BIMx opening view

[Tom Krowka]

Have tried to save a hypermodel with photorender window as the opening view.   I can generate the render but I get an error when attempting to save to the BIMx site.    Do I have to use 3D window for the opening view for the BIMx to save?   It's not great quality.  

Thanks Tom

Tom:

Have you pasted the photorender into the Project Preview window? This is how I create the BIMx opening image.

Thanks Dave, that does answer the question but here's the real question behind the question.    Can I create the whole BIMx hypermodel entity in the photorender window instead of the 3D window.   The model quality would be so much better when the client opens the hypermodel via the opening view.   

Thanks Tom

Tom:

I may not be following you now. The BIMx walkthrough model is generated separately, not from the 3D or photo render windows. In earlier versions of AC there was a check box in the Publisher for rendering the model at higher quality (and more time), but that was removed when BIMx was upgraded recently.

Hi Dave:   That does answer my question.   Basically am complaining about the walkthrough model quality.   Was trying to find a way to improve it.   Was under the assumption that the opening view had something to do with the quality of the walkthrough but apparently it does not.   So I guess I have to live with the black box of walkthrough model generation.
