mdaszenies Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Hi, aborting rendering in OpenGL-mode crashes my whole system. In VW9 you could abort this operation by pressing cmd-period, and VW returned to wireframe. Now, VW 12.0.1 crashes everything. Is this a known issue? G4 15" PB 1,7 Ghz (PowerPC) OS 10.3.9, Quicktime 7.1.0 VW 12.0.1 Thx, Mario Quote Link to comment
Taproot Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I haven't experienced this per se - but I would like to chime in and say that Aborting processes that go awry seem pretty hit and miss. I recently tried using the profile mode of the polygon tool inside a viewport and to my chagrin, it tried to profile EVERYTHING. None of the typical abort methods would dislodge it from trying to complete its task. On another occassion, I selected "Final Quality-Radiosity" instead of "Final Quality - Renderworks" - after realizing that I had set myself up for a 10 hour render wait, I had to resort to force-quitting the application. You might consider putting a radiation symbol next to the radiosity choices or a "are you sure" second dialogue - for those unfamiliar with the wait in store for them. Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 My policy is simple... 'Save' before every call to Render just in case you have to "Force Quit'' the sucker. Make sure your OpenGL libraries are current. I highly recommend upgrading to Tiger 10.4.6. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Mario, What message do you receive when the program "crashes" ? Quote Link to comment
mdaszenies Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 Katie, Simply: None! It's not even possible to Force Quit anything, nor go to another app, nor do anything else. My Mac is dead!!! Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Okay - I understand this is a problem for you. In order for me to help you, I need information as specific as possible as to the problem. When you say it "crashes" you are not getting an error message. Does this mean that the application is still there or has the application quit with no error message. Quote Link to comment
Gytis Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Taproot- Just wondering, and can't find in Help, other than command-period, what are abort keystrokes? Quote Link to comment
mdaszenies Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 Katie, VW is still on my screen, but nothing seems to happen. And, as I said, it's not possible to switch to another app. btw: This really seems to be a severe bug. Please have a look at this thread Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 How long do you let the application sit? When was the last time you ran Disk Utility to verify and repair disk permissions? Quote Link to comment
mdaszenies Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 Maybe I'm not too patient, but I think that one or two minutes is far too long for a wait there. And I am running the Disk Utility right now. Mario Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 You are welcome to send a sample file demonstrating the problem to me. Please include your computer specs, VW specs and a brief description of the problem to tech@nemetschek.net Quote Link to comment
