AutoCad :: Object Hidden Faces Settings?

Jun 30, 2012

i have a 2012 version of autrocad and i have a problem with my 3Dobject settings.

when i move my cursor over any object (eg:box) placed in SW iso view,I cannot see the bottom face of box neither the back or right side. The object should become transparent when i move my cursor over it,but instead the object is purely solid.When i want to shell box from bottom it becomes a problem.

3ds Max :: How To Turn Off Multiple Faces / Hidden Geometry

Aug 22, 2012

I don't know how to verbalize this, but earlier I was able to edit poly > select by face > and extrude. Now it only lets me select faces that I can't see in regular view but can see in Hidden Geometry. This is for every single mesh in my scene, and not just the one. How do I make it so that I can select the whole face and not the hidden geometry as well, so that I can extrude. I'm trying to do this assignment for class and have only until Sunday to get this all worked out .

AutoCAD Inventor :: Automating Hidden Line Settings On A Per-part Basis

Sep 21, 2013

A large part of my job is creating installation drawings for plants (equipment and catwalks).  Usually what I like to provide the installers is a plan view showing the equipment / catwalks with the base pads of the supports visible as hidden lines.  If I just turn on hidden lines in a view, then it is too crowded.

However, manually turning on hidden lines for hundreds of base pads (potentially) is a huge time-sink and usually involves going through the browser manually to find them all.  What I would like to do is automate the procedure to some extent. Usually there is only 4 or 5 different parts in an assembly that I need to have hidden lines for.

AutoCad 3D :: Draw Out All Faces Of 3D Object And Then Merge Them Together

Feb 25, 2012

Is it easier to draw out all faces of the 3d object and then merge them together later on or is there a method that allows me to be able to dimension and extrude my object as I work from the 3d space?

Say, I created a square and extruded it into a block. Then I want to look at one of the sides and poke 3 holes in it. My problem is I cannot use annotate to change the geometrical constraints on them, like if my circle is out of place or if it is too large or small.( or at least they don't show up for me.)

I'm learning about the UCS system but I thought if I moved the UCS system to the face I want to draw on and change from 3d modeling back to 2d annotation I can go ahead and annotate from that face of interest.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Volume Calculation For Faces Object?

Jan 9, 2013

I have a volume in my CAD file described by 3D Faces. Is there anyway to know what is the volume of this volume -that represents an open pit-?

Every time that I do a volume I do by the comparison of 2 surfaces but this is not the case now.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Getting To Hidden Object Properties In Vbscript?

ADT Window Style Type in a PSD
Filed under: visitmycarfeed, drivemy cars, minicartag, internet — wilhemina947judith @ 5:38 pm

The Window Type for a windows style is not available as an automatic property. So a bit of VBScript is needed. Create a PSD (Property Set Definition) that applies to Windows styles and add the automatic property Handle. Then add the formula below. Notice that [Handle] in the formula must be selected from the “Insert Property Definitions” list. In the code

AecX.AecArchBaseApplication.5.0 refers to ADT 2007. For other versions of ADT change it. ADT 2004 - AecX.AecArchBaseApplication.4
ADT 2005 - AecX.AecArchBaseApplication.4.5
ADT 2006 - AecX.AecArchBaseApplication.4.7
ADT 2007
- AecX.AecArchBaseApplication.5.0
ACA 2008 - AecX.AecArchBaseApplication.5.5

[code]....

I have already wrote the code to get the elevations of ceilng grid objects, diffusers and lights in autocad MEP 2008. Now to get this to work for basic hatch objects that we like to use for gyp ceilings...

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Object Properties Window Hidden

Mar 27, 2012

We run 2012 Civil 3D.  We recently loaded an application which provides tabs of mutiple open drawings at the top of the page so you can easily switch between drawings. 

I typically dock my Object Properties Window on the left side of my window.  Once we added the application, I can no longer access my Object Properties window.  It is slightly visible within the window where the drawing tabs are.  However, it is only 2 -3 lines of the window. 

I cannot drag the properties window to another location.

I tried removing the application for the drawing tabs.  However, then I cannot access the properties window at all.  It says it opens and closes but it is hidden. 

I attached a screen shot to try to show the problem.  The properties window can be seen in the top left corner.

Hidden lines not removed from elevation and section objects.  I've tried various tests, to no avail.....

3ds Max :: Missing Object Faces In Viewport?

Nov 3, 2011

I've been using 3DS max for a few days now, but I recently must have pressed a shortcut key which makes some of the near-side-faces disappear so that you can see the the opposite side.

The picture that I've attached (successfully hopefully) shows that I've not simply deleted the sides as the missing faces are rendered. But something I couldn't show in the picture was that when you change the viewing angle, the faces reappear and disappear based on the view.

The only solutions I could think of was to delete the objects (failed), and starting a new file (no success with that)

i got Inventor recently, and i've been working on a model of a longboard just to teach myself how to use the tools in Inventor. right now i'm trying to color areas for the griptape pattern so i drew the 2D pattern and projected it onto the 3D model of the longboard. but when i tried to split the faces of the model along the projected pattern only a few of the projected lines split the faces. for other faces i kept getting these errors:

Maya Modeling :: How To Extrude Multiple Faces And Get Them To Rotate Along The Center Of Object

Dec 30, 2012

I'm trying to extrude multiple faces, and then get them to rotate along the center of the object so that they can all sort of have the same angle radiating from the center. In the picture, the one on the top Left is my starting point. I would like to rotate those faces, for example, so that they will all be flat (picture on Right which I achieved through vert snapping to grid) but the only results I can produce are the 2 small pictures on the bottom. =(

Is this possible?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Hidden Linetypes In Legacy Hidden Viewport Plots Continuous

Feb 9, 2012

In 2008, never had this issue.Just dumb, circles, and lines in a view port, that have hidden or center linetyoes assigned to them.  When we go to plot using legacy hidden (this new for 2012?) the plot comes out with continuous lines.  These are not solids.  Just ordinary line entities.Now, when I change the shadeplot to "hidden" the linetype is shown correctly, but now my entities are coloured, when I just want my drawing to be black and white (going to PDF), even though all of the colours in the pen style are set to "Black".

Has this changed?  Is there a new variable introduced?

Edge Animate CC :: Overflow Hidden On A Rectangle Object?

Jan 9, 2013

I have created a rectangle object with top right and bottom left corners set to 90px.  I have an image that goes inside the box in the bottom left corner.  The problem is I need the box to act as if it is using "Overflow Hidden" so I can position the image in the corner and have it partially "cut off" to fit the corner but It doesn't seem to be working when I set the overflow to hidden on the rectangle.

Also (part of my previous post earlier), is there a way to add/change the CSS code generated by Edge without messing anything up?I can write this in CSS and add it if I knew where and how (although I'd rather do it within the Edge interface).

AutoCad :: Hidden Lines Won't Stay Hidden When Plotting

Aug 3, 2011

I'm drawing objects (walls, platforms, etc.) in 3d made up primarily of extruded polygons. I want to be able to plot these objects in a way that hides all of the lines which are obscured by other objects. Currently I have my viewports set up with a 2D Wireframe visual style and a Hidden shade plot. This isn't working for me. I'm still getting all of the lines in the drawing visible no matter what.

Here's the strange thing: It seems to work perfectly fine in plan view, but not in front view. Also, it's worked fine in the past. It seems that the problem has gotten progressively worse over the past year or so.

I'm using AutoCAD 2008.

Any way to change the setting in Object Viewer that will let you orbit around the cursor instead of the center of the screen? In object viwer, orbit is only constrained around the middle of the screen. To me, it would make sense to have it rotate around the cursor like in model space.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Label And Object Settings Using Layer 0 And Plotting?

Dec 31, 2012

I am having problems plotting out parcels and creating label settings.  I think I am missing an important concept in the object and display tab of setting creation.  I am not finding going through the documentation.   What I have found is not well explained.

I started with the OOB alignment settings.  I noted that the Basic setting has a description that states the object will take on the settings of the layer it is created on.

I noted that if I adjusted the alignment properities to "Basic". I could then move the 'roadway' alignments to P-RD-CL and the swale alignments to P-SWALE-CL.  Freezing the P-SWALE-CL then turns off the swale CL's, but keeps the roadway ones on.

I am looking for a fast way to determine which styles this works for or the area of the documentation that better explains how this works.

I am starting to explore creating label styles the same way.  That way I can double or triple label pipe networks such that identical styles are labeled on an E&S layer and a PCSM layer and the individual lables can be dragged on the two different sheet layouts in the same file to avoid text over writes.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Object Snap Settings In Ordinate Dimensions?

Jan 9, 2013

We use ordinate dimensions for all holes in parts.  Unfortunately there seems to be features frequently left out of ordinate dimension mode.  For instance, by default Inventor uses center and quadrant object snaps.  Unlike in normal dimension mode, there is no right click option for disabling quadrant snaps.  This is a constant annoyance, especially when dimensioning a print with a lot of holes.  Is there any other way or hidden setting to disable the quadrant snap?  In addition, add member is missing from the new "marking menu"  completely so we have to enable the old right click menu to get it back.  Are we the only ones using ordinate dimensions?
