Speedy Gonzales Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Just recently (even prior to SP5 update), we began to notice that our exterior elevations within viewports were rendering fine, but when we went to add annotations or refine the elevations by drawing, the model would no longer render in hidden line mode. So now, we see all of the lines (wireframe) throughout. What could have changed? Is this a bug? We've tried opening various files on different computers and are now discovering that this is a global issue. Can someone please suggest a fix, or how we can correct a render setting? Thanks!

michaelk Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I can't make it happen w/ SLVPs. Are you using DLVPs? Can you post an example of a stripped down file with the problem? michaelk Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Matt Panzer Posted January 15, 2010 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 15, 2010 Hi Irving, This probably isn't the case, but did you check the viewport's render background AND foreground mode? I came across a file that had the foreground render mode changed (probably inadvertently by me) from "none" to wireframe. Quote Link to comment
billtheia Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 If you are saying that you only see wireframe when adding annotations but everything returns to normal when you exit annotation mode, there's a setting for displaying the viewport cache when editing. Can someone point him to it? Quote Link to comment
Speedy Gonzales Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 thanks everyone for the quick and informative discussion. desperately, through trial and error, we found that billtheia was alluding to in the annotation viewport settings. Somehow, when we updated to SP5 back in December, some of our settings changed without our realizing. For everyone else who may find this issue as well, when you double-click on the viewport and select edit viewport annotation, click and check the radio button that says "Display Viewport Cache". That brought it back for us! Quote Link to comment
