For some reason on certain cad files when linked into revit. when I hit the align button. the linked filed doesnt properly select the lines, it selects an area near the line, which causes it to not properly line up to the revit line work
Why isn’t my DWG link from one RVT visible when I link it into another? I.E. I link my site dwg into my Arch central and want the Site to be visible when I link the Arch into other files. I want the Arch to hold the Site link but be able to see the site when the arch in linked into other models. I could have sworn I have done this in the past but can’t get it to work now for some reason.
I inserted a CAD link "this view only" and I cannot now get it to turn on in any other view. I used this option so I would not have to hide it in every view. Now do I have to delete it and start over inserting it so it shows up everywhere?
I have a structural model linked into my architectural and I cannot seem to cut the link in sections. All I can see is the 'elevation' of the link whilst my architectural cuts. I have the link set as by host view and the view extents correct.
When I tag a Revit Link with a multi category tag I can't edit it. I need to give it a number so it can appear in my schedule. I have checked the "include elements in linked files"
I want to show a linked view from another proyect that has an underlay ceiling plan,I'm using By linked view option to show exactly the same view from the original project but the underlay RFP doesn't appear. I just want to show the outline of some skylight diffusers from the ceiling plan.
An architect sent me his revit file, it contains the full model and all the floor plan views and drawing sheets. He has floor plan views set up for each floor and some enlarged views as well. On each floor plan view each room has a tag that contains room name and room number and every door has a tag that contains the door number.
When I create a new file and link in his file so I can then start working, doing what we need to do, adding devices, etc. The problem is, the architect's room tags and door tags dont link in, and if they do I cant see them. I've gone through every possible combination in the visibility/graphics options to no avail.
Room and door info linking in should be a basic function of revit; how could autodesk expect mech, elec, plumbing engineers to create drawings that have zero room and door info?
ive recently started to work with DBLink and access 2013 to make take offs mainly. Today i made a small project to test some ideas and found an inconsistency between the material areas and the area of the element, a wall in this case, to which the material is apllied. I think they should be the same, or at least very close, but that´s not the case when i export to access. I've attached a image with a material takeoff schedule from revit and the correspondent query from access (element type name, element area, material name, material area, material volume, material area/element area). The revit one seems correct, but in access the material area values are very different. Initially i thought it would be due to units difference, like the material area were in sq cm and the element area in sq m, but the relationship between them isn´t 10, as you can see in the calculated value. Then i added the material volume to the schedule and query and the results on access are even more strange, i can´t even imagine where this values came from.
We are new to Revit, and have done a couple of projects in Revit. We have separate models for arch, mech and elect (no struct, this is done outside our office). We currently link models to each other as needed, the architect will link mech and elec. The mech eng. will link arch and elec and so on. Mention the use of a blank model onto which you link all models. I never got a chance to ask the individual how they use it or how it would benefit the process.
I am trying to put a URL link to a file in a components instance parameter, to show up in the properties palette, I can put the URL in there, but no link is established. How would I get this to link to the file?
I assigned my students to create lighting fixture family. I wanted them to create a drop-down list of materials within the family to allow a user to select from the list of materials. This is accomplished by using a nested family - the inserted family has the materials defined. The drop-down list appears just fine in the properties, but we aren't able to apply it to the extrusion. I have tried inserting each family type and using the Label parameter, but Revit won't allow the link.
Why masking region and filled region not working (bicome)transparent when I attach link file. If I hide the link file ,maskin region and filled region works fine. Visual style is hidden line.
I'm messing around with tables and data links, practicing. I copied a range of cells in Excel, and did paste special to create a linked table.
Now I can delete the table object, but I cannot delete the link, cannot detach it.
When in Data Manager if I right click on the data link and click delete I get the error message "The data link is being used and cannot be deleted".
I have tried detaching, and the detach does not seem to take.
Now also, the table will not update from the source xls.
Win XP, AcadLT 2011, Office 2010. Using compatible setting for saving spreadsheet, for Office 2007 (not xlsx).
If I create a linked table by starting with the Table icon, choose "from a data link", choose the excel spreadsheet, etc., then I am able to later update the table from the spreadsheet, detach, delete the link, etc. But I can only delete the link if the table is not selected when I open the Data Link Manager.
But the one that was created following the directions from the Autocad video, with the copy, paste special, that link will not detach nor delete.

Issue: After a fresh restart of my PC Photoshop will function as normal for a short while (1hr appx.) after that it ceases to import/export or do any of it's intended functions. I CANNOT import ANY files. I am not presented with any error messages and it simply doesn't work. Buttons appear to highlight and the toolbars are still accessible, however I cannot continue with my work. If I then restart my computer it will function for a short while again then this will happen.
Things I have done: Reinstalled Photoshop CS6 Deleted Preferences (Multiple Times) Contacted Adobe Support in which case they failed to fix the problem.
I have photoshop CS5 and recently my zoom is malfunctioning. I draw on adobe, and more of the time when I zoomed and zoomed out my images still look consistant and smooth. Yesterday, my zoom at 33.3 and 66.7% isn't properly functioning. It distorts the pixels at these zooms, which makes it difficult to see and draw. It used to never do this, and I also didn't change anything in my photoshop to cause a change. Is there anyway I can reset the zoom how it was before? Or reset photoshop?
I have installed Photoshop CS3 Extended on my PC (Pentium 4, 3 Ghz, 1GB RAM). The program loads fine and I can use the adjustments (levels, hue, filters, etc). When I attempt to use the Clone stamp tool, It does not work. If I push the "Alt" key and click the mouse, I get the cross-hairs like you are supposed to, but when I release the "Alt" key, it does not clone anything. The circle and the + signs follow the mouse, but no cloning is done. Also, with the Healing brush, it goes thru the motions (round paint brush), but does not leave the dark trace when the mouse is clicked and held. So when released, no healing is done. I have Photoshop Elements 6.0 on the same computer and it works properly. I have tried un-installing/re-installing; deactivate and repair,
I have attempted to download Photoshop CS6 Extended trial, however, once the install is completed, it's just the standard version. WHERE can I download the Extended Version?
I have CS4 and am unable to use the wand tool as it used to work.I've checked the color picker settings, and it is always set to point sample, and STILL does this. I've checked and unchecked the anti-alias, contiguous, and sample all layers boxes and set them to every possible combination of the three. I've set the tolerance level to multiple numbers and it does not affect the fact that it selects like this. In fact, setting the tolerance and checking either anti-alias or contiguous does NOT affect how it selects, and it will always select like this. I've found that it is selecting EVERY color/line created, regardless of opacity of the line. I've reset the tool multiple times, reset the color picker multiple times, and reset all tools several times. No affect.
I've tried asking on Tumblr AND on deviantART and have asked Google multiple times since the issue rose, and have seen several fixes for similar problems (none of them exactly like this, as far as I could tell). I've also even gone into the AppData file and deleted the .psp file.
I've changed settings around in Photoshop, and it doesn't seem to affect anything. I really need to use the Magic Wand tool for my artwork, to select shapes in individual layers, so that I may shade them. Another problem with the selection is that whatever I select is aliased, despite the "anti-alias" box being checked.
I realize that I can use the "select pixels" option that shows up when I right click a layer, and it produces the same effect the wand tool ONCE had, but I'm used to using the wand. I'll be using the select pixels option for now.
I have a problem with my scanner canonscan lide 100, when i try to scan directly from coreldraw, acquire image function seems diabled, this problem starts when i changed my os to 64bit, i've downloaded 64bit driver for my scanner but still acquire image function don't work.
The Screen Capture feature did function at one time. Currently, the Screen Capture feature in not functioning for unknown reasons and, I'm not sure for how long it's been non-operational. The icon is available but when I click on it, nothing happens. I contacted Corel who suggested updating DirectX, Microsoft Visual C++ 2010, Microsoft NET Framework 4 web installer, and all critical Windows updates and re-try, which I did, and nothing changed. Also, if I re-install the software, does that affect my currently saved projects? Will VSP X5 be able to locate the media files I've utilized in the projects?
Running Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP Professional 160GB; 77GB Free
All of a sudden after more than a year functioning fine my clone stamp tool stopped working. Everything else is working fine. I reinstalled CS3 and the tool worked fine then, after a reboot, it stopped working again.
I am not supertech knowledgeable, so other than running a complete scan with my anti-virus program and a Windows Defender scan, neither of which identified any problems, I'm at a loss.
I have installed the trial version cs3. When I run the program it says, that the licence for this product isn't functioning anymore. I have to deinstall and reinstall or go to the adminstrator. I deinstalled it and installed it as a administrator. Same error. I am running this on Vista.
After upgrading to Extreme 5 I cannot make animated segments. Is there something else I need to install? The Frame Gallery is grayed out. On my previous version it was always available whenever I opened the program.
I just switched from max 2011 to 2012 yesterday. when i am poly modeling, pressing 1-5 changes the selection from vertex, face etc.. , but re-pressing the number key doesn't de-select the sub-object lvl, i have to click the icon to deselect all. Is there some option i'm missing?
I have used image transparency successfully in the past . However, now I'm having to result to clipping to get rid of the white background within the frame. I have no results with jpg, gif, tiff, bmp, etc.
Is there a setting that may prevent the transparency from functioning?
