If I am working on a 3D model and viewing it in 2d wireframemode, it will automatically switch to 3D wire frame view after I save it. This changesthe background colors and switches to a perspective view. How I can maintain the current view mode during a save?

CIvil 3D 2013 / My drawing opens in layout view and all model objects are appropriately coloured by layer. If I hit plot at this point, my colour dependent .ctb file works fine. However, once I swtich to model view, all my linework turns white and if I switch back to Layout view it remains white and plots each line with the weight assigned to the colour white.

Is there a way that you can draw around that viewport and then take that into model space and paste it in the same place so now you have the same area located in both views?
At the moment I need to try and work out where the view is by drawing a rectangle around the correct area of the building and this is time consuming.
I could then trim/delete everything else outside that box.

And also when i try to add models from other acad files i can't zoom them in either. Tsk darn it.
I can zoom them but the zooming that i get in the first place is not the same. Like it skips from zooming....like before it was a 1:1 zoom but when it save or add models from other acad files boom it becomes. 1:5 sometimes just a couple of scrolls it give me the background color only. i can't see my model boom!
Every time I save my drawing or it does an Autosave I get the message "Regenerating model" and have to wait 30 seconds for everything to regenerate. There is no reason it needs to do this, is there some way I can turn it off?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI used the industry model template for the North American electric grid, thinking it would link the data I saw on the tutorials. I am pretty sure that I need to find industry models for the electric grid now that I can't seem to get the conductors to show up on my map. Is that right? where I can find an industry model of the electric grid around Lake Michigan?
If I cannot find an industry model (a database?), can I just switch workspace to "Planning and Analysis" and import the models I have (images, West side of lake only) and attempt to manipulate those (while keeping everything I have)?
I have lost much work repeatedly upon saving. Do I always have to "check in" my data before saving?
Is there an easier way to match-up roster images (that aren't GEOTiffs) to shape files (that have a coordinate system) rather than using "scale," "rotate" and "move"? I didn't have luck with the "pick" option and monkeying around with manual manipulation didn't match up well. Perhaps there is a way to manipulate points on an image?
I got a 3D model from a building but somehow it is not solid, you can "see trough the walls" (as in image attached). I want to create a plan view for each floor and a side view from this 3d model.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSome time ago, I used Adobe Reader (the basic one) to view and rotate a 3D model from Autocad. Yes, I know that I can export a Revit model into a DWFX and view it in Design Review, but that requires a ferr Design Review download. Some clients don't have administrator rights, are too lazy, don't have the computer savy to install, etc..., so a PDF 3D model would be nice.

I have Adobe X Pro where I can enable this if Revit and CAD have the ability to print a 3D PDF.
As the layout tabs I'd like to have a multiple model-views tabs.
I can use layouts tabs, I can change the background color to same as model tab and all its ok.
However I'm unable to set scale to have text and annotation with a "human" size (that is, thinking on my screen and not on the paper).
Maybe this is a newbie question but I'm lost....
What is what I must to set ? I dont want to use layout to print, but to view my drawing with custom layer settings.

IDW views:
Regarding a view created from a part that is not on an orthographic plane in the model:
After placing a standard idw view from a model that's on a weird angle to the construction plane, I have to "rotate" it, and then create another projected view from that view, and then rotate the new view, and create a projected view from that 2nd view, and then rotate that 3rd view, in order to get an orthographic view into the drawing.
BUT, when the model changes, the main view skews, and is therefore not orthographic any longer.
When that happens, the program forces me to start from scratch, and create a new main view, and then basically re-draw the entire idw sheet. This is a total time waster, and costs $$$.
Is there any known way to make the original view return a true orthographic view?
Please note that once the view has dependent views, the 'rotate view' command is disabled.

Is there an easy way to rotate my drawing 90 degrees clockwise in model space, but leave it in it's orginal view in paper space. The reason is for drawing elevations - north, south, east, west from construction lines pulled from a plan. I've tried using UCS and was able to rotate, but it won't let me copy objects after doing

I now think and exploded isometric may be the better way to present the drawing but as I have now made the frame all one element what is the best way to seperate it?
the corners I think will be easy I just create a planar at 45 degrees and use that to split the corners but is there an easy way to seperate the mid PFC and angle?
I have a finished 3D model in AutoCAD (although I did import it from another program), and I want to create the standard orthographic views as easily as possible. This tutorial looked perfect [URL].........
but i ran into some trouble. At step 5, where it says to press Base or use the command VIEWBASE i get a window that will ask me to open up some kind of inventor file. The tutorial does not acknowledge this, but the rest of the instructions and result seem like just what I need!

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using a number of sketches in a skeleton to control multiple solutions.
I am using case statements that apply values to my variables and create my solutions which is working fine however,
for clarity of what is being used in a given solution I want to turn on/off the sketches in my code. I have created a set of model views that when active properly turn off the visibability of the appropreate sketch.
While model view is among the things that can be selected for use in the code, so far as I can tell, I can not find a function that will allow me to set a view true so that it activates the view and my sketches turn off.
Im currently trying to set up a 2 point perspective view of a model ive recently designed.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create something great VLISP app that extracts an attribute and vertices for each instance of a selected block and creates a model view based on those inputs. This is my first attempt at a VLISP app.
Let's say there's a drawing populated with a block that has multiple visibility states for different size viewports and an attribute to label your sheet number. Once they are laid out, you run this app and it prompts you to select the "viewport block" that is placed. The app extracts the block name and for each instance it extracts the attribute name (sheet number) and vertices of the extents for the viewport. You will need to add the insertion point to the vertices, so that will have to be extracted as well. The app will then run the VIEW command to make a model view with the extracted data from each block.
When I attempt to plot one or more of my drawings in model view to pdf the plot will show gaps in between the edge of the paper and my border. The plot will vary per drawing but limited to the ledger and tabloid paper size, the plot area is set to window for the area the border contains, and the plot scale is fit to paper.

vbasepaper.JPGmodel.JPGIs it possible to display centrelines created in model space in a view created using viewbase? The snips I have attached show my problem. The black background image is from model space showing a node at a tubular instersection. The dark blue centrelines are always drawn first to set out the framework. When I create the manufacturing drawing in paper space it is sometimes useful to show the centrelines. However when I create a view using VIEWBASE only the 3d solids are considered and displayed. I do not want to have to draw the centrelines in every view and detail view as this will take an age and will have to be manually corrected in every view each time there is change.

Even setting the sky background to 1, then 0 doesn't work. When I save, it reverts to a perspective view and turns the sun/sky back on.
