Render works settings

[Bazza!]

No matter what render setting I choose renderworks now produces the same quality medium GL render setting and I can't understand why even when using custom renderworks at a high setting

After restarting Vectorworks, does the same thing occur? If so, post a screenshot or two showing what you mean, please.

Hi Jim - after quitting and re opening the program it did go back as normal - I suppose if it happens again I'll have to do the same thing. By the way the grass render which is a welcomed addition is certainly a ram hungry beast - I foolishly tried to render a large area with this texture incorporated into an already detailed outside environment and after many many many hours I called it a day - infact it was actually two days. So in future I shall revert to using it in small amounts. Thanks again for your advice.

It is EXTREMELY resource intensive. Even more so than heavy Blur shading. Generally I recommend that it be used on grassy areas right near the camera/viewpoint, and that other methods (or simply just a flat grass texture) be used for grass further from the viewer.
