Sorry folks , I am new to this list , let me intoduce my self , My name is Stephen , I design bits for motorcyles in particular..Royal Enfields,
The problem I am having with Acad is that the background will not show through a hole in a rendered drawing ...It did then I possibly fiddled with something
I have installed acad 2002 and still the problem is there,   for an example a 5mm thick spacer with a hole in the middle against a green background .  I should seethe green through/ in the hole but all I get is a white circle....If I apply a material to it then it becomes ragged like shadow over a playing field....
If you rotate it the effect decreases, So I moved in the lights...to no avail,....even went as far as to buy the manual.....no luck

Any Ideas??  HELppppppp!!!

I have been saving the Bitmaps , and touching them up manually!!1

Thanks in advance

Stephen

Check to see if a circle remains somewhere around the opening.  A circle will render as a closed filled object.

Thanks will do .....how would I remove the circle , or just insert a break??

I extuded both cirdles then subtracted the inner one...

thanks for that

RE: New to this forum Help with rendering Acad 2002

If DELOBJ is set to 0 the original objects are retained after extrusion.  Set it to 1 prior to extrusion and the original objects will be removed.

There are a couple of methods to get rid of the circles.  One is the FILTER command. Another would be, if the solids are on a different layer than the circles, to turn off the layer of the soldids then erase the circles.  Or enter ERASE select a fence and cross the solid and the circles, then enter R to remove and remove the solid from the delection set.

Hope that helps.

er... that would be
"then enter R to remove and remove the solid from the Selection set."

Regards
Stephen
I can Email a simple drg and if you can render the same drg then its my machine ....

RE: New to this forum Help with rendering Acad 2002

Another problem may be that the inner cylinder was not quite aligned with the outer when subtracting.  Try creating a new cylinder for the inner that extends beyond the outer a bit on both ends, and re-subtract.  If that doesn't work, email the file and I'll take a look when I can.

RE: New to this forum Help with rendering Acad 2002

When you want a hole thru an object, make sure that when you extrude in the circle,square or any other shape to  extrude in the Z direction always and to a much greater depth than the object thru which you want to make a hole. That way you will definitely have a hole otherwise you may get something that may have a thin "skin" preventing you from seeing the background.
