Brian Smith Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Being big on good linework, i've got a lot of work to clean this baby up and get it ready for Max. Anybody else got ugly site plans like this to share? What's your ugliest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawyer Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Thats pretty ugly Brian. The really ugly ones that I hated dealing with were ones where someone somehow modified a z coordinate of a line accidentally. Then they snapped to it and all of a sudden you have a line that should only be 6" becoming 900'. Or one I had this summer - all of the lines are on layer 0 but the colors have been forced. I assumed it was because of inserting the file as a block but no one I talked with could hunt down a clean layered drawing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eksg Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 oh,ok.maybe it was the model space that you've opened.is there no layout space?because im doing the same thing.im using one general layout to do the entire working drawings.but im using the layout space to "freeze" the other layer that i do not need.and if would look on my files, its looks exactly the same as what you've posted.

If your going to import the CAD files into Max you will have to deal with model space eventually(I think, I always have anyway?) Brian I don't think i have ever had anythin quite so ugly as that but I did get A beauty a while ago (won't be allowed to show it though), where someones idea of contours were broken lines, most with multiple heights along the one line! By the way do you have ant tips for getting decent terrain in max from spot hieghts as i never seem to get nice contoured survey info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihabkal Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 that's not ugly. I would show you ugly if I wasn't so depressed about life here in Beirut. I usually get the ugliest ones, the ones that my US, indian and chinese competitors refuse to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eksg Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 yeah,ur right there that u'll still have to be on the model space.but what i mean is u could go to layout space,look for the layout which contains only the drawings that u need,then copy and paste to a new document.then u can avoid the hassle of clearing things up if you insist on working with model space.

ihabkal Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I know I can turn off layers, but imagine if that's the first thing you see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
