Good to know thanks for the tip

I am getting this message now!! but have 19 Gb of free ram (32 total). iMac i7 2012??
Very disappointing this is happening - not an overly complex model either, seems to happen after repeated renderings with Bitmap tool.
Now I can t save my file, I have auto save every ten minutes-so no biggy but for 3000$ for Landmark.....

Ok now I am having a lot of trouble with a circular path. All i need it for is presentation, its a small path on fairly flat terrain, I have been unable to get a closed circular polygon, road , pad or texture bed to look like a road on top the Site Model.
If I start with a 2d closed circular poly either as the center line or one side of the road what would you do next??
no matter what I have tried I cannot get the Pad, bed or road to sit nicely on the surface. I did convert to road-nurbs from object and it almost worked but there was no fill to the road and not all the sections successfully made it to the surface.
When I try to start with 2d Poly>Convert to road not Nurbs it doesn't all get to the surface after updating the Site Model
Thanks for any help.

Thanks Peter,
It was the elevation, I raised it a little at it works now. Seems that the send to surface , in general is not too reliable, I also had some trees that refuse to go to the surface in one area, even though the aeea was definitely covered by the Site Model.
After I made a pad though in that area I was able to send the trees to the surface successfully.
Do you also know a work around when Send to Surface does not work? I originally made my plan with no site model now that I added a site model I need to get everything to the surface, things like a tennis court, shelters trees etc. So far I have made a pad for a basketball court then made 3d polys for the court lines, fences and basket and pole. This technique seems to work OK.
I appreciate any advice.
I used Landmark years ago, it was very buggy. I am thrilled overall with how much better it is, but also disappointed that , it seems , send to surface is still buggy.
Of course my brand new iMac, with i7 and 32GB of ram, makes using LM/VW a pleasure compared to a Pentium 450 with windows.
Thanks again.

I must be missing something basic, I made a nurbs roadway and have a site model, it was successfully sent to the surface and everything looks fine in top/plan view. But in other views there is no surface to the road only the center line. The road has a width, I also checked the class textures and tried changing fills and everything else I can think of.
Do I also have to make a texture bed , to show the road surface?
Thanks For any feedback.

Hi,
How can I get the workspace editor to show Japanese fonts for menu items.
The Japanese plugins work fine, but the menu text is garbled . Obviously a font issue, can I force VW to use a different font in the menus?
System language is set to Japanese . And the dialog boxes are ok in Japanese .
Landmark, 2013 USA version
iMac 2012 i7 mountain lion
Thanks

Having trouble exporting Pic or Pdf of rendered scene
in General Discussion
Posted · Edited by steve s
Hi Please help if you can,
I have a rendered scene, takes about 15 mins . to render, when I try to export as pic or pdf , the results are a black image. Also had this result from batch render to pdf. Also Print to PDF results in a black image???
The scene renders fine on screen.
Also is there a way to avoid the accidental disturbance of the render causing it to re-render?
**just discovered batch render, is that the best way to export a large rendered job?
***Well its something in the Custom RW setup its working now with Final RW
Other difficulties though, keep having to close Vw and start over after a few render tries, as textures stopped rendering and sometimes entire objects will not render till I restart VW - anyone else having to do this? I have 32 gb ram new imac 2gb video card.
Appreciate any advice
