Make sure level zero says provides floor for leve above.

I am not sure to be honest Alan , but that looks like the expected result to me? what did you want?

 

M.

I agree with Mick,  that is what I would expect,  what do you want?

Yeah,  once you change the floor level to 0" and not 1",  it will read  correctly.

I am not sure if I agree with "DON'TUSE MOLITHICSETTING",

blower a couple screen shots of my settings.

Scott,

 

Try using any browser that is not Safari and it should look much better. Safari doesn't support the modern version of WebGL which is used for rendering the scene in 3D Viewer.  This is why the anti aliasing isn't working.

 

Thanks

Yep,  that did it,  thanks Brian.  Firefox worked.  Now I remember why I kept Firefox on the 'puter.

Nice call Mark.

Screen shots taken on the 2k monitor-screen shot of your forum post- what I see is the anti-aliasing is not doing it's job

Next is a screen shot from your viewer linked model taken on the 2K in windows, (rendering technique selected, view shadows and anti-aliasing) Browser used is Firefox.

then another where I went in and adjusted all the Stucco 1 materials to be the same then merged them (your plan materials really need some housekeeping) then exported model to chief viewer (windows) No difference

Finally here is a link to the viewer file used for the last image.

Wonder if the web browser matters?

 

Attached is a screen shot from the viewer file you provided me with.  Not very good.  I agree that it appears that the anti-aliasing is not doing its job.

Thanks Larry, I think yours looks better than mine. On my Mac it does not look as good as I remember it and on my iPad it does not look as good.

In fact on my iPad I cannot toggle the shadows on and off because when I press the radio button,  it does not stick. (on either of my iPads).  On my Mac,  I can toggle the shadows on and off.

Hey Scott, looks like Dave's views (above) are RT's from his RTX 3070 video card not the 3D viewer. Not so much apples to apples. How are you generating that picture view? Perhaps I could generate something similar for you to compare, if that might help.

Hi Larry,  here is a link to the model.  Please check it out to see if your views are better than mine.  I get a lot of the jiggies and jaggies (not smooth lines at edges)

Even though the combo box says "0 (Not Emissive)" the actual value is 0.2 or 0.1 as you can see in the images above. The program will automatically match .2 to "not emissive" since it is pretty close.  Apparently, even very small values like this can have a big effect in the mobile viewer.  We will see if we can improve these issues in the future but for now you should try setting the actual value to 0.

Thanks for that info Dermot,  that helped.  However,  the model on my Mac still is not great.  Is it a Mac thing or am I still missing something? My model looks nowhere as good as David's model(Parkwest).

It appears that you have some materials (walls, casing, fascia, and maybe others) that have been made emissive which is causing them to appear way too bright in the viewer.  I'm not sure why you did this but you may want to turn the emissivity off.

.......

 

Here are the specs on the materials.  It looks they are not emissive.  Am I missing something?  The two materials are the stucco and the fascia.

Not the plan file.   The link to the 3D viewer file like you want to send to the client.

here is the link to the 3d

Unfortunately there is 20 year old technology that works better but it is not as easy to use so you have a choice.

 

Choices are good right ?

 

Possibly chief will look at updating that once they get a few other things done.

Hi  Chop,  not sure what you are saying.

Are you saying that THE VIEWER does not run very good on the MAC?

I do not use the VIEWER often,  but it seems like it ran well before this latest VERSION of CA.

3D Viewer on a MAC.  Is this the best I can get?

These are screen shots of the STANDARD VIEW (not BASIC VIEW).

Is anybody getting better pics?

@HCremodel - The stair is going to cut off the top of the wall...thus, if you place a doorway into the wall it will not extend above the stair. The quickest "fix" is to just use a P-Solid...and you won't be fighting the jamb of the doorway cutting away the drywall on the wall surface. 

 

Example using a solid...just took a couple of minutes;

Steve,  you are correct,  if the doorway is on the same floor as the stairs,  the stairs cut the wall.

I think you can put that doorway in a wall on the LEVEL above and it will create the opening.  I  alway have a wall above on the level above.

Sorry,  I misspoke.....  I meant X3 (not. X13)

Before X3 you could only have 1 ref set. Only one ref set with all plan views.  You had to use the same exact ref set for any plan view.

 With X3 you could have a different ref set with every plan view.

With this release (or was it the prior release) a plan view can have multiple ref sets including a ref set from a different plan.  

Multiple ref sets are powerful in that we can now have some layers with DETAILS ON and some layers with DETAILS OFF....  (DETAILS ON means the FILLS will show). 

(remember the MRLS & the MMRLS?)

X-13 is solid,  you should be able to use it with no issues.

...... Not all foundation walls (pony walls) have cultured stone to hide the dashed lines.

Fair point Doug.

Also,  if the grade is sloped,  how does that change the look of the cultured stone?  Does the cultured stone also need to be sloped by additional manipulation?

This is a nuisance.

I am assuming you created the opening via a doorway and not an invisible wall which I think is the correct approach.

I think you have built the opening too far into drywall.  Try making the opening 1/8” smaller.  But not perfect.

That is what I needed. Display on floor below solved the problem. and I turned off all layers I did not want to see. thanks

that method has its own issues.  I recommend showing roof planes via ref sets.

starting with x13 when CA fixed the ref sets.  They have become more and more powerful.  If you don’t think they are powerful,  you do not understand them.

m ake custom countertop,  select,  select edge you want waterfall on and there is icon in bottom that will turn to waterfall

cabinet waterfall edge.....  where is it controlled
