I am currently deciding whether to invest money in buying Revit LT. I think that I need to do 3D views of interiors as my clients are being asked to provide them for presentation purposes. I would like to know if it is possible to produce decent 3D views in Architecture and render (even in a basic format) them too. If I can do this then I don't need to spend money on Revit LT or similar but maybe just some money on training.
I am a long time Elements user (2,5, 8) using a PC. I recently installed PS Elements 11 on a Mac Book Pro OS X 10.7.5 I print from a Canon 9000 Mk II. I have never had printing problems until I installed 11 on the Mac. Prints are terrible usually dark and with a green tint. I have experimented for about a week on one print now unsucessfully trying to solve the problem. Elements is beautiful on screen and great to work with...just not making the trip to the printer. I have used this same printer many times with earlier versions with beautiful results.
ive been trying all day to get a decent button made for a jukebox program , the best i could do is attatched but its just still not right , im after a realistic looking button that looks like its on and off when pressed , off light blue/grey and on green , a nice metalic silver around the outside that looks a little 3d when small if thats possible i think im close but just need to be more realistic around the edges and lighting on the green on button i made the oblong button from the circle using the single selection line which i never new about , stretched one pixel across after splitting the circle in two , by the way if your after software for music this is a great program , if the right button is designed i could probably get it free or for a small amount its normally 50 bucks , if its a great button im sure ill get it free a squarer edge button would be better i think
I am trying to create a second base view (using Layout/Create View/Base from model space). The problem is, I need it to be rotated from the original base view. However, when I rotate the part in model space, ALL of my views change.
So I guess my question is, how do I create multiple views of the same part that are seperate from the other base views?
i have views lets say 3 views on a sheet but in the list of views theres mores that appears maybe i inserted the extra views that are showing but i deleted them to put them on another sheet
the problem is they show up in the list of both sheet and i can't delete them from the list of the sheet that they were before
I need to generate some decent grain/noise bakground for web page of size 128x128 or similar size.
I found - Grain Generator at [URL] ...... but it does not allow setup a spicle/grain size only 1pixel. I want dirrerent and random sizes from 1x1px up to 4x4px size.
Can it be simply generated in PSP X2/X4 or some good even online generator?
We would like to make the transparency of glass-materials visible in views and section-views by using the "realistic style". During a 3d-view our glass-material looks like transparent. Isn't it possible for REVIT to display the transparency of materials in views ?
The workaround to hide "glass" by using "overriding visibility" is not possible for us because some of our families and project families are using glass-materials inside (Showcases f.e.).
Software (German) : RAC 2012+2013 Inventor Pro 2013 AcadM 2012 MaxDesign 2013 Sketchup 8 Pro
Since the end of Aug. 2012 I've been making families for a manufacturer. I left Friday evening with good families. This morning I am finding all the families I checked with a problem.
When I move the cursor across the various views it doubles the views. Rolling the mouse wheel one click either way to zoom in or out cleans the view but on the next time the cursor goes across the view it doubles it again. Now there are 4 views overlapping each other. The next time it is possibly 8, and so on. It is difficult to count them because they are overlapping but it looks like they are doubling each time.
The software is Revit Architecture 2011 and the computer is a Dell Precision T3500.Are the families corrupted or is it the computer? Is there a toggle I hit that I shouldn't have?
We are trying to find a way to produce a BMP/PNG/ tiff file Heightmap (Hillshade?), I was able to produce something, but it isnt good enough quality (attached). What is the best workflow to achieve a good quality image?
I have a drawing and i don't use alignment in this drawing , what i need is to produce (view frame groups). Can i produce the groups without alignment.
I have started to use CIVIL3D 2007 instead of LAND-DESKTOP 3.
My question is: When I used LDD I created a surface, then drew a polyline and by right-clicking chose "Project object".
This option produced many new points along my polyline which I used for my design.
When I tried this with CIVIL 3D I couldn't find this option.
I can create a quick profile, however, this is not good for me because I need the data as a collection of points with coordinates & elevation, and not as an image.
Is there any way to produce a projection on a surface (from a polyline)?
Or getting some information from the quick profile in the way I need?
i am trying to produce a pump symbol for a piping diagram. 2 polyline arc and a base in 2D. i have added a linear parameter and a scale action however when i scale my block the polyline width changes can i stop this happening ?
I am relatively new to dynamic block. I have generated a dynamic block that has four hole. I have HDistance and YDistance linear parameters set with mid point as their base location and action assigned so that they spread apart equally in horizontal and vertical direction and it works fine.
I am now adding another linear parameter (to change hole diameter) by trying to assign scale action, to increase or decrease hole diameter of all four holes simultaneously.
is it possible to produce something like in the attached image using the design accelerator? Instead of making a cylinder and sketching the spline patterns and extruding? To me there must be a way besides sketching and use the library's of standard splines patterns and sizes.
I've got this job at the moment, tasked with producing a 3D solid to dimension the proportions of a light-weight frame for a facade canopy/awning.
The process is to take the facade designer's wire frame model and produce a series of 3D solids 'SHELLED' to various thicknesses.
So, to begin with... I would like to pick a few brains about what method you would use to produce a 3D solid from the wire frame (which I have traced with polylines, and produced surfaces for each facet). Eventually I intend to SHELL the solid to contract 1.2mm and 28mm.

Up to now, I had just been creating cubes and slicing them to each facet of the shape... which was fine, but this shape is a bit more complicated than the previous ones.
I'm experiencing many problems when modifying parts measures, adding extruxions or doing holes/threads.
Always same error: Operation doesn't produce a significant result. Redefine inputs
If Inventor is totally closed and reopened, I can modify and update parts without problems for 10-30 minutes, until first error, then it gives errors until closing again. Usually, but not always, operation preview begins to fail before first error. So it's quite difficult to reproduce.
I've tried uninstalling everything after Autodesk installation, windows updates and Firefox plugins (well, even Firefox itself) included. I've tried all hotfixes and updates that Inventor 2013 gives (NO SP1), even I've fully reinstalled Inventor. I've been using Inventor from Inventor 7 and never seen such errors.
I've attached a part from the pictures. Anyway, as errors are not always happening, maybe you won't have any problem with it.
PD: Also, a little problem is that with this Inventor version I can use the CTR+c CTRL+v to copy parts into an assembly. I can use the context menu but no shortkeys.

I’ve just produced a short video, intended for Youtube, but in the ‘Share – create video file’ step can find no options to produce an mp4 file in 16:9. My preferences were set to 16:9 right from the start and all the material is either originally 16:9 or cropped to 16:9, so it would be nice to produce the video as 16:9. I tried a few other file type options that I thought might be suitable for uploading but can’t find anything on offer that would produce a small file size in 16:9.
I would like to produce high quality video files from VideoStudio X4. I can produce MP4 files 1280*720 (16:9), 25 FPS, but how do i produce similar quality (and aspect ratio) in FLV format?
I want to produce three positive transparency (C M Y) "films" that I can lay on top of each other over a white light for demonstration purposes (to simulate the behaviour of a slide film). Obviously each film has to be printed in its own colour (Y, M, C).
I was wondering, after I make a walkthrough in Revit, Is there a way that I can produce the walk-through into a video which I can open separately (like with windows media player rather than through Revit). If so, how?
I wanted to give a little presentation of the building I had created by showing people a walkthrough of the model, however I thought it would look unprofessional if I have to present it within Revit.
My images after being processed in LR show clearly different colours in other applications e.g. Picassa on the same computer with properly calibrated screen by Spyder 4 Pro.
