Ok great , my post was actually directed at Rich  who offered the File .....

Mick my man, you are honest to a fault. 

I was one of apparently only three who bought the

latest available version from Charles. As I recall

shortly after that the trail to Kerry Francis went cold.

With him unavailable and/or unresponding I don't 

have a problem passing it along (for free) to interested

parties.

If someone finds a current source, then by all means

go that route. It was well worth the $20 asking price

I paid.

@basilbabaa, I forgot to attach the symbol

so here it is if you can use it.

GDW Test Door.calibz

I don't want to step on anybody's toes, but if

this software is no longer being offered for

sale, I don't have a problem with giving it out

to people who would like it. It's just a small

(6.3 Mb) executable file.

You might also have a play with the "Hide Camera

Facing Exterior Walls" feature. Depending on where

the small area is (near an exterior wall) you can back

off the camera.

Search the forum for the Garage Door Wizard.

I think mine look better. You can't get the turns (2" and 4" rads) in CA IMO as easy as I do in SU. No Plugins, Just the Push Pull tool. Takes a couple minutes. Not only that, (not that I've tried) I don't think you can change direction from for example, an A elbow to a B elbow in one shot.

You can accomplish what you need from within

Chief using 3D molding polylines and creating

your own molding cross sections for different

downspout styles. Here are some examples

from way back in X6 & X7.

You will want to look under "clerestory".

A 2D image of a vanity would probably be a tough

sell in a 3D view (given placement of the image and

camera angles, etc.), but I often incorporate 2D pics

into 3D views.

Similar to what Graham's doing in his example, in

this image the leaded, beveled and frosted glass in

the front door is a photo of the actual front door glass

and the young lady is also a 2D image.

In the spirit of Shelter-in-place and Social Distancing

I thought I would share where I have been holing up.

It may not look too impressive, but it has a surprising

amount of amenities.  

Looks like a delivery truck tie-down issue. 

Well I say let's get them back again, dadgummit. 

On a similar note how long have we been

able to rescind / revoke / reverse / remove,

dare I say undo reputation points we have

previously given out?

Not sure I care for this feature. I'm more of 

"a card laid is a card played" type of guy.

Hi Alan , maybe just a bad Pic and I didn't download the Symbol but it looks like the part of the toilet bowl under the Flush valve is corrupt /broken to me?

 

M.

 

For now the workaround is to be sure to be wearing galoshes. 

Hey Eric. Thanks for taking a look at this.

I couldn't get the viewer to work. When I

drag in a calibz file nothing happens.

I don't think this approach (or Glenn's

which I also tried) is going to accomplish 

what I need because I don't get an image

of the item itself. I want to see a preview

like what is displayed in the Library Browser.

So, over time I have accumulated a sizable

folder of calibz files that I mainly downloaded 

here on the forum. I never actually imported

them into my User Catalog because that's 

already bloated. How the heck can I preview

these files to determine if I want to import

them or not? As you can see from the image

there is no preview available in the Import

Library Data DBX.

....Baraca the Black Rhino and I became friends....

 

Dude! Are we supposed to believe that 

those 2 strands (of what is that, twine)

are going to stop a charging rhino? Yikes!

I went ahead and opened your plan in X11

and opened camera #2. Unfortunately there

are some missing textures but I went ahead

and ran a 5 pass ray trace without touching

any of the settings.

I then opened the X11 plan in X12 and ran

a second ray trace. As you can see, for me,

the images are essentially the same and the

levels of light seem the same.

...The moral of this story is to avoid PDFs in the Layout.  Use JPGs whenever possible.

Just curious Joe, would converting your PDF's to PNG files yield better print quality?

why would they only be available for a limited time?

When you think about it, everything is only available for a limited time.

Thanks for the Heads up as I think I missed them in 2018 and 2019. 

 

M.

Hey Mick, it looks like you can download the ones you missed if you really want them.

We are happy to be working on your behalf again with the release of our latest utility - Home Accessories. 

Actually it's called House Accessories.

... I got cut off for a while there but I got back in later, not sure what happened.

How did you get back in Perry?

I got a window saying the session had been ended

right when Scott was trying to hand the screen view

over to someone who had a terrain issue. Couldn't

get past the message without exiting. When I tried

to use the original link in the email to connect again

it said the meeting ID was no longer any good and

I was SOL.

Low-tech man here... I assume this requires participants to have a microphone?

You can follow along ok without a mic,

you just won't be able to be heard by

others (of course you need a speaker 

to hear others). As I recall you can type

in responses but don't hold me to that. 

Just get yourself a cheapo headset and

you'll be good to go.

I think a more appropriate title for this topic would be:

How do you like them apples?

Does anyone know what the best tool to use for 360 exterior fly around/over is?  I know if you use the line tool for the interior you can get the camera to go room to room using the camera record tool.  What Im looking for is a 360 rotate around the exterior of the house and maybe different heights like maybe the camera starts at the first floor and by the time it circles back around to the starting point it might be up closer to the third floor for a complete view?

Here is a simple walkthrough path that accomplishes what you are attempting to do.

I completely agree. I have tried to point everything to use the Nvidia but to no success. Is it possible that I may have to remove the onboard card?

While I have never actually tried this approach,

you could try disabling the onboard card using

the Window's "Device Manager". This back-up

computer only has one video card so only one

adapter shows in the attached image, but your

Device Manager should show both of your

Display Adapters. Select the one you don't want

and hit the Disable button.

Looks good on paper.
