Might also be worth checking the styles menu (window->styles) as somethignmight have gone astray there. Other than that i cant really think what it might be

Kriscidious's tutorials are good; and ultimately you will need some very good model organization: Make your floor plan a component. What you include in that component depends on the flexibility you want/need. You can Copy that floor plan component off to the side and edit it, after your edits are finished, erase it, your plan in the house will be changed as long as you didn't select "make unique". there are other ways too but this technique is consistent for me.

Thanks Pete, nice useful additions to the library

Very possible. I assume you are talking about .max files right? Do you have 3D max? If not then i guess not because even if you have a convertor like Deep exploration which can convert a .max to a .skp in one action it still requires 3D max to initialize in the background to adhere to licensing. If indeed you do have 3D max then open the model in Max and save it as a .3ds and import into SU.

@galiaf, youve dredged up an ancient thread. Curiously no one has addressed Gaeius's question. If right click is used for Orbit, how does one acess the Context menu?

@unknownuser said: When I select File>Export>2D Drawing and select the DWG file type, the DWG file origin is placed at the center point of my current view in SU. There's the problem then - I exported it in parallell projection, and it is, as shown earlier a 2D shape. Well, well. I'll go over to the CNC-guys and program the router directly instead, at least for now. Next time I'll guess I'll better come up with a sollution Thanks everyone, for your input and everything! // Olle

Assuming you want to keep the section cut -- Use the Section icon "display section plane" to toggle display of the transparent plane. There is also an icon that toggles display of the section cut.

i dont know. it seems i've tried everything but i will keep trying, maybe its my browser or graphics card or something. i will keep modeling and just hope eventually they will go away and i dont have to redo all my models. thanks

hmmm, if you go to view->face style, which option have you got checked? Normally it should be 'shaded with textures'

John, NO. You should not pay extra for the exporters - practically they are the only difference between Free and Pro. Unfortunately I'm on a PC (Windows) so I'm a bit stumped here but if you have installed the Pro version onto your computer (and again - install the Pro version!), there should be a place to enter your license info. That's it and no other problems.

Hello Susan Well, it is almost closing time here too. Means it´s prolly deep in the middle of the night at your place. Thanks for the tip with attachment. I guess I was just too warped around work to see the tree in the woods. I´ll attach the data, then. Hmmm. Too big to attach. I´ll provide a new working link then. http://www.notneededanymore.com/emptypromise Anybody else got a guess or a tip? I´d hate having to start over again. Wolf

Yes I have the same in all DWG exports: The units get exported right ( 1 mm in SU = 1 unit in the DWG file) BUT the scale flags in the DWG file all have Imperial values (Measurement, for instance, is set to 0), so if you have your AutoCad set up to recognize the scale values (as per default), everything gets imported 25.4 times too big. I already posted a bug report about this some weeks ago. Anssi

I think this may answer my question, http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=435938

Thank you all. I will give these suggestions all a try. Thank you for the info!

Yes, I got the same impression, Lewis. But I wouldn't be surprised if someone figures out a way of parsing the 3Dxml file to 3ds or whatever before too long. I thought the Convention was excellent...well, apart from cancelling the shuttle buses and causing queues for the taxis that took hours to clear. Thank God for the T. Sorry I missed you too. I haven't been to Boston for years...well before the Big Dig...Wow! but it's changed some. It always amazes me how quickly the thing gets dismantled. They were rolling up the carpets past our booth within 5 minutes of the final whistle. When we went back Sunday morning the entire place looked like the last shot from the first Indiana Jones movie...just a giant hall filled with packing crates.

Love it..
