[Hardscape Rendering in Isometric and 3D views]

I'd appreciate a hint on this too... Can anyone help?

I am changing the render via the Object Info Palette, but it has no effect on the 3D view of the model.

Thanks Jonathan

Any brilliant suggestions on rendering hardscape objects in 3D views? Anything set in 2D seems to vanish. Unlike wall objects which can have textures applied in 3D views, hardscapes seem to just sit there and stare at me in bland greyness.. I'd be grateful for any suggestions - even if it's just "RTFM".

Thanks

Hmm- I've come into this a little late - but it seems to me that the answer has to be to retain the underlying polygon... You can dimension this and then copy all of the underlying polys onto a new layer for your setting out plan.

Me - I'm struggling with rendering hardscape once it in is in 3D mode...

[Plant Tags: Constrain Angle of Leaders?]

Aha! I think I just stumbled on the solution to the angles... Are you using the shift key to try to constrain the angle? I was and it doesn't work.

HOWEVER, if you have constraints set to ON in the palette, then use the resize cursor on the joint of the leader line, you can watch for the SmartCursor Cues and they seem to work for me. However,the Tag Class is the bit to work on for line thickness etc.

This helps with line weight etc. But is there a way to constrain the angle of the leader on the plant tag. Using the shift key, there is a class set up which is applied, the angle contraint setting is on in the constraints palette. The SmartCues don't seem to relate to the angle that results with the leader.

This is exactly the question I was about to ask... Any ideas gratefully received! I can see leaders, and even try to follow the SmartCues - but it just doesn't seem to do it. Please can you help us?
