I am doing a duplex home and need to paint the walls in diferent finish materials, but this command doesn't apply materials externally to the group editor, so when I enter to edit the group, both unit are painted equal.

The problem is when i note a door ina group as left and the same door in the mirrored apt needs to be right it keeps the same note for each door as it thinks the group in not mirrored.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have several window types in my project. Let's say that the window is 3'-0" wide by 4'-8" high - Mark #1. I want to group three of these windows and schedule the group as Mark #2 - not three separate #1 windows. How do I set up the three windows together to become a single window schedulable for the entire opening of the three windows grouped together so that the opening would read 9'-0" wide?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to host a face-based family to another family, and then group them together. I have tried hosting to the item itself, and also creating a separate group where the items are hosted to the floor, grouped, and then the group elevation set to the height I need. In both situations, I'm seeing rotation issues - certain instances of the face-based family will rotate to the set degree, and others will remain in their original position. (see attached) The only other option I have is to nest the face-based family into the host family, but that is not how I would like this to work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a project containing 4 similar groups, which were mirrored and went through the "Fix Groups" error. I think I made them unique to avoid ungrouping.
The issue I'm having now is that one of these groups has a couple doors in it that once existed in the design and are now no longer necessary. However, they were deleted at some point, but still exist when I highlight over the group (the first attachment shows an overlapping door highlighted in red and the purple location has a set of double doors--see second attachment). No amount of tabbing will allow me to delete them and I can't ungroup them. Do I need to just start over with a similar group? Or can I somehow find these doors and delete them?
I am having a problem with copy/paste of drafting elements (detail lines, detail items) from one view to another. Basically, I am copying a detail of section created in a ‘Drafting View’ onto an actual wall ‘Section View’. Then I receive an error message that cannot be ignored saying [Cannot paste view-specific elements from different views]. So I am not sure what is happening. The elements that I am copying and pasting are mainly drafting work.
I also noticed that copy/paste part of the drafted work sometimes work. But when I copy the whole drafted work from ‘Drafted View’ to ‘Section View. It gives me the error!!
I've created a small group of concrete reinforcing detail components that have graphic overrides to change solid black to solid grey. When I copy the objects or place new groups made from the objects, the graphic overrides reset to original all black.
Is there anyway to get the graphic overrides, which are embedded in the group, to copy into new intances of the group so that I don't have to "undo group" and apply new graphic overrides?
Having some very strange issues with area boundaries used in groups.
I have tested it in RAC 2011, 2012 and 2013 and they all seem to be doing similar things.
grouping them and pasting them is fine - even between levels and even schemes. when i edit them items are excluded on sketch close and even disappear from one scheme to only appear in the scheme that i edited them in. the area still remains in both but only boundaries in one scheme.
there is probably a simple solution to this but I am stuggling to create a paint group in CS of multiple paths. I have been stuck with doing some work on Illustrator 11, and not familiar with these old versions. I am a CS4-6 user and am used to the select all paths.... Live Paint ... good to go.What is the procedure in the earlier versions ? E.g., a compound path required ?

For the first month or so using PSP X4 I thought you couldn't open Properties and adjust blend ranges on entire layer groups, but it turns out I can if I open Properties from the menu. There is no context menu entry! What is with that, Corel? Minor UI issue but would be a nice inclusion.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have pictures that have different objects over a canvas like/un uniform back ground.
I need to remove that background without any part of the objects them self.
I mange to get most of the background out using the magic wand , but i'm left with many random single/groups of noise pixels left in the picture since they were not captured with the magic wand.
most of the time i can remove those using the eraser or use the selection tools with different shapes around the pixels and press delete.
but those methods take lots of time, specially around a complex objects and as i'm getting near to them, i need to make my selections/eraser radius smaller and smaller.
I have tried to use a plugin called "Reduce Noise" that i found , but it does not work.
faster way how to remove this noise pixels without any part of the objects?
a plugin that "scans" the image/selected area and remove all pixels that are surrounded by transparency in it?
p.s I can't always select only the object/s itself/them self and just move it/them to a new picture.
p.s.2 maybe a plugin that the user can choose up to what size, a group of pixels, should be removed ?
I create all of my lineart for illustrations, in Adobe Illustrator. I use the pen tool in combination with the line width tool to create line weight. Once I have completed all of the line work, I select everything and Expand. This results in not having fills for teh areas of the illustration which need to be colored.
From there, what I do is select everything > livepaint > make. I then fill in each area with a base color, using the live paint bucket tool. Once completed, I again select everything > expand. This leaves me fills that I can select indivually to apply gradients and work with directly.
This process works great until I expand the live paint group. After expanding, there is a very thin white border everywhere that two seperate colors meet. This only happens after expanding, it does not happen when it is still a live paint group. I have tried every option in the expand window, and get the same result.
I have exported the completed work in several formats ( .jpg, eps, .png ) and the lines are still there.
I just learned (after 16 years...) that it's been possible to drill down through successive compound objects within groups without using the new V7 feature "Edit inside".
I'd always used Ctrl+Click within a group to select the object in it I want, but could never select just a group that was within--only a single object. But apparently Ctrl+Click is only intended to select the bottom-most (leaf) object of the group (tree). If instead you use Ctrl+Alt+Click, you can click through each level of a group.
So for example if you made two groups of 3 objects and then grouped the two groups together, you can select the whole group first, then one of the other groups within, then one of the objects within that group.
I can't believe I didn't know this. Shows what I know. And what amazes me more is that I didn't figure it out given that you can Alt+Click to select through overlapping objects.
Is there any way to turn on a command dialog box for Revit architecture 2012?Whenever I try to perform any knd of command from the "ribbon bar", I don't know the status of the command until I ht cancel and see what the command may or may not have done.
I noticed that, whenever I enter a command (such as "place a component"), I have to hit "cancel" TWICE to get out of it. Seems strange; I would expect to see an "end" command, instead of "cancel" (which implies exiting without doing anything). Or maybe I'm just going nuts trying to learn Revit.
I am having a problem with the show hidden line command, because when used in the project I can see dashed lines and continuous lines. I was looking for how to manage the line pattern in this command but there is no way to do it.
See the attached image of my problem.
still on this family quality control audit... i've come across some new and entertaining behavior.
several fmailies (face based) flip host sides with their flip controls as expected, but if i mirror them , instead of flipping along the mirror line as an accurate reflection, they ALSO flip top to bottom, AND around the face.
the right family in both views is the original, the left is the new mirror. (plan and elevation views in wire frame included) you can see it landed within the wall, and upsidedown.
I've selected Symbolic lines for a family. I draw them and after importing them into the model I notice they're model lines for some odd reason. But when I go into the family and select the model lines the Convert command is greyed out.. What is causing this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I use the Object Removal Tool and after removing the last object I can't cancel or clear the command. The dotted selection box around the object selected remains on the screen. "Esc" doesn't do anything. After doing a crop I can right click on the screen and a dialogue box opens up allowing me to clear the screen of the grid, but that doesn't seem to work with the Object Removal Tool. I think I've read everything I can find, but I'm not seeing the answer. I watched a video on the command, but it didn't show how the command was canceled.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWhy is the Transparency command window in the Clone Tool property bar so narrow? By comparison, the window for the Feather command next to it is twice the size. The reason for the moan is because my display is set to 110% as I like to see slightly larger text but I've had to go down to 100% because I can only see one complete digit in that tiny little window.
Is there any way to make it a touch wider so I can see two digits without a problem?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe're trying to draw a railing using the Revit railing command. The issue that's coming up is that we want the balusters to be placed outwards from the center (as in there's a post in the middle of the span) and the remainders at the end posts are whatever they end up being. One of the runs is small enough that the 5' baluster spacing is centered at the space (as if Revit insists on having at least a 5' space in there and it looks like this: | | | | ). What we've done for now is to tell it to space the balusters exactly the distance from center point to each end (like this: | | | ), but that means we'll have to make a new railing family for each run and that's very inefficient. Is there any way to specify what we mean by center justification?
View 4 Replies View RelatedMaterial takeoff: As paint and other related calculations
I’m wondering why no values where calculated for the field “Material: as paint”! As for the “area” and “volume” calculation, they sound to be false, for example, the area of plaster board should be 0.02*1.84 but not 0.32*1.84! What might be false there?
I am working on a project doing cost estimating and product specification for interiors. First project ever using Revit!
In my "Wall Finish Schedule" I need to show the finish material, the Area (SF) and cost. For tile on the wall I have created basic walls which works great. For my painted walls I used the split face tool and applied the material with the paint tool. Double checking the SF calculations for the applied paint - they are incorrect and seem to calculate the whole wall instead of the split area with material applied.
What is the best solution to properly apply wall materials so they schedule properly?
Best way to quickly paint materials on the surfaces of a linked file? We need it for documentation of our interiors. Paint does not work through to the linked surfaces.
