NaeSean Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Upgraded from VW 12.5 and I am crashing, and totally frustrated. Specifically, crashes seem to occur with site models (can't select and modify nodes/objects = crash, and as soon as I hit 'upgrade' = crash. When I grab a 2D node in plan and try to move it = crash. Some files crash while opening before I can even look at them. Sorry VW I can't just start from scratch with VW 2011. I need to be able to use the old files I've created. I have been a huge fan of VW and quite a competent user (in 12.5) and I upgraded because the render engine upgrades looked worth it. This has been an extremely frustrating day 1. Hope someone out there has some advice. thanks... Quote Link to comment
NaeSean Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 BTW. Using a new imac i5, 2TB hd + 8G ram...can't see that the computer is the problem... Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 You shouldn't be crashing. First things to try: Make sure your video drivers are up to date. Run disk utilities and repair permissions. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I'm also seeing serious stability issues. VW 2010 is stable on my machine. But VW 2011, even a drawing started from scratch in 2011, often lags when zooming, flying over, changing views, selecting, etc. Renders hang. It's crashing 10 - 15 times a day. I attribute some of it to my not being familiar yet with the new RenderWorks. And I've found a few symbols in the library that bring 2011 to it's knees. Fixing those really helped.

Kevin McAllister Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I find VW 2011 really lags in some instances, even in brand new files. I'm not sure what's up but something is definitely not right. Kevin Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 And I've found a few symbols in the library that bring 2011 to it's knees. Fixing those really helped.Were these symbols that were installed by Vw2011- or were they symbols of your own? Thanks, Tim Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 They were stock symbols in the library. I replaced an extrude along path with a simple extrude in the symbol and the improvement in performance was immediate and drastic. mk Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 That's not good- sounds like you should file a Bug Report. Tim Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 hmmmm Just went back and tried the same symbols in 2010. Same issue. Extreme lag until the EAPs were replaced... Quote Link to comment
scottfdavis Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Did you download SP1? We had lots of crashing before downloading it. On the flip side, SP1 seems to be causing slow downs with reference updates. Maybe SP2 will come to the rescue soon. Quote Link to comment
NaeSean Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 RE-installed VW 2011 today and these issues are not there anymore. Not sure what happened with the first install... Quote Link to comment
Horst M. Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 VW 2011 even SP1 is still Beta Niveau compared to other Software for Professional use. Since VW10 I've always upgraded as soon as the new Version was available. But now my first tryouts with 2011 were disillusioning. Quote Link to comment
