ok guys,

2 pics attached

1st.   pic of the correct building placement on the plot (this is a jpg pic in the plan layout)

2nd.  pic of two images, (a- top) the correct image at 0/90* in the layout plan and shown in the 3D view. (this is ok)

                                       (b- bottom image of the angled (166.12°) distorted image of the layout plan and shown in 3D (not ok)

any idea guy's ?

yes Michael, have kept it on a flat surface at a 0/90* angle, then when i rotated it, the distortion comes in

thanks guys.

have gone down the path you said Glenn, it works but is distorted when i orbit the view. not sure if i went down that way before but it does jog my memory, though, i didn't have the distortion problem before.

will check out the video Curt.

thanks again guys.

have a good what ever your side

thanks Michael, but can not get my jpg pic to show on any of these direction.

please check out attachment of what i did before last year sometime, but have forgotten how i did it, and a pic of a CA presentation.

hi guys,

please jog my memory on how to see my topographic or jpg pic image under my 3D view.
have done it twice but can't get it together again.

but I'm interested in any other ideas that can come out of this

thanks guys

hi guy's.

just some suggested website that you might find interesting.

you can sign up free and get regular info every couple of days that you could copy to an interesting fold doc for your own inspiration.

(but guys, only copy what  you might find interesting, otherwise, you could end up with lots that you don't need)

have a great what-ever all.

anyone having a problem to download the CA X8 18.3.0.47 update?

yes SRCDesigns, nice idea, and shouldn't be difficult to work out.

so graham, i think that this issue of quote, the (need to operate Chief simultaneous for short periods they allow for this even if you only have a single user license.)

sounds good so could you enlighten us on how to go about this situation please. thks mate

CA, were is your comment?

strange non licensed persons can place plans into the authorities in this period of time, and even stranger is that it seems to be in the US (or maybe not so strange thinking about it further.) 

BS (British Standards) seem to be world wide, and licensed Architect/Draftsmen and Engineers must submit signed plans to the authorities for approval. 

yes mate, your pricing doesn't sound correct, but many factors have to be considered.

of which i would agree with Michael from Alaska,

i have attached some PDF docs for all to check out, which might be of some interest or help to you guys.

and please forward to others who may be up and coming into the profession.

have a great weekend all. 

and guys have fun up in the mountains. sounds to cold for me though

yes Rod, i was thinking that what we need is to produce a hologram or physical model that all can see, around a table or whatever for example.

the idea is for us to get across our presentations clean smoothly and to capture an interest and should be mobile on top of that.

thanks for you info and thoughts mate, great for us to get that

Richard, sounds like we are interested on your follow up on that, please keep us up to date mate, great and thanks.

Larry, thanks for info. great your thinking on how to go forward, much appreciated.  

we are interested in how you going to get about this, and for us all to see.

Microsoft Hololens (head gear) functioning is being push at the moment, problem with that is that only one person can play/experiment/ view at a time.

not sure how good it would be for us to present our presentations though, but we are all ears and eyes to finding out how we can work this deal

great guys, love it. keep coming. lets make a great future

so Larry,

what sort of size is it and can you put any image from your pc on at any time?

is it visual from a head set? or can it be seen by many people as the same time?

and hippy from the 60's, yep

is there anybody.... out there listing to my stor...y

ok guys, you had to off been a hippy from the 60's to get that one.

so what i would like to know is there anyone out there presenting their work with either;-

1- a holographic plate (holograms)

2- 3D printed models

so guys.

i'm throwing 20 ideas in the Suggestion Forum.

some have been posted last year, and some are new.

go check out guys 

hi guys,

was there something set up for CA X8 Ideas. (wish list)

i thought i saw something someplace started.

i'm coming with some already asked request and some new request.

stay informed guys. 

interesting. have you made the hull walls?

thanks for info guys.

i'm new to this holographic deal, so i'm check things out on line first.

but i want to see it physically before i buy what ever, but i want something soon for presentations.

Dubai is close to me and cheaper than most places. Singapore also not so far from me. 

but i have i connection with Europe and go there quite often,

so these are my options of where to look and were to buy.

has anyone else used holographic boards for presentation?

has anyone else used 3D printers for presentation?

my SSA license is due next month and i'm wondering if it is worth renewing or not.

i like CA, but they are not coming through with what i think are the important issues. 

ok  mate, but i'm still looking into the idea, and will do something in the weeks coming.

i might go to Europe and go to a company dealing with it, and see how its done, (that a new deal for me)

will keep you guys posted. 

have fun

ok guys, 

jon, the only thing i had to do with the sign was to un-block it, then it got rid of the problem.

found another problem which i took out, and now have got my 3Ds for a holographic model.

now whats interesting is that i imported my 3Ds project into CA X6 (on test) of which i didn't realize before. (CA X7 to CA X6)

and works great guys, though it is a symbol form and i can't change anything, but great for other model ideas.

we have learnt something guys.

have a great evening my side of the world and a great day on the west side of the world

.have fun

you could also try a Wacom companion 2 is out. more expensive but quality. depends on what quality and versatility you want.

the site above looks ok, but if your doing work in that line, every company has their own criteria of which you would have to smooth-en out in your new building layouts and work your expert-ease in existing building layouts.

yes guys i have unblock the signs and it seems to pass but there are other things that seem to be blocking now

jon, this SBC sign is note a symbol. its just plain 3D text from the CA library

pic attached.

but yes you are correct when saying that the software is telling me what the offending object/symbol is--"SBC Entran".

cheers mate
