Transform Effect problems when used with 3D layer's depth

Here is my set up.
I have PreComp with graphics illustrator imported layer with continuosly rasterise enabled.
This graphics has a reflection underneath it. I made the reflection by applying Transform effect, setting offset to -100 and adjusting the Anchor point.
As far as graphics move left to right (X,Y) there is no problem and Anchor point is in its place.
As soon as I make the layer 3D and start changing depth values the reflection starts to jump around.
My guess is - it happens because anchor point is a constant value and since reflection is based off its value it does not follow the base of the graphics. Purhasps there is a code snippet which need to be used to link the Anchor Point value to the Zoom Value? Adjusting Anchor point values with key frames proved too difficult.
In another words I would like to keep the reflection at a constant distance from the base of the graphics and once the graphics move out or in the reflection does not follow.
I PreComposed this graphics and imported it into the new Compostion and applied XY and Z movement using camera and Null layers. It was the same effect and reflection did not stick to the base of the graphics.
I need to keep Collapse Transformation enabled on all the consecutive Comps/PreComps to make sure the vector art renders at high quality.
What would be a proper way to make a reflection of a 3D layer/preComp  in the Comp where movement controlled with Camera and Null layers, with Continuosly Rasterise/Collapse Transformations enabled?

Great! At least I know not to spent my time in a wrong direction.
Two questions:
Do I need to enable "Collapse Transformations" in the final rendering Comp in order to keep "Continuously Rasterize" settings within the nested PreComps enabled (for illustrator files rendering sharp). I have a few nested preComps and originally activated "Continuously Rasterize" throughout the project in all of them.
"How" to create reflections seem clear from your comment. Do not use any effects but rather create a copy of a layer I would like to have a reflection of and scale it to -100. "When" seems to be a mystery. Should I apply reflection in the very first preComp or very last or the one where I create all the major animation for my graphics?

  • Line Graph Problem when used with Series

    I am facing a problem with Line Graph in Oracle Reports 10g.
    I have made a graph having series of three curves.
    The graph is perfect when all series have similar X-Axis values. See the link
    http://www.sysautomation.com/ask/RPT_LINE_GRAPH_OK.PDF
    But same graph does not print curves properly, gives spaces in the curves, when all the series do not have similar values on X-Axis
    http://www.sysautomation.com/ask/RPT_LINE_GRAPH_NOT_OK.PDF
    Pl. guide me what to do to make this graph working.

    Thanks for reply.
    In my case, I have to plot curves.
    and some Series have different X-axis values.
    I have no choice, but to plot them.
    The same thing was working fine with Reports 6i + Graphics 6i.
    What is Scatter Plot?
    Thanks again.
    This is a limitation in the current line graph in
    Reports 10g (9.0.4). I can't recall whether this has
    improved in 10.1.2 or it was planned for the next
    rev.
    Would trying a scatter plot be better?
    Line graphs are normally meant for regular intervals
    on x-axis, so using the example of dates, Jan, Feb
    and Dec would be placed right next to each other,
    rather than scaled with the right distance between
    Feb and Dec.

    My goal his to display a native documant(like word) as web view html.
    My problem his that i got this error:

    Can anyone have an idea for this problem?
    Note: i have another application that running in a different enviornment that work fine except hebrew problem.
    Thanks,
    Eran z

    Hi Eran ,
    Root cause for this issue :
    In a windows based cluster environment intradoc.cfg had weblayout and vault pointing to the UNC path of the shared file system . This is a known bug / issue with the cluster environment where in indexer would fail .
    Here too the same issue was causing the issue where in the files being checked in are failing to get indexed due to the UNC path set for weblayoutdir and vaultdir values in intradoc.cfg .
    Solution :
    Map the shared file system to a drive letter like Y:/weblayout and Y:/vault .
    Use these values in weblayoutdir and vaultdir in intradoc.cfg and restart the server.
    After the re-index the entire collection to resolve the issue .
    Thanks

  • TS2570 doesn't work, still the same problem when using Rapidweaver software. NOT with other software.

    i tried everything in this article, but still have the same problem when using Rapidweaver software. NOT with other software. I am converting my iWeb site  to Rapidweaver, whenever there is a calmer period in my office. I have 16 Gb RAM on my NEW iMac and have Parallels desktop, mail, safari, iWeb and Rapidweaver running simultanious.
    I never have the problem if i don't use Rapidweaver, but after i have added several pages to Rapidweaver, the problem begins. my iMac won't start up. the only thing that works is re-installing Macos OS X 10.8. i tried even whiping the completeharddrive, and reinstalling with a complete new user, the same problem.
    I had it on my previous iMac also, and bought a new one because i thought the problem was in the iMac first. i hadn't noticed it only happens with using rapidweaver.
    i sent my complete rapidweaver project to the programmers from rapidweaver at Realmacsoftware, but they couldnt reproduce my problem, there macs started up without any problem.
    i deleted all the rapidweaver addons and extra stacks, and started a complete new project.
    saterday i had the problem again, after adding about 5 new pages to my rapidweaver site.
    i think i have reinstalled Macos OS X 10.8.2 20 or 30 times by now

  • Problem when pre-composing masked layer

    Ok, i am having a problem when masking a Twixtored layer.
    this is what happens:
    i have the original footage in a comp, i used twixtor to slow it down to 3% speed
    Seen here: http://prntscr.com/zbicc
    I Then pre composed that slowed down layer into a comp of it's own and masked around that parts i wanted and named this comp "masked comp 1"
    Seen here: http://prntscr.com/zbitw
    and here: http://prntscr.com/zbiyc
    i then precomposed the masked layer into another comp called "sky replacement" and this is when i hit the problem, it dosn't show up, it just gives me a black screen.
    Seen here: http://prntscr.com/zbj9n
    and here: http://prntscr.com/zbjcn
    I tried rendering out "Masked comp 1" and "sky replacement" and with both it just renders a black screen, but if i render the Twixtored comp that renders fine. So i think it has somthing to do with the mask but i can't figure it out.
    Please help.

    The black screen notwithstanding, I see two VERY big problems in the workflow as described... or at least as how I understand your workflow.
    You used Twixtor to slow down video to 3% of its normal speed:  that represents tons and tons of speed redeuction, and you're lucky that Twixtor was able to give you a useful image AT ALL.  Then you precomped it, too boot.
    Then you hoped against all hope that you could effectively mask the precomp... which was presumably at the target frame rate.
    Give yourself a fighting chance to come up with something:  once you use Twxtor, prerender it.  And I have to tell you: if you are actually using Twixtor to slow down footage to 3% of normal speed, it probably won't look good.  Twixtor is great for minor speed variations, but for 3% of normal?  It can't work miracles......

  • My iPhone 5 got problem when connect with lighting cable, this will keep pop up message "this accessory may not be supported"

    My iPhone 5 got problem when connect with lighting cable, this will keep pop up message "this accessory may not be supported", I can't charge or sync at all. I tried plug and unplug many time, still can't detect/charge my iPhone5, but sometime will 'lucky' that can connect to my iTunes and charge battery…
    This message will auto pop up also when I don't have plug anything in my iPhone 5, It is very annoying…
    The lighting cable is original and now i'm using OS 7.0.4 / iTunes is 11.1.3
    What I can do to fix this problem? Thank you.

    I would try using another cable you can likely borrow one to test from somebody
    if it's the same then likely the connector in your iphone have been damaged

  • ORA-01403: no data found Problem when using AUTOMATIC ROW FETCH to populate

    ORA-01403: no data found Problem when using AUTOMATIC ROW FETCH to populate a form.
    1) Created a FORM on EMP using the wizards. This creates an AUTOMATIC ROW FETCH
    TABLE NAME - EMP
    Item Containing PRIMARY KEY - P2099_EMPNO
    Primary key column - EMPNO
    By default the automatic fetch has a ‘Process Error Message’ of ‘Unable to fetch row.’
    2) Created a HTML region. Within this region add
    text item P2099_FIND_EMPNO
    Button GET_EMP to submit
    Branch Modified the conditional branch created during button creation to set P2099_EMPNO with &P2099_FIND_EMPNO.
    If I then run the page, enter an existing employee number into P2099_EMPNO and press the GET_EMP button the form is populated correctly. But if I enter an employee that does not exist then I get the oracle error ORA-01403: no data found and no form displayed but a message at the top of the page ‘Action Processed’.I was expecting a blank form to be displayed with the message ‘Unable to fetch row.’
    I can work around this by making the automated fetch conditional so that it checks the row exists first. Modify the Fetch row from EMP automated fetch so that it is conditional
    EXIST (SQL query returns at least one row)
    select 'x'
    from EMP
    where EMPNO = :P2099_EMPNO
    But this means that when the employee exists I must be fetching from the DB twice, once for the condition and then again for the actual row fetch.
    Rather than the above work around is there something I can change so I don’t get the Oracle error? I’m now wondering if the automatic row fetch is only supposed to be used when linking a report to a form and that I should be writing the fetch process manually. The reason I haven’t at the moment is I’m trying to stick with the automatic wizard generation as much as I can.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks Pete

    0.05: Show ERROR page...
    0.05: Performing rollback...
    0.05: Processing point: AFTER_ERROR_HEADER
    I don't really wan't the error page, either nothing with the form not being populated or a message at the top of the page.

          1
    SELECT count(*) FROM my_items WHERE contains(name, 'about(Japan)', 1) > 0;

    SELECT count(*) FROM my_items WHERE contains(name, 'about(Asia)', 1) > 0;
    COUNT(*)
          0
    SELECT count(*) FROM my_items WHERE contains(name, 'about(transportation)', 1) > 0;

  • Coercion problem when using Shared Variable

    I have a curious coercion problem when using Shared Variables.  I want to share the state of a State Machine, which is an enum saved as a control (typedef) called TYPE State (see attached).  I create a shared variable called State and define it as a Custom Control, using the just-mentioned typedef.  So far, so good.  I've attached three simple VIs -- the first one, Init State, simply wires a constant to the input of the Shared Variable to initialize it -- the wired constant is, of course, defined by the typedef.  However, the Get State and Set State, meant to wire an indicator (for reading the state) or control (for setting it), develop coercion dots when wired into the Shared Variable.  Why?  How do I get rid of the dot?  [I suppose I could abandon my typedef and custom control, but the beauty of typedefs and custom controls is that it "enforces" rules, lets you use enums for clarity, keeps the code "honest", etc. -- I'd hate to give that up just to get rid of a dot!].
    On a related note, the code seems to work.  This is much too simplistic to do anything, but if you open Set State and Get State, set the state to anything, run it (it immediately stops, of course), then run Get State, you'll see the chosen state appear in the indicator.  So it does appear to work.  The "error" (coercion dot) may, I suppose, be a "bug" in Labview because it can't figure out the mapping of the (very simple!) Custom Control, but if so, I hope it gets fixed quickly!

    Hello Bob,
    I am also seeing this behavior, I will escalate this question to our LabVIEW developers and post again here no later than next Tuesday, November 27th as National Instruments will be closed for the remainder of this week.
    If this issue does turn into a product suggestion, I would suspect the workaround would to live with the coersion dot for the time being.
    Enjoy the holiday

    Fixes for some transform effects problems.
    - We were not animating the postLayout properties in some cases where we should have, effectively pinning the object in place. We now animate those properties whenever applyChangesPostLayout is true.
    - A copy/paste error meant that we did not animate the scaleZ property in cases where we should have.
    - A problem in the transform code means that using a null transform center is not the same as a transform center which uses the transformX/Y/Z properties of the target object. We now force the creation/use of a transform center in all cases to avoid that problem.
    QE notes: This breaks about a dozen tests in the transform effects area, but I believe the new results are correct and the tests/bitmaps should be changed.

    Hi Rodney
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    This sounds like one of those "oddities", contributed to by a few sources.
    I can clear the Safari cache files as a temporary solution, but I encounter the same difficulties with the “problematic” files once they have been opened again.
    Wondering if you disabled the Safari Cache would the refresh function work correctly? As a test you can disable the Safari Cache by Emptying the Cache first via the Safari menu, then Quit Safari. Now go to the Finder>Your User Library>Caches>Safari. Single click on the Safari folder, then Apple Key + I to open Info panel. There, check the "locked" box. This prevents further additions to the cache. The downside, you lose your ability to upload images etc. within Safari (my cache is disabled, so I use Firefox for the uploads).
    Then restart Safari. Try the PDF from within Safari.
