Earl Benser Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I am a relatively inexperienced user and I am modeling my home as we explore some exterior upgrades. I have developed the model including some landscape plants (larger trees) but when i attempt to export into a JPG file the trees show up as criss-crossed planes. Here is the rendering in the design sheet Here is the JPG image Here are the settings Can anyone provide guidance on how to have the expoerted JPG look correct (like the rendered design sheet). Thanks in advance. ebenser... Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 are you exporting for the design layer? If so, try creating a sheet layer viewport and rendering/exporting for the sheet layer, Also, do those image props have a solid gray fill? Quote Link to comment
Earl Benser Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 I am exporting directly from the design layer. I am reviewing tutorial information on viewports and will seek to change the method to en export from the viewport. I will advise here on any progress. Quote Link to comment
Earl Benser Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 The objects/trees export as a pair of filled rectangles that appear dark grey in color Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 did you check to see if they have a solid fill in either a class assignment, or the attributes palette? Quote Link to comment
Earl Benser Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 I set up a sheet layer and viewport and rendered via Renderworks. I export to a JPG and it works just fine. I will check about the solid fill but this method will meet my needs. Next I want to better understand backgrounds so I have a custom lake image as the background - but that is another battle. Thanks for the help. ebenser.... Quote Link to comment
Earl Benser Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 The tree objects are 3D objects fromthe Vectorworks library called out as "Symbol/Plug-In Object" in the Resource Manager. They cannot be made to have a solid fill from within the Attributes tool. They revert to the "no fill" state. Are there better tree resources available? Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 they might have a class assigned to them, and the class might have a solid gray fill. Quote Link to comment
Earl Benser Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 The 3D objects have no fill and I changed the class attribute to be no fill - still will not export correctly Thanks for the help. ebenser... Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 can you send me the file? Class should have a solid, usually white fill. Quote Link to comment
