#196281 extra dummy's Message #196527
I'll try it. Sounds good to me. Thanks, your the first one with a clever way out of this mess I've gotten myself in to.
#195852 extra dummy's Message #196015
Yes, the .prj file contains all the dummys. Merging is an idea I'll try. Other .prj files into which I have merged objects from the bad file now contain the dummys. I subsequently deleted the merged objects from the bad file but it still contains the dummys, which are not…

Yes, I can delete each dummy object, one at a time. However, since there are thousands, well you get the idea. I'll try your merge idea. Thanks
#extra dummy's Message #195766
I'm having strange problem that documentation nor dealer can answer, so maybe someone out there has a clue. During the modelling and animation of an architectural project I discovered a when opening the tracks dialog a significant slow down in it's speed. The cause became evident when I used display…
#95 Message #193621
I've been told many different stories about 3ds functionality under 95 from much faster to not at all. I'd like to know from an Autodesk representative exactly what the functionality of 3ds r4 is under windows '95 on a Micron 90 with 64 meg of ram and a Diamond Stealth…
I'm told by my dealer and by Autodesk that questions regarding the shortcomings of 3ds can be answered in this forum. Thus far my last 2 questions 1)booleans and 2)windows 95 have not been answered and no longer appear in this forum. So my question is, where do I go…
#Booleans Message #193197
I'm an architect using 3ds daily for schematic design. I rely heavily on boolean operations for quick modeling of orthogonal planes, punching openings then stretching them then adding more. My problem is that after the first pass, the booleans become less and less predictable until it becomes completely useless. I've…
#PAR for sale Message #180989
Sorry, it's gone
#PAR for sale Message #178777
I have a 3 month old PAR card for sale. Very low usage.
Non-VESA video Message #176907
I have a Raster Ops fixed frequency monitor and a non-vesa (but very high quality) Methius card on my pc. Is there a way to run 3ds4 without changing my monitor/card? Is there another card or adapter to run the monitor from a standard vesa card?
#3ds-Merged objects Message #171853
I'm merging a mesh file from another 3ds file, alter the scale, and rotate the object into position. As I rotate the object (it is a single object made of multiple elements) the geometry becomes progressivley more destorted until the object becomes unrecognizable. In some instances I have placed one…
#166533 PAR AND FIELDS Message #166775
From: michael woodcox Autodesk Multimedia Forum · IPAS Usage April 26, 1995 12:14 AM
Sounds like this might be the answer since on some similar panning sequences I did not get the same jittering effect. Thanks for the suggestion, but tell me, what is a power cycle? MW
#PAR AND FIELDS Message #166511
I've just started using the PAR for architectural animations. I have lot's of experience with frame rendering but new to fields. My question is perhaps elementary to those of you with field rendering experience so bear with me. When panning through interiors I'm getting major shaking throughout the image field,…

Greg, I would like to find out more about your PAR utilities. Please forward pricing etc. Thanks
movie converter Message #158990
Anyone out there know of a .avi to .mov converter other than Intel's Smartcap (which only works with indeo .avi)?
