Steve Clarkson Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Hi All, Wondering if there's something I can do to help with this... I create a Realistic Exterior Fast render in the Design Layers. It takes about 4 minutes, reasonable, looks good, so I click Create Viewport and assign it to a Sheet Layer. I go to the Sheet and click Update - only changing Scale beforehand. This render takes an hour (!?!?!?!). Anything I can do? Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 The Design Layer render is at 72dpi, the SLVP has an assigned DPI, that might be 300. The increase is exponential. Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Screen Rendering is only (a typical olf Monitors resolutio) 72 DPI. If you would render a SLV with the same coarse Pixel amount it would also render in 4 minutes. So you can only lower your SL DPI resolution or decrease your SLVP's size. Or you try to optimize Materials and Render quality. Things that take a lot of render time and should be used with care and only where necessary are : Blurry Reflections Antialiasing Caustics ....

Vectorworks, Inc Employee TomWhiteLight Posted May 22, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 22, 2019 You could render on the cloud? Quote Link to comment
Steve Clarkson Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Doh! Right of course... Yes, the cloud would be awesome, not in our budget currently.... unfortunately. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
