    Black & White Printing

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    I thought the Document Preferences / B&W was for screen viewing only. I will have to go try this.

    My second problem is that what i thought was a "rigging point" is actually a 2d Loci. Any suggestion to print those or insert a symbol onto each one i have in a drawing?? There is about 600.

    If you have anything above Fundamentals, the Batch Print and Batch Export (PDF) allow you to set each "page" of the export/print to be either color or black/white.

    The other option is to go into Document Preferences and select the Black & White Only check box and then do your print or export.

    Need to trim 45deg angle on extrude

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hello all,

    I have done the following,

    used the angle tool and created the size I wanted,

    then Convert To Group,

    then I extrude that to 4'.

    I now need to make the ends have a 45deg angle.

    I have tried to Trim and Clip Surface, both did not work.

    Help? Did I even create the 3d Angle properly? Is there an easier way?

    Thanks in advance

    3d text

    Hi Drew,

    I don't believe you can see a 3D Poly fill without rendering. Unrendered 3D objects are always displayed in wireframe.

    Raymond

    You are correct. But i need to find a workaround without rendering. at least for text!

    3d text

    So i want to have 3d text in my drawing and in some of my 3d only symbols.

    I have done the TrueType to Polyline & then Extrude or Convert to 3d Poly. But my problem is that when it becomes 3d the fill goes away. I want the fill to show in the letters without rendering the drawing.

    How do i do this??

    Recomended Plotters

    Does Nemetschek have any recommended plotters?

    We are using VW 12.5 Designer and mostly on Macs. Looking for something that will print all sizes including 'E' Size and the majority of what is being printed is technical drawings not rendered images. Some days our print load is 15 different sheets with multiple copies.

    We currently have a HP 1055cm (it is old and slow) and was looking into a HP 4500MFP.

    Thanks.

    Grouping & Classes

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I am trying to group a bunch of symbols and then change the CLASS of the the new group, but somewhere along the way i had the dialog box come up and i must have selected 'Change all items in group'

    How do i switch that back? I only want the group as a certain class, not all the items in the group.

    Thanks,

    Drew

    Chain Link Fence

    in Architecture

    Posted

    I have already created the fence i need by the painstakingly process of extruding, polylines, and 45 deg rotations. I unfortunately cannot use the line extrude with texture for two reasons, 1- with this extrude you cannot see thru the fence, 2- most of the drawings i work on we do not render and therefor the texture would not show up.

    I was hoping there was a Fence Tool much like the Wall Tool that would make life simple. Especially when desgining landscape, what do most people do?? Create a fence from scratch? I know you can make a Roadway & a Guardrail, but no fence? Please tell me i am wrong.

    Robert, maybe this is something that can be on the "In The Near future" list.

    Thanks

    What is the best way to make a chain link fence? i need to make a 6' high fence line with posts spaced every 20'. It also has a 12' swinging door section.

    AND of course in 3d. I did a search in the fourms and have not found much.

    Thanks
