Creating a 3-D Cylinder
I want to 'draw' a vertical cylinder in 3-D to use as a pedestal on which to display various sculpture pieces. Using the ellipse tool, I have created a relatively flat ellipse in Layer 1 and have painted it a light gray to represent the top of the pedestal. In Layer 2, I created a rectangle shape and filled that with a vertical gradient, light to dark to light, so that the rectangle appears to look round. When I set Layer 1, the ellipse, on top of the rectangle, it appears that I have a round cylinder, BUT the bottom is still flat. I need to create another ellipse of greater depth (because of the increased angle in the perspective) to make the bottom round so the composite image appears as a cylinder with an elliptical top and bottom. I can do that by creating an ellipse on a Layer 3, making the Layer 2 dominant so as to hide the top of the ellipse---BUT I need to match the gradation that is in Layer 2 so that the exposed bottom half of the ellipse is a continuation of the vertical gradation on the body of the cylinder. Any suggestions? Am I making this too hard? Is there an easier approach?
Ned,
A tutorial for this is available in a book by Al Ward, ISBN: 0-7645-
2597-2. He covers cylinder construction in detail, and from the CD, which comes with the book, one can load a tube gradient.

Your library may have it. I did not see it listed by Amazon.

How to create a curved-type cylinder
We can create the basic geometries easily with J3DAPI , but how to create a curved-type geometry such as cylinder ?
Searching for help ....
Thanks a lot for giving any tips or information about it !With the idea of "Divide & Conquer" , I has a rough solution.

MetaDB issue - Solaris 10u8 x86
Hi all,
I am running Solaris 10u8 x86 on VMware.
I am trying to configure SVM in my virtual machine and meet the following issue about metadb.
I have 01 HDD which contains Solaris OS, swap... and 03 more HDDs for holding data. I did not do anything on the first HDD. The other 3 HDDs will be configured to be a RAID 5 volume using SVM. (I will call these 3 HDDs disk2, disk3 and disk4)
On the disk2, I created slice 7 from cylinder 3 to cylinder 10 for holding metadb. I also created the slice 0 from cylinder 11 to the end of the HDD for to be a component of the RAID 5 volume. (In this case, the location of the slice 7 for metadb is *"before"* the location of the slice 0)
The VTOC of the disk2 is applied to the disk3 and disk4.
After dividing the 3 HDDs into slices. I created the metadb on the slice 7 of the 3 HDDs. After that I created the RAID 5 volume using the slice 0 of the 3 HDDs. However, after I reboot the machine, it said that my RAID 5 volume is not exist. the metadb command showed that there is no metadb.
I tried to test another case. On the disk2, I created slice 7 from cylinder 1000 to cylinder 1200 for holding metadb. I also created the slice 0 from cylinder 1 to cylinder 999 for to be a component of the RAID 5 volume. (In this case, the location of the slice 7 for metadb is *"after"* the location of the slice 0)
After dividing the 3 HDDs into slices. I created the metadb on the slice 7 of the 3 HDDs. After that I created the RAID 5 volume using the slice 0 of the 3 HDDs. After rebooting the system everything went fine. My metadb is exist and the RAID 5 volume can be mounted and used.
I cannot find any reason why I could not place the slice 7 (which holds metadb) *"before"* the other slices which used to hold data.
Please help me to explain this case.
Thanks and BR.
HuyNQ.Solaris makes one of the partitions active , Take a note of that.
Once you are done tinkering with the partitions/ loading say Windows/Linux follow this step.
Grab any Linux distro's boot CD and start the rescue mode. type grub and do this
root (hd0, X) X the partiton that has linux partition minus 1
setup (hd0)now open fdisk and change the label of the Solaris Partition to 80.
Add an entry in /boot/grub/menu.1st on the same lines like Windows, If unsure google .
Reboot and you are done.
Never I said never make any other partition active other than what Solaris installation does for you. -
AI 3D extrusions - lines / streaks / striations in PDF format file
OS: Win 7 / 64
AI: CS5 15.0.2
Acrobat: 9.4.6
I am attempting to create a shaded vertical cylinder using AI's 3D extrusion function.
When shading is applied to the object, I am getting lines / streaks / striations in the PDF format file when viewed in Acrobat.
JPG and PNG exports do not exhibit the lines / streaks / striations.
The error is appearing in cylinders oriented vetically. It is not appearing in cylinders rotated to a non-vertical angle.

Unfortunately, this is not the case.
I received the test prints back and they exhibit exactly the same errors as the PDF file viewed on screen.

The effect is reduced by selecting "draw hidden faces," but not eliminated. The number of blend steps also affects the amount of the error that is manifested, but again, does not eliminate the error.
The only way to eliminate the error is to use the exact same color for both stroke and fill.
Depending on the shape, that may or may not be an issue.
The Illustrator and Acrobat product teams will need to fight it out as to which is responsible for the error but from the customer perspective, the error has only one logo: Adobe. -
My install runs happily until the actual software starts to get written to my drive (CD#1). The install program displays a message that it is deleting the solaris partition, then immediately says it is creating a solaris partition, with a final error message that there is not enough disk space to create the partition.
Up to this point I had successfully created a 5GB FAT32 partition, and a 5GB Solaris partition (from which CD#0 created a 10MB boot partition).
I don't understand why there is a problem, and would appreciate any assistance. Thank you.Fdisk from Solaris can't create partition from arbitrary cylinder address (may be for some types of disks). You can check it, by creating partition by hand and varying starting cylinder.
Sometimes fdisk from DOS creates partition, which ending address don't
like Solaris's fdisk. If you use authomatic Web installation, Solaris's fdisk, after deleting, can't create partition, which starts from next cylinder, that have next number after end of FAT32. Fdisk crush, but intallator thinks that there is no free space to create boot partition.
To avoid:
1) Boot from Software 1 disks and open command tool.
2) Create x86 boot partition (10MB) and Solaris partition by hand. If boot partition don't create, increase starting cylinder and try again.
3) Start installation from Software 1 disk. Do not use Web install. In this case installation program put Solaris into partitions just created.

Bootcamp 5.1.1 on Mac Pro Cylinder can't install Windows 8
Hi,
I've gone through almost every discussion regarding the common issue "Windows coud not update the computer's boot configuration" but none is related to Bootcamp version 5.1.1 and latest Mac Pro cylinder.
I already tried the solution presented by Jarvil at this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23545780#23545780
Based on Jarvil's solution there is a very important thing that is not happening in my case, that is that I never get the option to boot from the "Windows" partition. I only have 3 options, 1) Macintosh HD 2) Recovery 3) EFI Boot.
By not having the option to boot from Windows partition I automatically deviate from Jarvil's solution.
So, I proceed with EFI boot, I reach the step where I have to select the partition and I pick the 4th partition and it says that Windows can't be installed in this partition so I delete/format it and proceed with installation and it goes all well until the very end where it's finishing the install that I get the message:
"Windows coud not update the computer's boot configuration".
I also tried skipping the install --> login into Mac OS X --> Disk Utility --> Delete partition --> Create ExFAT partition (tried FAT also) --> Reboot --> EFI Boot (Windows partition still not available) --> Format partition --> Proceed with install --> Same error again.
After the error, it reboots and then I get a blue screen (**** Windows blue screens) with a message:
Recovery
Your PC Needs to be repaired
The Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information.
File: \BCD
Error code: 0x0000034
You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your system administrator or PC manufacturer.
So I reboot holding Option key and now the partition Windows appears and if I boot from it I get the same blue screen with the recovery error. So I reboot again and login into OSX, go to Disk Utility and delete the "Untitled" partition and I recreate it using ExFAT but then it gets stuck "Preparing to partition disk".
I'm attaching snapshots.
I really hope that someone from Apple support can provide a solution. Thank you very much in advance.
AlejandroIt's not an Apple response but it is something which worked for me. This is an exerpt from a post I made on another site. It's a bit involved and you may think this should not be necessary (and you'd be right) but if you want to try it you're welcome. No guarantess.
Install Windows again just like you did before with Bootcamp (but you may have to remove any traces of it first).
So starting again with Bootcamp Assistant and with Macintosh using the whole disc again begin the process.
Allow Windows to be installed as normal.
When the BCD error box opens up DO NOT click on OK - immediately do a hard shutdown of the Mac by holding the power button. This is so the changes are not rolled back.
Start up the Mac again holding the Alt key and choose the USB EFI Boot option in the boot menu (it will be orange). At this point if you get a Windows blue screen error shutdown and take out the USB then restart the machine holding Alt and at the boot menu plug in the USB again and do the above.
At the installer's start screen press shift + F10 to get a command prompt.
In the command prompt type
diskpart and hit enter
type
list volume and hit enter
Note the volume letters and numbers of all the volumes . One should be an EFI partition of type FAT32 and it will have no drive letter.
Now type
list volume and hit enter (note the letters and numbers of the displayed volumes) One will be your EFI partition of FAT32 type and it will have no letter, just a number.
type
select volume X (where X is the number of your EFI partition) and hit enter
type
assign letter=B and enter
type
exit and enter
type
bcdboot C:\Windows /l en-GB /s B: /f ALL *** note the /l en-GB is for locality and language and will default to English US if not changed. Obviously you need to change to your own locale and language code***
press enter (after checking all spaces etc). You may also struggle to find the \ key on your keyboard, it may change position once in command prompt!.
After a few seconds it should report that the boot files were written. If it does that you can type in
wpeutil reboot and press enter at which point your Mac will reboot. Hold the Alt key and choose your new EFI Boot option and hopefully Windows will boot.
Obviously all of this can be a little daunting and should not be taken on lightly. Having said that Windows is not currently installing and you've got nothing to lose. You can always go back to what you have now (with TM backups of course, and maybe even without).
Good luck -
Error when trying to create a Files System with newfs
HI,
I am running Solaris 8 on a Sun Ultra 10 workstation
I am in the process of configuring the slices on my primary 20 gig hard drive. I have partitioned the hard drive as follows.

The root filesystem was created at installation, and I executed newfs on partition 3 to create the /edi filesystem, and both of them are mounted. I now need to create a filesystem on slice 1 but the newfs command is not working. I get the following output from newfs:
# newfs -v /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1
newfs: /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1: Unable to read Disk geometry
Could someone tell me what is wrong with this partition.
Any help would be appreciated.I e-mailed tech support and got my answer.
I should have been using /dev/rdsk and not /dev/dsk when specifying the disk slice to put the file system on. -
Can You Create Trend Line in CFCHART?
Have pretty much got CF7 Charts and WebCharts3D down, at
least to the point where they can do what I need the most. However,
the one thing I'd like to be able to do, but not sure if it's
possible, is create a TREND LINE.
This would be a LINE charts with 2 series. The first series
would be a line with the actual counts covering a period of time.
I'd like to add a 2nd line, using the same data from the
first series, but have it displayed as a TREND line. In Excel, you
can easily create a TREND line, it's even offered as an option.
I've seen somehwere (CFCHART or WebCharts3D) something to so
with "logarithmic" options, which is one of the options for Excel
charts.
Two more quick questions:
Q1. Is there any way to control the margin between the left
and right borders of the charts, and the bars? Have tried
experimenting, but can't seem to get this to work. Reason is, when
I try to show a chart in 3D, the first bar on the left is "butted
up" against the left chart border. Would like to add a little space
there.
Q2. Rather than display rectangular bars, I'd like to display
rounded cylinders. I've tried setting the chart type in CFCHART to
"cylinder" but it still displays a bar. When I try to change the
type to "cylinder" in WebCharts3D, the chart STILL displays
rectangular bars. Yet I've seen many examples of rounded, cylinder
bars.
Don't mean to push my luck with too many questions. Thanks
for any advice, help.
GaryTrend Lines:
CFChart does not do trend lines of any type. However, it is
not too difficult to compute the regression of your choice and to
plot it as a second series.
Logarithmic:
Not sure what you are asking here.
In theory, cfchart does do log-lin and log-log charts.
However, it is so buggy, and the scaling problems are so
great, that we have never been able to get it to work well.
We use ChartDirector for anything that requires a log scale.
Side margins:
You cannot control these directly. Here are some workarounds:
For "Category" axis:
Make sure the "isBucketed" property is set to true (this is the
default).
If that is not enough, add extra bars to your data series,
usually value zero. It's not ideal but it may be good enough.
For "Scale" axis:
Usually this works well enough. Otherwise, try toggling the
"isAbsolute" property.
The only other recourse is to manually scale the plot using the
"scaleMin" and "scaleMax" properties. This can be a real pain for
obvious reasons and also because cfchart scaling is fraught with
bugs and "quirks".
Cylinder Bars:
These work. Perhaps there was a setting conflict within the
XML or between the CFChartSeries setting and the XML?
Also the cylinders will only look round when 3D is turned on.
(Side view of a cylinder is just a shaded bar.)
Anyway, I've said it before: cfchart is barely usable for a
very limited range of charts.
For real business or common engineering and scientific needs,
you need to step up to something better.
The package we use (has all the features and very reasonably
priced) is ChartDirector (

3) How to give different names in 'Tag'?
4) How to know actually, How much size can be distributed among user defined partitions?
5) On solaris, How do we actually verify IF mirroring is in place?1) You create a really big slice and use soft partitioning. Otherwise 7 hard partitions are all you can assign.
2) That's an alternate system partition. You can't touch it and there's only 2 cylinders in it anyway.
3) There are only certain values that are legal. You generally don't adjust them.
4) Slice 2 is the entire usable space. That tells you how much you can distribute among the 7 (0,1,3,4,5,6,7) partitions/slices available to you. In your case; that's about 137 GB.
5) It isn't by default. You have to take positive actions with either Logical Volume Manager (aka Solstice Disk Suite for us old school guys) or some other form of volume manager. LVM is free with the OS and does a great job of mirroring the OS. I personally wouldn't use it for managing a form of disks; but it's perfect for the OS mirroring.

This is not a PC/PWX problem, but a mainframe security problem. TIDSS01.POS.IBD.DR0100.DAT is not a GDG file name.It might be the base for a GDG. A GDG file name would look something like eitherTIDSS01.POS.IBD.DR0100.DAT(+1)orTIDSS01.POS.IBD.DR0100.DAT.G001V00 So I suspect that you have the wrong file name.Please talk with your mainframe team.

Creating a simple splash screen
Hi,
I'm trying to create a simple splash screen with maybe a button. When this is pressed, the next thing shown in the application window should be the cylinder with my picture of Arizona on it.
Can anyone help?
Also trying to place a new image onto the cylinder shape when the Open button is pressed in the FileChooser dialog box.
Could someone help with this problem, I'm not sure what else is required.
Thanks.

Creating Custom Solaris 9 x86 boot CDs
Does anyone know how to create custome Solaris 9 boot CDs for the x86 platform? I want to try and remove some of the packages that I don't need and see if I can get the boot CDs down to 1 CD (as I did with the Solaris Sparc version). I tried the steps layed out in "Building a bootable JumpStart Installation CD-ROM", but the CDs do not appear to be in the correct format. If I put these new CDs into a SPARC station, they appear to be layed out correctly. After some research I determined that the x86 CDs use El Torito with the .boot-image in the s2 slice, but it still doesn't work.
Here are the steps I have tried:
From the Jumpstart whitepaper
1. Extract slice 2 from the CD: find . -print | cpio -pudm /bicd/s2
2. Stop volume management: /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
3. Extract slice 0 from the CD: dd if=/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 of=/bicd/s0.image
4. Modify /bicd/s2
5. Make an ISO file: mkisofs -R -d -L -l -o /bicd/s9.image -B /bicd/s0.image /bicd/s2
6. Burn the CD: cdrw -i s9.image
I modified step 5 for an El Torito image:
Make an ISO file: mkisofs -R -d -L -l -o /bicd/s9.image -B /bicd/s0.image -b .boot-image /bicd/s2
The Jumstart whitepaper says to extract the vtoc separate, then calculate the cylinder boundaries and include it on the new CD. Whenever I include the extracted vtoc, the CD is completely unreadable. If I leave this step out of the Solaris Sparc version, everything works okay.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.Does anyone know how to create custome Solaris 9 boot CDs for the x86 platform?

Create filesystems on Solaris 10 x86
Hi All,
I am not expert in Solaris, I just want to add an external
disk (via San) to a Solaris 10 x86 system.
When I execute #format, have the following :
0) c1t0d0 ....
2) c4t60060160D9E01D009AAB136E0F54DE11d0
/Scsi_uhci/disk@g60060160d9ede11
When I choose number 2, the very disk, I have the following :
Selecting c4t60060160D9E01D009AAB136E0F54DE11d0
[disk formatted]
/dev/dsk/c4t60060160D9E01D009AAB136E0F54DE11d0s2
is part of SVM volme stripped : d7
Please see metaclear.
Then I execute "verify" at the format Promp and got :
Part Tag Flag Cylinder Size
0 Unassigned wm 0 0
1 Unassigned wm 0 0
2 Backup wu 0-17442 133.62Gb
3 Unassigned wm 0 0

5 Unassigned wm 0 0
6 Unassigned wm 0 0
7 Unassigned wm 0 0
8 Boot wu 0 7.84Mb
9 Unassigned wm 0 0
My problem is to create 2 partitions, one of 70Gb and the
other one is the rest of the disk, then create filesystems on
them, how to proceed ?
Thanks

Please help.My guess is that you did not run fdisk and partition off the first 1M and ASM overwrote the VTOC rendering the device useless.
fdisk
create new partition
primary partition 1
start 2 end <last cylinder>
Then point your disk string to these partitions (<diskname>p1?)
Once this is done, I ALWAYS test to make sure the oracle AND grid user can read and write to this device from ALL nodes. I use the dd command to do this.
DO NOT DO THIS ON AN ALREADY CONFIGURED AND FUNCTIONING ASM DEVICE. Doing so will erase the device.
make a file in $HOME that contains one line:
cat <<EOF >> $HOME/x.x
this is a test
EOF
node1
dd if=$HOME/x.x of=<disk???p1> bs=20 count=1
node2
dd if=<disk???p1> of=$HOME/y.y bs=20 count=1 ##y.y should be the contents of node1:x.x
node1
dd if=/dev/zero of=<disk???p1> bs=8192 count=1000 ## erase the device for ASM usage.
Fix any read/write issues before proceeding. -
How to create simple 3D illustrations?
Hello!
Please, take a look at this image:
I am looking for a way to create these simple kinds of 3D illustrations. I use Illustrator myself in my daily work, but almost never for 3D (probably because I almost never create any 3D material).
My question is really about whether Illustrator is a good tool for creating these kinds of illustrations, or if anyone in here could direct me to a software program that is really good at this particular graphic?
Thank you!To "project" anything drawn in-the-flat onto the top plane of an isometric cube:
1. Rotate the artwork 45°
2. Scale to 100% horizontal, 57.74% vertical ( because .5774 is the sine of the isometric angle, 35°16'').
So in your diagram, you can save yourself some time by drawing the whole thing in the flat (all the base circles and the connector lines), selecting it all, and performing the two steps.
With circles, the advantage of first rotating to 45° is that the anchorPoints of the resulting isometric ellipses will be oriented on the isometric axes, providing snap-to locations for alignment to other isometric edges. Alternatively, apply Object>Path>Add Anchor Points to the circle either before or after the vertical scale. That will add anchorPoints at the middle of each segment, and after scaling vertically, you'll have anchorPoints at the major diameter, minor diameter, and isometric diameters.
If you then want to use true proportion for the height of the cylinders, move copies of the isometric ellipses vertically a distance of true measure multiplied by .8165—cosine of the isometric angle—(or scaled to 81.65% vertically).
Example: Assume you want a properly-proportioned cylinder of diameter 1.25" and length .375".
1. Draw a 1.25" circle.
2. Scale it vertically 57.74%.
3. DoubleClick the black pointer tool. In the move dialog, key your true-length measure (.375), followed by a multiplication symbol (*), followed by .8165. Then cllick the Copy button.
4. White pointer: Select the bottom anchorPoint of both ellipses. Copy. Paste In Front.
5. Press Ctrl and tap J twice (shortcut for Join). That gives you the side of the cylinder, to which you can now apply a horizontal linear grad.
So you could draw that whole diagram in a matter of minutes and end up with properly-proportioned heights (if it matters), and end up with clean & tidy path constructions to which you can apply ordinary linear grads, instead of having the possibly hundreds of paths which 3D Effect will ultimately produce.
On the other hand, you could also simply go ahead and use 3D Effect in its Isometric Top preset orientation, for each of the differently-shaped objects. Then store them as Symbols. Then stack and arrange Instances of the Symbols to construct the diagram.
Example: Assume you want to draw the object that is labeled Supplier in your screenshot in numerical diameter-to-height proportion, with diameter 1" and height .5".
1. Draw the green, blue, and orange objects in the flat. (Radial Grid tool would be handy for this.) Give them solid fills, no strokes. Group them.
2. Proportionally scale the set of circular shapes to 72 pts (which is 1").
2. Effect>3D>Extrude & Bevel. Select Isometric Top from the popup menu. Set the Extrude Depth to 36 pts (which is .5").
3. Drag the result to the Symbols palette.
4. Arrange as many instances of the Symbol as needed in the diagram.
In other words, as long as you measure dimensions of the base paths in points, the Extrude Depth setting in 3D Extrude & Bevel is proportional.
