How can I install medium resolution Material
Library images?
In addition to the Material Library images installed by default with AutoCAD
Architecture , you may also install the Medium Image Material Library if you
plan to perform large renders or create close-ups of objects which require high
quality textures. Installation takes place after you've installed AutoCAD
Architecture . When you invoke either the RENDER or RENDERCROP
command from within AutoCAD Architecture , a task dialog will appear to
provide an opportunity for downloading the Medium Image Material Library.
How can I be sure available service packs are
included in my installation?
You can include a service pack for your installation in the Service Pack section
of the Installer configuration page. Three options are available:
■ Download the available service packs from Autodesk.
■ Install a service pack from your local network drive.
■ Do not install a service pack.
If you select the option to download and apply a service pack from Autodesk,
it will be downloaded automatically. If your installation is up-to-date, a message
will tell you that a service pack is not available.
What features can I customize?
Most features are pre-selected for installation with AutoCAD Architecture .
However, you can de-select any feature you choose not to install or select one
of the few features that have not been pre-selected. To do so, you must first
reveal the feature tree, which is hidden when you choose a Typical install in
