I want to know how do professionals lay the switches and sockets at pre defined distances from reference points on large scale drawings?
hopefully the answer will teach me more about placing objects quickly by using lesser no of steps.

I've always layout my floor plans three dimensional with the tools pallets commands such as walls, rails, door, windows & ect. I always have my walls pre-hatched with the solid pattern which is really effective to the floor plan. Normally when I put windows in the wall the window is clearly shown without the hatch in the wall but for some reason my wall's hatch started covering the windows and I can't seem to solve this problem.

When I use the batting insulation linetype and run a line between the walls the batting symbol extends beyond the 3 5/8 inch walls. how do I get it to fit between?

I'm able to do the walls but when i switch it to the analytical view the wall doesn't appear because it's not structural. It's there a way to do in-place mass structural walls.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have some geotextile sheets of specific dimensions (that's 45mx5m) and a surface (not a regular one) with grades ranging from 3.5% up to 34%.I would like to "fit" those sheets on the surface (which should overlap one another by .30m (see attached image)) but not project them, (that's why I don't believe "drape" is the proper word).
Meaning that since the 45m dimension is facing up/down slope, the length should be less in projection (see attached image) and that should be calculated automatically since the surface is a very irregular on (not like the attached dwg which is included as an example).
I've got an issue where I will be drawing a pline in model space and use the roller on the mouse to zoom out and it automatically switches me to paper space. Is this a Civil3D issue or a mouse issue?

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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI use a MacBook Pro to print to an Epson 9800 roll printer.All of a sudden, the Epson is laying down huge quantities of ink, especially when I print onto film (for screen printing). It puts down so much ink, the ink dribbles down the film and drips off the printer, pooling on the floor, until I leap up and cancel the job. What's more, the printer is printing a light-colored background to images that had no background to begin with.
Here's the catch: *this only happens in Photoshop.* (I'm using CS 5.1.) If I take the same image file, place it in Illustrator, and print it, it comes out just fine. So the problem lies in Photoshop's print options.
warping an image. I want to take a series of CD's and make them look like they are sort of tilted, and lying flatish.
What I am trying to do can be seen in the image I posted called Example.jpg... what I have right now is in the file called cds.jpg.
I can create the 3-d box, no problem, but how would I lay the cd's in a tilted fashion?
I tried all the warp tools, but they don't seem to work to get the job done. I'm sure it must be user error!
I tried perspective, and used Shift and dragged in the bottoms... but I made a royal mess of it.
How should I approach the image? Should I fan the Cd's out in a semi-circle first also?
And should I group this into a smart object first?
I was wondering whether it is possible and quite easy to create a necklace laying down on a white surface.
It concerns a Yin-Yang necklace and I would like to create it like it is laying down on a white table or so (so a kinda inclined view). And you should only see it laying down because of the shadow or so.
I have seen this done before, but my text always comes out skewed and crappy looking. Basically, I have a cell where the background image is repeated so that it look like a solid image. I try to make a new image in photoshop with a transparent background. I type in some text, and apply "smooth" to it. Whatever format I save it in though, it looks like crap when I place it in the cell! Is there some step I am missing?

I set a snap for ease of use, e.g. if my intended output scale is 1:50 I will set my snap to 25, this makes drawing lines fast and simple.
When I used the break command in previous versions (I skipped 2011) the break would keep the snap on so I could break either side of a line with a perfect unit gap.
In 2012 when I select the first point it disregards the snap and just puts the break wherever I select on the line meaning the gap is not neat. Is there anyway to put this back the way it was?

All my pages are full bleed but I don't know the full bleed pixel dimensions are for the dust jacket (standard landscape 10" x 8"). I'm using the layout where one image covers all of the flaps, covers and spine. I would need the pixel height plus the pixel widths for the flaps, covers, and spine.
View 1 Replies View RelatedLaying out multiple clips to tape from smoke 2013 (maybe in excess of 20 - 30 clips at one time) without having to 'ctrl/click' on each clip individually. In every previous edition of smoke I would be able to go to media library, highlight the folder with all the clips in and press 'output' and all clips would be taken to I/O menu. This is a must for multiple playouts to tape which some of us still have to do on a regular basis. AND don't get me started on having to re-timecode every clip individually because someone thought it a good idea to remove the 'step' (increment) timecode button.
And why if i use smoke2013 without the mac menu at the top do I not have an 'Output to' or 'Capture from' VTR menu.
I've been trying but I keep getting an error message that reads "Every Clip was Discarded: Max Depth:1"
I know the VTR is working because I was able to capture in Smoke.
I have a line or a pline segment and i want to start a line from a point laying there and go perpendicular outwards. Is there a way to do it with tracking?
Yes, i saw the command draw line at an angle but i find it a little bit complicated for a simple task like that. I am sure autodesk have a simplest solution about that.
If i am already at the draw line mode and i can easy catch the tracking perpendicular to previous segment but if i want to start from another line and go perpendicular i cannot make the tracking work.
