Rendering Viewports What the!...

[CS1]

Can someone tell me whats happening with the attached image.

The openGL doesnt seem to recognize the projection?

The oblique views are not supported in OpenGL or renderworks.

Its in the manual. Top of page 406.

To be honest, I view OpenGL more as a quick hardware accelerated preview and do not consider it consistent/accurate enough to use as a final or printed view.

i used to call OpenGL quick and dirty. Its better than it used to be but I wouldn't use it for a client presentation.

[CS1]

Yeah Id never use it for any presentation purposes but because its quick I use it while im making changes prior to doing one "final" viewport. Is it not a bug that openGL looks like this in this particular case?

[Jonathan Pickup]

if you think it's a bug, report it..

[IanH]

No, its fully documented that Vectorworks does not support oblique projections in OpenGL or Renderworks. OpenGL does not directly support oblique projections without further manipulation of the projection matrix. So it is not unreasonable that oblique OpenGL views are not supported in VW.
