All, To be fair and clear the record, I must say that the mistake was mine. I was running SETUP from the serialized floppy disk instead of the CD-ROM. The must call different files. Once I coreected my mistake, all was well. I know, I know…RTFM! Jeff Bradley
C3 CD ROM:Missing files?
Message #186506
Is it my imagination or is the new R13c3 CDROM missing files? I came across at least 2 absent files during a NEW installation (not an upgrade). These were: \ACADDOS\README.ADS and: \ACADWIN\EDOC\BIN\PRINDLG.DLL I was able to fake it out by copying the CD-ROM directory tree to a 100 MB ZIP…
Dennis, If you're looking for a New Jersey dealer, try Custom Data Systems in Cinnaminson. Their phone number is (609) 829-2400. Ask for Jon Smith. They sold us our copies of 3DS and have always done right by us. Jeff Bradley Ewing Cole Cherry Brott Architects
HCMAKE ??
Message #65434
Has anyone seen or heard of the "HCMAKE" file that is supposedly neccessary to create Hi-Color (32K) flics? The "HCPLAY" file was just posted in "What's New" and the description says "see HCMAKE", but no can find. The ZIP file with the player and the DOCS does not contain the…
> > Alan, Here is the story (as best as I can deduce). When you place a spotlight in ACAD via Visual Link, you define the light position and the target point, either by pointing or entering points from the keyboard. VL then draws a pretty picture of a spotlight…
Alan, I, too, use Accurender, and I am happy with it for the most part. You CAN physically copy and array the light blocks in this one, and it works. The major drawback tha I see in Accurender is SPEED (or lack of). This is especially true when you include…
Alan, You bet I have. Try arraying (or even copying) a spotlight. I do architectural renderings (mainly office type environmnents) and I thought VL would be a Godsend. Wouldn't it be great to create one spotlight, get it perfect, and then create an ARRAY of 250 of them? IT DOESN'T…
I'm Intrested in your 16M. How cheap is cheap? Email me if you like.
Greg, Thanks much! It took a bit of searching ("see background" is in the top pulldown menus), but it worked. I was hoping that I didn't have to determine viewpoints, vanishing points and such from the photograph. Your suggestion is much simpler. BTW, do you know why ACAD's DVIEW lenslength…
#LW Model File Transfers
Message #49528
To ALL: Does anyone out there know of a method or a piece of third party s/w that will translate Video Toaster LW models to either DXF or 3DStudio format? Our current setup uses an AMIGA and two DOS 486's running 3DStudio, and while we find it a simple matter…
#Making an Obj. Disappear
Message #26182
All, Maybe I'm missing the obvious, but what is the best way to make an object stay hidden until the the flic gets to the frame when you want it to appear? Hide and Unhide leave no keys. I'm trying to create a VGA res. flic for a client, and…
