Nick Williamson replied to Glenn Grubbs, AIA, LEEDap's discussion '3d shape'

Glenn I have been a bit busy but here is a quick description. 1. Create the selected profile in a front elevation view. 2. Extrude it half the total length you need. (in elevation) 3. Go to the left or right elevation and create the…

Nick Williamson replied to Derek Ashby's discussion 'Hidden Textures'

Derek I think it's a file problem. I have copied and pasted a couple of layers into a new file and everything seems OK. This is often a good work around if the thing refuses to co-operate. Do not simply make a copy of the original file, but…

Nick Williamson replied to Mark Miller's discussion 'Textures applied to walls'

Sky As an addendum to my previous. You could always apply a hatch to a rectangle, choose the 'None' option for the line and then export the hatch as an image using the Marquee option. Bring the resultant image in as a new texture via the…

Nick Williamson replied to Mark Miller's discussion 'Textures applied to walls'

1. Yes 2. Viewports will always update automatically and if the elevations are 2D then all hatches and patterns will update. If you are generating elevations from a 3D model then a texture solution has to be found (as Bob has pointed out) 3. Nick

Nick Williamson replied to Mark Miller's discussion 'Textures applied to walls'

Hatches and patterns only work on 2D objects. A possible work around would be to convert the viewport to lines (Modify>Convert>Convert To Lines) and then compose selected lines to create polygons which you can then apply hatches to (you may…

Nick Williamson replied to Mark Miller's discussion 'Textures applied to walls'

Sky How are you generating the elevations? Is it from a 3D model or are they straightforward 2D drawings? Nick
