The Virtools forum is still in a bad shaped compared to the old one. Code and quote layout are often broken. Apparently attachments don't work solid neither (missing or ppl. reporting that it doesn't work).</p> <p>Moreover the "search" is kinda reduced. The old forum was a solid knowledge resource (like 8 years or so of issues&amp;discussion) , searching it now is not very efficient and reduces productivity.</p> <p>cheers<br /> dom </p> http://www.3dvia.com/forums/topic/import-coordinate-system#post-57724 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 14:30:50 +0000 JonnySmoley 57724@http://www.3dvia.com/forums/ <p>I am having trouble importing my models because no matter how i set the coordinate in 3DVia, my models always come in lying on its side.

The problem is, it captures the mesh perfectly, only without texture mapping coordinates. This is in OpenGL (DirectX isn't an option to capture out of that program).</p> <p>I have tested this now on three separate PC's and all three yield the same result, a perfect mesh without texture coordinates. Tested it on both Nvidia and ATI graphic boards, and on WinXP 32 bit and Win 7.</p> <p>But technically it should be possible as I know of one other user who managed to rip the same model with texture coordinates in OpenGL from the Dolphin Emulator (am also asking him for help, but the more help, the better of course!)</p> <p>I have an Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTX, 3 GB RAM, Windows 7 (but tested it also on Windows XP).</p> <p>Thanks so much! </p> http://www.3dvia.com/forums/topic/error-with-dae-export#post-57617 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 22:27:44 +0000 tomy 57617@http://www.3dvia.com/forums/ <p>Hey, I wanted to tell you that I tried to view a DAE model in Google Earth had one of it's textures missing. My guess is that is because that in the DAE file, the textures name was "night sky" but the browser had saved it as "night%20sky" and I know that means a space. For now, I just renamed the image "night sky" but yeah it should be fixed. Just a suggestion because there was no place specifically made for DAE export. </p> http://www.3dvia.com/forums/topic/general-display-dpi-settings#post-57627 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:22:21 +0000 Irkam 57627@http://www.3dvia.com/forums/ <p>Hello,<br /> I use a high resolution on my laptop (1920x1200) with an "advanced" setting allowing me to enlarge the caracters on my screen : DPI Setting Larger Size : (120 DPI).</p> <p>In this case, the UI goes all weird because it seems the strings are to big for the place they're allowed to have. I had the same problem with the old version of the site (Congrats by the way, for the new design).

I remember in firefox it did work it would automatically log me in but in IE doesn't even remember my name. As scenes only works in IE (firefox crashes) it gets pretty annoying. I always check remember me when I come back it is unchecked. </p>
