Damon Design Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I just got V.12 and have starting playing around with it, there does seem to be some great features and improved functionality but let me hold back on my effusive praise for just a moment. The rendering times seem to be distinctly longer, very simple models (small two story house-two lights-few textures) now I have just started working in new version so want to know if I'm doing something wrong or if in fact that is what my upgrade dollars have bought me. It seems bizarre to me to have all this time-saving new functionality if it offset by waiting for rendering. Yes, I know I have an old decrepit platform but can't see upgrading until the Intel chip machines come out. Please tell me that this is not the case. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Dave Donley Posted January 9, 2006 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 9, 2006 Hello Damon Design: From our tests up to now 12 is not slower than 11.0.0 or 11.5.1. If you could, please send me the file at dave@nemetschek.net and I will run it through testing to see if something is wrong. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Damon Design Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 Thanks for the quick reply Dave. Like I said I have just started to explore the new release and haven't worked with a number of different files yet. I will continue to check it out and hopefully your tests will prove true with my old machine. I am liking most of the new features very much so far. Cheers Quote Link to comment
AZ MediaOne Design Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Version 12 IS Dramatically slower in OpenGL rendering. The real time flyover & walk through NO LONGER even functions.(only displays online box) I do residential design and model all my work. I take all my clients through a walk though of there house as part of my design fee. I have had to go back to VW 11.5 PS Resolved above issue, Thanks for the notes....
