DaveHi50 Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Im losing 3d data when I try to up the conversion resolution in 3d preferences--- its fine with the resolution set to low but when I try to turn it up parts of the drawing become invisible. They are still there -I can still select objects--but they cant be seen. Im trying to get rid of the wireframe look of my model.I have rendered useing final shaded polygons. Any sugestions???-- useing WXP-on 3gig p4-1qiq memory Mele Kalikimaka!!!! Quote Link to comment
Bart Rammeloo Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Sounds like a display problem (duh ). What kind of Graphics Card are you using? Are you using NURBS? Did you change the quality of your OGL-display? What settings did you use for your Graphics Card - is hardware acceleration set to none or to full? Does it happen with every scene, or only with complex scenes? How many (copies of) symbols do you have? Cheers, BaRa Quote Link to comment
DaveHi50 Posted December 23, 2003 Author Share Posted December 23, 2003 my graphics card is a ATIRaedon 7000 Im not useing NURBS 3D settings are-direct 3d max resolution hardware acceleration- full the scene isnt complex -rather simple ummmm--copies of symbols?????( dont know- ) this happens not only on this machine -but on a gateway---dont have the specifics for that one at the moment. Im stumped Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 Is the drawing rendered when you change the setting or in wireframe? Have you checked to make sure there are no updates for the video card? Quote Link to comment

There are several possible actions that can be taken depend on the types of objects that are invisible, and how willing you are to make changes to your document to support this rendering. Final shaded polygon renderings should be unaffected by the graphics card, so it is most likely a VectorWorks flaw. What are the objects that don't render?

DaveHi50 Posted December 27, 2003 Author Share Posted December 27, 2003 the object that doesnt render is a simple extruded octagon, with misc shapes ( numbers ) embossed on its surface. Quote Link to comment

How is the embossing done? Is this an object created by add/subtract solid, or is the embossing a separate object? Quote Link to comment
