Hi Arjo, I'm a bit late, but I do like your road animation. Hope you got paid well for it, Rijkswaterstaat (if they are your client) have more than enough to spend. Hi Vesa, About the CAD drawings: your method of a high res. screendump emphasizes the need for good, accurate im- and export once more. Apart from the scaling problem a screendump of a cad drawing is a dead end street for a client. To be able to compete with collegues who use Max/Viz and who have flawless exchange of cad drawings between their 3d app and the cad program I often find myself re-doing the 3D project in Autocad, just to give the client an accurate representation of my work. The high res. screendump from Realsoft is a nice backdrop in Autocad, but needless to say that making a cad drawing from scratch is an awfull lot of extra work. A reliable DXF export filter would be manna from heaven. No need to support textures, text, lights etc, "just" object geometry.

_____ Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Arjo Rozendaal Verzonden: donderdag 17 juli 2008 9:22 Aan: reallist Onderwerp: measure object with high resolution print Hi, A week ago I had to draw a plan in a cad like manner. So I thought I should use the measure object to show measures inside the drawing. The only problem was how to get a hires image for printing the plan. Vesa gave me a very good tip for creating such a view window. So I thought I should share it in here, it might come handy to someone else too. Attached you can see the result. - Open a new Float window from Available GUI objects\}Window tab - From the same tab, activate the Window tool. Set type to Scrolled. Drag & drop the Window tool icon to the opened float window. - Switch to App Window tab and drop a View to the new float window. - Create a new View Model object called as 'Hires View'. Set its options as you wish, and set Canvas to GDI, not OpenGL.. - In the Camera tab of the View model property gadget, set Fixed size and enter e.g. w=2000, h=3000. - Save the project (maybe as startup) Now you can use View popup/Render/Save to file menu of the new hires view to create high resolution wireframe screenshots. Arjo.
