VW2018 Vanishing objects in rendering?


Marconi

Question

Hello,

 

I'm having a seemingly funky rendering issue across multiple files. I'm running VW Spotlight 2018 SP4 and am unable to render in Final Renderworks or as Custom Renderworks. Its as if the operation never starts and all my objects, symbols, etc. become transparent (as in they become invisable). Everything is still selectable and appears with an orange outline when selected. Also of note is that when I zoom in and out with the mouse, I am able to briefly see all objects crudely rendered. However, the moment I release the mouse when zooming to lock in a view, all objects revert to their incognito modes and disappear once again. Open GL rendering seems to work just fine. File uploaded below 

 

I cant find anything else about this problem on the forums, so I know I'm missing something. Or perhaps I'm just a victim of not enough GPU for VW? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

Specs:

MacBook Pro 10.13.6 (13-inch, 2016) 

2.9 GHz Intel Core i5

8 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3

Intel Iris Graphics 550 1536 MB

 

Running VW2018 Spotlight

I don’t know if you ever managed to resolve this problem, but two years later I am experiencing the same problem on the 2020 version. I tried rendering on two different devices on sheet layer (Final Quality Renderworks) and it appears to be all white. It only works on OpenGL.

 

Thanks

I FIGURED IT OUT!

 

I was having the same issue with vwx 2021 SP4. The viewport on my sheet layer was rendering and not showing classes and objects that I had turned ON in the viewport's visibilities.

 

The solution was to go to the design layer (any of the design layers in the rendering) and look at my class palette. The classes were turned OFF in the design layer and this was causing the problem, even tho they were turned ON in the viewport. Turned them on in the design layer and it worked instantly. 

 

FYI it was faster to diagnose this problem by looking at the model in the design layer in fast renderworks exterior mode.

Sorry,

but I was already on Big Sur public Beta before VW 2021 release.

I had no problems with the initial VW release.
SP 1 came and fixed some small Big Sur issues which I don't had.

 

But the more SPs came out the more problems I even get.

Now we have lots Visibility issues, starting with SP2 or 3 (?),

looks like I can't create any Lights (which I don't really need)

and more crashes (?)

 

I think there isn't much difference between the Mac and PC

version concerning increasing issues.

 

I have similar experience with Big Sur itself.

It was ok from the beginning with some minor issues.

I still have these issues. But with later releases it looks like I

got more and more of issues that others already described,

which I did not have from the beginning.

 

Now with Monterey Public Beta, I still have my old issues,

maybe without the "external drive not properly ejected"

warning now, but still the same resized Windows hinting

that it is still there.

 

I don't get all this at the moment.

I was used that Apps and OSs get more stable and better

after times, not worse.

Plus a few extra issues like some legacy Software no more

starting or working properly.
