AutoCad :: Vertical Xref Clipping Boundaries
Apr 4, 2011
I know that I´m supposed to make one drawing for each level when I draw several story buildings, but this time for some reason I just did one drawing for the whole building, and then I xref the different sections into it. Problem is that in plan view when I want to view plan 2 I get the windows and doors etc from plan 1.
No problems, I thought, I´ll just create a clipping boundary so that everything beneath plan 2 will be hidden, and it works really well when in 3d view, but as soon as I press the "top" button, the whole xref suddenly disappear!
Here are some pictures:

The problem I run into with 3DClip is that once my 3D model reaches a certain size I loose the visualization of my clipping boundaries. I can watch my viewport change as move the clipping plane but don't see a handy dandy line to show where exactly it is clipping.
Now if I could just get my front clipping plane to show up white, blue, yellow, or any color other than black given my black background!

I have pretty strange behaviour on concert pictures I import from my D700. Usually I import with camera profile Vivid V4. The concert pictures have strong reds due to the flood lights.
My camera histogram shows a slight clipping of the reds (even though I underexpose 1-2 stops).
After import of the RAW files using Vivid V4, the histogram in Lightroom looks strange, and also the controls behave strange:
- a strong red spike in the histogram at about 1/5th away from clipping level (the picture in Lr shows blown out parts in red)
- hovering over different areas of the pictures and checking the percentage indicator underneath the histogram shows significant areas of 100 % red, even though there are still tonal differences in those areas
- moving exposure to the right: the histogram content left to the spike is shifting as expected, but the spike is growing and staying at 1/5th, nothing is appearing to the right of the spike (more areas in the picture are blown out)
- no other basic control can flatten out the spike, even not the highlight slider
- only the saturation control has some influence, and also with the tone curve I can fill the histogram, but picture is still looking blown out
The situation improves a lot by using Camera Neutral V4, the red is more spread out in the histogram, also beyond the 1/5th the highlight clipping level. Significant areas in the picture are still at 100 % but less blown out. Basic controls are behaving more normal, and it is possible to fill the histogram by increasing the exposure or other controls.
The question is.. is this unintended behaviour of Lightroom, or is is as good as we can get it with the strong red colors, and is it better not to use Vivid V4 in these cases?

I have been using Elements 8 for some time and recently purchased an ASUS monitor that is at home in both vertical and horizontal modes. Can I change the Elements 8 format to work in a vertical format to accommodate the larger size possible with a vertical image. It is difficult to manipulate the functions in Elements when the mouse is working in a horizontal mode and you are viewing a large image in a vertical format. If the format of the Elements 8 software can be changes to vertical, any protocol (directions) to accomplish this?

I know that in ACAD you can use the xref manager to see where the actual file for the xref resides on your computer/server/etc. What I'm curious about is whether or not the inverse action is possible. Can you somehow access the file (not the output sheet where it's being xref-ed) and see what other files are using it as an xref?
I've come in on a project that is nearing completion and have been assigned the task of "cleaning up the project folder." Unfortunately, there are a ton of files in the different folders that are no longer in use on the final output sheets and I need to keep the ones still in use and archive the ones that are no longer needed. What I've been doing is going through those sheets and reviewing the xref manager for each sheet to see which files are actually put onto those sheets and making a physical checklist from which to organize my findings. Once the checklist is made, I then archive all the files that are no longer being used.

Is it possible to run a lisp which can extract all the xref names, make a layer with that name and then change the xref on the layer? I have got a similar routine from earlier posts but it doesn't work if any xrefs inserted in paper space (works fine on model space). could change this routine allowing to change the layer of xref in paper space too.
(defun dxf (i a) (cdr (assoc i a)))
(defun c:lxr ( )
(setq ss (ssget "x" '((0 . "INSERT"))))

I am using (trying to anyway) a :VLR-xrefSubcommandReloadItem reactor. My only question is how to get the xref/block name from the 'reactor callback data' Object ID.
I am ultimately trying to pass it to (vla-get-xrefdatabase ....), but I cannot figure out how to turn the second parameter from the reactor callback data into something I can use - for example the second parameter returned may be "65" or some other number.

While using the 3D extrude and bevel tool, specifically the isometric preset from the position drop down menu. I am noticing that when I expand the shape (in this case a perfect cube), the vertical paths are not exactly perfect, and are not truly vertical, but off slightly. Is this something that can be fixed or adjusted in the settings, or is this how the tool works?

when you bind an xref the link disappears from the xref manager.
is it possible to bind an xref, but preserve that link in the xref manager? i realize that will lead to two copies of the same object in the drawing (one xref, plus the new block). everyone's okay with that happening.

How do I get the full Xref Path name instead of Xref.dwg? I'm scratching my head is this totally under my nose... cause I don't see where the property is stored. I'm getting EV_BDR.dwg instead of C:folderEV_BDR.dwg

I have a surface with several boundaries inside its extents representing areas where I do not want contours to be visible. Inside some of the boundaries (type = "HIDE") the contours do not show up, but in others, some segments of the contour lines are visible and others are not. How do I get all of the contour segments to be not visible within the boundaries?

I've tried redrawing the shape (which is all I could think of at this point), and I still can't get a hatch in the negative space of this extrusion.

Pasted into multiple smaller surfaces; made smaller by adding outer boundaries.The smaller surfaces are adjusted by using the Raise/Lower edit.Make a new surface. Paste all the small surfaces in together.
Now, I notice an area that was not included in any of the small surfaces, but was part of the original large surface. Somehow, this area is showing up in my final surface. So far I tried adding the polyline that forms the 'outer' boundary of each small surface also as a 'data clip' boundary, but don't see any difference. Only thing that works is delete surface point...click, click, click.

I am having trouble hatching multiple "Arc & line" boundary objects. If there is ony 1 shape mape up of Arcs & Lines it works ok, but if there is more than one, it fails,

I'm making other routine and I want to check if there is some boundaries in the selected surface and in that case, which of them has the most priority.
contorno= "boundary" and exterior=SurfaceBoundaryType.Outer
I have done this: URL....
I think that the last boundary in the list is the first boundary priority.How can I get that list?

is there a way to extend the hatch if the region is later extended? bd.png
the yellow highlights show the regions that are “empty” in hatch after the boundary has been changed. My current approach is to first delete the hatch, then re-apply it, but it can be very inconvenient if there are multiple regions to change.
Is there a way to automatically associate the existing hatch with new boundary (either extended or shrunk)?

Found this code at //blog.civil3dreminders.com/2011/0 ... aries. html to extract all surface boundaries - something I do a lot. How can I take this code and use it in C3D 2012
Extract All Surface Boundaries
Ever want to extract a bunch of surface boundaries? I have, but I don't really want to select each and every surface. Here is some code for VBA that will automate the process.
Sub ExtractBoundaries()
Dim oAcadObject As AcadObject
For Each oAcadObject In ThisDrawing.ModelSpace
If (TypeOf oAcadObject Is AeccTinSurface) Then
Dim oSurf As AeccTinSurface
Set oSurf = oAcadObject
oSurf.ExtractBorder aeccDisplayOrientationPlan
End If
Next
End Sub

I am trying to create islands of surface by multiple enclosed polylines as boundaries.
Each enclosed polyline has several 3d lines as drawing objects.
After creating the surface from the 3d lines I use "Select similar" to select all boundaries(enclose polylines) and add them as boundaries using the "Show" option.
However, it is not working and I do not see the islands of a surface.

I used to have a tool (not sure where I got it from) that would extract all surface boundaries that were in a drawing but this tool no longer works in 2014 as it was written for 2012. Time/inclination to write a similar routine that would work in 2014?

I have an assembly that uses reference parts. I do not want them in the BOM, but they are used in other drawings in the BOM. When I make them reference, the iso drawing view boundaries are not correct. Can I change the size? Crop will only decrease the size not increase?

I have several surfaces pasted to make a composite surface, and a poly line is added as a none destructive boundary.
The surface looks fine on the screen, but when it is exported to LandXML the boundary is ignored, This creates a 120MB XML file, which will not load into Windes for Drainage work.
I can trim the breaklines defining each surfaces, but there is 8 models and 8 different areas to trim in this manor. This would take far too long and would also create 64 surfaces!!!

There is a default viewport in Layout1. How can I reposition and resize it on the paper? It would also be sufficient if I could delete it--how do I do that? (then I could create one that fit my needs)
Briefly, what are disadvantages of not using Model view?

When I was using AutoCad 2010 I could HATCH within a cube, circle or within any object that was joined together even if it had text in it would HATCH within the boundaries of the area to be hatched. Now that I use AutoCad 2013 this option does not work as if there is text in the object only a partial area will become hatched. This means I have to MOVE the cube or whatever shape to a place where there is no text inside it, HATCH and then move it back to where I wanted it in the first place.

I am in the process of translating existing VBA code into its equivalent in VB.NET (developing VS Professional 2010 and testing in AutoCAD 2010)
My problem is that I have never done hatching in VB.NET before, and now I am required to hatch a rectangular area (defined by lines) within an AutoCAD block. How to go about accomplishing this task.
To create my block, I am using a DBObjectCollection to store my lines, and then append them to the block definition, creating a reference to see what I just created.
If I were to define a rectangular outline within this block, how can I possibly hatch it?

I like that in the hatch command, you can select multiple boundaries at a single time, hit ok, and be done with your hatching. However, when hatching from the tool palette, you can only select one boundary at a time, forcing you to constantly repeat the command. Is there a system variable that controls this type of behavior for the tool palette?

We work in space management and deal with associative spaces every day. As a platform we use ACA 2012, with out own Add-on tool (whch simply groups ACA's own tools in one).
We have issues on a daily-basis with the usable boundaries of associative spaces (the green line indicated in the example attachment). Generally when a floorplan is simple, consisting mainly of 90-degree angles wall intersections, everything works fine. However when we work with floorplans consisting of arched, or even more often slanted walls or walls that meet at different angles, the usable boundaries' lines tend to create a "spike" (labled B. on the attachment) which extends outward from the plan, thus creating i.e a 28m2 space out of a 13m2 space (labled A). We use our own calculation standard, however using BOMA or SIS the issue occurs in the same manner, using SIS its even worse.
Generally we solve these issues by changing wall justifications, deleting and re-creating spaces, etc, etc. This can be a very tedious process, one which takes a long time and time is of the essence!
We are aware that by making the spaces non-associative, we can then manually edit the usable boundary, however this is not an option as we handle a great deal of different floorplans each day, and these plans are updated frequently, so we do not want to send out a drawing which has a problem like this because the next person who edits some of the spaces will most likely come across the same problem again.
