Incomplete rendering

[Rosebud Studios]

Longtime VectorWorks, first time RenderWorks.

I've applied textures to my walls, roofs and decks and in each layer by themselves they look great. When I looked at a 3D view while I was applying the textures they looked good also. But when I completed the textures I could no longer see some of the detail in the roof and the detail in the shadowed areas disappeared and on the light side of the building (in 3D) there was no texture visible.

On my sheet of elevations the four elevations would not render at all.

I gradually turned off each layer until I only had one layer showing and that layer would render just fine.

Is this a memory issue? Or is there something somewhere that might be turned off or on that I can adjust?

ED, Are you using LAYER LINKS ? If not, that may be your problem.

Yes, Peter I've linked the layers and tried opening different isometric views to see the result of the texturing as I added the textures to the individual "source" layers.

I could see the textures fine until I was almost complete with adding textures to the layers.

When I viewed the sheet of 4 elevations which were also model views, they never showed the textures. This is what made me think it might be to much memory required to render 4 models at a time.

I'm planning on doubling my memory, but if that doesn't work I'll have to abort using RenderWorks completely.

Thanks, Peter

rosebud,

Make sure all of your objects that have textures, also have a solid fill in the attribute palette. If they are set to none, the texture will not show.

Hello rosebud:

If you can, please send me a copy of this file. I will try to see what is going on here.

Thanks!
