renderworks issue

[land1]

when I render in final quality renderworks I get a blank screen. The model has image props, 3d symbols and renderworks background, the file is approx 16meg. The model renders fine in open gl but will not show in final quality renderworks.If I use artistic renderworks I get a black screen.

Sometimes if i shut the program down and restart, the model renders in final quality renderworks but not always.

This problem has occurred on 3 different machines here with no apparent consistency.

I am using vectorworks 12.5.1 Pentium 4 3ghz 1.5g ram 256m radeon 9600pro windows xp

Is this the same saved view or from a variety of viewpoints? I've had some strange issues with complex files that for some reason will not render from a set and saved view.

I get the same thing happen - sometimes the screen just wont render in final quality, sometimes it does, and sometimes it just goes black in the render window? This can happen in open GL too. I sometimes use the render camera and sometimes just click the 'set 3d view' button. When this happens i just restart Vectorworks and it quite often comes right, if it doesn't i restart the computer and then it comes right - only to happen again at some stage later in the day etc...

..very frustrating!

Any solutions?

A useful method for discovering corrupted objects:

Move the entire model to another layer, then bring them back in to the layer you are rendering one by one. Each time re-render the scene. Invariably I find some object that "breaks" the render.

Thanks for the suggestion
