Involved in producing a large render - usually if the progress bar appears not to progress after many minutes I check to see if Vectorworks is not responding by forcing a quit - it then shows up if it has a responding problem.
However at the time of writing this post (UK time at 12.45 in the morning) the progress bar appears to have not moved more than a third of the way in the last few hours. Checked with a potential forced quit and Vectorworks appears as if there is no response issue but there is no spinning wheel of death, at least this is sometimes an indication something is happening. It is a very big file but rendered it before without the problem I have now, I have just upped the quality from medium to high.
So I shall leave this in the hope it's still rendering until 8am approx and check it again. If it has got no visibly further I guess the render has failed. Downloading service pack 3 has made no difference to my earlier problem of acquiring textures and editing them in real time. I'm going to have a go at exporting Vectorworks as a cinema 4D file and see if the rendering is a less tedious process just hope it keeps the saved view etc as I am using a trial version and have little experience of using Cinema 4D.
Might invest though in Cinema 4D and give up Vectorworks as a lost cause
