Markus Dohner Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Dear listers, I design exhibition layouts with lots of images for years and this is the first time I'm having a problem with the images. After clipping them ( such as a teapot with paths around it and inside its handle) and converting them to Pshop EPS, I import them to VW. Then I scale them to whatever. Everything is fine, but after about 15 minutes of VW use these images turn into gray squares with Xs thru them. This never happened in VW 2012 or older versions, never at all, this problem stated with VW 2013 and still happening in VW2014. To get rid of the squares and return to the image I must restart VW. Then it happens, again, in 5 -- 20 minutes of use. Happens inside of viewports, in design layers, wherever. A real PITA. Happens on my iMac at work and my laptop at home, same problems. I'm attaching the before and after JPEGS for your input. And a screen shoot of my preferences, as maybe that will help. Any comments or help appreciated! Apologies for any cross-posting. Many thanks, Markus Dohner Art Institute Chicago VW2014 Designer 2014 27" iMac with 8G VRAM and 16G system memory Quote Link to comment

Markus Dohner Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hi All--please look at these good and bad EPS image files in VW2014 Designer and tell me what you think. Thanks, Markus Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Are the misbehaving objects an image fill in a rectangle, an imported image, a texture on a 3D object? What view (Front, Top/Plan, Top)? If they are 2D are they on the screen plane or layer plane? Can you paste one or two objects into a blank file and post it? mk Quote Link to comment
Markus Dohner Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 The objects are EPS images that I import into VW 2013 or 2014, THis problem hasn't occurred in earlier versions all the way back to 12.5 Top/plan 2D elevations or plans See attached file in VW2014 Designer, 343KB. You will have to use the file or leave it open for 20 minutes before the eps images turn into gray boxes. Thanks, let me know what your thoughts are. -Markus Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 They are behaving fine for me. I notice the grey boxes only when zooming or when in Open GL render mode. Is it possible you are turning off Quartz rendering? That causes the boxes to appear? mk Quote Link to comment
Markus Dohner Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Hi Quartz imaging is on. My colleague designer has the same problem with the EPSs turning in to gray squares as well. We both use Pshop EPS clip paths to trim around irregular images and seemed to work fine for many years?.. Anybody at Nemetschek have any ideas why this is happening? Quote Link to comment
Markus Dohner Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Also the problem occurs when we are in Wireframe view. -md Quote Link to comment
