Hello all,

I have a bit of a problem.  I am using Viz 2005.  When I drag archvision 3D stills (people) into my scene, they are the right size, but when I render, they are tiny.  At first, I could not even see them, but when I zoomed in I could see tiny ‘dots’.

To get them to look right, I have to scale them non-uniformly, with my x & y values the same about (3200%), and my z value almost twice what I have used for x & y.  This problem does not exist with the free 3D stills which were downloaded about 2 years ago.  It is only the ones I downloaded with my recent subscription that do not work.  However, the 3D+/animation content and Hi Res 3D stills downloaded as part of the same subscription work fine.

Obviously, the first thing I checked was the units set up, and as always, it was set to metric (mm).  I don’t understand and any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Hi,

I have been using RPC content forever, and have never seen this issue.  Have you tried contacting the Archvision?
