outlawdesign Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Hi, When I switch from wireframe to hidden line render mode, the program takes such a long time to re-render the view that I'm becoming reluctant to work in that view at all. Is there any way to speed this up, or are my files possibly clogged with unnecessary data of some kind? Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 HiddenLine is slower but not so much slower as to be unuseable. Look for artifacts, duplicates, etc. Make a copy of the file and then purge it. Are you using Work Group Referencing for any of the rendered parts? Quote Link to comment
outlawdesign Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 Thanks, I just purged the file and searched VW Help for a way to find artifacts and duplicates. Is there a trick for identifying them? Quote Link to comment
MKingsley Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 You can speed up Hidden Line by setting the 3D conversion resolution to medium or low in the VW preferences "3D" dialog window. Quote Link to comment
outlawdesign Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 Thanks for the tip. The 3D preference was on medium; now I've got it set at low and it seems a little faster, but it may be my imagination. Quote Link to comment
