Yes, right. That is how the grid in Orthogonal would be viewed for profile and front regardless of camera height - a straight line because it is not a true 3D view (unlike isometric).

But I may understand what dogged2003 meant. He probably wants a new feature.
Like in Blender. If you do 5 (orthogonal/isometric switch) and then 1 or 3 on keypad, the auxiliary, auto scale-able grid is applied to view-port (even if floor grid is turned OFF).
This helps a lot while tweaking/aligning objects. But that's Blender.

I am on the other hand still waiting for Orthogonal camera view in iClone. Justavikings FT issue since 2 years ago is still Active

The Grid is present, your Bear is standing on it, just as the Truck in the shot below is standing on it when viewed from the Front.

I managed to get it working with a fix in another thread somewhere.  I have my computer hooked up to a 55 inch 4k tv.  Usually there's no big issues with scaling but all the Reallusion programs (character creator, clone....) are a little messed up for me. Tiny buttons and tools or text that goes behind another pannel etc.  No settings will fix this on either my computer or television. 
Apparently 3dxchanges complete failure to run at all was something to do with this issue. 
THE FIX
     I clicked on the icon for 3dxchange and went to compatibility, "Change high DPI settings" and checked Override high DPI scaling behavior.
In the dropdown below I changed it to "System (enhanced)"

3dxchange now runs and any abnormalities in the other Reallusion programs seem to be fixed when I repeated the process with them.



Hope this helps someone else.

I downloaded the trial for iclone and 3dxchange yesterday and was considering buying it until I tried to start 3dxchange and found it just pops up and vanishes immediately.  Then I remembered that was the reason I didn't buy either program 2 years ago when I tried them.  I've never been able to get any version of  3dxchange to run on my computer.  I have Windows 10 with a GTX 970.  My only interest is in using iclone for vr animations. I haven't gotten around to looking at all the new features in iclone 7 but I'm guessing it still has no stereoscopic 360 cameras so without 3dxchange it's useless to me.

Is there a fix for the issue I'm having?

Not really a bug just can't figure out the work flow.  Trying to import some cute Genesis 3 and Genesis 8 animations into iclone 7 but not successful.  I had imported many Genesis 2 animations with no problem.  When I get to 3dxchange, something goes wrong at the motion retargeting process.  After converting to non standard and selecting the Daz4Genesis presets, the circle stays red and I can't go any farther.  Is there a different work flow for bringing in a BVH for Genesis 3 and 8?

As this was a relatively minor update for 3DXchange 7, the full version remains at 7.2. It will likely not be updated until 7.3.

For the Daz Genesis Extensions, version 4 is the latest. The version number is included in the filename for this zip file.

Hi Richard,

Sorry to hear you are having problems with 3DXchange 7.

Can you give us some examples of the models that you are having problems getting 3DXchange to open so we can test them. 

Regarding Sketchup models, you are correct that 3DXchange can only open models in the 2015 format, but that shouldn't really be a problem as most models from the Trimble Warehouse can be downloaded in 2015 format. And for your own Sketchup models you can choose to save in 2015 format as well as the latest 2018 format.

So here i am again with more problems.  I seem to spend more time resolving or should i say trying to resolve problems with Reallusion products than i do actually earning a living.  something has to give here but lkie an addict i carry on but time is running out, bills have to be paid!!

So whats the issue today...........3DX Change 7 which was not exactly cheap for doing not much more than before!! 

Try to bring assets in from Sketchfab ... only achieved one assty in, all others rejected by 3DX Change.

Try to bring in assets from CGTrader , took a week to work out workarounds,  facecounts too high etc!!!! FFS

Try to bring in 2018 models from Sketchup , no only allows 2015 models!! WTF

Please are we the only firm having problems with 3DX Change????????

We have to eat, and to eat we have to work and we are getting nowhere with the time we spend on constant problems and issues. i think i am going insane with this and one of the guys here already has!
