Photoshop CC Export 3D layer creates a different sized object

I have a client sending us some .dae collada files of some candy bags. My task it to resize the bag to fit the 3D case that the bag will ship in. Here's the problem: I open my bag file and the dimensions are 7.5 x 2 x 10.25. I want to resize to 5.75 x 2 x 11.75. Then I 3D > Export 3D Layer... (.dae collada) Everything seems fine but when I open the new resized .dae file, the dimensions are way bigger. The 3D Dimensions on Canvas (and in other software) somehow became 374.9 x 70.87 x 766.1 when I expected it to be 5.75 x 2 x 11.75.
Is there a way to preserve the size of the 3D Dimensions on Canvas to be the final dimensions of the exported collada file.
I've tested just creating a shape in photoshop's 3d menu and then export 3D layer and I get the same result upon re-opeining the exported shape.
I've also tested it using .obj as the exported format and also and get the same result.
Any suggestions other than using a different 3d software to scale the bag?

I have a similar issue but see that your post has not be answered. I am using 2014 so it has not been fixed. I use sketch up to resize but it would be better if I did not have to do this

  • Scale multiple differently sized objects to exact equal dimensions

    Hello guys
    What I'd like to do is the following: I have a large number (couple of hundreds) of equally shaped but differently sized objects - actually circles - and I'd like to scale them all to the exact same height and width while keeping their positions. Apparently, doing it by hand would take quite a while, so I'm looking for a single command or an automated way of doing it.
    I have already tried and excluded the following ways:
    - Selecting all objects and playing aroung with the "Transform" box always resulted in the whole selection being scaled.
    - Transform each: my objects are all differently sized, so percental scaling is of no use.
    - CMD+D: I also tried to do it by first resizing one object and then applying CMD+D to each other object by hand, but this function seems to use percental scaling as well. This means: When I scale one object from 10px to 12px (120%), then select an 8 px object, press CMD+D, the final size of the second object is 9.6px instead of 12px. ARGH.
    - Recording an action: I have little experience with actions, but it seems that the result is the same as above when I select all objects (whole selection scaled, instead of each object).
    I am using Illustrator CS5 (15.0.2) on a Mac 2.66 GHz quad-core with OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). I couldn't find a proper thread in this forum (or any other forum), so I'm starting a new one here. Maybe I didn't look properly, so please redirect me if there is one that answers my question.
    Thanks in advance!

    if they are circles, ovals, rectangles or rounded corner rectangles that is easy
    1 Select all  the objects.
    2. Go to Effect>Convert to Shape and select the shape even if it is the same shape you have already.
    3. Select Absolute as the method and enter the dimensions you wish click OK.
    4. While still selected go to Object>Expand Appearance.
    But if you have fill and a stroke for these circles they will be two separate paths of the same dimesnions each as a group.
    So you will have to either accept that or delete the paths you don't want so you will:
    1. lock all the art other than the circles
    2. Select one of the paths either with the stroke or the fill
    2. Go to Select>Same Stroke Weight
    3. Hit delete

  • I need to create three different sized posters - how do I do this?  I'm looking for a place to enter specs or know that my design can accommodate specific dimensions.

    I'm not Photoshop saavy, but I can work well in Pages.  I just need to know how to resize for different size printed materials.  For example, how do I change the size of one design to accommodate three printed pieces - 8.5" x 11", a 11" x 17", and then the same image in 24"x36"?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Commercial Printing requires images to be 300 dpi (pixels per inch).
    You will have to do the maths as we don't know how big the images are, whether they fill each size or only part of them.
    If they bleed (go off the edge of the paper) they will need an extra 3/8" (.375") on each edge.
    So for an image to fill the largest size and bleed you need an image 7425 x 11025 pixels. I hope you have a good camera. You can aways reduce the dimensions down from that.

    thanks for answer. you know like background layer. for example when you are generating web buttons you are preparing background layers. it will select a layer like that.
    also can you post full script here if possible ? thank you.

  • Open an Exported File directly in Photoshop (after exported file created)

    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var destFolder = Folder ("~/Documents");
    if (destFolder) {
         var fileName = activeDocument.name;
        var destFile = new File(destFolder + '/' + fileName);   
        var psdExportOptions = new ExportOptionsPhotoshop();
        // Set PSD export options
        psdExportOptions.saveMultipleArtboards = true;
        psdExportOptions.artboardRange = "1";
        psdExportOptions.antiAliasing = false;
        psdExportOptions.resolution = 300;
        psdExportOptions.embedICCProfile = false;
        psdExportOptions.writeLayers = false;
        psdExportOptions.imageColorSpace = ImageColorSpace.CMYK;
        doc.exportFile (destFile, ExportType.PHOTOSHOP, psdExportOptions);
    This code I created exports my current Ai document as a PSD with set options. It also names the new file what it is called in Ai.
    How can I call the created file and open it directly in Photoshop? Keep in mind I would be working on multiple files, so file names would change every time I ran this Export Script.
    I could call a specifically named file and open that, but that's not what I need this script to do. I just need it to open the newly created PSD file. Any help would be greatly apreciated!!!

    Hi Mark,
    BridgeTalk or for simple commands like this, Interapp communication (Cross-DOM)
    use photoshop.open(fileObject);
    before that you need to build your newly exported file object
         doc.exportFile (destFile, ExportType.PHOTOSHOP, psdExportOptions);
    var psfile = new File(destFolder + '/' + fileName.split('.')[0] + '-01.psd');
    if (psfile.exists) {
         //alert('file exists')
        photoshop.open(psfile);
    else
        alert('file does not exist');

  • Export 3D Layer grayed out (need to export my volume)

    Here's the situation.
    I have a lot of single-frame DICOM files that I have loaded into layers by using File > Scripts > load multiple DICOM files. I then select all the layers and go 3D > New Volume From Layers. Everything works well up to this point - I can rotate and view the object in different render settings. It looks good.
    Now I need to export this 3d object to a file I can open in 3ds max. According to the adobe help (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Photoshop/11.0/WS09CA93D5-A4AE-4936-956F-3F2742FF3F91.html) I should use the 3D > Export 3d Layer. However, this option is grayed out for me; I can't click it! Why not - did I miss a step or something?
    Because I got as far as creating a volume, I assume it's not a problem with the DICOM files or my method of loading them. Because the volume is already there it's a volume-related problem, as far as I can tell.
    (Just to make sure it isn't a problem with my computer, I did a simple unrelated 3D postcard, and then the option was available.)

    did I miss a step or something?
    Volumes have no polygons, so there is nothing to export, plain and simple. Guess why in most medical viz bones and organs are still hand-modeled using conventional techniques! If it were that simple as exporting a few MRT scans from a volume, then there would be no need for that. You will need a proper tool to generate polygon meshes from volume slices and voxels. VoluMedic is for Lightwave, but I'm sure something similar and equally expensive also exists for MAX.

  • What's showing in the layer palette is different than what is on the canvas - Illustrator CS6

    I am not a super user in Illustrator but I know my way around it and understand more than the basics.  I downloaded this vector from Shutterstock, but what I am seeing on the layer palette is different from what is on the canvas and if I try to save or export it to anything else the result comes out looking like the layers palette - almost black.
    And it's only happening on a few of the objects, as you can see from the image, the apple and other leaves are fine.  It is also doing it to the pumkin and some of the grapes in the cornicopia.  Any idea what is going on?  I checked all my layers to see if something looked weird but they all look fine...
    When I open the original .eps file from Shutterstock in Photoshop, I get the same black objects.

    What OS? If Mac, then this might be affecting you.

  • Crop + mass rasterized export by layer?

    Hi I have a very large map in illustrator format.
    I have taken satellite data and resized it so it matches my map.
    I would like to be able to crop my map so that all my layers are the same size, and then export each layer as a raster to photoshop.
    Is there any way I can easily do this?  Thanks in advance.

    thanks for the quick reply mike.
    When I try to do this it tells me 'not enough memory to save file'  whether I have layers or flat checked
    Do you know of any workarounds for this?
    Also I don't need to export the whole image, so I tried to create a smaller artboard so that I'm only exporting the area of the map I need
    but when I do this I get "cannot create artboard outside the canvas.  Please rearrange and try again."
    I even get the same thing if I try to duplicate my only existing artboard!

  • Photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden.  happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point

    photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden.  happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point.  i really need to get thsi figured out. thank you.

    You may have answered my question. I AM using the 64bit version of Illustrator CS6. I had no idea there were bugs in it that affected paths copied and pasted from Illustrator to Photoshop.
    A bit more about what I'm trying to accomplish... I'm trying to follow Deke's tutorial (http://www.deke.com/content/dekes-techniques-018-creating-a-3d-pie-chart) which is already difficult since so much has changed between CS5.5 and 6, but then on top of that, I keep getting errors!
    So I created the pie chart exactly as he shows and copied and pasted into Photoshop exactly as he does. Before submitting this post, though, I tried drawing just two very simple triangle shapes, copying them both and pasting them into Photoshop as a shape layer. The shapes weren't overlapping, but they were a part of the same shape layer just like the pie chart tutorial.
    Thanks for your help. If there is anything else I should try before just giving up because of the 64bit bugs, please let me know.

  • Mimic Photoshop's Bevel & Emboss layer style in Illustrator - how?

    Having searched for topics akin to my question, I have only really found tips on how to achieve a bevel and emboss on type.
    Here's what I'm trying to create... all using CS4...
    I have an artwork, all in Illustrator so far. It has background images of people (as cut-outs), imported from Photoshop, with layer masks, saved as PSD's, to preserve transparency around the figures, which allows me to compose them over each other and other various component graphics, resident in the Illustrator document. This helps me keep all the graphical elements fully editable in the design/layout as only the people come from Photoshop.
    The design has been finalised with the addition of a bevel and emboss layer effect, to the whole bounding box area of the design. I.e. the complete 900 x 700 pixel area is affected by the bevel and emboss - all the various underlying pixels of photoshop elements and Illustrator elements.
    So far, I have only been able to achieve this by taking the whole thing back into Photoshop, as a single layer and then applying the Bevel&Emboss layer style effect!
    Is there a way to keep this all in Illustrator?
    It seems daft to have to go back into Photoshop just for the B&E effect... and a little dangerous, in case this step gets overlooked in the future!
    My current thoughts involve a couple of shaped blends with a screen and multiply overlay setting for the light and shaded edges... but this is just my mind clicking!
    Would love to know if this can be achieved in Illy.

    Out of curiosity... and to better understand what Illustrator can do, I'd like to try both of your methods.
    However, I'm a little lost with your explanation of the second method...
    Can you expand on giving the "L" shaped path (that has been outlined): two fills?
    Or the rectangle that has been outlined: four fills?
    How do you give a shape more than one fill, gradient or otherwise?
    And how do you deal with the light and dark intersections of the two grad styles (as appears in the bottom left and top right corners), did the 45° meeting point just happen or do you have to alter the geometry?
    Any chance I could have the .ai file to pull apart?
    Another method I found myself, after some experimenting is as follows...
    Dotted white line = page/design bounds.
    Give 'Shape A' a white drop shadow (Effect > Stylise > Drop shadow) with a "screen" mode and positive values for X and Y offset. This gives a light shadow below and to the right.
    Make 'Shape B' a Clipping Mask for 'Shape A' - this leaves nothing but the drop shadow showing.
    Give 'Shape D' a black drop shadow (Effect > Stylise > Drop shadow) with a "multiply" mode and negative values for X and Y offset. This gives a dark shadow above and to the left.
    Make 'Shape C' a Clipping Mask for 'Shape D' - this leaves nothing but the drop shadow showing.
    Here's the result...
    Put the new geometry (light and dark bevel shapes) on a layer at the top and, hey presto, they'll influence anything on levels below.
    Only downside of this method is that the drop shadows can take a while to render, each time they are adjusted, so it's worth turning them off (or hiding their layer) while working on other areas of the design.
    Also, with all of these methods, you don't get quite the same intersections at the bottom left and top right corners, as you do with the bevel and emboss layer style/effect in Photoshop... but that's being really picky!
    Thanks for helping with this and hope it helps others.
    Still want to work through your methods though.

    I had a lot of grief with this exact problem. I fixed it by deleting my printers in mac OSX preferences. I have not re-added them yet, but since removing the printers I have not had the problem occur since - and this is after an erase and install, an archive and install,upgrading to CSII and calls to Adobe phone support were of no help. Everything else in the CS suite worked, except photshop. Photoshop would work if I created a new user account, but this work-around was not acceptable to me. In desperation, with deadlines looming, I was about to do another erase and fresh install when I found this:
    Solution 6: Re-create your printers in Mac OS X.
    To re-create your printers, first delete them and then add them again.
    To delete your printers:
    1. Open System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    2. Select Print & Fax, and click Printing.
    3. Select each printer in the list and click the delete key (the minus key).
    For instructions on how to add your printers again, see "Setting up to print to a printer" in Mac Help or search Help using the phrase "add a printer."
    http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/331627.html
    That fixed the problem for me and I really hope that helps someone else. This was a terrible and frustrating problem for me, not only am I a design student but I also earn a living using the Adobe software and my mac, and Photoshop is one of my primary tools.
