On Tool Palletes

1. do you know that you can add all your blocks located in the Design Center or even your blocks of libraries located on some different folder to your Tool Palettes.

- go to your Design Center ( Ctrl + 2)
- browse down your files of the blocks or even the existing autocad blocks
- right click on that file then hit Create Tool Palette



- open your Tool Palettes ( Ctrl + 3) , the blocks / libraries are now
available on the tool palettes windows



2. Adding blocks libraries on Tool Palettes - in case you need a more specific line up or collection of blocks, say all furnitures. You can add it directly to your Tool Palette.

- open you tool palette, right click to some area of that dialog box, then hit New Palette. Rename it say Furnitures.



- while your file is open having some of the blocks you need on that collection, select the blocks and drag it to the palette windows. dont hold the blocks on its grips ( small blue box).



- your new palette will now have you block collection



- if you accidentally drag unnecessary blocks, just right click on it, then delete



- you can even have all your dimension and text collection. so you dont have to create one everytime you want to make a drawing. same procedure with the blocks. highlight any dimension or text you want then drag it to the new pallete ( say dimension). rename it after once it goes to the palletes so you can easily see what you need



Next is blocks and blocks attributes...

Thanks for this Sir Rendermaster.....very helpful!

Salamat master...

well explained

Annotating Text and Dimension

This procedure will explain text and dimension annotation

1. So here is a simple plan, basically you have to create separate layers for both dimension and text label



2. Make the dimension and the text annotative





3. Isolate dimension layer, select it all, press Control 1 to show object properties. Under Misc, make Annotative YES








4. Do the same things with text label. Under Misc, go to annotative scale and browse down for the list of scale you prefer.
If not on the list, press Add and add the scale, you can as many scale as you want



5. Now go to Paperspace and establish your template. Create viewport or modify the existing one. Double click inside the viewport to make it active, then select the viewport scale you prefer.



6. Try to change scale and see the effect of annotated dimension and text.



Good luck!

Alligning Object to Path

So here is a simple tips on how to align an object to a certain path or shapes. We normally encounter this to an irregular shape or somewhat an irregular path or in a path without definite x and y direction.

Sample 1 - Oval Shape Table

1. Say we have this oval shape table and chair. We want to distribute that chair on the table side, one may think to copy the object and rotate it to make it perpendicular to the table, well then its okay. But here is one simple tips.

- make the chair as blocks ( watch for the base point of the block, because it will become the reference point when you distribute that object)



- first offset the table line ( for the distance of the chair to the table)



- Command: Divide ( then select the offset line)
Enter the number of segments or [Block]: B
Enter name of block to insert: 1
Align block with object? [Yes/No] : Y
Enter the number of segments: 12

- then erase the offset line


Another sample - Bench to be distributed along the pathwalk side

Sir render master pano ba gumawa ng terrain sa autocad Possible ba ito Pano yung pinakasimple way Salamat in advance

1. create your terrain line (closed polyline)
2. stablished elevation for each line base on your terrain data
3. then command loft....select the upper part down to the lowest one ( or vice versa)

wow bilis salamat sir render master imba ka talaga maraming salamt sa pagtulong sa mga katulad kong nagsisimula palang

Text Style Tips

Normally when we create a text style we dont put any amount on the text height, we just remain as it is = 0.0. so when we use this text style on my dimention style, we can overide its height.

if you put a text height on your text style, you cant overide it on the dimension text style height, it will become fixed. see illustration.

I normally use Loft command in modelling a terrain. See example below

TERRAIN MODELLING (Loft Command)

1. Establish all your contour requirement
2. Set its elevation, you can do it by highlighting the contour line, press Ctrl 1 to show its properties, under elevation, type the amount base on your given data.



Do the same for the remaining contour.



3. Turn on isometric mode or in perspective mode to have a clear view of what you are doing. Activate your modelling tools



4. After establishing the elevation of each contour, go to your modelling tools and select Loft.



5. On Lofting procedure, dont select the contour in a random manner



6. Select in a proper order, from top to bottom or vice versa



7. And here is now the finish product.



Good luck!

note: you can import/filelink your autocad contour lines to 3d max and can do terrain there under Compound -->> Terrain.
