jamesmise Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Periodically, I open a drawing and all the texture associations are gone. The textures are still in the resource browser but the objects do not have textures assigned to them anymore. Luckily I autosave every 10 minutes so I can reload a previous version. Otherwise it would take hours to re-assign. Does anyone know why this might happen? Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) James What kind of objects? Are the textures applied to the whole object or just part? I'm seeing weird issues with textures on roof faces with texture applied to just the top? mk Edited April 13, 2014 by michaelk Quote Link to comment
jamesmise Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 All different uses of textures. Objects. Image props. Everything. When I open the drawing its like I don't have Renderworks anymore! Everything is Open GL. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I've seen in in image props too. I haven't noticed anything that causes it yet. But I'm pretty sure it just started happening recently. mk Quote Link to comment
jamesmise Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 So none of the backups of this particular file have the textures assigned. I have no way to restore these other than going in and doing it manually. Hours of extra work. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted April 14, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 14, 2014 Please send me an example file where that has occurred. I have heard it from a user before, but was not able to replicate the issue. tech@vectorworks.net Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Jim I'm seeing it, too. Image props, extrudes, roof objects, slab objects, keep loosing their textures. I'm trying using classes to assign textures to see if that works better. mk Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted April 14, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 14, 2014 Apparently some of the guys in support are having a look at his files now to see if they can find out what happened. In the initial results it is as described above though, no evidence of what occurred. Quote Link to comment
jamesmise Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 It happened again! I'm in the middle of a project and all renderworks texture assignments are gone. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I have also experienced this. Thankfully only once so far. But a big bummer nonetheless. Quote Link to comment
jamesmise Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 I got to the bottom of this with the help of the guys at VW. It is a bug in 2014. If you change the texture of a class, it will ask you if you want to change the texture of all the objects in that class. If you select yes, it will correctly assign the texture to all the objects in that class but all other objects in your drawing will default to their object attribute color. If you look at the texture assignment of all those other objects, it will say "None". Before I discovered this, luckily I was not only backing up every 10 minutes, I would also save a completely new version of the file each day or two. So it was easy to go back to a good file. So everyone save and backup often! Quote Link to comment
