    Model disappears when entering flyover mode (or leaving top / plan view)

      Cornucopia of ideas (well, a few) that probably have no bearing:

    • stray object or two far from origin?
    • objects with insane vertex count recently added?
    • corrupt object/symbol messing with graphics?
    • drawing is in a saved view with settings that prevent certain layers/classes from showing?
    • unified view settings preventing proper display?
    • a stuck key on the keyboard?
    • mouse battery?

     

    Hope you get this back on track

    Just what I needed; a checklist!

    It was the corrupt object that had me thinking. My biggest hint was that it didn't happen every time. About 1/3 of the time I was able to flyover especially if I clicked and held for a few second then rotated. 

    I started with each layer selected and tried to flyover. I systematically deselected a layer and tried the flyover again. Eventually I isolated the top floor plan containing the walls only. Even if I only selected this layer it would glitch. Next I selected "top/plan" with just this layer then "Zoom/Fit to Objects". There it was. Then "Front" and "Zoom/Fit to object" and the ruler scale went to some astronomically distant number. I think I was viewing the model from Neptune. 

    A quick redraw of one layer (still in prelim phase) and I'm back in business.

    My guess as to what happened is something in the "AEC/Fit Walls to Objects..." command. I think I'll do this manually next time.

    Thank you everyone and all the best,

    Jake

    I had the same thing happen to my model. Was just about to start new post thread:
     

    Model disappears when flyover-

    This only happens occasionally and have had to rebuild the model in the past. Hoping to avoid that this time. 

    Occasionally something happens to my model that makes it disappear when using the flyover tool.  It doesn't happen every time, usually when more layers are selected and more often in OpenGL, not Wireframe.

    Has anyone had this issue and aware of a fix?

     

    By the way, I did not have the issue resolved by deselecting ClipCube. 

    I've also got the Navigation Graphics set to "Best Compatability"

    I can upload the file if that helps...

    Installer fails due to low disk space, but there is more than enough

    @Jeremy Best

    I really appreciate the info but unfortunately, this isn't working for me. I've downloaded multiple times, unzipped with 7zip, Winrar, and Winzip and still I get the warning saying I don't have space. I do indeed have space, 150GB in fact. I have contacted my VW tech support directly and am waiting to hear back. Thanks again for your efforts. I'll post a solution if I find one.

    Would love to hear from @AJ Roslevich if he/she was able to get a better result.

    I have a lot of tight dimensions and just want to turn the text within the dimension by 90° as seen in attached jpg. 

    (1'-9 1/2" dimension shown is not a solution but a very slow workaround)

    It seems like this should be somewhere within VW...? Am I missing something?

    Here's an example file.

     

    ^ Love this. It does look like one of those bench mounted ones, doesn't it. I wonder how much force it takes to open a bottle. My guess was based on it having a force rating stamped on it. I always notice the nerdy tech info.... Benson's right about the geometry. There is something else going on beyond my simplified version.

    @jakezyou designing some climbing walls?

     

    For the curious, that's a bolt hanger used in climbing to clip a quickdraw and rope into (or anchor to).  Typically anchored into rock with an expansion bolt, or t-nutted to a plywood climbing wall.

     

    Wow, clearly I have to change my forum settings so I get emails when people respond to my questions. You guys are amazing! Thank you so much.

    Yes, I design climbing walls and am slowly adding to my library of itsy bitsy details so I can just plug them into any drawing I'm working on. (It isn't great for opening a beer bottle, better to use a H-frame carabiner :))

    Hi Jakez, I was given the fix for the issue from the Vectorworks tech support, and they were only aware of the issue on the Mac side. Did you try deleting the same file to see if that helps? 

     

    I haven't done that yet. I'm still in "work-around mode". Also, I feel like there's possibly some preference that I accidentally selected that's causing my issue.

    Not just a Macbook issue. I'm running Windows 10 home with VW2018. See screenshot.

    I'm still able to render using keyboard shortcuts but drop down menu option is greyed out.

    Unlike the others, my issue occursInkedScreenshot_2017-11-20_11_09.06_LI.thumb.jpg.78ee0a0c65c67bc35ccdae141946953a.jpg while working on a standard design layer, not a viewport.
