WR-Studio Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 It takes a long time (10-15 min) to print sheets (pdf) w/ elevation/section and the models disappear when I open the file. Every time i reopen a working file, the sheet layer viewports show the red/white border around all viewports and I only see the annotations (no model info). [see atch image] I can update the viewports, but it takes a long time. I encounter the same problem when printing. How can I expedite these commands? This occurs with elevation and section viewports. Plan viewports print instantly. print resolution = 300. I tried 150 with similar results. I checked "Display Objects Beyond View Plane" and "Display Planar Objects" for each elevation/section viewport. I tried the "Save As pdf" and "Open PDF in Preview" options with similar results. VW quits unexpectedly 9/10 times. All viewports link to the 3D model. Is this normal behavior? What settings must I revise to see viewport content and print to pdf in a reasonable time?

CipesDesign Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Eric, It looks like you have quite a few VP's there. If they are Section VP's (which I suspect they are) then the time to regen/update is probably pretty normal. Sometimes there are particular Layers, Classes or Objects which slow things down, although tracking them down can be tedious. My best advice is to create a little script via the Custom Selection command: "Select VP's". Then you can update all the VP's at a more convenient time (during a break, or lunch), then print to PDF.

VincentCuclair Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Try with the 'Save Viewport Cache' checked Eric...... Edited July 10, 2013 by Vincent C Quote Link to comment
WR-Studio Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Peter and Vincent. Thanks for the suggestions. I tried to update viewports during other operations and the program still quits unexpectedly. I checked the option to retain viewport cache, but it still quiets. I'll submit this to tech support so they can identify the problems with my model. Quote Link to comment
pgym Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 You could try updating a few VPs at a time to determine whether any individual VP(s) is (are) causing VW to hang or crash, or if it's the sheer number of VPs causing a low memory/out-of-memory condition. Quote Link to comment
taliho Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I had a similar experience - after sequentially hiding classes and objects (took me a few hours) i eventually found one hybrid symbol that was causing the problem. A toilet from the kohler library was too 'heavy' to update all the VP's. This symbol appeared in several bathrooms, and I was using Section VPs for interior elevations. (your issue may be unrelated.... ) best of luck Quote Link to comment
