ThruPaint sounds perfect, going to try it now, thanks for the pbacot. I make some of my models in GtkRadiant (used for q3, similar to hammer for hl1/source), and export as OBJ.

@unknownuser said: I love Apple and own all the mobile devices, an iMac and several Mac Pros for my home, but in the pipeline for my work…there isn’t one Mac. It can’t run Autodesk 3D Studio Max, Fume FX, or CUDA so I’m still waiting. I hope that in the future Apple will remedy this situation so that a Mac Pro can be found everywhere without any limitations. —- AKIKO ASHLEY That pretty much sums it up for me. It would be a no-brainer if the thing had even moderately good Nvidia cards in it. It's so frustrating that Apple (and almost everyone else) views 'Pro' consumers as video editors. I'm a pro; I make a living sitting in front of many many pixels creating stuff, stuff that actually gets built into real things. The conclusion my better half (who's machine would shame anyone* on here) and I came to is that I buy another Retina Macbook Pro and build a monster powerful PC to use as a render slave. *I dare you step up to her hardware

My apologies, and fear not I'll never darken your threads again.

I had this issue earlier this year, I found that by ridding Google from my life and my computer I was able to get the service back - I was getting odd error messages saying the service was not available for my region (NZ)

If you add a section-plane inside a group or component [by editing the 'container']... then it only cuts what is in that context - in this case just the walls. If you add a section-plane in the model itself it will cut everything.

Strange... It appears to be back to normal...Fingers Crossed.

Make hundreds if you wish.

Uh, that's because you can't make a two column toolbar. If you had actually read what I wrote, you'd have seen I covered that.

...and there it is. Always nice when someone points you in the right direction. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum! You should have a look at your dot key, it might be broken...

an image would help to understand the problem did you try to use a higher resolution for the export?

Unfortunately that's for an earlier driver version. The big thing is that the new version does not even have the choices for Navigation Modes in Advanced Settings!!

I manged to get it to work. My revit model had other revit files linked into it that hadn't been bound, once bound and un grouped they exported fine. Thanks for your help though.

can you post an example?

@x1l3nt said: To color lines I've been using Window > Styles > edit > edges > color set to by material and then using the paint bucket tool but for some reason this is no longer working for me, I must have changed a setting or something, help would be appreciated thanks! You may have changed scenes to one that hasn't "by material" saved. So edges are black again without noticing that you changed back the style to "edges color all the same".

@box said: With Profile builder create the profile of the paint line then select all the lines you want to be those paint lines and use the Build along path (follow me)option. It will say I can't find a path do you want individual ones, say yes and it will do it for you no matter how long the lines are or at what angle. i will try this, thank you! It worked- thank YOU!!

Also, there is a shortcut for creating a new layer while you are inside the Entity Info window. You can just type the new layer name inside the Layer: field and press enter to move the selected entity into the new layer without having to create the new layer first. Just us jiminy and Dave suggested: A best practice is to draw all your individual entities on Layer 0 and leave them there. Only after you turn individual entities into groups or components you should associate those groups or components with different layers. When you look at the Layers window the radio button should always be on for the Layer0 and never on for any other layer. Just use the visibility check boxes to enable and disable a particular layer visibility.
