#File Retreival
Message #119509
HELP. I recently was loading a project into 3DS to show a friend and, talking as I was loading, inadvertently hit save instead of load and used the project filename as the file to be saved, DUH!!! Of course this saved an empty project over the existing. I have a…
Martin 3.1 is out there in the ether. Don
Mike, The price I'm being quoted is $2800 with set-up and support. I keep eyeing my Piggy bank 🙂 Don
Mark, I don't think the problem is your paper. The 560C has a separate cartridge for black which makes all the difference in the world. I used my 560C with a package that didn't have a 560 driver and used it in the 550 mode which forced it to use…

Connie, Thanx for the info. I think I'll try 3ds based on the replies I have gotten. Most of my customers are high end ($250,000+ renovations). I also have good contacts with Architects who are interested in the product but, I don't think they have the time or inclination to…
#Architectural interiors
Message #110840
I am thinking of purchasing 3Ds for use in Rendering Architectural Interiors. I have been in construction for a number of years and found that most of my customers can not visualize Kitchens, baths etc. I am currently using Generic 3d to generate perspectives and furniture renderings for clients and…
