Questions

New to using Dimension. When I click on the Render Preview button, my entire canvas becomes the render preview. The tutorials I see feature Render Preview as a small inset window to the top right of the canvas.  How do I enable this small inset Render Preview window?

Hi Folksi have often problems with objects wo are manipulated with boolean operators in the 3d modeler software before.in the screenshot on the right you see the original object created in cinema 4D.on the left side you see the result in dimension,i try cheetah3d and here the problem is the same. is this a known bug? tom

Having a very strange issue with placing decals on the top and bottom of a tin 3d file (provided as 3d pdf by the manufacturer, then I opened it in Photoshop and exported as .obj). The curved areas look great, but the flat areas on the top and bottom have a strange "pinpoint" serrated issue. Is this an issue in Dimension or an issue that I can somehow correct in Photoshop? Other than this issue, the .obj works perfectly. Thanks for any help!

I am importing materials from Substance in sbsar. The material looks and behave ok.however, there are two features I don't get to do. 1 -  See the imported materials on the Library Assets Materials shell.2 - swap between different materials presets when the substance materials are configured that way.Am I doing something wrong or those features are still not implemented?In addition, it would be amazing if could add a bump map to the graphics placed on the model to generate embossed and engraved graphics.

I created a taller object beside a shorter one and shine a light over them, the shadow should've cast on top of the shorter object but doesn't. Is this a bug or am I doing it wrong? because I've had a successful result before but cannot really tell if I did anything  different.  

Hello – I know how to create my own materials, how can I add them to Adobe Stock for resale?

It would be nice if we could export as FBX instead of the difficult OBJ files, specially when working with 3D characters. 

I don't even have an option to select between CPU or GPU render. How to fix this? I have latest nVidia Studio Drivers installed and latest version of Adobe Dimension. My specs:1) AMD FX-8350 CPU @ 4.2 Ghz2) GPU: ASUS GTX 1080 Turbo 8 GB of VRAM3) 2x8 GB DDR3 RAM @ 1866 Mhz Kingston HyperX Fury4) Windows 10 Pro (1909) I love this software, but CPU render times in complex scenes are just awfull so I really wanna use my GPU power to speedup the process.

I created a model in marvelous designer and when I try to add a seamless pattern in dimensions it always shows as multiple images. How do I fix the problem? Thx! 

Hi, I've been using Dimension for a relatively short time, but I'm trying to render the food pouch that is provided by Adobe Dimension with one material on one side (paper/cardboard) and another one on the other (transparent plastic). In real life it would look like something like this:  Is there any relatively straightforward way to do this or do I need to use some complicated 3D software like Blender in order to split the sides of the pouch?  Thanks a lot!

Hello, I need use a 3d ambient (made with dimension) in web pages and interact with it with javascript.Can somone sugest tutorial and template for this purpose?  Thanks. 

Whenever I click render preview, the image is very grainy, like old TV static. I don't think it's the DoF, but I'm not sure what else to try. The resolution is full, and I'm working from a Surface Book 2, so the specs shouldn't be the issue. Any help is appreciated! Screenshot 

Hi! How come on imported obj file (drawn in Blender) I can't apply labels on it? In the scene panel it is imported correctly, but in the work window, even in the rendering, the label is not there.Example on attached screenshot.Thanks so much. 🙂

Is Dimension an app for creating 3D items? Not just a graphic image but a file to print an item in 3D. And if not, is there another Creative Suite tool that is? If no CS app, do you have a recommendation for a beginner with Mac? These are the guidelines: "Color parts require texture maps. A standard .STL file will not be sufficient for a color part. Color models must be submitted as a single compressed .ZIP file containing a .DAE, .WRL, .X3D, .X3DB, or .X3DV with .PNG, .JPG, or .GIF texture files. If you have uploaded your color model properly, the colors will appear in the 3D render when you select your material and at checkout. If a the 3D render is all gray or all black the model will not print in color." Thanks!

I built a home exterior from scratch using Adobe Starter Models. When I turn on Render Preview, it looks like this. No DoF and Reduce Noise turned on.

Hello community, I cannot run Adobe Dimension since I updated it, now I get a message that tells me to log in from the desktop application, but I already closed and logged back in, I ran the program and nothing, the same message continues to come out. I have been a user of the premium suite for several years, I never had a similar problem. I attach a screenshot of the message, although it is in Spanish but it says what I indicated above.Surely there are people with the same problem.I contacted the technical service and they could not solve it either, the operator did the same steps as me.Maybe an update is to be expected.Someone knows of a possible answer.Thank you.

When adding a new item to a scene, it winds up a mile away on the plane! How can I avoid that?

Hi! It's my first time posting to the forum. I am running into some issues when it comes to modifying .obj files (converted from .stp) and rendering them out. I have had this issue with several different files I have so I am afraid it may be my file in specific. I don't own any AutoDesk programs so I personally wouldn't be able to fix the issue but I would like to know as much as I can to fix the issue even if it does involve AutoDesk or other programs. I also have access to the .dwg files but I'm not sure how to convert a .dwg file to a .obj file (or any other file Dimensions will support). All of the research I've done for that seem very detailed and involves a lot of programs to be installed, etc.  The issue is as follows... when the rendering is complete, the curves on my model appear to be made of straight lines instead of a gradual curve. I believe it shows up like this in the Design tab as well, however, which is leading me to believe it is my file and not somethi

Hi all,Sorry for my EnglishMe and my Team using Adobe Dimension for packaging presentation. The program is easy and make an amazing and beautiful rendering picture. But I want to create an advance presentation. So I use .GLB format file from a program sent to Adobe Aero for making an AR and import to Power Point for making 3D presentation. I found some problem. When I place graphic on the translucence body like glass material. When it show on Aero and PowerPoint the transparency is disappear, But the glass body that not place a graphic still translucence. Me and my Team try to do many way but can’t solve it. I want to asked to Supporter did you have some special technic or solution ? I hope that will be useful to us both.Thank you&Best Regards,

I have used Dimension in the past but now I just get a gray screen. I can't see objects that I pull into the frame but I can set material changes and colors to them.  So far no one at adobe has been helpful and I don't see anyone that has had a similar problem online. I was excited to use this app again for mock ups but I need help since I can't seem to figure it out.

I have a project that has text in front of people walking on a path. What I want is to have the shadows from the people interact with the 3D text. But I don't know how to do that. I tried creating an object to make shadows but the object exports as the same layer as the text so I can't get rid of it when I get in to photoshop to finalize the image. Any suggestions? Is there a way to make an invisible object or render out the objects as individual layers? -Michael
