    Set Cube onto its point

    in Solids Modeling

    Posted

    Hi.

    I would be grateful if someone could tell me how I can stand a design cube onto its point. I have design the six sides of the cube and grouped them. I now need to stand the cube onto it point. I have going round this issue for the last 6 hours using every tool to carry this out with success. It would be great to know the sequence to complete my design.

    Best wishes

    Keyboard shortcuts on MacBook Pro

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Hi everyone.

    Can anyone tell me how I can generate keyboard shortcuts on my MacBook Pro when I am out of the office. 

    I know Control Five will give me top plan view but I don't have a shortcut for an isometric view. I find its a pain to go to the top of the screen click on the Current Screen arrow to list the different views and then have to go through the entire process again if I want to then show the design in a different ISO view.

     

    Any help will be much appreciated.

    MacBook Pro shortcut keys.

    I have updated my iMac to the latest MacBook Pro and its very frustrating to have to go the long way round to show a client an isometric view. With the amount of designs now using high-end portable hubs can the engineers look and attach short cuts without a design having to take additional things like desktop keyboards and mice etc?

    An update will be very much appreciated.

    Thank

    Is my Apple Imac good enough now?

    Many thanks to all.

    Your information has been so helpful. I shall sit and go through BIM courses and get up to date on thjis.

     

    Once I source the MacBook Pro with M1 Pro chip and after I have used it on some big designs I will put up my findings. It may be all down to the amount of plant renditions of real plants rather than a few that looks about OK. I usually have to use a real plant and then use Photoshop to cut out the background. This is mind boggling in time but I think its worth it.

     

    Sincere thanks again.

    Hi Guys.

    My sincere thanks for all your feedback.

    To tell you from my side I am becoming slower each year based on memory decline (mine not VW or IT.)

     

    I find keeping up with new tools and having to sit and viewing new university courses to find a way to create one thing more than enough out of my day. It may be 'cos I don't use BIM much but working using the the tools I have used over the years. My files are usually over 1.2 GB and I render 10 - 12 camera views in Final Renderworks which are printed and sent to the client to mull over.

     

    This is why I am trying to find a solution to stop looking at a roundabout so long. This is why I am looking at the MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip.

    If I am getting this the wrong way round I look forward to any ideas.

    Hi.

    I am as passionate with my Vectorworks Landscape as I am with my Apple. The trouble is that rendering my plans in a final Renderworks imagery with its full planting areas I some have to wait 20 minutes for it to render.

    I purge my files and to generate an image to show my client is now such a slog.

    I use a 2015 iMac with 4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, 32 Ram and AMD Radeon R9 M395X 4 GB.

    Apple tells me I ought to upgrade to the new MacBook Pro and then it will generate things so fast I won't even have time to think.

    Does anyone have experience of this?

     

    I would be grateful for any feedback.

    Hi Matt and Tom.

    Sorry Guys I am using 2022 and your image doesn't look anything like my Landscape in 2022. I have tried everything now without success. I can't find a demo in University so am a bit beaten so to speak. If you have any other ideas they will be appreciated.

     

    Many thanks

    If you Command-K instead (Modify>Convert>Convert to Group) it will convert the PIO to Extrudes

    Hi Tom.

    Many thanks for your comments. I will follow your instructions. I am sure with yours and the diagram from To I will sort it out.

     

    Many thanks

    Gable roof ends will not render texture

    in Site Design

    Posted

    Hi Alan

    My sincere thank for coming back to me. I have always changed the roof element textures through the Object Info Pallet, as I can stipulate which textures for the different elements. I have followed your advice in the 3 textures under the classes section but it still does not correct the gable ends for the basic solid colour to the brick texture I need. Do you have any other ideas? Your help will be much appreciated.

     

    Thanks Ken
