MikeC Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I have had some problems with objects vanishing when rendered. This is what I have found Create any 3D object, give it a class. Create a design layer viewport of that object layer Give the DLVP a class but not the same as the object Edit the DLVP in the OIP making the class of the DLV invisible. ie this class should be visible in both layers but not visible in the DLVP Change to a 3D view, the object will visible in wire frame but if you render it it will vanish ! I first came across this when working to a tight deadline but now that I know what is happening I can avoid it. There is also something similar going on with symbols in viewports but I have not got to the bottom of that yet. Quote Link to comment

Scott Reynolds Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I've run into the same problem with symbols. Didn't realize at first that it was related to this one. I have updated and still have the issue. See my posting on the 31st. Scott VW 2008 Win Vista Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Have you tried updating the PIOs? Go to Tool:Utilities:Update PIOs This should convert the old style PIOs to the latest and greatest format. Pat Quote Link to comment

MikeC Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 I have now updated to sp3 but it didn't help. I will report it as a bug as you suggest. Quote Link to comment
CS1 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) I have had the same problem, I had one object and in openGL half of the object appeared as hidden line and the other half openGL, in final quality renderworks and wire frame looks fine. Edited June 3, 2008 by CS1 Quote Link to comment
j.christ Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 If you have cropped the DLVP, uncrop it as the crop will make it vanish when rendered. Quote Link to comment
