ThinAirDesigns Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Hi folks -- I recently upgraded from 2008 to 2011 and am finally getting around to using it. Odd rendering behavior: Wireframe, openGL, and several others work as expected, but Fast, Final and Custom Renderworks don't work *at all* ... all objects disappear. Something changed from 2008 to 2011 that I need to do different? Any ideas? Thanks in advance. JB Quote Link to comment
Mitch Brooks Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Do you actually have Renderworks installed? Quote Link to comment
ThinAirDesigns Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 I wondered as well, so I went to "Help - About Renderworks ... " and it says "Licensed Products: Designer, Renderworks". JB Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Do you see the progress bar running in the lower right hand corner? ie. does the render happen and you get a white screen or does it not even render? mk Quote Link to comment
ThinAirDesigns Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 No progress bar as is typical for rendering. Progress bar works fine in other modes such as 'polygon'. Thanks JB Quote Link to comment

Not sure if it will help with this specific issue, but will give you some general migration tips... http://www.vectorworks-training.co.uk/Buy_Vectorworks/Renderworks.aspx Thanks Quote Link to comment
ThinAirDesigns Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 Thanks Tamsin. Excellent document but as you suspected, nothing related to my problem. JB Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 So you've never been able to render w/ final/fast/custom rw in 2011? Have you tried opening a new file drawing an extrude and rendering? If that doesn't work, I would suspect a corrupt install of RW. mk Quote Link to comment
ThinAirDesigns Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 That is correct michaelk -- never tried until now and no such rendering from the first try. Yes -- did a simple extrude in a new file with same results. I suspected the same as far as the install but wanted to check and see if there was some check box or the like that I was missing before I go through that. Thanks JB Quote Link to comment
ThinAirDesigns Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 Thanks to all who had suggestion -- a clean reinstall of 2011 did the trick. JB Quote Link to comment
