rcarch Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I am experiencing a odd issue when rendering. I have a VW 2011 file that has native vector information, an imported PDF and a referenced model of a building. The referenced model renders fine, but the native vectors (lines, polylines) are pixelated and real low res. I have attached the image in wireframe though Final RW. Any ideas on what this might be? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
grant_PD Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Looks like your pdf. It looks like the renderer is using a low res version of the pdf, sort of like how it does when you zoom in real fast. Maybe try not using it as a pdf, but as a jpeg. Perhaps then it will cache the actual image. Quote Link to comment
rcarch Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Thanks for the suggestion. I looked into that and turned off the layer with the PDF on it and the results are still the same. The native vectors are still distorted. I have also checked for resolution control on the layers and viewports, but that does not exist. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Are you on a sheet layer with a low dpi? Quote Link to comment
cad@sggsa Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 See if you have the same result when starting a new drawing with everything in it except the pdf. Sometimes importing something does wierd stuff to VW. Also is the reference drawing set to render on specific DPI in it's origenal form? Quote Link to comment
rcarch Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 I am in a model layer so there is no DPI control. As for the res on the referenced PDF, I am not aware of a way to control the resolution of a PDF. It shows fine in top/plan view, and in wireframe, but as soon as I go into anything other than that, it becomes distorted. I think I need to explore here a little bit and try what Carl is suggesting. I will report back on what I find. In the meantime, keep any suggestions coming! Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I did a little experimenting and was surprised by the results. Is your PDF still a PDF Page in the Object Info Palette? My tests showed that a PDF only shows up as a blank rectangle in OpenGL and Final Renderworks unless I ungroup it. When its ungrouped the bitmap part seems to convert to a low res proxy but then its visible in OpenGL and Final Renderworks. Kevin Quote Link to comment
rcarch Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 I will have to check on that. I am pretty sure that it is still a pdf page. Quote Link to comment
