post your file and let’s have a look. What version are you using?I'm afraid my files are protected by an NDA so I can't post this specific file. Trying to "recreate" the issue with a new test file never yields the same results.
@line-weight come to think of it, you might be right in that it happens more frequently if I navigate back and forth from sheet to model space using the "edit design layer" in the drop down...
Close and re-open seems to fix it but yes... it's very frustrating.

@JoeTomp did you ever find a solution to this? it's driving me crazy...
@Jeff Prince I have no objects that are far away from the origin
@Pat Stanford I'm not sure how to do this...?
thanks

Hello all,
I'm using the built in cabinet tool to create a VERY simple upper corner cabinet with an uneven end. (cabinet is 3'-0" with a 2'-0" uneven side). Doors are flush mount with a 1" reveal around. For some reason, I'm ending up with a gap - as though the door is 3/4" too narrow. Anyone else run into this?
attaching a test file.
Thanks

Thanks Jeff, sorry I'm just getting around to trying this. I only see the "Save viewport cache" option in my preferences and this is already turned off.
Pat: that file that you sent through was still not working properly on my end...
Still having the issue.

Thanks Pat. I'm on VW2020 - MacOS Catalina. This file was initially created from a VW2023 down-saved floor plan, but there was only 2d lines - no 3d components.
-
Thanks Jeff,
I think that you're probably right about it being a corrupt file... or something that didn't regenerate properly when I opened the file again after the crash. I've attempted in the past to adjust a file that was acting up to try and send through for others like yourself to take a look at but in doing so it usually "solves" the issue (probably deletes whatever was causing the issue in the first place). I think that I've been able to remove enough "identifiable" information to send through a file.
Pls see attached. Thanks! VW - Test File.vwx

What I can share is a screen grab of my current model when attempting to view in model space in OpenGL. Clearly something corrupt happening.
-
thanks Jeff, unfortunately the set itself is protected by the NDA so I'm unable to send through any files. 😣
Pls let me know if you have any other thoughts or things I might try. I really appreciate it!

Ugh... is always where I get tripped up unfortunately as I work as a set designer so my work is NDA. Any attempt to recreate the problem in a generic file never produces the same issues! I have tried multiple different render modes and they all produce a blank viewport. Hidden line seems to be the only one that works.
-
I've also tried cutting new section viewports and starting over with no luck there either.
-
Thanks for your reply, Pat. I do have draw edges checked, yes. I actually have not changed my settings in the viewport from when it WAS working prior to quitting unexpectedly. I've also tried switching back and forth from multiple rendering modes (both in viewport and in model space).
Any other thoughts?
-
I'm having an issue with section viewports that were rendering fine until my program suddenly force quit. Now the viewports are appearing as white or blank in OpenGL. Elevations appear in hidden line. Edit section in place takes me to a blank model space although I can hover over objects so I know they're there (normally my model space background is grey - now it's stark white). Attached are some images to help describe what I'm experiencing. VW 2020 on 2020 iMac (pimped out) running Catalina.

Has there been a fix for this?
I'm experiencing the same thing and it's incredibly frustrating considering the time it takes to render a viewport.

adding textures to windows and doors by assigning classes to those components doesn't allow for texture scaling/rotation etc... has anyone figured out a work around for this?

Thanks for your response. I don't know what you mean by Oriel Walls but this is also a film set so built a little differently (if that's what is confusing you)
But the reason behind the opening and window combo is that there is a "bench" below the window at a lower height than the window proper. it's the only way I could think of combining to get this effect. This same thing occurs with an opening in a wall (which I have between two rooms)
Turning the sill class off doesn't seem to change the appearance.
-
Does anyone know if there is a way to turn off the lines that show up in a horizontal section cut if there is an "opening" in the wall? These lines make it appear as though there is a window which isn't the case. I've tried setting all window components to a class that is turned off but this hasn't worked. This is an opening... there should not be any lines appearing in plan!
attached is a screenshot of what I'm referring to.

I have reset my settings and I'm still not getting a prompt to use the selected crop object for my viewport. Is there an update on this issue?
Thanks
-
Is ambient occlusion turned on in your viewport lighting options?
I find that makes the difference between a flat OpenGL render and one that has a lot more depth.
-
Is there a way to reset the origin of an object (ie. extrude) that has been mirrored from its original orientation so that when you edit the object it remains editable relative to the rest of the model?
-
I think I've figured it out. a little finicky but I'll get the hang of it. Thank you!
-
is this when grabbing an object to move? I see it locking the axis but the object doesn't want to move...
EDIT: Ok so I've messed with a few of my shortcut keys (can anyone advise which tool/key I should be searching for to reset it??
-
Is there any way to snap to a specific axis when manipulating objects in 3d similar to the feature offered in Sketchup?
If not is there a way to WishList this request? It would make moving objects in 3d space SO much more streamlined.
-
@Kazemester Thank you for the suggestion... I definitely think this is a good workaround and has been working much better. However I'm still unclear as to how to rendering something so that it actually "glows". For example, if you have a bare lightbulb... can you only achieve the glow if you transmit through a glass material?
Thanks

I'm having some issues generating area lights to that the whole object renders as a light and I'm hoping someone can shed some light on what might be occurring? I've attached an image of an object (profile with a 360 sweep) to be used as a string light but when I convert to area, it's very faceted. Is there a key to creating an area light that I'm missing?

Thanks @Jeff Prince but unfortunately my file and all of the content within IS what is protected. Removing objects so that it's unrecognizable more often then not "fixes" the problem... not a helpful fix cause it means deleting my work!
I know it's frustrating. I run into this NDA issue a lot.
