AutoCad 3D :: Outdoor Structure With Lights - Lanterns Will Not Glow
Dec 2, 2011
I have created a rendering of an outdoor structure with some lights. There are lanterns on the front of the stone columns which I have placed lights in but no matter how I try to adjust them, the desired affect of having a soft glow in the lanterns can not be obtained. The light I created inside the structure is working fine. It's also funny how when I just view the model in Realistic mode the lights are seen and the give a soft glow like I'm looking for. But when I render it these lights might as well not even be there.

Uhm, whenever I render I only get white outputs. I'm used to use Revit, and have forgot how to use autocad. But this project relies on making a couple of renders in Autocad.
How do I get useful outdoor as well as indoor renders?
Here's the .dwg

We use C3D 2012 (metric only) - We are attempting to customize our list of structures for Sanitary Sewers. The structure list shows sizes we do not use and we would like to modify them. However, when we try to select the "Inner Diameter" it displays a list of sizes that we can not seem to modify or add to.
I have looked at some of the XML files to try and modify or add new sizes (example: AeccStructConcentricCylinder_Metric.xml) , but they do not seem to be recognized even after I restart the program.
Here is what the file looks like:
<ColumnConstList desc="Inner Structure Diameter" dataType="float" unit="mm" name="SID" id="CCL1" visible="1" context="StructInnerDiameter" index="0">
<Item id="i0">1200.0000</Item>
<Item id="i1">1350.0000</Item>
<Item id="i2">1500.0000</Item>
<Item id="i3">1800.0000</Item>
<Item id="i4">2050.0000</Item>
<Item id="i5">2300.0000</Item>
<Item id="i6">2550.0000</Item>
I tried modifying the last line replacing 2550 with 3600.
I also tried adding a line <Item id="i7">3600.0000</Item>
I saved the XML file and restarted the program with nothing changing that I can see.
Looking for correct file(s) to edit so I can modify the LISTS that come up in the piping modules.

One good thing about null structures is the way they display in 3D. They cover that gap in the pipe segments. Can I steal that shape?
I am currently using a simple cylinder for water pipe "joints" and turning it off like most people do I think.

I have drawn a pipe network with multiple concentric sturctures. I need to make them all eccentric now. Is there an easy quick way to do this, or do I have to redraw all of them. When I go to the properties, I cannot find an option that allows me to change this.

I am making an animation of how to assemble an outdoor fireplace system.
I have a mortar bag modeled that will be used to apply mortar to all the areas where different components are joined to each other.
I have figured out how to use a cylinder and pather deform to make the mortar come out of the bag.
After the first section of mortar is applied, how do I move the the mortar bag by iteself to the next area tha needs mortar?
There is an "attachment" position controller applied to the mortar bag which tied to the leading edge of my mortar bead.
I'm not sure how to disassociate the mortar bag with each line of mortar that gets put down and then let the mortar bag move around the scene to the next area.

I'm created a photo of an alien boy being beamed down to someone's house in a cone of bright white light from a flying saucer, and I tried to use the "layer style" to create the glowing light effect in this cone of bright light - but somehow I'm not getting the "glow" effect that I got before. I'm stumped as to what I'm doing wrong/not doing right to produce the glow effect. In other words, the outer/inner glow effect no longer works. Can anyone please help me?

I'm working on a lighting plan. So I want to create symbols for switches and for lights and connect a switch to a light using an arc so that when I move either switch/light, the arc is repositioned accordingly. Similar to connectors in visio.

Lisp routine that divided up a normal square / rectangle room and insert a block at each given point.
At present if the room was to have four lights width ways and three lights length ways we would divide the width by eight to give us 1/2 1 1 1/2 so the lights would be placed on every second point after the divde command (dividing the room by twice the amound of lights needed).

I'm going to mount double flood lights with a motion sensor at each corner of the house, it will mount on a junction box in the soffit. This would sure save me some time, I searched the web but so far I'm not finding any blocks at all to do this.

Does AutoCAD or Civil 3D have the option of displaying fonts with a "glow", rather than the "box when using background mask? GIS maps often show the text in black, with a lighter outline...I am looking to display our fonts on maps in a similar fashion.

I have this very large scene that has 109 lights. I'm tweeking a portion of the scene and it would be real handy to be able to turn all the lights (except a few) off to speed rendering times. I don't know of a way to do this and doubt its possible without a script or something.

My problem is that in some of my family pictures, there are lights on in the background or bright windows behind the subject. Is there any way to reduce the brightness of ONLY these extremely bright areas without making the rest of the photo too dark?
I have searched for hours and can't seem to find anything that resembles my scenario, although I'm sure that I'm probably just not looking for the right thing in the right place.

Ive had a look around the forum and done a few searches but have been unable to find any reference to creating the effect of Ultraviolet lights, or black light.
im designing a space in 3d studio max and want to light portions of it in UV. ive no idea how to create this in MAX so i thought i may be able to apply it to the renders in PS.
im after that lighting effect where a tube casts a violet light and makes whites and certain colors fluoresce and glow brightly.

I was designing something for my DJ buddy which used the "5 lights down" Lighting effect..
Its found in: Render>lighting effects area.. Then you can click the down menu and select it.
I was trying something and accidentally deleted the five lights down option.. But.. I need it back!

I have 2 photometroc lights in my scene. I have a simple animation going on and I'm trying to keep the viewport clean while the animation plays. Is there a way to hide the lights (wireframe circles)? Without turning the lights off that is.

I am new to 3ds max. For the scene I am doing know I am using photometric lights and I can't control the density of the shadows (they are way too dark). I can't find any controls that are affecting the shadows or any useful information on the web. I am using mental ray and ray traced shadows.

I cannot get any lights to appear in my 3d scenes until I begin rendering. I have installed all updates. In fact, this started when I installed the Creative Cloud update back in December. Also, how do I get rid of the annoying IBL preset?

I am currently designing a new map for a planet i am designing, however i want to add some city lights to it so in the dark, it looks like it is actually populated, much like most pictures of the earth, showing both the light and dark side (because of my post count i can't insert a link to an image but hopefully you get what i mean) .
At the moment i don't have any lights, how do i get this effect.

I have been struggling trying to make stage lights, like those that are on the banner of the url below. It looks like the lights themselevs are done with a gradiant effect, I think the same with the cans. If you look closely, there is actually quite a bit of detail; ie: the metal ring around the light, the smoothness of the metal cans, etc.

I have an issue that every time I render a scene with photometric lights and have the exposure control set to Mr. Photographic exposure, outdoor night time, I get flicker. It appears to be an interlacing problem, but looks like the lights are flickering bright and dim. I am rendering as a .jpg sequence.

I am modelling a livingroom and I am using Daylight system and mental ray renderer and that all works ok.
But when I want to add standard lights, with ray traced shadows, I can place them as usual in the scene but it doesnt illuminate the scene at all, no matter how high multiplier.. Not in the model nor in the renders.
I also ticked enable hardware shading, enable shadows and enable ambient occlusion.
