gokarch Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Sometimes, for some reason; our windows have a strange invisible pane at right angles to the rest of the window... It's annoying, and some times prints which obviously causes a problem! does anyone know what it is, and how to get rid of it? you can only see it when you hover over the window with your mouse... but as I said, it also sometimes prints... See pics for clarity!! Cheers Joe Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Can you make a test file by stripping out everything except that window and wall and post it here. We may be able to help figure it out. Quote Link to comment
gokarch Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 File attached. Another issue with this particular situation is that there's a window in the wall above the door, and one of the components is showing up wrong... Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Joe Quote Link to comment
gokarch Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 Sorry to bug, but did anyone manage to see what the problem was with this? Cheers, Joe Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 You have door and window objects stacked on top of each other and Vw shows them all. It doesn't create the 2D from a theoretical section plane at 4' above floor level. You may have to resort to modelling your walls in two two parts split over two Design Layers. ie. up to say 8' in the first Design Layer with the remainder in the second Design Layer. If the first Design Layer's delta z is 8' then the Z of the second design Layer will be 8'. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Are you talking about the rectangular bottom windows not showing? If so, it is because the jamb/trim of the door is overlapping it. Try setting the wall doors and windows to different colors and it will be easier to see. If it is something else, you need to explain better what you are seeing that should/should not be there.

gokarch Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 I'll try explain better... In picture 1 above the door is selected, but the mouse isn't hovering over it. All seems to be fine, the door is displaying properly. In picture 2 the mouse is hovering over the door and you can see something the same width of the door leaf at right angles to the door, as thought the door leaf has rotated 90 degrees within the frame.... this happens with windows sometimes too, in many unrelated situations. It also prints out showing this random right angle, which as you can tell is quite annoying... but only sometimes! I hope that makes a bit more sense..! Quote Link to comment
gokarch Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 below is another example of this problem, the offending 'ghost' bits circled in red... Cheers, Joe Quote Link to comment
brudgers Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 It does not appear that the graphics system of your thinkpad T40 meets the minimum requirements for VW 2009. What graphics card do you have in the Vostro? Quote Link to comment
gokarch Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 This doesn't happen on the think pad, just the vostro, which has an ATI Radeon HD 3600 series Graphics card.... Cheers Joe Quote Link to comment
