Revit :: 2014 - Interior Lights Button Not Working?
May 9, 2013
I am doing a trial of Revit 2014. Usually I get the student version, but I enjoy 30 days with no stamp. I want to do some night renders, and so I dropped in studio lights that aren't showing up at all in the "sun and artifical" render.
I go to adjust the lights with the "Artificial Lights" button and nothing. No response at all. It's like a fake button that just looks like it's being clicked.
As a Realtor I need to be able to show both exterior views through windows as well as the interior space. I have a Sony cybershot camera but cannot find any settings to allow for this. Is there a way to correct photos on Photoshop?....or do I need a special camera/lens or what?
why my interior rendering scenes just show up black. I have opened up projects from previous releases that I was able to get interior scenes to render correctly and they render fine in 2013. I've imported the modified fixtures to the current projects file and they still don't do anything. The scene I'm talking about has a ceiling modeled on the underside of a floor. I've read this may be an issue, but my light fixtures light source is to be 1/4" above the plane of the ceiling. In my case, it's a 5/8" layer of drywall.
I have an interior amphiteather with stepped concrete steps and a bottom lower slab, which are recessed and below the ground floor level of 0'-0".
Before adding the topography to the job, the steps layout and the lower salb showed on plan, but since adding the topography, the lower steps and the lower slab do not show. Cutting a section thru the amphiteather, the earth is seem to be above the lower steps and the lower slab.
How can I modify the earth in this interior area of thh building so the earth (and topography) is below the concrete steps and the lower slab? (so these recessed concrete floor elements could be seen in the plan of the building)
I have an exterior wall with plaster and lathe on the exterior, and gyp board on the inside. When I edit the wall structure, and modify the layers so that I can take the interior wall finish only up to the sheathing line, the wall does not join at the corners properly. It leaves a gap for the interior fininsh at a corner above the sheathing line when looking in 3d. What are you all doing with parpet walls and the interior finishes above the roof line?
I am trying to render using the recessed can lights and they light my rendering but the lights themselves don't look line they are emitting light. It looks odd. I have the same problem with some of my 2x4 fixtures where light does show on the floor but the lights themselves don't seem to be on.
Max Design 2014: Where in the world is the region render button? It's been ages since it was a default, but you could always get it by going to customize menu. Now there no longer seems to be a listing. Any simple region render button is still possible?
I just loaded 2014 onto a new computer and poof every custom toolbar has a question mark. Yet the image displays on the preview in the cui.
All of my button images are in a folder on my C: drive and that path is in the support file search path.
I went to one of the buttons and click on the small and large image and browsed to the folder with the BMP files and clicked it for both small and large.. And when I clicked 'ok' everything started to display correctly.
Custom Build with Win7 Pro 64Bit SP1 Gigabyte Tecohnology Co. X79-UD3 3.60 gigahertz Intel Core i7-3820 16GB GSkill Ripjaw Z PC3 2133 PC17000 PCI-E ATI FirePro V7800 2GB 256bit ATA SanDisk SDSSDX24 SCSI Disk Device (256 GB) Dell 2001FP and (2) 2407WFPHC Triple monitor setup
There is a Green Bar with 97% with a grey Cancel beside it that does nothing in the left hand corner of the toolbar continually visible when a project is open. When the project is closed this does not completely clear from the toolbar.
What is this? Why is it there? What does it mean? Why is it not 100%?
I recently migrated to the Inventor 2014 release and immediately encountered several issues.
One that I haven't found reported on this site is the problem related with the 3D mouse (3D connexion Space Navigator). I've been working with it beautifully with R2012-2013 but now that I started working on Inventor 2014 it stalls and stops working suddenly. It's so bad that I stopped using the 3D mouse entirely.

I uninstalled and re-installed the latest mouse drivers and checked that it's not the device malfunctioning. I also installed the Inventor update available on Autodesk site. No change...
So since I have had 2014 installed grease pencil only worked once and I have not changed anything. It just worked all of a sudden one start up, but prior to that and since it has not worked at all. Everything opens (the menu) and when I add a frame and select a brush that all works, but when using the mouse or Wacom tab it will not paint anything. I even upgraded to the latest drivers for the Wacom, but like I said the mouse wont work either.
Interesting find this morning. In C3D 2014, the MAPEXPORT asks to save the file name, give the file a name, and then nothing happens. I have done a repair and to no avail, nothing. The dialog box does not appear, and no file is created.
I'm using LR 5 Develop Module and I make a few adjustmnets and then click on the next photo and then click the "Previous" button but nothing happens. It did work the frist time I tried it and then occasionally it works, but most of the time it does nothing. Very frustrating as this is supposed to be a time-saver.the last photo I clicked on has chnages applied...then I click on next photo and click "previous."
I have just loaded Revit 2014, and then loaded a project file created in Revit 2013. When I try to render a view in the cloud I get an error message that says "The file could not be translated.-1" I have tried this with several projects and get the same error for all.
However if i create a new project in 2014 the render works fine, it only seams to be a problem when I upgrade a project from revit 2012 or 2013.
The program works fine until I try to edit the boundary of the topography. As soon as I click "edit boundary", the screen goes black for about an hour, then comes back with about 25% loaded. This cycle repeats until the loading is complete, so it takes me a few hours just to enter edit mode. The file is only 17, 280 KB, and Ive been running 240,000 KB files without an issue whatsoever.
The big problem is that when am doing whatever work, the program stop working and show a error message, that says: ERROR FATAL: Unhandled access violation writing 0x000 exception at 70601612h

I recently installed Inventor 2014. With Inventor 2013, I was able to do a Save Copy As on an IDW file to save it as either a DXF file or AutoCAD DWG file without any issues. In Inventor 2014, doing this produces the following dialog boxes in succession:
No DXF or DWG is produced. I tried doing this to a new, blank drawing from one of the default IDW templates and I get the same result. What can I do to fix this?
We use mandatory roaming profiles for our students and have done for some 14 years with all previous versions of our Autodesk products.
Now Inventor 2014 Pro (running on Windows 7 SP1 x64) will not open with a mandatory profile applied all I get is the new "Send AutoDesk your error box" Remove the mandatory profile and let the user create a local profile from the same default profile used to create the mandatory profile, Inventor works. The only clue I get to what might be happening is in the infocenter.log (within the Appdata section of the profile) where it states that the inventor.xml is not found. Without the mandatory applied the log is clear and the inventor.xml exists in the same folder.
I automatically updated last week for my 2014LT and since then the LAYERS hasn't worked properly. Layer Manger still seems to work correctly, but the Layers tab on the Home ribbon does not. I am running Windows 7 Ultra, Quad Core i7 with 16 MB of Ram, and had been running without errors until this last update.
When/if I select the "Freeze Layer" tab from the top ribbon, and then select the layer on the drawing it turns it off as it should, but if I then use the pull down to locate the layer and turn it back on, nothing happens. It does not appear again; it may not even show up now (see below). I found that if I go to LAYER MANAGER and turn on the layer it still doesn't turn on unless I turn it off and then back on; which will bring it back unfrozen. Also, some layers when frozen do not then show up on my pull-down list or LAYER MANAGER list unless I save the drawing and restart 2014LT. The layer then shows up on the Layer Manger and ribbon.?
Just love updates when everything was already working properly, and then they don't after the "Update"!
