Hey Chiefers...can anyone make a tile texture like this? I was thinking that i could make a 3d object of tile and just apply it to walls...but maybe there is a better way? Inmetro_productsheet.pdf

I have adopted Agency Fb for all my text. I agree blueprint has had its day and now is old school. Because Agency Fb is compact it looks ok to do all caps if this is your choice. What do you guys think?

I have played around with substance player to make a few tile textures. I quite often use watercolour renderings to present my designs with lines. Here are some of the ones i have used, I prefer to have single lines for the texture over tile but in herringbone i cant use the ca as it is only 2-1 size, the hex i cant get to line up with the material? But the hex tile seems to have a really thick grout line and in pbr rendering it has really rough grout lines, Dustin is there an issue with the hex tile in substance player?

Hi Dustin, this is kind of ornate but there are a few tiles that have a design inside them..triangle, hex example that would be great to have. I also think that if there is a way to adjust grout thickness that would be great, i think its too thin right now, if I had a 3x12 subway tile the grout line would typically be about 1/8" thick and it looks like the substance player is thinner than that? Is there a way to get more texture in a tile..here are some subway tiles i have personally used, lots of bumps that reflect light quite nice, not sure if chief can replicate this kind of texture. Also subway tile comes in a variety of ratio's, like 4 to 1 etc but you substance player only goes to 3 to 1,

OMG .. just found this tread.. I can’t believe it’s been around so long. Great work Dustin. Would this work to produce these kind of tiles?

I am going to see what buildings are already modelled in 3D warehouse for the surrounding area and perhaps I will just export my chief model and import it into sketchup and then into google earth,.i found YouTube video on how to do this using sketchup. So in the end not use a drone photo. Using a flat picture of area doesn’t really work because there are tall buildings around and the one I need to model is 15 stories high.

Yes it would.. this is for a proposed structure in downtown Calgary, Alberta Canada.. some tall towers around

Anyone have some suggestions on how to insert a ca model into a birds eye camera picture? It will have some high rise buildings in the picture.

I just uploaded ios13.2.. still seems like Apple is limiting motion access in safari for 360’s here is a post from an auto desk forum that shows how they could request this motion access.. CA? https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/rendering-forum/ios-13-removes-blanket-motion-amp-orientation-access-panoramas/td-p/9086967

Graham, i will keep an eye on it and report back...thanks again for both your help...most appreciative. Cheers

Well ..hallelujah...i disconnected external monitor as suggested, rebooted laptop, started chief up...and now its using nvidia..yay!! I hooked back up external monitor and it is still using nvidia ... I made sure my laptop was set to the main monitor...not sure it this will matter... i have display set to multiple monitors.. Thanks for all your help here...it is an older laptop but i need to use this for a while yet.. so appreciate your help. Cheers.

Hey Mick, i added model to my signature now... it doesn't seem like there is a new driver since 2016? PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_191B&SUBSYS_10391025&REV_06 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_191B&SUBSYS_10391025 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_191B&CC_030000 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_191B&CC_0300

mick here is what i have on this...looks like it hasnt been updated for a while..

Hi Mick, thanks for this, i loaded both high and ultimate onto laptop and rebooted...its still showing the intel video card... Do you adjust any other nvidia card options? I guess next step is to chat with CA...sometimes they are not as technical as forum guys like yourself...unless there is anything else to try.

I tried but there was only one option to chose from.. no MaX power option?

i went to intel and had them scan my system and it says its up to date... I changed power setting in nvidia as shown.. I only have one power setting to choose from not the ultimate power setting.. so it still shows intel driver...

i went to display adapters and made sure the intel driver was up to date and it was...does it make sense to reinstall chief? would i lose anything..

graham, what is a power plans?

Mick you are right..it looks like its using intel driver

i changed the opengl to the nvidia...here is a snipit of the display driver

Yes i did this but ca still does not recognize the latest version?

I have just updated the nvidia driver on my laptop and it shows in the nvidia control panel but Chief is still showing a driver from 2016, i have rebooted laptop, not sure what i need to do. Anyone have a suggestion?

Hey Michael, if one was to use the grid profiles to produce the most accurate 3d model, would you drop a bunch of panels inside the grid and then drop lights etc inside grid as well? You have a number of options you suggest, what way do you usually do this? I have a client does leasehold improvements and i want to show it both on plan and in 3d to reflect what is currently going on.

So I spoke to ca today and they say they know nothing about ios13 not working for 360’s and don’t really seem to care. Am I the only one that shares 360’s to iPhone users? Is there some other way to make the motion work on ios13? i sure would like if any others are seeing this issue or is it just me?

I will try this.. how would I create fields?
