Revit :: Windows Disappear Behind Trees When Printed?
Jan 2, 2014
I'm have an issue where my windows disappear behind my tree outline when I print. The trees are default revit deciduous trees. I have overridden element to make it 100% Transparent. Also I have tried to override it in visibility Graphics. [URL] ... Is this a problem with Revit 2014. This happens with both our paper printer, our plotter and adobe pdf so we know that its not a specific printer issue. Also it only happens in hidden line mode when changed to realistic mode, the windows print.
I have attached views of a printed to pdf view with the windows missing and a revit view of the same drawing before sent to the printer. As you can see it looks correct in my revit view.
I have a site plan with trees which look like two crossed planes when looked in 3D black and white. I wonder if there is a way to smooth these trees so they look smooth at least during the time that I prepare a PDF of the black and white 3D Site Plan. If this setting can be reverted to the crossed trees after preparing the PDF, that is fine. Also at this time I am working with black and white 3D, so color is not an issue, only the smoothness of the trees. Is there a setting that can make these trees look smooth?
Has it ever been discussed if it is possible to make the Revit callouts (sections, details, etc.) hyperlinks to those views when printed to PDF? I have added hyperlinks to PDF sets using Bluebeam and Acrobat, but it would be great if that was standard output from Revit.
I'm rather puzzled with what happened to my Photoshop, i'm using Adobe Photoshop CS6 on a Windows 7 64 bit Notebook.when i'm in the office, it's docked at its station and connect to a larger monitor (via standard VGA plug on the dock) and i use both monitor (not closing the lid on the notebook) today, i had a spare monitor around that i can use, i plug it through the Displayport plug on the dock, it's all working fine, all three monitor display the desktop.
but when i load up photoshop, making new files or opening existing files, there is nothing in the screen although the layer panel shows there is something there.when i unplug the new monitor, everything back to normal.
I'm finding that my presets are disappearing a few minutes after launching the program. I checked and have installed my presets in the proper folder where it would look for them. I see them when I grab the handle on the left and everything drags up or down. But I begin to two finger drag up and down, the handle on the left stays put and the presets drag up out of sight and a large, blank gap appears below. I've also had it where the presets have disappeared and have had to relaunch LR5 to get them back.
We have Win 7 clients connecting to a SBS 2003 server. When using files marked as "make available offline" the computer status shows as being offline when the file listed as needing to be synced. This is when the laptops are connected to the network. This makes the file unavailable to other users. They do not even appear in a directory listing. If they do a Save As, that file appears immediately. This is only happening with the Autocad files. MS Office files work just fine. How can I make the laptops realize that they are online and connected to the server? I read about transparent caching but that seems to be available only on server 2008.
As soon as I click on the main screen, my toolbox and every windows disappear. I must click one after one again and again. I use 2.8.2. and Win7. It is very troublesome. What can I do?
I have some Plumbing "Fixtures" that aren't showing up when the plan is printed. In the view they are visible, but in the print they disappear as if to be covered up by the wall. Unless the "Fixture" is slightly outside of the wall then it will show up. What could be causing this? The fixtures that we're using are simply model lines that form a circle since they're only there to hold a place in a schedule for its info.
So as you can see the dots are visible but when I go to print they disappear...
Just upgraded to REVIT 2013 and now many types of lines are not visible on screen- randomly it seems. Also, sometimes they don't print, either. I've tried increasing the fineness of the view, changing the material definitions, etc. Most often this is happenning when I have opened an old file and had it automatically update the file. Also, it seems to happen within asurface texture, but it is not limited to that circumstance.
I drew some internal walls before adding a floor slab. After adding the floor slab the walls disappeared in plan. I can see them in 3D, in the correct place, but not in plan.
The floor slab is in the right position. To fix the problem I redrew them all, but why did they disappear and how do I prevent it from happening again?
I click on my wall, drag the end of a witness line to a new point and the whole thing disappears, preventing me from changing the value of the witness line.I'd like to be able to add a witness line.
How come pieces of a model disappear when I try to edit the model?As you can see here there is a base to this counter.When I edit the counter in place, because it was modeled in place the base disappears? What's going on?
a user i work with reports that during some commands (not the same) on some jobs his contextual menu dispears.
I've already run the recommended "UIreset" process a few timesI've updated his graphics card drivers to the certified drivers for that card.he has a robust windows 7 64 bit setup. His latest example was in the DI command the context menu dispeared that lets him controls linear/alinghed etc etc.
Certain exterior walls ghost out / disappear in plan when hosting a split face. This doesn't happen on all walls, and it suddenly appears on walls that were performing fine.
What Revit 2012 setting makes walls and floors disappear when rendering is selected?
I have a Revit 8.1 project that renderes the model just fine. When I import it into Revit 2010 it also remders the model but I have to reassign the custom finishes. But when I upgrade it to 2012 and render - the walls and floors are suddenly missing!
I'm looking for some particular brushes and haven't had any luck finding any. I make aerial view illustrations of housing and commercial developments. Usually I am hand coloring them and scanning them into Photoshop for clean-up and text. Lately, however, we are wanting to do all the coloring in Photoshop and Illustrator which brings me to my problem. Since the linework is Autocad based, the trees look really bad (fake), so I'm trying to find tree brushes. I've been able to find plenty of brushes for elevation views, but I need aerial views. Has anyone run across any? We're currently using PS7, but I'm really close to getting CS2 out of them.
does anyone know how to do the Fantasy Trees effect? I don't know exactly what it was but it was an effect that sort of made the tree look like a feathered-out painting, its almost like it made all the lines smooth.
I created some trees in Photoshop and created an opacity map for them, but for some reason when I place the trees in 3ds max they appear very washed out and bleached above the horizon line. I am using Mental Ray physical sun for the sky.
I'm having an extremely hard time blending two photos. I have the following two photos which I want to blend: and
What I want to do is keep the sky from the second image. I want the border to be at the top of the trees. Now the edge of the trees is very uneven and difficult to select.
So I thought I would get around this by using a layer mask. To achieve this I took one of the images:
- desaturated it/turned it into monochrome/or decompose it - used either levels or curves to try and get us much contrast as possible
and then used the resulting image as a mask. Unfortunately what happens is I get what looks like chromatic abberation at the edge of the trees and sky. Look here:
How do i select the white sky in this photo without selecting any of the tree or leaves? I know it can be done with the "selecting tool" but it takes forever to do every little but of sky.
There has to be an easier way?
If it helps I have photoshop 7.0 & CS3.
I would like to use a brush tool and put some blue sky between it...
I'm trying to color a site plan and I'd like to add shadows to buildings and trees, but don't know how to go about it. Drop Shadow is not going to work--I need to do this somehow manually.
Is there any easy way to drag a node from one extreme to another of a very larges tree? In nuke we have a modifier key that sticks the node at the cursor while you browse in the tree.
In the smoke you have to take the node, drag the window to the end, drop, drag a tree, grab the node, drag . Is there any method, modifier key, parameter in preferences.
I imported trees using Civil View which are images projected on planes. I was wondering if its possible to get the shadows more realistic? It currently displays the plane shadows which are 2 planes crossed in the shape of an "X". I also noticed on others' systems their tree objects are more 3d and not images draped on planes. Is this due to graphics card?
I am using C3D 2012 and the feature "Project Objects into Multi. Section Views". The question I have is when I project a 3D tree block into the section it appears in the x-section in plan view only. How can I get the tree block to appear in the section in elevation view.
I am trying to add windows to the home I am designing. The glass should be in the middle of the wall cavity, but I don't know how to put it there. I have added windows from the "Fixed.rfa" family, but I can't get the glass to be in the center of the wall.
The image above is the window as it has currently been placed with the glass on the exterior (not middle).
Is it possible to have two different tags for windows? In some I'd want to see the description, and in others only the mark. It seems that I can only load one tag for windows at the time?
I installed Revit 2013 in my laptop, but always showed me an error and revit closed. I reinstalled the windows on my lap top and downloaded revit again (Students version) but in the window installer don't appear enable the revit option.
I am making a fiction map. I want a fast way to drop down mountains and trees and any repeating landscape. I figured a good way to do this would be to draw said tree or mountains and then set it to a brush preset, add some size jitter and spacing.
It works well except for 1 problem. The brush drops down images that are vaguely transparent so when 1 mountain overlaps another, it creates an overlay that looks horrible. As if the brush is 50% opaque.
