Previews (OpenGL) gone

[zoomer]

Is it just me or do others have also problems in SP4 ?

 

My Previews disappear in RM as well as in any PIO when

I have set my usual OpenGL Mode.

 

They will only come back when I get down to Hidden Line or Wireframe Mode.

OK, so only missing previews for me.

Will look deeper if there could be any external dependencies.

Big sorry, my fault.

Class "None" was OFF

 

Everything fine again,

including Stair PIO previews ....

[zoomer]

But I'm a bit confused why I get Previews by HL or Wireframe

when "None" Class OFF anyway ?

Just not OpenGL.

I think this is a bug. Resource Manager previews shouldn't be dependent on class visibility. If the None class is off and the thumbnail of a symbol in the Resource Manager is changed to OpenGL the thumbnail disappears.

 

Edit: I submitted this as a bug.

Thanks Kevin,

now I got it and 100% agree with your post.

@zoomer is the geometry in the symbols you have showing the preview issue assigned to the "None" class? I'm curious because of a question I had from Tech Support. My test geometry was not.

Sorry for the delay,

I have a VW furniture Symbol that has everything on "None" by default and fails

in Open GL preview when "None" OFF,

although it can show Wireframe and Hidden Line when "None" OFF.

 

Same behaviors for my PIOs like Columns in RM that are not on "None" Class

but everything set to Custom Classes.

Although I can not guarantee that there isn't any internal VW usage of

a "None" Class anyway.

 

 

So IMHO,

VW update to show RM Previews without reacting to View Class Visibility Settings,

which I think is great,

for now seems to work well for Wireframe and Hidden Line modes but just still

fails for OpenGL Mode.

Does that make sense ?
