Do you have an example of what you're trying to achieve?

Wireframe - Front view - Data Visualization
grant_PD replied to Cristiano Alves's topic in Entertainment
This is a very good tutorial on Data Vis. https://www.andybroomell.com/masterclass-data-visualization It's hard to tell from your post, if you are having trouble w/ plan views or front elevations. -
@Dave Donley that's a big improvement, and really helpful info!
-
Also a little disappointed that your image you gave to DallE looks nothing like the end result. Both are fails in my opinion.

Soft Shadows in Redshift Exterior Final
grant_PD replied to MGuilfoile's question in Troubleshooting
@Kevin K yes, I could. These were for quick concepts and I was wanting to produce renders in seconds. Redshift is fast, but I actually wanted to be faster and a little more loose with the lighting. -
Soft Shadows in Redshift Exterior Final
grant_PD replied to MGuilfoile's question in Troubleshooting
Seems possible on my side. I just rendered in redshift these two images, there is only the background (same as yours) and 1 directional light. I turned the soft shadows option off on one, there is a clear difference. -
Soft Shadows in Redshift Exterior Final
grant_PD replied to MGuilfoile's question in Troubleshooting
If it's an exterior, have you tried environment lighting using a background? That usually gives pretty good results. -
when I open the AI visualizer, the dialog box is blank?
grant_PD replied to grant_PD's topic in AI Visualizer
I updated my cloud services and am good to go. -
Did I start it up to soon?

@rDesign definitely helpful. I'm so curious as when I look back at my previous renders there clearly were reflections and such. I'm going to try to rebuild the file and see where the gremlin lurks.
-
dropped the dpi settings down and still no luck. I'm wondering if it's a memory issue. I have a lot of very high resolution textures in the file.
-
@Dave Donley I will send you the file shortly.
-
same all across the board. I thought it might be the dpi settings (I'm at 600) but changing it does nothing.
-
What's going on here? In my model space I get more saturation, reflections, etc. In the viewports I'm getting washed out, no reflections.

So playing with the callout tool, I can turn off the bubble, and turn off the leader and the arrow, which just gives me the text. So I guess you could have a bunch of these callouts laid out for your notes, but you wouldn't get your asterisks unless you manually entered them, or had them as part of the note. There is a setting to make the first 21 characters of the note be the description, that might help you find them... It would seem like the best thing (I didn't say the fastest thing) would be for VW to allow for a "General Notes Style" where you get to dictate the formatting.

I've been playing around with wall components, and built a wall style that has a rough cornice set at the top. I can't get the cornice to show up as dashed lines though, I always have this black bounding line. If I turn off the lineweight in the attributes, all of the lines disappear. What am I doing wrong? You can see here I've set the cornice lineweight and graphic to magenta and dashed... ?

How to create a shared Favorites or Workgroup file?
grant_PD replied to KWiley's topic in General Discussion
I would check the VW documentation first, they are pretty clear abt workgroup folders (which is what you want). The file structure is going to be the same as each user's preference folder, which in the pc world is in appdata. You can find the location when you edit VW preferences and look at the "user folder" section. Bad things can happen if you don't keep the folder layout the same as your user folder layout, so you are basically copying the whole thing and putting it on a cloud or server for everyone to access, and renaming the top folder something like "workgroup folder." Everyone needs to add that new folder using their VW preferences, user folder dialog, then restart their software. The workgroup will show up in the resource manager, and you will see any files that are not the default files in your user folders. Your library folder is going to be where you put your favorite models and such. Everyone will have access to it so you can: -reference in an object, which will update if others update the original -import the object, which will be your own copy and not affect the original -open the file directly from the resource manager, make changes and save it, thus updating everyone's referenced objects if you changed them. You can also put plugins into the plugin folder, which can be very helpful if you have a field machine and an office machine, as they will get their plugins from the workgroup folder instead of the user folder. Hope that helps! -
@Kevin Allen close as in you could use it to replace old school surveying with a tape measure? Or to augment it? I've used matterport and it seems to work well, helpful for those "Crap I forgot to measure that one thing" moment. I still want a laser and a tape measure though. I'm more interested in the room plan feature rather than the photo to 3D. I would use that for putting a chair in a render, probably just as you would.

Forgot to mention, you should make sure your graphics card drivers are up to date if you're getting issues. 9 times out of ten if I'm having a bad VW day, it's because my driver wants to be updated. The other 1 time, it'll be bad geometry....

I've never even considered RAM clock speed when buying computers. Photoshop and your browser will hog a lot of RAM, and also VRAM. I would think you would be better off with more RAM, regardless of the speed.
