Horst M. Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) Hi, I just installed VW 2014, and the first Modell I opened produced right away the beloved "Out of memory" Message in open GL render ..... Open GL render set to low, no anti aliasing ...... VW2013 did the job. .... not shure what to say Sigh. Edited September 18, 2013 by Horst M. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Dave Donley Posted September 18, 2013 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 18, 2013 Hello Horst: If you launch Applications->Utilities->Activity Monitor and look at the "Real Mem" entry when VW is running, what is it getting up to? Also if you can do this with 2013 I'd be interested in that. We will likely need to see the file. Quote Link to comment
Horst M. Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) Hi Dave. Thanks. I checked it a few times, the "out of Memory Message" shows above 1.4GB and the the Program stops rendering. ---> "switched back to wireframe" a second before that happens, VW2014 is marked red "the Program doesn't react". in the Activity Monitor VW2013 never goes above 600MB with the FIle in Open GL,low Rendering takes about 20 seconds If you like, I can dropbox the File.

Horst M. Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 For the Forum. The problem was basically caused by an Tapered Extrude that was based on Polygon with 1032 Vetricies. Luckly this Killergeometry it was in a Symbol. This Symbol is used 100+ times in the Modell The Original Polygon came from from a .dwg File ...... Shame on me, that after 10 Years of using VW, I still go in this Trapp I rebuilt the polygon --- > 18 Verticies! Result: Open GL even set to Hi, renders fine. The Model isn't easy. for 3D Software. Its very Detailed and has a lot of Geometry Thanks to Dave! Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Horst, thanks for sharing. Its good to know this type of model is possible. I have to draw things like this all the time. In the bigger picture I vote for a filter that finds high geometry objects for us. Kevin Quote Link to comment
