AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Rail Track Layout Utility - How To Add Custom Rail Type
Feb 27, 2013Is it possible to define custom Rail Types in Rail Track Layout Utility for AutoCAD® Civil 3D® 2013?
There is only combobox with predefined Rail types 49, 54, 60.
I found: "The rail type defines the standard turnout types (e.g. 49, 54, 60 etc.)or other user defined types "
, also there is mentioned, that "...pre-prepared turnout types that are written in the XML file ara_switch.xml"
I can't find that ara_switch.xml file.
Revit :: 2013 - Top Rail And Hand Rail Not Visible
Jun 13, 2012We have a project that has been upgraded to Revit 2013. When creating railings using the new railing types, top rails and hand rails disappear/are not visible seemingly at random. For instance, when a railing is created that contains railing profiles in the non-continous rails dialog box in addition to a top rail, the top rail and extensions are not visible in plan, but the rails created in the old non-continous dialog are visible.
This seems to occur only in our upgraded file. New projects seem to display the top rails and hand rails consistently.
Also, with railings that contain a "Wall" type extension, the extension return occurs at a 90 degree angle even if it is set to have a fillet. Further, in some instances, regardless of whether the rail is flat or sloped, the end wall extension return will display as two separate rectangles overlapping (i.e. it looks "broken"), instead of a clean, continuous railing. This seems related to the "direction" that the rail sketch line is drawn (a line drawn from the bottom of the screen to the top will have a broken railing, one drawn from the top of the screen to the bottom will not).
I know that scolding the Autodesk software developers isn't going to change anything, but I feel the need to blow off a little steam. The railing and stair "improvements" for this release are really not worth much. It's still much more time consuming (and frustrating) to model these elements, and with poorer results graphically, than it is to simply draw them. It's still not possible to dimension them properly, place balusters where you want them, make multi-level stair towers join properly, get the up/down arrows to display correctly, and a host of other issues. It's incredibly frustrating and baffling that there are so many issues with such a core component of the software's functionality.
Photoshop :: Realistic 3D Rendering Converted To Less Realistic Image?
Oct 11, 2013Was wondering if there are some ways in converting a highly realistic rendering of an object generated in a 3D program into a more illustrative, simplified, alittle less realistic version in Photoshop?
The object has plenty of silver reflections, HDRI environment map reflections, precise shadows and highlights, etc. I just want to make it look more generic and not as polished I guess.
Are there filters or plugins that will do this in a plug in play method or is it more prodedural and manual?

View 3 Replies View RelatedRevit :: Modeling Rail Track
Nov 23, 2011We are currently looking at how to model rail track in Revit to avoid a Bentley solution (Microstation / MX). A piece of track curves left and right in plan and up and down in section whilst at the same time twisting. We can ignore that it is track, effectively all want to do is extrude a shape along a 2 axis curve whilst twisting the shape.
It is possible to use a swept blend to create a twist along one curve in either axis, but not both axes as far as I have worked out. To make this more difficult the swept blend will also only let you sweep along one curve at a time, so if it was snaking in plan on a flat surface each curve would need to be set up and sweep over and over which is not really a suitable solution.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Sweep With Guide Rail

Hand rail.dwg.
I have tried to rotate this railing in 3D so that it looks like this photo but I can't. I've tried several different things with the UCS but clearly I don't know what I'm doing. So I'm turning to the CAD community that does. I can draw the hand rail no problem. But the drawing always leaves the finished hand rail in the X,Y plane. I need to rotate it in the Z axis (I think). Here is the orientation I want the railing to look once it's drawn. I need a step by step procedure so I can learn how to do this the correct way for future reference.

It generates a 3D spline, guide rail, and tool profile, but we're having trouble figuring out how to do the actual "sweep with guide rail" using the API.
Attached is an .ipt of the shapes our program is generating automatically. The problem is we are having to manually create the sweep after the geometry is created.
How can we automate the sweep with guide rail process?

Dec 7, 2012I'm trying to produce this loft but the rail I really need it to follow won't produce any results. The other ones on the 3d sketch will work just fine but not the regular sketched one. It seemed to work when I made the rail a straight line but I need it to follow the edge of the surface which is a line, tangent to small r3 arc, tangent to line and connected through projective geometry from the original surface sketch.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 :: Drawing Rail Road Tracks?
Jul 18, 2011I am trying to see if there is a way of distributing equally spaced lines along a curved guideline. Now there is a function to make text follow a guideline and curve in all different angles. What I want to do is the same thing but with strait lines. Is there a way to do it?
Let’s say I am doing a little model railroading and want to draw out my topographic layout first. Now think of a set of winding scale model rail road tracks with wooden rail cross tracks between the metal rail tracks. Now if my actual scale is 1 in = 10 ft and each cross track needs to be exactly 4 ft apart and the winding track has several twist and turns over a 200 in range. Because each twist and turn is made to both accomplish the turning of the track as well as to avoid obstacles, using the radius tool may not always be the best bet. In an ideal world the best way would be to take a strait track and distribute the cross tracks at 4 ft increments and then try to bend the track. However this would cause other problems and throw off the scale. The best way would be to align the perpendicular lines to the curvature of the track. Now if the track had several "S" turns, odd angled curves, or complex reverse turns, it would take forever to space the tracks evenly and cross tracks at equal distances all along the track even when using the radius tool or building in sections and then merging lines.
If there was a way to evenly space lines along a curved guide then I would not need to spend hours setting up radius and drawing lines that need to be deleted or cut short. Equal spaced lines can be accomplished along a straight line using the Align/Distribute function. Though this still has problems when distributing along angles let alone along a curve.
I am trying to somewhat avoid the radius function and lean more towards shaping a compound image set between two parallel lines and one or more perpendicular lines.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Applying Sliding Connection For Wheel On Rail
Jan 4, 2013I'm trying to apply the right constraint in stress analysis environment.
How would I apply the right constraint? And to which face of the wheel or axle should I apply the constraint to get right results.
If I'm applying the sliding connection to the face of the wheel in z direction, the model will stop stress analysis with an error of "not enough constraints"
if I apply the sliding constraint to the inside of the wheel on the surface of the circle, I get the result as attached. I get 0 reaction in the Z direction which is wrong and should be zero reaction in x direction. How do I get it right?
The correct way to me would be a constraint that would only take forces in the -Y direction, same direction as gravity.
The wheel should not have any other reaction than in the Y direction. Hoe do I define that constraint? In my model the wheel are free to rotate on the axle.
I'm attaching both the general arrangement and the reaction report.
AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: How To Center Array Picket On Top Rail
Nov 29, 2012I have created an elevation of a railing with stretch and array actions, however I have not been able to figure out how to center the array'd picket on the top rail. I've added a move action to the main picket in order to manually center after the railing has been stretched between the two posts...however I'd love to have this automatically centered.
(I originally thought I could have the main picket stretch at 0.5 (so it would be centered), then array in two directions, however there is no angle option on an array paramater).

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCad 3D :: Spiral Stairs Hand Rail Heavy Model
May 13, 2012NO, I don't have any problem with making a helical hand rail along the circumference of a spiral stairway (or helical stair stringer)!
My only problem is that the method which gives the best visual results (viz. extrude or sweep circle or region along spline) will give a "HEAVY" solid model that HINDERS the performance of AUTOCAD.
Therefore I mostly use the extrusion along a 3D-polyline that gives a a lighter model but less nice visual results (especially when using flatshot for 2D model "representation").
Can I set some system parameters that increase the performance when extrude or sweep along a spline ?
Standard I use a lot of blocks to increase the 3D perfomance of AUTOCAD, this however is not possible when a visual continuous hand rail is preferred.
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Generate Guide Rail To Control Twist
Sep 18, 2012I am trying to model a forged steel table base so I can create some tooling to reproduce it. See the attached photo of the base. I am able to sweep along my 3D projected sketch path but there is a twist at the center that I believe I need a guide rail to control. I have tried to draw a rail but it fails.
I suspect I am not drawing my guide rail correctly as to create the slight twist. I was considering drawing a shallow helix along the 3d sweep path but not sure that this is the best direction to head next. I have attached the .ipt with the sweep (without guide path being used).

Aug 16, 2007I've been playing around with photoshop quite a bit these days and I can now make some image that I find really nice... But actually, I'd like to make my images more "Realistic" since they always looks like some drawn stuff.
To be more specific, I'd like to make the images I draw look more realist. For exemple, I draw some sunglasses yesterday, they were nice, but they had a pretty drawn look. Or another exemple, I tried to make a kind of game menu with a screen on the right side and the different parts on the left side, just as if it was a true game menu. To get it a little bit realist, I had to take a metalic wall already made and use it... Also, the effects were not really good looking IMO.
So actually, I don't have a good idea concerning where should I start for this "Realistic path". I searched some tutorials on the web, but the results were not really what I can call "Good tutorials", lack of explanation is a curse.
