I am building a logo and as a part of that I want to have an image of the earth like the Mozilla, firefox logo, but I need a complete image of the earth to start with.
how I would go about creating such an image. Should I start with and actual photo of the earth? What kind of filters should I research to create a globe similar (though not necessarily the same colour) to the firefox logo.
I am teaching myself Illustrator CS6 and have just created a complex image on one layer (contains about 145 different elements).
I now want to simplifuy the image so that I can use the 'knife tool' to cut and move a segment of the image (imagine an expanded pie chart).
I know how to convert the image so that instead of just one layer with multiple paths... I can have every element on its own seperate layer... but I can't find a way of flattening the layers in to one simple image.
I'm trying to create a "blue glow/light rays" around an image of the planet Earth and I can't just seem to make it look realistic like this image here:
How to do this technique? You can find a planet earth image by searching for NASA BLUE MARBLE and it's free.
I just installed 2013 on my pc yesterday. The first task I was given was to import a Google Earth image into AutoCAD to try to get some dimensions on a house for an exhibit. I open Google Earth and set my location to import, then I go to the Render tab, select Set Location, I click Import the current location from Google Earth, click Continue, then i get an error message saying Class not registered.

I have done that with 2008 but can't do it in 2012.The image from google earth has dimensions on it so it would be easy to scale properly to my drawing. So I would like to be able to put it on my dwg. I don't know what (tags means on this page. Also I have saved the image on my computer and I have tried to show it on this post but don't know how.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to import a surface and Image from Google Earth. Basically my steps are as follows:
start GE and C3D find area that I need on GE and zoom in under C3D, insert GE Image and Surface (then it goes straight into select point, and rotation)
Like most discussions i've read.., the import slows down at 49%, and then it chugs for hours if I let it. So i have to cut the cord and re-start both programs.
I saw in a discussion that there are settings that we can change the rows and columns to something like 70x70.
however.... I cannot find where to update this. I typed importgesurface, and clicked on the ribbon as well..., then tried to right click, but it does not take me to the settings. I also figured that I might have to run C3d as admin, but no luck either.
find these settings so I can change them to import a surface and image that is about 15acres?

I want to take a google or bing map along with its different zoom levels and convert it into an autoCAD image.
Is this possible without using 3rd party software?
The end goal is to essentially have a replica of google-maps in terms of zooming and detail, + the ability for me to add links to the map which take me to different pages/areas of the map.
The best I have been able to come up wtih so far is taking screen captures at various zoom levels and attempting to vectorize the images OR taking screen caps at different zooms and spanning between different zooms via page switching creating the illusion of zooming, both of which are adequate as far as functionality is concerned, but I want things the design to be a little more robust if possible.
I have no problem bringing my google earth image and surface into autocad civil 3d 2011...but when I do bring it in the elevations are not correct...I'm bringing in a google image that have an island over water.... the units are wrong even though i changes to units in autocad...what do I have to do in order for google earth to import the correct elevation into autocad civil 3d 2011 ?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have modeled a building that's a typical shoe box (rectangular shape building).
When I searched the address in Google earth, the true north of the site is not perpendicular to the building: it's angled.
When I chose "Acquire from Google earth" at the Site level, it gave me exactly what I saw in Google earth.
My question is:
I have finished the model of the building in Revit which doesn't align with what I acquired from Google earth. How do you align the model to the Google earth image? Do you have to literally rotate the entire building to align the Google earth image?
Also is there a difference between Google earth and Google earth pro for this task?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use Create Simplified part and during the creation process..I downloaded a model of a FD breaker off the Eaton Website in .stp format. I am simply trying to get a .ipt file of the model for my layout model.So the steps I did:
1- Open .stp file
2- Save .stp file as an .iam inventor file (ignore the prompt box "this is not a part file", that is from my logic rule for a part file)
3- once saved in inventor format, I click the simplify tab, select create simplified part, select a name and directory and press save
4- the .iam saves into a single part, BUT it is saved as sean.ipt, not the part number I assigned earlier and it is saved to the directory C:Users, not the directory I assigned in the dialogue box earlier.
Why does it do this every time I "dummy" down an assembly to a single .ipt file?
I'm trying to create a simplied part of a conveyor. It's not too big yet, just over 7000 occurrences - see attached. Yesterday after about 5 hours I crashed Inventor (2014) and tried again. Eventually I let my PC run through the night and this morning it had completed the task. To save took almost 2 hours, producing an *.IPT of just over 830MB. When I restarted my machine (to free the RAM again) I could not open, getting a serious error.
The old shrinkwraps seemed to work way better. I need to create a "dummy" model which breaks all links to the originals assemblies so no one can tamper with it.

I have a user who needs to be able to enter Chinese characters into AutoCAD 2010. The characters display properly in Windows, but AutoCAD cannot recognize them. I believe I need a language pack. Where can I find the official 2010 AutoCAD language packs? I don't see them in Subscription.

I need to open a 4 page PDF that was originally created in word in Simplified Chinese. But when I open the PDF in Illustrator with Simplified Chinese open, some of the characters change. My client in the past has had success outlining the chinese before she sends. But it is no longer working for some reason. How can I match what I see on the PDF without having to convert it to a rastered image.?

I would expect it to.
I've seen some pictures that's so "earth" looking (ie. reddish yellow, with all the other channels greatly reduced), quite like it.
Does anyone here know if there's any Variations file (.ava) available to filter an image to get that look. I've tried many option, such as reduce Saturation from repective channels, different variation... But not successful.
I would like to simplify this assembly into one seamless part for FEM calculation:The assembly consists out of parts that, in reality, will be welded together. Due to their form, there is no way to place them exactly onto each other, therefore there are slight gaps between the parts:
Now when I try to merge the assembly into one part via "simplify" --> "create simplified part" and choose "single solid body with seams between planar faces merged", Inventor does not fill these gaps (even though it displays only one part in the bottom right corner of my window). Unfortunately, the remaining gaps brings "contact" problems in the FEM simulation.
how to close the gaps and really merge the assembly into one part?

"could not use clone stamp because content of layer is not directly editable"
Is there a way to make the earth into a heart shape?

I'd like to do a grading in order to get a volume of earth work needed. It's a very easy proposed surface, but I've never done a grading before. I have a surface that is basically a football field that is graded from one end zone to the other with a slight uphill grade. At the end of the uphill grade is a berm the length of the endzone. That berm needs to be higher, and the uphill grade from endzone to the other endzone needs to be flatter. The dirt that comes out of the flattening will be pushed up on top of the berm on the opposite endzone to make the berm taller.
The new surface should start at existing grade on the low endzone, go on .10% up to the other goaline, then on a 2:1 up to 24 ft above the low endzone elevation. Think of a firing range where you shoot from the low endzone into a berm on the far endzone. The berm isn't tall enough, so they need to find dirt from the surface to put on top of the berm.
