this. I typed importgesurface, and clicked on the ribbon as well..., then tried to right click, but it does not take me to the settings. I also figured that I might have to run C3d as admin, but no luck either.
find these settings so I can change them to import a surface and image that is about 15acres?

I just upgraded my entire department to 2013 from 2008. We can no longer import aerial images from Google Earth, publish KMLs or export generic Microstation design files (we have to choose from V7 & V8.)
I can't beleive this "upgrade" actually downgraded our functionality as a department. We can no longer provide sevices to those requiring these file formats and will be forced to discontinue the use of CAD for many of our projects.

I have attached a screen shot. I created this base plate as A572-50 steel and it is displayed as galvanized. The only thing on this assembly that is from the content center are the bolted connections and a few pieces of A53 pipe that is not shown in the image. All of the other parts and sub- assembly's and their parts are created with their appropriate grade of steel and also displayed as Galvanized. When they are place into the same assembly their materials and display are exactly like they are on the part level itself.
When I place the base plate from my project the initial preview of the the part shows it to be as it is in the part itself, A572-50 and galvanized. The problem comes when you actually drop it in the assembly. The material of the part is reverted to the Steel, Galvanized and is displayed as Generic. This causes a problem in my BOM and then some.

Does a process for importing INDIVIDUAL materials (saved as some_material.styxml) that had been exported from Inventor 2011 or 2012 into the 2013 Inventor Material Library?
I am not asking about converting the old libraries -- I know how to do that -- these are materials that were created for one-time (supposedly) use and exported from the 2012 Inventor file, but never saved to the older Inventor styles libraries. Operation was EASY in 2012 -- click the "Import" button on the styles manager dialog box.
No such button on the new materilas library manager, or am I missing something?
Only way I have been able to do this is create a 2102 part, import the STYXML file, apply the material to the 2012 part, then save the part & open it in 2013 & let 2013 import the style. Once the material style has been imported this way, it can be added to the Inventor Material Library, but this is a really nutty workaround that requires Inventor 2102 to be available...

When I merge geometry into a scene that is already using the same materials, it prompts me what I want to do. I always select "Use scene materials"...however, whenever I look at the slate, it shows duplicates all over the place. To keep mat library optimized becomes a task when you are dealing with a lot of materials.
Why does MAX not listen to me when I tell it to use the scene materials that have matching names?

One of our client facing problems that Autodesk 3ds max 2011-64 bit does not show the option to import “.mov” file as bitmap map in materials and also not render in “.mov” format whereas Autodesk 3ds max 2011-32 bit does.
They had installed only Autodesk 3ds max 2011 64 bit only on their machine and don’t want to install it’s 32 bit version.

I am trying to import a assembly from Solidworks. I start by selecting the file and then opening it. Autocad notifies me that the file is ready. I click on the path and it cancels out. I then try in insert the block and nothing. Is there a easier way to convert a assembly from Solidworks to Autocad?

When trying to import a NX 7.5 assembly file into inventor, there is a lot of duplication of parts, missing parts, and scattering of other parts. Is there a way to successfully import an assembly from NX to inventor, if so does it include all the original sketches and feature history that created the parts, or is that not possible?

Someone has given me a .wire file from Alias. I fired up a new assembly in Inventor but it imported into a part. There are many parts to this design, and I'd rather have them as separate parts. However what I have now is one part with many surfaces (which I can turn on or off). Any tips for bringing it in differently? Maybe I can derive some parts out from my existing part which has about 20 surfaces (which should be parts)?

I am trying to acheive copying parameter from one part/assembly to another part/assembly document and this is what i came out with:
Private Sub CopyParamToTarget(SourceFile As String, TargetFile As String, ByRef ParamList As ListBox) 'Declares the variables to be used in this sub Dim d_target As Inventor.Document = Nothing, d_source As Inventor.Document = Nothing Dim t_transaction
[Code]....
I did another version for Inventor VBA in which is quite similar to this length as well . . .
Tried using ComponentDefinition instead but it does not have access to the Parameters list.

I have modelled some grass using peter guthrie method, which is in a word to model a grass blade and scatter it. Now my problem is it works good for the foreground but doing it in the background means a LOT of polys (~20 million polys) and mental ray was not too happy about it
So I was wondering if I could make a texture out of some area of the foreground and use that in the background (see image). Do you think that is doable...? I have not found a tutorial that renders an object (my grass blades, very high poly) into a texture for another object (the plane under them) and I don't really know where to start.

I am running CS5 and would like to remove a shadow on the grass. The photo is attached and the shadow is to the lower right of the photo (this was the handler's arm).
I've tried the clone tool but it didn't look realistic, tried content aware -- that didn't work either. Tried selecting and using the hue/sat slider to lighten it -- that was terrible. I am going to try a quick mask and see if that will work.

I'm teaching a graphic design class and to get the students ready to do design work I am having them do the grass tutorial that you can find online, it was used a lot under CS3. We are using CS5.
Okay so on this tutorial we get to the Step 16, using Macs btw, and we are stumped. Putting a shadow, I've tried this myself, thing is the shadow needs to have the same bumpy edge that the grass image does.

I have already turned the sky blue with some clouds but now I would like to make the dead grass green. The image is ultimately going to be turned into a painting using photoshop but I want the image exactly the way I want it before I convert it.

some outdoor pics includes burnt out or yellowing grass. I wish to make the grass greener or even the water more blue. So far I have been utilizing the snapshots and history brush along with either the levels or curves commands. One problem is the edited area shows an abrupt ending with no continuity to the rest of pic. Additionally, when I do go outside or beyond my intended area with the history brush, what recourse do I have? So far my only known option is to retreat via the history states.

I made a patch of grass moving yesterday using this tutorial (URL....) it worked perfectly and I got a test render out yesterday, today I open up the file and the grass does not move with the hair follicles and I do not know why, nothing has been changed since the render.
Opened up a new scene, tried going through the steps again and it does not work.
