Anyone know of a good way to paint stripes, ADA symbols, etc. on a topo model?
We've tried in-place families and downloaded families but it's really hard to get each and every one to sit flat on a surface that is not absolutely level - our clients are pretty amused to see stripes floating off the surface in renderings - complete with shadows.
Another rendering issue that has been a real pain since waaaay back is getting ceiling tile patterns to align in renderings - looks pretty dumb when you hace ceiling tile grids not aligning with lights and soffits etc.

Make sure that you "pick host" and choose the topo surface for site items. Arrays may not respond proprly so you may have to ungroup a few objects.
As for the ceiling tile problem, you can set a new x-y start point, but it is global for that material and may not get everything in line if you have different ceilings using the same material. A trick you could do is use a ceiling material with no grid pattern in it, render the scene, then copy the scene as save out the hidden line view the same size as your render. Then in Photoshop composite the two images back together to get the ceiling grid to appear in the correct location.

For the paint stripes and ADA i generally do these as subregions... That way they follow the topo exactly.

Mr. Spot do you mean that you draw each of the painted lines as a sub-region. I tried to do this but since I have 100plus parking stalls on my site it takes a lot of time to do this. Could you recommend another solution?
Thanks

Do it all in one sketch and draw one, then copy it around. 100 wouldn't take more than 5 minutes...

Your suggestion sounds like a great workaround until Adesk get the site tools to where they should be (R9.1 please)
But...
After carefully adding all stripes, symbols, etc to the subregion boundary, I find that only the first-created closed area displays. If I select that and click on "Edit Boundary" all the lines display - deleting the first closed area and then clicking on "Finish Sketch" saves the sub-region but now only the next closed area displays.
Must every sub-region be one contiguous area?
