Production Frame??... - Polyloop

WillBellJr · 9th February 2006, 20:02

At first I thought it was drivers on my laptop but now I see at work on my desktop machine (Dell) the Production Frame doesn't show after selecting the menu item and clicking okay on the dialog??

Thing is, it worked when I was playing with the demo and after I purchased but sometime after I upgraded to 5.0.3 I think it has disappeared on me?

Not that I need it but it's now a question in my mind - "wha-hapinned?..."

Not sure if it's a bug or something I'm missing?...

in the camera name field in the 3D window (on the top left), choose to set position to default and on the zoom utility, in the drop down, choose 100% (or default), don't remember exactly.

Okay, embarrasing!

Due to my ongoing blindness - my eyes would stop short when seeing the "Production Frame..." item!

I'd click that thinking that after I set the production frame size, it would display.

But then right below that further down, there was the "Show Production Frame" item - duhoid!

To save some face, I'm not sure why "Production Frame..." is in the >View< menu - I was trying to View|Production Frame... which didn't work as I was expecting.

I would think that since that option is rarely changed from the default of 90%, that item should be an option in the settings dialog and not the view menu?...

Anyway, mystery solved - move awn folks, nuff'in to see here (still learning the software)...

Don't feel bad.
I couldn't get the production frame either.
I opened an old file done in C4 that had basic lighting set up in that had the p-frame visible. I saved that as a C5 work template. So far the frame stays put.

Will you made my day. I have been "thick" to several things this week --things I know very well! It's all caused by the atomic bomb!

Just a bump to say yup, spent half an hour or so doing exactly the same thing until I read this!

Thanks for being daft first
