0 BG Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I really hope this is a localised issue. This looks just like what we experienced when 2018 was released, and we ended up going back to 2017 for a number or projects - and these projects are still to this day in 2017. Not good.

0 Will Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) Unfortunately it has occurred with both the 3D projects I have tried so far. The second one I tried was a clean project started in vw 2018. But obviously some wall styles and things like that are from libraries that have been updated. Its a shame as I really like the snappiness of 2019, the new zoom speed is fantastic. If I had to guess as to what has happened, they probably started work on improving the graphics module, which must have been a pretty major project that has taken a while, and they have forked the codebase before this was fixed in vw 2018 (I think is was maybe sp3) and now the bug is back. Hopefully if that is the case they can port the fix over pretty easily. Edited September 17, 2018 by Will Grammar. Also to say really enjoying the speed of 2019. Quote Link to comment

Would it be possible to send m you file privately for testing? Thanks, Matt 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm seeing stuff that should not be showing. Toilets, sinks, fixtures... classes are off but they are showing in the sections (if the section line touches it, it will show). opened the document in 2018 and it looks as it's supposed to be. Guess I'll go back to 18 when publishing time arrives. BTW I'm noticing faster workflow in 3d, faster panning, zooming, etc. Edited September 18, 2018 by RafaelPernia Quote Link to comment
0 Kingstone Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hidden Line rendering in the viewports seems to be the only thing working for me, Open GL was working then it stopped. The background rendering was the only thing that was appearing. I also will stay away from 2019 and suggest everyone also do the same until these god awful issues are fixed. P.S. If you try to call tech support, you will end up on hold for a while. My opinion is that unless your issue is dire just bear with the bug backlog and stick with the previous version that works for you. Just what I think is a wise opinion. Quote Link to comment

To confirm, this was the same after SP1, or only before, or both? Quote Link to comment
0 Kingstone Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I wrote that reply before SP1, before i got the alert to update. I am updating now and will inspect my issues later or tomorrow. Work comes first of course. Quote Link to comment

I would not recommend it no. Sp1 fixes some of the nastiest issues with Mojave but not all of them. I would hold off until 2019 SP2. Quote Link to comment
0 Kingstone Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Ok, thank you. And may I say that I tip my hat to all of tech support and the engineers for staying on top of these issues. Quote Link to comment
0 Will Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 So far this seems to be fixed with SP1 Quote Link to comment
Question
Will
Anyone else seeing stuff like this in vw 2019?
Top is correct drawing from vw 2018 sp4 (it's a work in progress drawing)
This is what vw 2019 draws....
Again this is correct:
This is the exact same viewport in vw 2019. ???????
Interestingly this is the same distortion that used to happen when vw2018 was first released.
