Trying to create a site model crashes the program

[Chuck97]

For a bit of context: I just downloaded Vectorworks 2023. I was using a Mac Mini for a while, but just recently got a Mac Studio for more RAM. I thought this increase in memory would help with some of the problems I was having, but still when I try to create a site model from source data, the Vectorworks app closes out and I get a pop-up prompting me to send a report to Apple and reopen the program. Has anyone else had this problem? I had no such trouble making site models in Vectorworks 2022.

Could your source geometry have a crazy number of vertices?  Or geometry that overlaps itself?

 

Does it work on simpler geometry.

 

If you post the source file here we can take a look at it.  I often use the simplify commands to make source geometry simpler before creating the DTM.  It makes it faster with fewer micro triangles.

@Chuck97 as @michaelk says, if you can share the source data file, we will be able to get a better idea of what is causing the issue. If you imported older workspaces, please try on a new workspace, and check that the internal origin is not far from the 0,0 coordinate.

I got it to work; thanks, guys

 Hi Chuck97, I hope you're well. What you did to make it work. I'm just starting in VW and I have the same problem, but I am in a PC not Mac

. Don't know what to do more.
