AutoCad 3D :: Virtual Reality Modeling
Aug 30, 2013
the basic processes of Virtual Realty and Clash Detection modelling for Highway design. I've been asked by my employer to start developing skills in this area but I'm currently at a loss as to where to start with it all.
I'm a very competent Technician with AutoCAD 2D and have some experience with 3D modelling in AutoCAD, but the three software packages that I have been asked to 'learn' are Civil 3D, which I have attended an introductory course on but still only really understand the very basics of, 3DS MAX Design and NavisWorks Simulate, neither of which I have any experience with.
Basically, what I'm asking for now is, what practice role does each product play and in what order should I try and get experience with them? The AutoDesk website is full of jargon, sales language and amazing high resolution images of scheme concepts but nothing that says in plain English what it all does and how it all works together.

Can Adobe Photoshop CS4 create seamless panoramas and output virtual reality Quicktime (or other format) "movies?"
I will capture a scene using a QVTR tripod head and use exposure bracketing to make sure the scene is captured in HDR quality.
I want to end up with an interactive product that is ready to be inserted into a web-page.
(I have CS2 and would upgrade for that capability.)
If CS4 can't do this, please suggest software that can.
I think my current version (CS2) can do the assembling. But, I'm not sure about the seamless edge. I know that CS2 cannot create the output that I want.

I have a strange issue with PP CC which did not occur on CS6. The audio levels are slightly altered. This issue is clear if I compare them through Audition or Vegas Pro, when they are not altered.
For example, if I have a video with a soundtrack, and I enter another audio clip in another track for vocals, the vocals are lower then they actually are (like -12 instead of -6). It becomes evident when I open the sequence in Audition, where the levels are fine. What's happening? I really need to work with precise levels.

As CAD administrator at my company, which is in the process of implementing Inventor/Vault, I am quite sold on the Layout Modeling/Multi-body part modeling functionality that Inventor supports. Among other things I believe there is a large payoff in assembly stability and simplicity. However, this workflow is very different from the conventional methods of modeling individual parts and manually constraining assemblies. URLs....

Is there an easier way to dimension to a virual sharp or place the ordinate dimension origin on a virtual sharp than by trying to drag the point along each line until you get the dotted lines to intersect?

I have a VBA macro that places selected virtual components into an assembly. I can place virtual components with different part numbers into the assembly with no problem. When I try to place the second instance of a virtual component with the same part number I get an error.
For example: If I place a virtual component with the part number C123A456 into an assembly it shows in the tree as C123A456:1 If I try to place C123A456 again it errors at this line.
'Add selected line as a virtual part
Set oOcc = oOccs.AddVirtual(sPartNumber, oMatrix)
I can place multiple virtual parts if I append -1, -2, -3 etc to the part number but I would like to let Inventor use the :1, :2, :3 to keep track.

I am using 2012 and am having a problem dimensioning to a virtual sharp.
On the above corner I select the straight edge on top or to the left of the corner. I then right click to bring up the intersect option but the only options I get are one, Snap Settings, Zoom, Pan, and Help.
Do I have a setting off somewhere? Or is there a location where the sharps don't work?

I have a script that is perfectly works in 2012 inventor pro version. It moves newly added virtual parts into the VIRTUAL_PARTS folder. Part of script is below:
Dim oFolder As BrowserFolder Dim oTopNode As BrowserNode oTopNode = oPane.TopNode() Dim oTopNodeOcc As BrowserFoldersEnumerator oTopNodeOcc = oTopNode.BrowserFolders For Each oFolder In oTopNode.BrowserFolders i = i + 1 Next If i = 0 Then oFolder = oPane.AddBrowserFolder("VIRTUAL_PARTS", oOccurrenceNodes) Else For Each oFolder In oTopNode.BrowserFolders If oFolder.Name = "VIRTUAL_PARTS" Then For Each oOcc In oAsmCompDef.Occurrences If TypeOf oOcc.Definition Is VirtualComponentDefinition Then oNode = oPane.GetBrowserNodeFromObject(oOcc) End If 'MsgBox(oTopNodeOcc(1).Name) oTopNodeOcc(1).Add(oNode) Next Else ' do nothing End If Next End If
In 2014 pro it works only once, when I add first virtual part. It creates a folder and moves it there. When I add 2nd virtual part it gives me a error
see screenshot below.

I am trying to use iLogic to programatically create virtual components in an assembly. These components will by used as iProperty "buckets" to hold Machine Center specific information to be exported to production planning software. This information is hierarchical in nature and cannot be (conveniently) stored in the assembly iproperties directly.

How to add a virtual part from an excel list to assembly using vb.net plugin. I`d like to know how to change i Properties of the virtual part through vb.net.
The iLogic code that I would typically use is:
Dim occs As ComponentOccurrencesoccs = asmDoc.ComponentDefinition.OccurrencesDim identity As Matrixidentity = ThisApplication.TransientGeometry.CreateMatrix
Dim virtOcc As ComponentOccurrenceIf v_qty >= 1 ThenvirtOcc = occs.AddVirtual(sVirtPart, identity) Try iProperties.Value(sVirtPart & ":1", "Project", "Description") = oProp1iProperties.Value(sVirtPart & ":1", "Summary", "Title") = oProp1 Catch End Try.......
so for the plugin I need to re-write this
Dim _invApp As Inventor.ApplicationDim occs As ComponentOccurrencesoccs = asmDoc.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences
Dim identity As Matrixidentity = _invApp.TransientGeometry.CreateMatrix Dim virtOcc As ComponentOccurrence If vp_qty >= 1 Then virtOcc = occs.AddVirtual(sVirtPart, identity) 'Try ' iProperties.Value(sVirtPart & ":1", "Project", "Description") = oProp1 ' iProperties.Value(sVirtPart & ":1", "Summary", "Title") = oProp1 'Catch 'catch error when oProp1 = nothing 'End Try
How should I re-write the text in bold , so it works?

I would like to include Terminals and other virtual parts in het BOM on my drawing. For this I need to generate a report. I have defined my own virtual parts but somhow their properties are not accessible. You can see 88 items but this is the total of all segements and pins. Somehow partnumbers show as "---". I have included the report configuration file I am using.

I'm currently using Inventor Professional 2012, and have been experiencing problems with virtual memory usage. In past versions of Inventor, the small bar graph counter at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen (Virtual memory counter? Not sure what to call it...) would "re-fresh" after closing a model, drawing, etc. (i.e. Once closing the file, the counter would change from yellow to green, bringing the virtual memory usage back to zero). However, this isn't happening with 2012, and I'm not sure if the problem is the way Inventor was installed onto my workstation, or if it's a problem with the hardware. A temporary solution has been to shut down Inventor when the bar graph gets too far into the yellow range (or red), and then starting up Inventor again.
Specs for my workstation are as follows: Windows 7 (32-bit), processor is Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU W3503 @ 2.4GHz 2.39GHz, 3GB RAM.

How do I ad my own terminals, seals etc. under Connecter Pin Propertiesvirtual parts, and how do get this information on the nailboard.
Alternatively, I would to put this information(seals and terminals that are to be used with the connector) directly on the connector that i publish to content center, some sort of property/text, that I can retrieve on the drawing/nailboard.

I thought I had virtual sharps figured out but I guess not. I can dimension to the virtual sharps point but the wittness lines are not showing up. Thus it appears that the dimension is to something off in space. Where do I find the setting to show the wittness lines and select the style of lines? As I wrote this I thought of "styles editor" but I didn't fijnd anything there either.

In Inventor you can use "virtual components" in assemblies for things like paint, oil etc. In Vault, these virtual components will get an item number. Is it possible to re-use a virtual component in another assembly?
Like the same paint for 2 different models (maybe just differing in amount). Right now I would have to create a lot of items for the same thing.

Here in some IAM mine, i need to put a % more of some parts, so I decided to use virtual components for that. It worked great, but I'm with 2 doubts to get faster doing that.
1º - Is there a way to link the properties of a virtual component, to an existing part ? Like mass, part number and some Customs too. That would be easier in this case, when I need just put some more parts without change the modeling visual.
2º - Can I use a template to create a virtual component ? I did some searches, but I just found topics from 2005 that it wasn't possible, but with IV 2013 or even 2014 is that possible ? I have here many custom properties that I always have to create again in virtual components.

getting virtual Components to be included in an Excel output of an assy BOM. I have an existing macro (see code below) that exports the StockNumber, partNumber,Description and an occurrence count of each item to an Excel spreadshet. It all works fine except for Virtual Componenst which are not included. It seems that because no file is created that the VC item can't be included in the Excel doc.
Sub Assy2Excel()
Dim oAssDoc As AssemblyDocument
Set oAssDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim SIPropSet As PropertySet
Set SIPropSet = oAssDoc.PropertySets.Item("Summary Information")
Dim rev As String
rev = SIPropSet.ItemByPropId(kRevisionSummaryInformation).Value
If oAssDoc.DocumentType <> kAssemblyDocumentObject Then
MsgBox "The Active document must be an 'Assembly'.", vbExclamation
Exit Sub
End If
If MsgBox("The generated list is for the use of the Purchasing Department. It counts all of the BOUGHT & MADE parts in the assembly. Some manual editing will be required to 'clean up' the list.
", vbYesNo + vbQuestion) = vbNo Then
Exit Sub
End If
Dim oDocs As DocumentsEnumerator
Set oDocs = oAssDoc.AllReferencedDocuments

Is there a way to put a hatch mark (dimilar to a DIMCENTER) at a "virtual sharp"? For example, two 90 degree lines have a 1/4" fillet/radius between them. I want to put a small cross there the lines would have theoretically intersected.

I`m working on the code that reads a list of virtual parts from Excel and adds required qty into the assembly. So far it looks good, I just need to know how to create a folder in a Assembly view tree and save virtual part in that folder instead of placing it in the root.
Dim occs As ComponentOccurrences
occs = asmDoc.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences

I am fluent in sketchup modeling but have had no success in attempting to model something similar to the crinkled wall mass in the attached image. I have d/l'ed 3dsmax for 30 trial and trying to learn on the fly, which is difficult. before i spend too much time trying to to achieve a crinkled wall mass? in my first attempt i was able to create a rectangle, add modifer of garment maker and apply cloth attributes (and ripple) to it but it's too smooth around the edges although it had amplitude to it.

I have a problem when I am modeling my character or rather the character from the animation academy. I have created an NURBS sphere and I want to adjust it to the arm, so I go to the component mode add some isosparms and then it happens!!! I can´t move any vertexes... but in the object mode I can move the hole object.

When using the following filters in Photoshop CS6 all updated installed:
Adaptive Wide Angle
Lens Correction
I get the following error:
No more virtual tiles can be allocated.
I have 8 GB of RAM and 100 GB free on my only partition and a GeForce 880 FX graphics card.
For this test I am using a small 2 MB 1000x500 px jpeg image. But I tried with a lot of different images.
I already deleted the Photoshop settings and played around with the performance settings.

I just updated to CS 2 from PS7. I am running a 2 Ghz Pentium 4 with 512 MB of Ram. Windows XP.
My problem is that when you start CS 2 it starts to eat away the virtual memory like crazy, eventually causing the system to hang.
My scratch disk is on a separate physical drive from the OS. I also reset the pref file to no avail. Does any one have any suggestions or seen this type of behavior?
